okay not certian if any one mentioned this before.

but this is a simple method of beable to watch dvb through your dvb card... only prerequiste is that your dvb card works with My theatre..

basically all you do is it configure my theatre timebuffer file to have the extension mpg instead of tmp (say callit dvb.mpg). set it large enough where as it does not give you any problems. also set it to delete time buffer... also for compatiblity and more stablity, build a null graph for my theatre just so that the time buffer line moves with in the program MT program.. anything conected to mt dxpin will do..( just the audio pin is fine) you can have mt start minimized)
now all you do is use your video libary select the MT timebuffer and away you go.. basically all I did for changing channels is just configure girder to control mt theater too along with gb-pvr.. and operate from my fovorite lists.. and it a basic macro that releases the timeshift file filcks back to the gb-pvr main menu then video libary and starts playing the timeshift file again once the channel changes.
it is a bit awkward but basically no different then having a reciever hooked up the video inputs of the 150 pvr .. ( the audio goes out of sync if you change the channel -- you have to return to main menu and back to regain sync.)

basically if you have a twinhan, ss1 or ss2 it will work.. I recomend version mt 2.76 ( it's free)

I sure someone with some programing skill could configure a nice skin and dll that could do all this from osd menu of gb-pvr. since my theatre also operates from a command lines.. heck it even grabs the epg fom the provider and you could display the info on the osd.. if I can recomend something, if someone makes a skin that does this, I sugest that you use an *,ini file that contains the commanline switched to control MT.. and not to be placed with in the dll . MT author has a bad habit of flip flopping all over the place when he issues a new release of MT thing tend to be different. at least people with new versions of mt could adjust so as it would still be compatible with the skin...

i have a plextor px-tv402u i'm signed up for an epg it shows all my channels but i can't change them plus theres no audio.
any help would be great. thanks

Is it correct that only MP3 files may be played using the following
PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().AddAudioFileToQueue(musicFile);

I have tried playing WMA files without success.

I'm mapping a drive to a fileserver, but that won't work for recordings. When I change the recording folder to c:\ all works great. Is this a feature or a bug? For me it's very inconvenient atleast.

Hi,
I have been using the mediamvp for a while now, but I cannot for the life of me get video from DVD's to work right.

I just tried the DVD2MPEG plugin. It made an mpeg file but the audio is about 2-3 seconds behind(on both the MVP and the PC). I also retried the mplex step. I have tried many different programs and methods. I have searched forums and followed 'how-to guides'. No matter what I do there is always something wrong with the end result. The closest I have gotten: on the PC all worked but on the MVP sound with no picture. That was with Auto GordianKnot.

At this point I just want to get an mpeg that can play back on the MVP. I don't care how big it is, and I would be willing to pay for a program that can really do it.

I know my PC is capable:
AMD64 3200+
512mb RAM

Thanks for any help!!!

P.S. mpegs made from analog video capture do work perfectly.

I am currently researching PVR software.  I do not have a capture card yet because I am trying to find software that has the functionality I need.  I have added some recordings so I can see what the general functionality is and checked the forums for the latest Hardware support etc but I have the following queries?

1. Where do I change the priority of a recording?

2. Instead of a "season pass" can you do a general free text search and add this as a recurring recording?

3. Is it possible to do a "record this program on all channels"?

4. How long has GBPVR been available?  How often are updates? Sorry to ask this (I am not asking for a new release) I just want to get an idea of how long it has been available, whether it is actively being developed and what has changed between versions?

5. What is the MediaMVP forum for?  Is this a seperate product or something that GBPVR provides?  Does this allow some kind of streaming setup?  e.g. one machine with GBPVR on it and this single machine can serve 2 TV's via a MVP or something?  Is this possible - can anyone provide some links so I can read up on what I would need (need MPG/AVI support)?

TIA

In order to present download statistics on the wiki, I have come across a number of obstacles. One of them is how to configure webalizer to report all .zip files (not just top 10).

As I'm assuming this is a wanted feature, I just wanted you to know that I'm still working on this one, and if anyone knows something, please let me know...

Hi, I'm having a problem with DVD playback... it doesn't work, no icon in the menu or anything. I've got the latest version, I've searched the forum for others with the same problem. I found one post where Sub said that it would be fixed in a maintenance release shortly, but that was a month ago, and there have been releases since that time. My DVD drive is a generic drive on E:, DVD2MPEG plugin works with it fine, but I just want to be able to play the damn DVDs straight up.

I've gotten everything else to work, except this one small piece... Can anyone help?

Oh, and Yes, I have the checkbox saying to show the DVD button checked... (Not sure why this is needed though, since you can disable at the plugins page.)

Forgive the huge newb question...but what are my options in terms of scheduling recordings? Can I do the TIVO equivelent of a 'season pass' or repetitive recordings? Where is this info in the online documentation.

thanks!

My motherboard gains anything between 2 seconds and a minute every 15 minutes. So rather than go through all the hassle of sending it back and getting a replacement i decided to use some free time sync software and set up a scheduled task to update the time every 15 minutes.

I think this caused a problem with recording a specific program on christmas day (vicar of dibley on bbc1).

My theory is that the recording started, then the time got synced which put the clock outside of the program time (including padding) which then stopped the recording.

is there anyway the code could be modded to cope with this situation.
