v0.96.12 maintenance release

[alanjrobertson]

DVB-T channel switching definitely much faster!

LOL noticed my weather map changed to Wellington NZ and Imperial units though (I'm guessing something must have come across from sub's setup - I was previously metric units and UK locations!)

[Pioneer4x4]

What is the timestamp of your weather.dll?

1/19/2006 Hmmm.

or should I say $&#$%@$

[Q*bert]

Thanks for you help.

For some reason that I cannot explain, it is working now.

1. I am doing the same as you and copying the Maui III PAL and changing the names. I don't understand what most of the lines do, but why is this line here?

PIN_ENCODER_I2S_IN=ATI MUX Video YUV Input

Do we need all these lines or were they all added just for testing?

Some devices dont use the I2S pin, so this one could probably be missing, but all the others need to present. I started with the definition of the ATI 550 card, which is why this one was probably left this way.

2. Each enrty in the direct.ini starts something like the following. My question is, does the syntax of the string in the [Emuzed Maui III PAL] have to match anything, or is it a descriptive name.
[Emuzed Maui III PAL]
ARCHITECTURE=DVXPERT
INIT_MODE=DEFAULT

Mainly, if I have to put the device name, then I would put this.
[Emuzed EvcapMaui]
but I would rather put something more readable.
[Emuzed Maui I HP]

Use a readible name. Make it [Emuzed Maui I HP].

BTW, Sub and Littlalex, did either of you have timestamp problems with the recordings?

I've only done a few short test recordings, and this wasnt something I checked.

Well, good news is that GBPVR now supports my Maui-I OEM HP card. I wonder what other cards use the DVXplore chip? So with this, GBPVR now supports MCE systems that HP, Gateway and Samsung provided.

I am attaching the entry for the direct.ini for my Maui-I HP card. Sub, you can remove any lines that shouldn't be there.

But the bad new is that I am having the timestamp issue that has been reported by PVR150 users. But at least this is not a GBPVR problem. Looks like I'll have to start contacting the manufacturer.

For the other people with Maui cards, do you see this timestamp issue. It only seems to be a problem for the MVP though.

In the short term, for people having the timestamp issue, I have been using the following workaround for several months. I just added the following line to my PostProcessing.bat file. Make sure you have a nice fast PC.

retime %1 %1
comskip %1
rectracker %1 > rectracker.log

Sub, is there a way in the PostProcessing.bat to tell what tuner the recording came from? It would be nice to tell it to only do this for the Maui card.

Thanks for the great work Sub. Now I am going to test it with 2 Maui cards.

Regarding the lines in the upper right corner of the screen that someone posted. The screen shot reminded me fo the box that the elecard codec displays in the upper right corner. Perhaps they have they trial version of the codec?

First, WOW the new version (96.12) is very very nice I like it a lot.

However, I do have a small problem. When selecting WATCH to a program in the guide, or selecting 'LIVE TV' a message is displayed. It is in Danish and translates to 'The input string is in the wrong format'. I noticed that Sub has in another thread written, that it is about the decimal seperator, so I change my Windows XP to use '.' as decimal seperator, however it did not help.

My PC is using Windows XP Home Edition, Danish Version. The caption setting in Config is set to Danish (have tried English, but no change). I upgraded from V96.08 to 96.10 and then 96.12.

Here is the snip from the log file:

I am attaching the entry for the direct.ini for my Maui-I HP card. Sub, you can remove any lines that shouldn't be there.

Cheers.

No there isnt.

I had a very strange problem after upgrading from 95.16 to 96.11.
I’ve finally(!) tracked it down and wanted to report the cause and fix.
I’m using an XP system named GB-PVR, accessing shares from a 2k system named XP-1800. The same computers worked fine with 95.16, but there was no way I was reverting back after all the speed improvements!!!


After updating from 95.16 to 96.11, my MVP would crash and reboot immediately when playing a video from a network share in video library.
Here’s the strange part.
But only from a “newly” assigned share (the pre-existing ones work fine), and only when watching the mpeg on the MVP.
GBPVR playback with the same files, from the same network locations, worked without a problem!

Here’s what I eventually found in config.xml

<VideoLibraryDirectory>250G USB2 (Local)~E:\Video Library|120G (XP-1800)~\\XP-1800\Video Library|XP-REC~\\Xp-1800\XP-REC|</VideoLibraryDirectory>

“120G (XP-1800)~\\XP-1800\Video Library” existed before the upgrade.
“XP-REC~\\Xp-1800\XP-REC” was added using config, after the upgrade.

After I changed the “p” to “P” the MVP plays the files without rebooting.
