Do you have the header file that defines IHDHomeRun_ProgramFilter?

Default is 3 seconds so add say "5.0" to the end of the channel changer command. :o I was pulling my hair out on why I could not get the second tuner to filter...so I added a couple of logger lines to your code to see what was being sent to the HDHomeRun.....well....you guessed it.....user error..... I had a copy/past faux pas on the second tuner....I forgot to change the tunner id to be a 1 so it was sending the command to tuner 0....:o All fixed up now......  On the other subject of the developer info being updated....does this mean there may be native interface to GBPVR for filtering?

Hi, I'm new to the GBPVR scene and am using the HD Homerun with ATSC and ffdshow mpeg-4 as the decoder on a 1080p set. On stations with subchannels, it doesn't display the video. Is that the sort of thing this filter app is for? It's not really clear in the OP.
Also, Whurlston, glad to see you have a HDHR! did you edit go.ini or direct.ini for best compatibility? There doesn't seem to be any documentation on what these files do. The resolution of the decoded video doesn't seem good, with visible edge ailiasing (jaggies) that isn't apparent when playing the video with VLC. It's not clear where the setting for video decode resolution is in GBPVR. Finally, when playing live, channel changing using the up/down arrows doesn't work. my channel changer in the config is set to 'no channel changer required' but maybe that's not true?

It's not really clear in the OP.If you are using over the air ATSC, you don't really need to use the filter app. It's mainly to decrease network traffic on cable QAM channels where you are getting a 38Mbps stream. drlava Wrote:Also, Whurlston, glad to see you have a HDHR! did you edit go.ini or direct.ini for best compatibility?

It's not clear where the setting for video decode resolution is in GBPVR.Had one for a while.  In fact my very first post on this forum was to ask if GBPVR supported it. sub told me no, so I bought a book on C# go.ini and direct.ini are for different types of devices. The only ini you need to edit is the bda.ini. I wrote instructions at http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5449 If your video is not as good as VLC, try different decoders. Also, you would be using MPEG-2 decoding, not MPEG-4. Your MPEG-2 decoder is set up in Config's "Playback" tab. drlava Wrote:Finally, when playing live, channel changing using the up/down arrows doesn't work. my channel changer in the config is set to 'no channel changer required' but maybe that's not true?Your channel changer is set correctly. I just use the channel changer option for launching the filtering program because it get's launched on every channel change. Your issue will probably be solved by editing your devnz\gbpvr\config.xml and change <BDASubmitTuningRequestTwiceOnLivePreview> to "true". Use notepad to edit and not wordpad. Back up config.xml before editing. Also make sure you add firewall exceptions for the exes listed in the above link.

As soon as we can get sub the info he needs and he has time to implement it. I'm not trying to overload him or get him to prioritize it though. I figure as soon as he gets a DVB-T version he'll be doing it anyway.

What do you use? Also, where is the setting that tells the decoder the target resolution? Quote:Your channel changer is set correctly.

Ok, if my channel changer is set correctly, it's a mystery why it displays a black screen after attempting to change channels right now. Do you still have a HD Homerun? It seems like a great, flexible dual tuner solution.

drlava Wrote:Yes, I know the video is mpeg2, it was just the ffdshow was called mpeg4 it's this one:Ah, sorry, I didn't realize they were calling it MPEG-4. I personally use the Cyberlink decoders from PowerDVD8 and the Arcsoft decoders. drlava Wrote:Ok, if my channel changer is set correctly, it's a mystery why it displays a black screen after attempting to change channels right now. Do you still have a HD Homerun? It seems like a great, flexible dual tuner solution.It may be because of the resolution change not being handled properly by the decoder. I don't use ffdshow so unfortunately I can't tell you what settings to try. There is a thread on AVSforum related to ffdshow that may help or someone else here may know. You could try downloading the PDVD8 or installing the Total Media App that comes with the HDHomeRun and try their decoders.

Ok, I installed power dvd 8 and also arcsoft total media decoders and tried them. Both give similar results. None of the decoders can deocde the 1080i ATSC streams, but work fine with 720p streams. I tried ffdshow, mpeg deocder, arcsoft decoder, and powerdvd8 decoder.
below is a screen grab of VLC playing back a stream, you can see it's 1920x1088 (not 1080). If I play the stranded stream files in my temp directory with VLC, it can play them fine. http://hacylon.case.edu/vlcsnap-189103.png |
