new wiki is looking practical, therefore in 7 days the pointers in top of left hand nav of old wiki where it says NPVR will now point to new wiki here:

http://www.gbpvr.com/nwiki/

This is one for authors of skins and plugins, I think pretty much everyone has moved their bits there, if not now is the time Big Grin

probably against my better judgement, after a query on another thread about comparisons between GB-PVR and N-PVR I did this:

http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/GB-PV...ersusN-PVR

it really doesn't matter as this is not a published page on the wiki, hidden away!

Is it worth pursuing? I can't fill in any gaps because I do not know much :eek:

I do realise that N-PVR is still in beta but I think a load of people wouldn't mind knowing which one to play with?

The one field I've felt I left out was capture devices and format recording, but I got tired!

No response is good, means bad idea of mine, do not pursue!

Warm wishes

please may I first make this comment, which is not to drift off topic for this thread Big Grin

I always knew from the release of 'N-PVR' that anyone taking up the idea for creating a wiki for it would be up for some question and answers sessions, and I am! But be gentle..... unless you are going to help create a new wiki from scratch, in which case just say 'that's my job' 'f***' off and quite honestly I might!

Please do not EVEN bother responding unless you've spent your time looking at the other threads in documentation etc about a new wiki.... (and I do know that I'm a bit rubbish myself for looking through threads sometimes, sorry Martin!)
  • I would suggest keeping with pmwiki as the wiki engine, but upgrading it to the latest engine, and perhaps with a few more recipes to enhance it even better?
  • I would suggest that at least 4 of us (no more than 6) were enabled as admin to grant wiki publication rights to those that wished to publish to the wiki. (Should anyone get bored of this job they could pass on the mantle to those they thought could carry this on) And please read this correctly, this is admin, we used to ask blader for publication access anyway.
  • The list of 'Link Navs' would be locked by admin and only decided by admin with consultation to enhance the wiki nav experience, in the past the fact that navigation links could be added by anyone I think helped to make the wiki a little more confusing than it should have been.

This is just the start of my enquiry, should I hit a brick wall, just reply, 'Brick Wall'!

My suggestion is to get this running on my local web dev server and when the time is right upload to sub's server with whatever URL N-PVR wiki will end up with. So like the beta play with N-PVR, this is beta play with wiki........

I was wondering if there is any documentation on the meaning of these field values or do I just have to reverse engineer their meanings?

I treied to poist this in the Developers' Forum but wasn't able to post a new thread there so I picked this forum (although I know it is primarily for User Documentation) as the 2nd most approprite place to post.]]>

Currently wiki has been tweaked to give collapsible menu items from left nav bar. Homepage and Manual Contents have remained as a list.

Leave or also collapse?

Also anyone's view on current gbpvr logo top left?

http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manual/Glossary

It is now 'live' in as much as it is listed in main index under manual with a link to glossary.

I worked out that with the missing entries if we could fill a letter a day that would take us up until Christmas Eve. Then I could relax on the 25th.

I know that most don't bother with documentation threads but in Christmas spirit! Anyone?

All charity knowledge and word donations most warmly welcome with a virtual mince pie.

We're starting with C for Christmas:

Missing entries:

CAM - Conditional Access Module {more info needed?}. Also see SoftCAM.
Capture Card - {more info needed?}
CI - Common Interface {more info needed?}

Please fill in the C's? Just post it, PM it, I'll put it in unless you want to tweak Wiki yourself!

Cheers

Three Guides are currently available :-

  1. Initial Setup Guide for DVB / Freeview Cards using GBPVR 1.4.7
  2. Initial Setup Guide for Analogue TV using GBPVR 1.4.7
  3. Initial Setup Guide - ATSC and QAM Tuner for GBPVR 1.4.7

SystemShark's Edits :-

Updated documents 1&2 with correct screenshot.

Whurlston's Comments :-

I did not address muxes, etc. because they are subjective. There are different reasons for using different muxes (and should be covered in a different document). The initial tuner configuration and mapping is the same for all users (with the possible exception of HDHomeRun users).]]>

These are manual setup instructions. For automatic configuration of decoders, you can download and install Hoborg's SAF Codec Pack for GB-PVR. You then just need AnyDVD HD and if relevant, ffDShow bitstream branch.

Prerequisites:
Additional Bitstreaming Prerequisites:
MPEG Demuxers (that will expose HD audio streams)
Additional Tools:
  • Monogram GraphStudio - This a tool similiar to GraphEdit that includes the ability to set filter merits. Alternatively you can use GraphEdit and a filter manager like Radlight.

Changing filter merits and properties:
  • Open GraphStudio.
  • Select "Graph" -> "Insert Filter..."
  • Select the filter on the left.
  • Select "Property Page" or "Change Merit" on the right.
Configuring the Demux:
  • Set the merit for your preferred MPEG demux to "0x00800000 (MERIT_PREFERRED)".

Configuring ffDShow
  • Enable the following codecs and set the decoder to "libavcodec" (you can use libdts for the DTS setting if you like). All others can be disabled if you do not want to use ffDShow for anything other than HD audio decoding.
    • AC3
    • E-AC3
    • MLP
    • DTS
  • If you prefer to use another decoder for everything else, just set the merit on your preferred decoder to higher than the ffDShow default of "0x3fffffff"
  • For bitstreaming, select all passthrough formats and 16/24 bit in the "Output" configuration section of ffdshow. If bitstreaming is not possible, it will automatically revert to decoding mode.

Issues with Haali Media Splitter:
  • If you have the Haali media splitter installed, it will autoload when trying to play m2ts files. To resolve this, delete the following registry key:
    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Media Type\Extensions\.m2ts

Testing the configuration:
  • Start a new blank graph in GraphStudio.
  • Select "Graph" -> "Insert Video Renderer"
  • Choose the renderer that you have configured in GB-PVR.
  • Select "File" -> "Render Media File..."
  • Choose an m2ts/evo file.
  • The graph should completely render and play with the following filters:
    • FileSource (Async)
    • "ArcSoft MPEG Demux" or "MPC - Mpeg Splitter (Gabest)"
    • ffDShow Audio Decoder
    • [an appropriate video decoder]
    • [video renderer]
    • [audio renderer]
  • If it loads different decoders, you may need to play with the filter merits.

Setting up MPC-HC Splitter:
  • Save the following to a text file named "MPCSource.reg" and import it into the registry. This will allow for seamless playback of titles where the movie consists of more than one m2ts file.
  • Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Media Type\Extensions\.m2ts]
    "Source Filter"="{1365BE7A-C86A-473C-9A41-C0A6E82C9FA3}"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Media Type\Extensions\.mpls]
