JavaWiz
I've been having a few problems with Moviewiz recently. I understand from other posts that you're busy at the moment, and I'm not requesting a quick fix for these issues, but it would be fantastic if you could look into them when you have the time.

The biggest problem is with titles not being recognized despite the filenames being exact matches for the name on IMDB. Often Moviewiz will return some obscure short film, or series with the same or similar title despite the year being different. In almost every case, when clicking on 'Find Alternatives', the correct result is the first on the list.

Here's some examples of exact filenames, minus extensions, so hopefully you can reproduce the problem:

In the Loop (2009)
No Country For Old Men (2009)
Sate of Play (2009)
This is England (2006)
Back to the Future (1985)
Rise of the Footsoldier (2007)

The second issue is with image lookups from themoviedb.org. I'm getting a lot of backdrops returned, rather than posters. Backdrops are better than no image, but I think they should be last resort, and posters are available from themoviedb, and always come above backdrops on the list when performing a manual lookup.

Hello,
I am new to gbpvr and came across it while trying to find a product to install on my whs ex495 that will simply record my tv shows.

I don't know much about gbpvr yet but what I am looking for is a web EPG that will allow me to setup a TV recording. Is there anything out there like this?

Also, i would need to have gbpvr setup on my whs machine. I am not going to use this machine to view the programs just record and then host them. Is this possible and how would one set that up?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I just set up my Hauppauge HVR 900H and although I can scan channels and they work perfectly in the "digital channel mapping" screen, pvrx2 refuses to show any channels saying there is no signal?!

Any thoughts?

I've been using a linux machine as a router for years. Recently I noticed that download speeds were 4x slower on Windows 7 clients compared to XP clients. I shutdown the linux machine and reconfigured my network the to use the router functionality in my IP phone ATA instead. Now my Windows 7 machines are as fast as the XP machines.

My assumption was that my old linux distribution couldn't handle IPV6 so I disabled it on the Windows 7 systems but that had no effect. I also tried to turn off Windows 7 tcp autotuning also without any effect.

I can see that many commercial routers have had firmware updates to make them Windows 7 compatible. I'm curious what changes were made to the embedded linux config to become Windows 7 compatible?

Considering I no longer have needs for a blazingly fast router, I may just retire the linux box permanently and keep my current config. I am curious to know what Windows 7 packets have that was causing a 4x slowdown.

Hi,

My MVP, after a period of sitting on the shelf, now when its powered and connected to the network, just says "Checking Ethernet Connectivity" and thats it, nothing more.

I've plugged it directly into the router the Media Centre is plugged into, and the router can not see the MAC address of the MVP.

Question: Is the MVP toast?

Thanks

Matt

Edit: Its a wired MVP

I am in process of trying to get GBPVR to work with Verizon FIOS, recording local broadcast channels via ClearQAM with Hauppauge 1600 and 2250 capture cards. I just went through a complete channel scan for each of the capture cards and mapped the channels this morning.

I can play back the programs I record (both sound and video are OK) on the PC where GBPVR runs. If I try to play the recorded programs on another set using an EGreat to drive the TV, I get either picture and no sound or sometimes the screen just goes black with no sound. At times when the screen goes black I notice that the PC is downloading to the EGreat at only about 1Mbps while if it is downloading a program that can be seen on the EGreat TV it downloads at approximately 15Mbps. All recordings can ve viewed on the PC that recorded them.

To add to the confusion, I can record a program on a channel and then view it via GBPVR on the same PC that GBPVR is running on. If I try to watch the station (live, not a recording) inside GBPVR I get the following screen.

This is driving me nuts. Can anyone help me?

When attempting to use the Community-WS skin I get the following error:

[SIZE="1"]2010-05-17 10:53:34.872 WARNING [1] requested skin file not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Devnz\GBPVR\skin2\Community-WS\TV Recordings\mmc.xml[/SIZE]

Where can I get the missing xml file?

I'm sure I'm using the wrong terminology here. I'm new to the world of QAM and Channel Mapping.

I have found that when I do a Channel Scan, the results include two general types of channels: those that end with (000) and those that end with (AC3). The only ones that seem to map to EPG stations are those ending with (000). It would be very helpful if we could filter the results list to show only the (000) channels. This would reduce considerably the number of channels we have to scroll through when mapping.

For some reason, all the channles on the Optus D1 12456H transponder (TV3, TV4, Prime, etc.) have glitchy sound. All channels on the 12483H transponder (TV1, TV2, TVNZ 6 & 7 etc.) are absolutely fine.

This has only really been a problem since I upgraded to Windows 7. Not sure what could be different between the two transponders. I'm getting good signal & quality from both.

What could possibly be causing this? I have tried different audio codecs and BDA multiplexers with the exact same results.

Hi

Just started using GBPVR a week or so ago with a WinXP box (SP3 on Core 3 Duo E6850 at 3 GB, 3GB ram).

The card is a USB TVR900H. Using it mainly to record Freeview.

So far I really like the program!

Recording works file if account stays logged in (or off). However, on logoff writing to disk stops. When logging in again, GBPVR reports recording is still taking place, but no more is written to disk. I have searched the forums and web and cannot find an answer.

Any ideas?

Cheers, Ken
