Had this problem in the previous version as well. I thought maybe it was a hardware issue. I had one Hauppauge PVR-350 card and 2 HVR-1600 cards. Every so often (totally randomly, could be days, could be weeks) the system would "lose" 2 of the 3 cards and I'd only be able to record 1 thing at a time (and in the process missing my recordings, obviously). The cards are still there in windows device manager (btw this is XP Pro SP3). I decided maybe the old 350 card was the problem, so I picked up 2 HVR-1800's and also took 1 1600 out (current system 1 1600 2 1800's). Also upgraded the hard drive and decided to completely re-load XP to see if something was corrupted in windows. That was a week or two ago, and tonight I notice recordings from last night got missed! Same problem! Only 1 card working, once again. This is getting VERY VERY VERY frustrating and I don't know where else to ask for help but here. Please let me know if I need to post whatever logs or if anyone has any ideas, thanks.

Here is another odd issue.
Selected a show from the guide, selected 'quick record', and the status showed it was recording.
About 5 mins later, I noticed the filesize was still 0 in length, but it still showed it as recording.
I pull up the guide again, and selected 'cancel', then 'quick record' again, and this time it worked.

Logs don't show any obvious errors, but, I was thinking isn't it possible for gbpvr to monitor/show the amount of bytes written so far, and if that is 0, to retry to record again?
Speaking of status, as I mentioned, it would be nice if you can show bytes written, and the current size of the source (1280x720 or whatever), and perhaps audio specs as well?

GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log shows no obvious errors.
The show I was testing was Entertainment Tonight...

I just thoght I would pass this on as it may help some others out there.

Ever since I got my M34a I have been having trouble with the remote if I am not 'directly' in line with the NMT & it was even worse using the Hauppauge remote.

When I got my refurbished A100 the remote wouldn't work at all but after taking the top off & gently pushing the sensor/receiver forward it started working & I thought it may have a bad solder joint & didn't think much more than that.

Finally last night I got fed up with the M34a & took the case off to discover the receiver was sitting on an angle of about 30 degrees backwards (away from the front) so I gently pushed it forward until it was on an angle of approx 5 to 10 degrees forward (almost touching the front plastic cover) held my breath & tried it out & what a difference!! I can now have the remote pointing heaps away from the NMT & it still receives the signal fine....why didn't I do it ages ago?....I also did the same thing to the A100 with an almost as good result.

Hi
I have been running GBPVR for about 2 years (v1.1.5). Everything was going great until there was the digital switchover earlier this year (I live in South Wales UK). Now whenever I access BBC1 it shows SKY news. I have tried remapping but it just seems to revert as soon as I come out of the configuration console and update the EPG. I seem to be overwhelmed by the technicality of this product - I'm well out of my depth and don't even know how I got it working in the first place!!!!J
Even when I go into Tuning Assistant and select my card (Hauppage PVR350) it seems to default to Argentina - when I try and select any Hauppage card therein it says "failed to find crossbar filter"
Thanks in hopefull anticipation

Just checked in device manager and apparently it's a Hauppauge Nova-DT Dual DVB-T tuner

I wanted some opinions on running this script to make my system more reliable. As I mentioned in these posts I have a (non GBPVR) issue with my setup somewhere that causes it to occasionally not record programs:

In an effort to make the system more reliable I am going to try having the computer run this script at every resume from S3:

I just uploaded some photos for a contest and cross posted to the AV Science Forums in the Definitive Tech Owners thread. I chose GBPVR to represent the onscreen image b/c it looks really nice in a static shot and is certainly worthy of the publicity. Hopefully it gets published!

Hi
I just went from MediaPortal to gbpvr.
Looks pretty good and stable. But I had to go back to MP because I didn't get any subtitles on live tv.
I checked everything and went through this forum.

when can we expect dvb subtitles ??

I have been using xmltv NZ untill it seems to have failed a few weeks ago and i havent been able to fix it. Never mind - ill just use broadcast listings. I set this up and scanned for update. I get the listings ok but only for the next 2 hours (TV1,2,3) I have rescanned all channels and they are appropriately mapped (on both tuners). Has anybody else had this problem??

Incidentally I have installed the latest version of GBPVR and tried to insert geekzone URL in xml settings - the browser drew a blank on the URL hence i am now trying broadcast program guide. Using win xp

I am not sure what I have done wrong but with a digistar 103 ( conexant cx23880 ) chipset I can get all digital channels from satelite but if I select a new capture device and set to analog - conexant Blackbird ( as shown when set to show devices in this computer ) set to capture device 1, and composite external tuner save and add channel then save that part I will get a new channel showing up in channels list so I think that part is right
I save that and GB-PVR restarts as normal for any changes there but when I goto PVRX2 I still get my normal channels if I select press 0 ( as I configured it to that number ) it does not change to that input source

Any Ideas ?

Cheers

Hello
I am a longtime GBPVR and Media MVP User. I have three Media MVPs in my home hooking up to one central GBPVR server.

I have been looking at devices which can leverage the Playon TV service for Hulu and Netflix support. In doing so I came across the Popcorn players as pretty much teh only option which might support both GBPVR and playon . ( I don;t wnat toahve to have double sets of these network devices at each TV location...)

I am curious how seamless it is to be able to flip back and forth bewteen the GBPVR front-end application and the regular inteferface that supports the upnp playon service? ( something my wife could do via the remote?)

I am also curious if a house network with mixed Media MVPs and Popcorn unnits could coexist easily

many thanks for all your time and expertise!!!
