I'm using version 1.4.7 of GB-PVR with an ATI All-In-Wonder tuner card and Schedules Direct. Don't claim to be a genious but I've read several posts regarding how to do recurrent/series recordings to no avail. Could someone guide me to a post or tutorial where this is explained. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!!
Planning to add a HD-PVR to my setup soon, and have a couple of questions
1) New database. I've been using GB-PVR for 3+ years now and I think it's time for a new database. I have a few corrupt shows in there, and I don't mind if I end up re-recording a show I saw years ago. Do I just stop GB-PVR, remove the old database, and reboot?
2) Channel editing. I'm using Schedules Direct and see that they don't support 2 copies of the FIOS Digital Lineup. Therefore, in order to have the HD-PVR only record HD shows I will have to disable the SD channels for it in the capture source setup. There are hundreds of these channels. Any way to do this with a text editor? Pretty much every channel below 500 is SD, so I"m hoping a quick find-replace would do the trick
I've posted here a couple of times about live TV lockups. Different codecs haven't helped, but disabling Live Preview mode appears to have solved the problem.
Are there any disadvantages to turning off Live Preview?

so, there oviously was a 30 second timeout wait for a db lock, resulting in 30 missed seconds of scrubs
what could be the cause of this? the pc ran unattended at the time, so nothing should have been able to interfere with the db access.
I'm having trouble with PVRX2 crashing (return to main menu) when trying to view a show in timeshift mode (watch show while its still being recorded) on only one digital channel. After the show finishes recording I can view fine in PVRX2. All other digital and analog channels can be timeshifted with no problem. I've attached my logs after a crash. Thank you for your help.
Noticed another issue with my recent win7 fresh install, on my server if I'm watching live tv and a recording stops on another channel pvrx2 goes to a black screen and needs killing before it will function again.
I will try reordering my tuners to see if it could be tv card related, but I've attached logs in case there is anything obvious.>>Event happened around 20:04 on the 16th.
I've been using GB-PVR for several months now and it works very well. But sometimes it doesn't wake up for scheduled recordings. I've scheduled two succeeding recordings on last Sunday (2010-03-14), the first one on 22:40 and the second one on 23:55. Strangely only the second one was recorded (more precisely, as the second one aired just after the first, the first still got the last bit due to pre-show padding, as it was started when the PC resumed from hibernation for the second scheduled recording). What also irritates me is the log entry "Found new Pending recording needed wakeup request: Dexter (14.03.2010 23:55:00)". Shouldn't it be more something like "Found ... (14.03.2010 22:40:00)"? I've attached the logs. I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
