i would love to see the season recordings and recording info in separate dumps, as it makes it really hard to separate afterwards,have to get an xml parser working,and hope it doesn't take a ton of code to do..
could easily import from another machine with a batch file if they're separate, as it is, it imports season recordings also...which is not usable..
plus for those just importing old dumps...not needing extra season info as it's old..

sure, i can edit the file but it makes scripting import very hard to do...
and just seems to make sense to separate them as they serve different purposes..

[and most people don't change season recordings daily, so wouldn't need multiples backed up for season recs.[tho not opposed to that]
and maybe put them into a 'backup' subdir for cleanliness..

any changes in this area for next release?
[before i muffle thru making a program to do it the hard way]

Hellow all!

Very new to GBPVR (1st mediacenter PC) but so far I've had very few issues!

One thing I've been looking for is a way to chage the colors for the program categories shown in the TV Guide. Some programs are shown in yellow and are very hard to read. :eek:

I'm using version 1.4.7 with the Weather2, Netflix Watch Now, and XMLT Ultra Enhancer plugins and MC2XML.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

are there any upsides/downsides?

which card would you recommend? oh I would need an external usb card !

I want dual tuners obviously.

A yellow failed recording notification will not go away on the Manage Recordings page of the EWA. I've confirmed the file is deleted via "my computer". I've tried multiple times to delete the item by pressing the red delete button. I've also opened and refreshed the web page on several computers. This was a manual recording to test my set up and I forgot to name the recording.

Thanks for your time!

Notes:
EWA build number 83

I am located in Adelaide, Australia with an HDHomerun DVB-T tuner and have difficulties getting any video on channel 11 (programs: ONE Digital, TEN Digital) and channel 12 (programs: ABC1, ABC2...).

I have tried all the tricks I could find on the forums and this is the status:
(0) All channels work fine in HDHomerun's own QuickTV player.
(1) GB-PVR: No audio&video for C11 and C12. All other channels work fine.
(2) Installed the config.exe patch from http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=350169 and rescanned => no improvement
(3) Used the repair utility from http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=44119 which fixed the audio but there is still no video showing.
(4) Installed ffdshow with all formats enabled => still no video.

I assume that although the utility at (3) helped fix the VideoPIDs there still must be something wrong with the tuning strings.

My current scan.cache is attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
skat

Hi.
I have strange problem with DVD playback under GB-PVR and i was not able to resolve it by myself for long time now.

What happend and how:

Basically, i can play all DVDs without any problem thanks for SAF and AnyDVD from original DVD/riped to ISO or folder on hardisk. The problem happend ond second (some time third and more) try to play DVD. By other words, i can start DVD then back to GB-PVR gui and start it again and now problem happend. If not, than back to GB-PVR and play it again...

What the problem is?
Well, DVD starts and continue to play normally, but GB-PVR somehow "freeze". It is no longer possible to controll it by remote, keyboard or mouse, even if GB-PVR runs in window mode, it is not possible to move with this window (but DVD playback continue normally). All i can do is kill GB-PVR by task manager. This problem only happend on DVDs.
I checked LOGs and i didnt found any problem here.

I tested multiple audio/video decoders, but without any difference.

Does anybody have any idea why this happening?

BTW, my HTPC is XP (VMR9 FSE renderer) based. I was trying to reproduce the problem on my Win7X64 (EVR renderer) but here seems to be working correctly...

Thanks.

I've been GBPVR for years now, but only for recording purposes.

There is one functionality I've been missing, and that is that I would like to record a whole season of a tv-show, and the problem is that the name of the show changes slightly from week to week. The main portion of the title remains the same, but the episode name is attached at the end, and therefore I have to program the recording every week.

Is there any new functionality in the later versions that can handle this?

When I need is to specify the part of the name that remains constant throughout the season, and that all programs with names that contain this text is then recorded.

I'm mainly using the web interface for recording, it is possible to make such a function available there?

I installed the last version of GBPVR in 2008, and I haven't bothered upgrading because it works so well. I will however consider upgrading if this functionality is available in one of the later releases.

Hi all. This is my first posting to these forums, so I hope I'm not overlooking any social conventions. My question is looking for a sort of bird's eye view, rather than a specific problem. That has made a search for an answer in the wiki and forums difficult, as I do not have any good keywords to home in on the missing concepts.

Having installed the current GB-PVR on a Windows XP machine, I've begun the process of exploring usage scenarios to tweak the system's settings. Live TV and Recording are working well, but I'm now focusing on the Video Library.

The Video Library will be substantially populated by DVD rips. I've started by putting that rip into a folder, named after the title of the film, in a VIDEO_TS folder. folder.jpg and MyMovies.xml has been chucked into the top level of that folder to flesh out the details screen. When I go to the Video Library, I see the folder, and the corresponding *.dvd pseudofile when I drill down into that folder. When the *.dvd is highlighted, I see the appropriate thumbnail and metadata displayed in the right-hand side of the screen.

What I would prefer to see, though, is the thumbnail and metadata when I have the top-level folder selected, and be able to "play" it there instead of having to drill down.

Can the default Video Library be configured to do that? Should I even be using the default plug-in? (That's the bird's eye view I would like from the experts.)

I would prefer to keep the install as close to "stock" as possible to simplify self-help support and installation issues, but also want the video navigation to be descriptive and obvious to use. I'll quickly add that there may be other video files just tossed into the videos folder, at the same level as the dvd rip folders, as well.

Thanks for any guidance you can offer.

I'm running WinXP, 950Q tuner, OTA reception, using MC2XML for my EPG, updating at 1AM.

I have WinXP setup to:
System standby in 3 mins, hibernates in 5 mins.


When I'm done using my PC at night it will hibernate w/o any problem.

When I wake up the next morning for work (5:30am), my PC is on. System logs show that it woke up at 1AM.

I don't have any shows set up to record. I don't see that the HD activity light is lit, don't see that anything was running.

Why doesn't my computer wake up, update the EPG, then hibernate again?

TIA,
Dave

Hello,

I am using a Chineese made USB based analog tuner / capture device. It has a RF input, CVBS, SVideo and Stereo Audio input. I need to add this to GB PVR application. I could not find a matching model for this device. I will be happy if anyone can help in this regard. Thanks.
