Hi,
I've noticed that I'm not getting IMDB ratings for my recently added films.

Has there been a recent change to IMDB that would cause this, or do I have a problem with my setup?

I'm using the latest versions of Moviewiz and the supporting DLL's.

On Friday (19Feb), two Thursday night shows (CSI, Survivor) had not been recorded. Recordings/Pending still had them listed to be recorded the previous day. I restarted the recording service and they dropped from pending to a failed recording.

Quick look at the logs show a gap between the 17th and 19th. Logs show the service stopped the 17th.

GBPVRRecordingService.exe-2.log shows
2010-02-17 18:40:22.578 INFO [4] GB-PVR Recording Service stopping

Looks like the recording service shutdown occurred about the same time as when I installed the big XP system update that started off with the C++ update. I saw a few posts about VISTA updates affecting the recording service, but nothing about this.

My system's Service Control Manager (computer management/system tools/event viewer/system) shows:
18:40:22 he GB-PVR Recording Service service was successfully sent a stop control.
18:40:24 The GB-PVR Recording Service service was successfully sent a start control.

What this expected?

This irremote file used to work in XP64 but doesnt work now in Win 7 x64 can someone tell me why? Attached

Please.

I upgraded from analog to digital cable and also from the Hauppauge PVR-350 to HVR-1600 tuner card. The new card works great, but the new *.ts files are too large to download compared to the old *.mpg files that were recorded at "Medium Quality".

What command I can use with "ffmpeg" or "ffmpeg_MPGMUX" to transcode the new *.ts files to the same (or similar) quality and filesize as what I used to get with analog TV recorded at the default "Medium Quality"?

(For reference, the default medium quality settings from GBPVR are: NTSC 720x480, Variable bit rate, Bit rate: 3500 kbps, Bit rate PEAK: 7200 kbps, Audio bit rate: 224, Audio sample rate: 48 KHz.)

I have been trying for weeks, but can't seem to figure it out.

P.S. Thanks sub, for GBPVR. A great project.

I have been trying to produce an alternative Music Library screen & I have come up with something that is getting near to what I want but I have run into a few problems, just so you can get an idea of what I am trying to do I have included a screen shot:

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

"CoverArt @previewImage" & "FilmstripSelectedPreview @previewImage" (for me?) return different results (views) for some AlbumArt(albumname.jpg) "CoverArt" doesn't display anything whereas "FilmstripSelectedPreview" displays the picture is this normal?

Because of this problem I decided to use both of them with "FilmstripSelectedPreview" rendering first & "CoverArt" rendering second so it just renders over the top of the first image if there is one & this is working very well.

Unfortunately this has forced me to have to use FilmStrip view for the skin & there doesn't seem to be key that allows you to move across a page at a time with it (a big problem when you have a music library as big as mine), so my request is either to allow PageUp & PageDown (or some buttons/keys) to scroll a page at a time and/or different views to be able to use @previewImage like ListSelectedPreview, DetailSelectedPreview, IconSelectedPreview, and/or have "CoverArt @previewImage" display all the images it does now as well as the images "FilmstripSelectedPreview @previewImage" displays.

The next problem may be a bug in "CoverArt @previewImage" as when I go into my Christmas directory which has a heap of songs with embedded art by different artists in it, it only displays the albumart for the first song I stop on & when I move on to any other song/artist it still shows the old albumart for the first song.

I am also seeing a fairly big (quite noticeable) delay with "CoverArt @previewImage" changing the description when I change songs & it is almost "painfully slow" on the NMT, I assume this isn't normal?

This is starting to turn into a wishlist message....sorry about that....but it would be nice to be able to use the changing library background images like the slick skin does but without having to have the horizontal MainMenu to get it to work.

I'm probably the last person to figure this out, but for the life of me I didn't know why I had all of these weird channels showing up when searching for shows to record, which were not even enabled. Finally I deleted those channels in the capture sources, and they disappeared from the recording options. Doesn't it make sense to only show programs available from channels which are enabled?

Edit: Yeah, I'm pretty dumb. As I've found out, the correct way to handle this is to use a .chl file in the EPG folder, so you just get the channels you tune.... DOH!

Does anyone know which scheduler GB-PVR uses to AUTO download the EPG from SchedulesDirect. What is the file name and where do I find it?
Thanks.

I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and GB-PVR has for some time been running fine.

I've recently been having some problems with GB-PVR. In trying to resolve them, I uninstalled GB-PVR (via Start | Control Panel | Programs and Features, then clicking on GB-PVR and confirming that I want to uninstall it. I deleted all the recordings from C:\temp. I then deleted C:\Devnz to make sure I'd gotten rid of everything, as I wanted a completely clean installation. Next I rebooted.

Using a fresh download of GBPVR10407.msi, I installed GB-PVR. I downloaded vcredist_x86.zip and from it ran vcredist_x86.exe.

Then I started GBPVRTray. Right-clicking on the GBPRVTray icon in the taskbar, I started PVRX2. Without first running the Config program, I went to Recordings and then moved over to the Pending Recordings. I was surprised to see four pending recordings. They were recordings I'd scheduled prior to the uninstalling of GB-PVR (the recordings didn't record and I couldn't delete the pending recordings). Once again, I couldn't delete the pending recordings.

There are some other oddities, but I thought my problems might be due to somehow having messed up some configuration information. That's why I deleted everything, including config.xml and gbpvr.db3 (I've got enough GB-PVR experience that reconfiguring from scratch isn't a significant problem).

As I immediately see the old pending recording information, I obviously have information stored somewhere other than C:\Devnz\GBPVR. Any suggestions as to where to look?

Just curious, before I do the move (win 7 RC 1 is about to expire...), all settings are stored locally in the same folder that gb-pvr was installed in correct?

There aren't any registry keys or some other hidden stuff I have to worry about, right?

Hi. This is my first post here so please bare with me.


I just downloaded GB-PVR, latest version 1.4.7 in W7n followed the pdf from the Wiki guide to configure my capture card. (thanks whurlston/systemshark) and subscribed to Schedules Direct and downloaded and mapped channels.

I have a Hauppaugge WinTV HVR-1850 (HVR-1800).

I can play net radio, watch video from my pc but when I click "Live TV" nothing happens.

I tried to follow the Wiki on "Playback" to make sure my HVR-1850 was configured but the screenshot from the wiki does not match my playback video - guessing its because the screenshot is from an older version. In the place where you select "Hardware Decoder Device" I have "Video Renderer" - What am I doing wrong?
