I like to record directly to my NAS which usually works pretty good. However when the computer wakes up from sleep mode it does not have enough time to reconnect the network drives before the recording begins. So the question is: Can i make GB-PVR wake up a minute or two before it actually starts recording anything ?
Has anyone been looking closer at the Asus O!Play HDP-R1 mediaplayer? It has some rather impressive specs. considering the price:

After happily using GBPVR with MDAPIfilter and Acamd for six months I now face a problem I hope someone can help me (and maybe others) to solve. I ran the NMTInstall program in order to interface GBPVR from a PopcornHour A-110, this works fine for me as well as running GBPVR on the PC after the installation.
However, MDAPIfilter stopped to work for me. When I ran NMTInstall.exe I was stupid enough to let the program reinstall GBPVR as well :-( If I remember correctly I had the same version before as now (1.4.7)
I now face these two problems:
1) MDAPIfilter needs to be manually registered on the command line to run (regsvr32 /s mdapifilter.ax), it then works only one time in GBPVR, then I need to manually stop the recording service, register, and restart to get it to start.
2) MDAPIfilter newer starts ACamd. The only log entries in the MDAPIfilter.log are:
...[INFO] [MAIN] CMDAPIFilter:llMain->DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH
...[INFO] [MAIN] CMDAPIFilter:llMain() MDAPIFilter being used by GBPVR
...[INFO] [MAIN] DllRegisterServer()
...[WARN] [MAIN] CMDAPIFilter:llMain->DLL_PROCESS_DETACH by FreeLibrary call.
I have 3 of these cards in my PC and I have inserted this entry in the
bda.ini file
[DNTV Hybrid LP S2]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER="713x BDA DVBT Tuner"
FILTER_CAPTURE="713x BDA Digital Capture"
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
Unfortunately my scan does not seem to find any channels.
Does anybody have any suggestions ?
Log files and filtercheck.log (zipped) attached.
I have another of these cards at home, and I will try there also, and
see how I go.

The guys at Silicondust have done it again. With the release of the 20100120beta1 drivers, they have added TVCT and CVCT injection into the streams. This means that QAM users will now get the channel names when scanning with the HDHomeRun whether their cable provider has it or not. You need to have run the HDHomeRun channel mapping in the HDHomeRun Setup for it to work.
To enable the feature, run HDHomeRun setup and click the Advanced tab. Under "BDA Driver", select "Inject CVCT". OTA users or users running in ATSC Remap mode would select "TVCT" although I see no reason to do this for OTA.
Unfortunately, it still does not solve the crash while scanning issue.
I was using Windows Media Center (Windows 7) with my Hauppauge PVR2-USB, but I want to switch to GBPVR 1.4.7 for the following reasons: the GBPVR image quality is much better, I can get all the available channels and the recordings take up half as much space as WMC.
However the volume is way too low. To have an adequate volume, I have to raise the main volume of the computer, and then everything else is too loud.
Everytime I map an additional channel in the config/capture sources tab, all epg channels are duplicated and added to the list of channels when the xlmtv.xml is updated. The result is a big mess, and the only way I've been able to fix it is to empty the epg in capture sources and start over again. It gets tiresome, since I have to map each one manually.
In effect, I can't edit the channel mapping. I can only start over each time I want to map and enable a channel that is already included, but not mapped or enabled in the channel list. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm wondering if there is any solutions out there. I have GBPVR running on a puter perfectly. Unfortunatly it is connected to the home network wirelessly. I'm trying to install GBPVR clients on other computers in the house. Everything works great except I can't seem to get live tv to play on the clients.
Screen goes black for a few seconds (maybe 20 secs) then returns to the main menu.
I read the wiki and there is mention that wireless may not work, but some people have had success. I've tried everything I can think of.
I'm having trouble getting correct subtitles on all channels that transmits DVB-subtitles. Viewing the shows live gives me norwegian subtitles, but playing back a recording gives me finnish subtitles (that I don't understand an inch of). Timeshift (ie. pause/play) however gives me no subtitles at all. An example can be found at my ftp site (ftp://orion.servebeer.com - log in as anonymous and leave your email address as password, download at will), the folder "Titanics Tragic Sister" containg a typical example from History channel HD. Another problem is that National Geog. HD gives me danish subtitles (that I can understand, but nevertheless annoying), example: "PÃ¥ leting etter Noas syndeflod".
For those channels that transmits subtitles using teletext it works fine, provided one can find out what pagenumber to use... Since all that information is in the stream I suggest Config app (more specific the "Map digital channels" function) should find the pagenumber that corresponds to the language set as prefered subtitle-language and insert this number automatically.
Hi, I reinstalled my box a couple of months ago (XP SP3) and did a clean install of gbpvr. I can't recall the details but I think I basically exported my old database and imported into the new setup to retain all my recordings. Other than that it should be a 'clean' setup.
Anyway, I've had trouble getting video codes to run smoothly - it took me a lot of fiddling to get right last time and I'm sure it was simply solved when I installed powerdvd. So I've now installed powerdvd8 on my new box, but it doesn't appear under 'video decoder' or 'H.264 decoder' in the gbpvr setup. I tried pdvd9 and same problem. I came across this 'SAF codecs pack' and not much luck there....
At one stage I did see a pdvd mpeg2 codec listed but (I've tried so many different things that I can't recall what combo of setups enabled that), but at this time there was no corresponding pdvd codec under the H.264 codec settings... and the H.264 codec is the one that I need, surely. (Using an HVR2200, DVB-T freeview in NZ.)
Basically, any ideas or tips on what I might be doing wrong?
