In preparation for the next release of mpvmcx2 I thought I'd explain how the KeyMapping functionality can be configured.

I. mvpmcx2.ini format

The functionality is enabled with a file called mvpmcx2.ini that can optionally stored in the mvpmc share or with mvpmcx2 if you are running via CSI

The Format of the mvpmcx2.ini is a follows

[MAC]
Key=Function

MAC is the real MAC address you want to change the default functionality. If you want to change the default for more than one NMT you can use [RemoteMap] as a global name.

Key is the the NMT Key you are remapping, Function is the GBPVR function key you would like to action on the press

II. Keys
Valid mappable keys are Source, Title, Menu, Return, Audio, Subtitle, Angle, TVMode, PageUp, PageDown, Home, Repeat, Setup, Delete, TimeSeek, and Slow

You can also define Ctrl0 - Ctrl9 These keys requre two keys Eject 0 Eject 1 Eject 2 etc. By default

Ctrl1 is VideoLibrary
Ctrl2 is LiveTV
Ctrl3 is Pictures (which some people make to recordings in config.xml)

III. Functions

The Hauppauge functions keys are Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Guide, TV, Pictures, Videos, Music, Back, Menu, VolumeUp,VolumeDown, ChannelUp, ChannelDown, Record, PrevChannel

These are also available for future growth but they aren't used by GBPVR Star, Subtitle, Blank, Full

IV. Examples

This file will change the default behaviour for PageUp and PageDown to control volume

Hi All

I have a basic question about GBPVR and PCH that I need to understand B4 i look into this as an option.

To get PCH to work with GBPVR we must install MVPMCX2 onto the PCH machine.

Does this replace or supplement the UI of the PCH?

For Example - would the standard menu be there still and then GBPVR a menu item that is activated upon selection?

I really like the PCH for all no PVR media related activities - but GBPVR of course rocks for PVR.

Also - is there away to get PCH to work with GBPVR without MVPMCX2? Or would this be limited to recorded video only and not live TV?

I really like the look of the new A200 for a bedroom device (I understand that MVPMCX2 doe not work with it yet - but I need to get a feel for how this all works before I work out a direction I take.)

VideoReDo has just released TVSuite 4 with H.264 support. I've worked with it over the last 5 weeks or so as it reached it's final testing and have been impressed with it. I've used Showanalyzer for many of my files but have always kept VRD around and now that it can work with H.264, saving my larger files has just gotten easier.
I think you can use if for a 15 day trial if anyone is interested (I don't work for any software company). I've also found their forum to be very helpful as well.

Personally I move files between my PVR and Home Server a bit. So the playback position, which stores the full path and filename of the file contains a lot of duplicates.

Just thought it would be nice if the playback position lookup was on the filename only rather than the full path.

Greetings everyone,

I have been successfully using GBPVR 1.3.11 for about a year now - until the past few weeks I have had no issues.

Comcast analog cable in Pennsylvania, USA.

System: Windows XP, AMD 4850e / 780G Foxconn board / dual Hauppauge PVR 150's. ATI MPEG video decoder, AC3 audio decoder. video decoder is from the install a year ago and has not been updated. AC3 was installed today as an attempt to "fix" the problem. Used to use Intervideo non CSS audio decoder

Recently some of my recordings have had no sound. Also notices some Live TV programs have no sound. I have played the raw files back in Windows Media Player and still have no sound.

Actaully uninstalled GBPVR tonight and reinstalled 1.3.11 - no change in status (kept original config and recordings-dump.xml's)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?!

I picked up a HD PVR at a good Boxing Day price ($160) and it finally is getting delivered next week. One of the things I like about MythTV is remote tuners and I'd like to see the HD PVR used as a network tuner. I thought that this wasn't possible on GBPVR but the I read about DVBLink and I see they mention GBPVR. Does anyone have experience with it, the homepage is here http://dvblogic.com/

Edit the thumb up was by accident, but i can't change it.

Hi,

I've used the EWA (build 81) for some time to schedule recordings on my GBPVR server from other PCs on my network. I also access the EWA remotely when away from home (via the internet).

When I'm on my local network, I'm not prompted for a user/password but when I'm remote, I have to enter the User & password I entered in the GBPVR config page. ok so far

I prefer to use Guide2 which works fine when I'm on the local LAN but refuses to let me log-in when I'm remote.

To be precise, If I use guide.aspx in the URL during remote access, I get prompted for user & password and when entered, I get the normal 1st EWA listings page.
If I use guide2.aspx, I get prompted for the user & password but when I enter them, I get an error saying I've entered an invalid User or password and the page resets to the login page.

Should I be able to log-in via guide2.aspx remotely?

Hi,
Suddenly my Programs in EPG are scheduled on the next day.
What am i doing wrong?
I'm using XMLTV to update EPG.

Thanks,
EddiCamaro.

I have 2 cable boxes I want to use. One has RCA outputs, and one only has Coax channel 3/4 output.

Can I set up my Hauppauge 500 to use these 2 boxes? If so, how?

Currently I only have 1 capture source set. It's for the Haup 500, Capture Device #1, Fixed Channel External tuner, tuning Cable, channel 4.

I might try other board numbers. Because I have a Haup 150, but I haven't connected it to anything yet. (That'll be later.)

using xp with sp3. comcast cable in california. cannot get gb to complete scan of channels when trying to map. always freezes at 541250.0. i've turned off firewall etc. any suggestions would be appreciated. logs are attached.
