I just upgraded my system to windows 7 and I just installed the latest version of gbpvr. in my haste after the initial setup I downloaded a few plugins (burndvdX2, weather2 and cinema). I used the installer programs and checked config to make sure that the plugins showed and were checked (they were). However, when I started up gbpvr the plugins were not on the menu.
I am sure that I have just overlooked domething simple, but any help would be great!
I've been using GBPVR for some time now on a single pc. Now I want to move to a server/client setup. It will be a different computer running as the server and the current pc running gpbvr will be either retired alltogether, or perhaps used as a client somewhere else, like a spare bedroom. I'll need to install gbpvr on the server and transfer my recordings over to it. What is the best way of doing this so that my recordings stay in the Recordings menu? And is there any hope of retaining my current scheduled recordings? Thanks.
Hi, today the well planned digtal switchover somehow messed up BBC1 and 2 for people using winterhill. I have done loads of rescans, deleted my Kworld 300U, deleted the config and db3 files and I can not get GBPVR to find those channels (and yes - its the latest version).
I had decided the card was not capable of receiving the channels as I believe they have moved into the 8k range but, I've just installed Kworld's hypermedia centre software and it finds BBC1 and 2 with perfect reception.
So any ideas? Why can't the quite wonderful GBPVR find the channels whan clearly the card can recive them.
GBPVR was installed and working fine in Vista SP2. Upgraded to W7 (32) and GBPVR no longer works (sound breaks up and channel changing doesn't work). I would like to reinstall but would like to uninstall first. Problem is that GBPVR or DENZ is no listed in Control Panel\Programs. the Denz/gbpvr directory likewise does not contain an uninstall application. How do I proceed?
This weekend I upgraded to gbpvr 1.4.7 and upgraded to the most recent mvpmcx2 as well. Things seem to work fine except for skipping in videos. When I press one of the Skip keys, playback stops and it goes back to the Recordings Play, Delete, Close screen. The same when I key in a certain number of minutes to skip forward and then press skip. Any idea on what may have changed and how to get the gb-pvr preferred skip behavior back?
This may related. During the process I decided to switch to UNC file paths in my config.xml file too, recalling reading somewhere sometime ago that there were advantages to doing so - maybe performance related? I didn't search for those posts before upgrading... just did it. Is this what's causing the problem?
Since I now have some clear QAM channels (the locals), I think I'm ready to get a QAM card.
Is there a significant advantage to the MCE remote over the Hauppauge remote? (My existing Hauppauge remote works fine and I use it for several other apps as well as GBPVR.) I believe the MCE remote can wake up the HTPC from hibernate so that would be an advantage if possible.
Will the PVR-150 remote and IR receiver and blaster work with the non-MCE 1600? (I'm shopping on ebay and many seem to have these missing.)
Do I have to get a 1600 that is labeled QAM on the tuner module, or can any 1600 tune QAM with the latest drivers?
Is the tuner on the 1600 so inferior that I should get a 2250 instead? (Not a great solution since I don't have a free PCIe slot. -> new MB or get 780G graphics to work - gave up on that once already.)
Or just get a HDHomerun? Is there a significant network load recording two channels? I have the classic WRT54GL router, if that makes a difference.
I recently bought a WIN-TV CI module to be able to view encrypted channels. Work great!. I have only one minor problem. Whenever I start live-tv viewing I get a popup window as below. Does anybody now how to prevent this window, alternately how to hide it and keep PVRX2 in focus.
I know I can delete the configuration but I want something less drastic than scorched earth. I've tried disabling all the channels associated with one of my tuners and then updating the EPG.
This, you would think, would cause PVRX2 to not fire up this tuner when a recording is called for but PVRX2 still allocates programmes for recording to it - resulting of course in a blank, zero-length file. Any thoughts on how to achieve this?
I'm trying to add a KNC One TV-Station DVR to the direct.ini. But i cant figure it out.
This is what i have so far, but i get confused because it has an extra audiocapture device and no 656 pins. Can somebody please help me?

In response for the need to have the GB-PVR .exe Changer plug-in control a set-top box via a serial port IR Blaster from irblaster.info and WinLIRC, I wrote this script and then packaged it into an executable file for MS Windows. The script accepts a channel number or remote control command defined in an LIRC configuration file, gets other required info from a .conf file, and then splits digits into individual IR transmissions for the WinLIRC telnet server to process. The script has features such as a "100" button the might need to be pressed before 3-digit channels, an "enter" button that might need to be pressed after entering channel digits, a configurable button press delay, configurable ip address and port settings, logging, and debugging output. I've attached a .zip file containing the script, the .exe, a required configuration file, and a README; and they are all very thoroughly documented.
I don't expect to have much time to support further development of this script or answer support type questions, but the script is documented well enough to answer most questions and allow for easy modification. Please share this script, and make it better.
Thanks for the efforts of all those involved with GB-PVR. Take care.
