I have tried to solve this problem in a couple of ways, but I havn't found a reliable solution yet.
Problem is that the search functionality on thetvdb could have been better.
Example: I have downloaded the Castle show. But when wizmetadatagrabber do a search I get data from an old show about different castles around Britain(?). The problem originates in the fact that the files is named as: castle.2009.S01E01.yadayada.avi. Usually I use the Command-line tool, but if I search manually, I can rename the title to: Castle.(2009)... and voÃla I get correct info.
I have tried to create some script that renames the files automatically. but I have not found one that can handle the "()" (or something).
Is there someone that knows how to create a script that can handle renaming like this? Python, perl or dos. And that I can use for other files as well.
Or: maybe a xml-file that wizmetadatagrabber reads and use for the search (the renaming of files is just to get correct data, anyway)
the xml-file could have either the correct name or the tvdb show Id (83462 for Castle). Roughly like the language translation xml...
No real need for a UI to edit this.
Hi,
I have the 'ATI Mpeg video decoder' installed and selected and it works well for playback of video files and live tv, but when i try to select it (in the config utility) for DVD playback it isn't on the list.
Is there a reason for this?
thanks
After a good two years I was watching my recordings from the UK and seeing all these adverts to say freeview needs rescanning so I thought it might give me better reception / quality if I re-tune.
Anyway the long and the short of it is, when I go into the channels which have up to now rescanned fine I got the message "Failed to locate BDA device".

What is odd is that my Nova-T USB shows up fine, the settings are there from when it did work still. [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
What I have tried is updating to the latest version (1.4.7), updating the runtime, updating the drivers and the WinTV. It works and scans fine in WINTV, loads first time but seems to be having an issue in GBPVR. I''m not aware that it's failing in the recordings yet but would like to find out what's causing it as I fear it means errors soon.
If it helps it did the same thing in the previous version too.
I've attached logs and screenshots
Thanks in advance!!

p.s. I have PVRX2.exe-native-2 and PVRX2.exe-native-3 which are about 750meg each. let me know if you need info from them as I can't u
How do you config the record bitrate for the HDPVR? GBPVR seems to be using a lower bit rate than what I using when recording with TME. I think I would like to raise it a little to improve the recording quality.
Hi, I recently bought a Hauppauge TD-500, so decided to try some third-party software as WinTV seemed very slow.
So I have installed the latest release and followed the guide for DVB Tuner setup. I completed the configuration successfully and saw that the scan had picked up a decent number of channels. Something didn't seem right when I updated the EPG though; the guide stated that it may take a while, but it took merely a few seconds and then closed. I didn't see any EPG data and didn't see a list of channels.
My problem is that in the PVRX2 program I am unable to click on TV Guide or Live TV. All other functions seems to work (settings etc).
I ran pvrx2.exe -updateepgonly. The log is attached.
I have to admit I was a little shocked at how easy this was to setup. I had a bit of an issue with it not being shipped with any apps on it. But the recent update on 10/19 fixed that.
Now everything appears to be working.
I do have one question though. My TV is a older Sony CRT that supports HD, but is a 4:3 format. I originally configured everything for 720p, to change that to NTSC is it going to be just a matter of changing the PCH format, uncomment the rigth line in the startmeup file, and modify the NMT entry in the config.xml?
