I realise this post may fall on deaf ears, and mine are bleeding, but that's not my biggest problem, it's my HAIR! Well actually the lack of it on top. Seems to be growing everywhere else, ears, nose, cheeks but what happened to my tofty top! I would provide pictures but that would be immoral, and disgusting.... I used to like my hair.... Am I the only one?

I spent a bit (lots & lots actually) of time over the weekend & have made some new index.htm scripts to automatically load GB-PVR from cold boot & to look more like the default blue skin views. The top image is what you see if you don't press "enter" the lower images are after pressing "enter" (they look different on the TV screen & have a green high light bar & no underlines)

I have been using this way to automatically load for almost a month now & I haven't had any problems with it at all & to top it off the WAF has grown heaps because of it

I feel these will probably be the ones I will post on the wiki but I would like a couple of testers first to make sure they are OK, comments & suggestions welcome.

Do NOT try this unless you have a fully working NMT setup already loading from a share.

Instructions:

Download index(x).zip (or index_sd(x).zip) unzip into your share folder (C:\mvpmc as default)

for HD TV download "index(x).zip" for SD TV use the "index_sd(x).zip"

Open GB-PVR.html in a linux editor do not use notepad.exe (if you don't already have one you can get one here http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html) & find this line

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/PVR-SERVER:mvpmc/gbpvr.cgi">GB-PVR</a>

take a note of the share name.... in this case PVR-SERVER:mvpmc ...(NOTE it is case sensitive) open index.htm (or index_sd.htm) in your editor & edit the references to the share (there are three of them, don't miss the one down near the bottom of the script) to be EXACTLY the same as it is in your GB-PVR.html.

Cold boot your NMT & manually select your share for the first time at the network browser screen as it needs to be your last used option for it to work automatically, it should them jump to the loading screen & after 3 seconds load GB-PVR. On the next cold boot of your NMT it should automatically load if you don't press any buttons. Please let me know how you get on.

Hi!

I've decided to make a fresh install of Windows XP right now after I failed to figure out what is making my video freeze for 10 seconds then video plays fast to catch up to audio.

If my HDPVR is recording then the Blue light will turn off and effectly kill the movie. The recordings menu shows it as still recording but it is not.

The computer ran nicely forever then I installed a western digital 1,5tb green drive and was able to record about 600 gigs on it before the video pause problem.

the movie timelines on new recordings from my pvr500 recordings are very weird showing a much shorter time and I though comskip may have been a problem with that but i downloaded the latest and same thing.

Does anyone here use a western digital green 1.5tb drive or any green drive and do you have problems with it?

It is important to note that I moved the recording dir to another drive and still had the problems...

There are no encodings running when this happens and I end up with 50 percent of complete recordings give or take.

Any idea?

Hello,

I have a problem with my PVR and it's kind of annoying: I can only watch one channel. I thought this problem was because I had the GBPVR and WinTV. I had the WinTV because I was experiencing problems (config issues) with it. I uninstalled the WinTV, but I'm getting the same problem. Thanks for your time with this issue

I just tried a Anysee E30 Plus with a smartcard on Vista x64. GBPVR could not detect the device despite the fact that the device is in the bda.ini, and it shows up in the device manager (anysee BDA Capture Device (2009.03.30, AD01060316,Vista,x64), it is possible to watch tv using MCE and Anysee´s own viewer. How is this possible?

How to make gbpvr detect the device? Any assitance is greatly appreciated!

I am thinking of upgrading my gbpvr pc to Windows 7 next week. I will probably just do the upgrade and not the clean install(so as not to have to reinstall all of my software packages). I have the latest version of gbpvr loaded on my machine. I was wondering if anybody who has tried out the new operating system could share with me what problems they had or any suggestions relating to gbpvr. Thanks for any help!

In preperation for the next version of the Community Skin and SkinPlugin I've created a wishlist thread in the CS sub-forum.

Feel free to post your wishes and suggestions.

What data can I provide to debug my DVD playback issues? It seems every version of GB-PVR breaks my previously working DVD playback. I have tried many DVD decoder configurations, but nothing works -- 300 movie DVD starts playing but then locks up immediately.

I uninstalled all of the video codecs I was using and installed this SAF thing and PowerDVD9. The DVD plays back using PowerDVD9 and KMPlayer.

I'm a seasoned HTPC user but a GBPVR NOOB. I've gotten GBPVR configured and running with Comcast Digital cable using a HDHR. Here's the details on my setup:

HTPC/server is connected via DVI/HDMI cable to a HDTV, coax dig audio cable to DD5.1 receiver - Pentium 4 2GB RAM Win XP MCE SP3

Popcornhour A100 with internal hdd connected to a HDTV, stereo audio only. A100 cabled to HDTV via component video and analog stereo audio cables. Video out set to 720P

HDHR tuning clear QAM comcast digital cable

I followed the Wiki and installed using CSI to disk and also on the HTPC.

I've found some forum posts and have been trying to modify the gbpvr.cgi file located in C:/mvpmc appropriately. No love thus far.

I assume that this folder comes into play when I lauch gbpvr thru the network browser and not when I launch via web service for the PCH hdd install. Is this correct?

Are there advantages to the CSI hdd install over the other, easier to launch, quicker interface? If the hdd install is better, this is the one I ultimately want to get configured properly.

The HTPC has 6 hard drives. Three drives are dedicated to DVD rips and each ISO file is located in its own folder on the root of the drive. If I cannot mount the root on the NMT, perhaps I need to move these subfolders off the root and into containing folder with descriptive name such as "Kids_Movies"

One of the drives containing DVD ISOs already has subfolders. I'm initially trying to get the ISOs located in individual subfolders in I:\MOM+DAD to play on the NMT.

original gbpvr.cgi file:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 29";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";

cd ~
if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]
then
echo "mvmcx2 is loaded";
else
mkdir /etc/mvpmc
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.5/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=root,rw
cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin
ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123
utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
fi
killall gaya
sh -c /etc/mvpmc/startmeup 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &
exit 0;

modified file (doesn't work):
#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 29";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";

cd ~
if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]

echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
fi
killall gaya
sh -c /etc/mvpmc/startmeup 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &
exit 0;

Any insight on what is wrong. I not sure how to Telnet, test or verify the script.

Thanks!
