Hello,

I am getting this error when I try to install the latest version:

"This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package."

I downloaded it in Firefox and in IE and I'm getting the same error in both. I'm thinking that it's because I'm running W7 RC, I'm going to try and see if it'll run on my Vista laptop. I'll let you know how it goes

Hi Guys

Im Jim from Indiana....

I am very interested in this project so.....

I have wiped my computer...

Installed XP service pack 3

I have read and download all of the "system requirements" although some like media player 11 are newer versions....

I have downloaded every new driver for my current PC that I can think of...

I have the Haupp WinTV-HVR-1600 installed (but I have not installed any drivers for it yet because I didnt know if I should)...

Am I ready to load all of this up??? or is there something I am missing....

Also this is not really a GBP issue however since I have your attention I might as well ask.... Since I have my computer to this point.. Is there anyway I can back it up to a dvd or something so if I screw this up I wont spend hours getting everything back????

THanks in advance

Hope I can be helpful in this project some day...

Jim

For some reason or other various items in my config file have changed in the last hour.

I had a program being recorded at the time in the correct location d:\

but this location has changed in config to c:\xyz, pre and post padding has also changed, skin changed , and EWA no longer works.

The only thing I did during this time was to relocate most recordings from d:\ to d:\recordings and then run vidimport with the following parameters

d:\vidimport d:\recordings import=on

I am concerned other settings have changed I am not aware of and I cant find the original skin either.

logs attached.

TIA Steve

hi - not sure if this is a 1.4.7 issue but i can't remember seeing it in the prev version (have rebuilt pc in between versions)..

when i choose - record series all episodes on this channel, extra programmes are selected. eg, i set Life on BB1 to record and a program name Lifeline is added. Similarly, Coronation Street also adds Coronation Street Omnibus...

Appreciate anyones time/input - have searched and not found anything..
Cheers

Would it be possible to add a tick box the the MISC screen in the config app to change the setting for AutoRemoveMissingRecordings

<AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>false</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>

I generally have this set to off so that if cutting pre and post recording padding creates a new file the recording doesnt get lost from the DB when renaming.

I switch is on when after moving files around and run vidimport to tidy up.

Just a thought.

I have a server setup with GBPvr with two clients, one is an HTPC and the other is a PCH. On the HTPC I have noticed several problems:

1) When viewing a recording and stopping in the middle, the current location in the file is not saved, and therefore, resume does not work.

2) Deleting a recording from the HTPC client seldom works. Generally, pvrx2.exe will hang and it needs to be killed and restarted. After the restart, trying to delete the recording "sometimes" appears to work, and the recording is removed from the database. However if I look on the server, the file most likely is still there. I don't believe it is a permissions problem because every once in awhile the file will actually get deleted.

3) The additional files (*.txt, *.edl) are not deleted even in the few cases where the recording itself was deleted.

These three issues all work correctly from the PCH. I can delete recordings and also resume recordings. Also, it I stop the playback of the recording from the PCH, resume then works from the HTPC.

The response to keypresses from the remote control on the PCH is much slower than on a client PC. Not complaining, I just have a question. My PCH is connected via powerline adapters. Would the response be better if I was directly connected at 100Mbps via an ethernet cable, or is the response speed an issue with the PCH itself?

My wife is impatient with the remote, and she tends to hit skip forward a second time (or third) before the first is completed. Occasionally when this happens, the recording resets and starts playing again from the beginning.

Not a huge problem, but ever since I upgraded my server to GBPvr version 1.4.7, mvpmcx2 dies every night. Not sure what time this happens. In the morning the PCH is back to the standard screen, and I simply have to restart the process. I thought it might have something to do with the epg update which originally ran at 2:00 AM, but I changed this to run at 7:00PM and it still stops running every night. I should mention that the PCH has a hard drive, so I installed mvpmcx2 using the CSI installer and have updated 1.4.7 with all patches using NMTInstall.

On a side note, and it may or may not be related. But I also have an HTPC client that is set to go into standby whenever it is not in use. The client was also updated to 1.4.7. Since the update, GBPvr seems to have more problems coming out of standby. It used to take only a couple seconds and the screen was refreshed. But now it takes much longer - I get a black screen with no display. Sometimes it takes so long that I just end up killing the pvrx2.exe process and restarting it (which always comes up immediately).

OK guys, maybe this isnt the place to ask, but being a complete novice in the is area thought at least I might be able to confirm if GBPVR supports the use of Sky viewing cards or not.

I know I will need to obtain another white viewing card, and a card reader, but will the work with the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 of which I have two in the server.

If anybody can help I would be very grateful

TIA Steve

I want to buy a new case: is the IMon remote control compatible with GBPVR?

thank you
