Can anyone confirm that they are using a .exe changer and that it is working?

I am using hipsend.exe to change my PVR150-MCE beanbag, and it seems to work perfectly when viewing live tv (or selecting a channel from the guide), but when I select Record or Quick Rec from the guide, it just records the channel that was last active - same for scheduled recordings.

I have checked the log and it indicates that it is calling Hipsend to change the channel, but the IR blaster is not firing.

Is there any way to check in HIP if it receiving the request from HIPsend?

Also, what is the purpose of the Hipsend.ini file that is created in the gbpvr directory? It seems to be recreated if deleted, and in my case always contains 400|0:1


FYI: I have had this problem for maybe 2-3 years?!? over various versions. Its annoying me now as its the only thing I haven't managed to fix

Been using GBPVR for several years...especially since it give me no problems at all compared to other software.

I would like to see what would need to be done to add more recording time to a program. For instance...I record two one hour shows and edit out the commercials and save each show separately as a separate file. This works well...except for only being able to go up to 90 minutes at the end of the program. Would love to be able to record a three to five hour block of a channel at a time. Not sure if there would be any way to change from 90 minutes to 180 or 300 minutes?

Thank you so much for making a program which allows me to keep using the PVR-150.

I'm using a laptop as a client. (1.4.7)

Occasionally, if I'm going out of town for a few days, I file transfer several shows I may want to watch from my PVR server to the laptop's Video Library folder so I can play them locally, without being connected to the server.

In order to do this I need to redo the configuration by unchecking "Configure this machine to act as a client", otherwise PVRX2 crashes when it starts up because the server doesn't exist. When I return home and want to use the laptop as a client again I have to redo the configuration again.

I looked at the command line options in the wiki and didn't see any that appeared to be able to set the path to the config.xml file.

I believe it would be worthwhile to have a "-config path\to\config.xml" command line switch. That way we could create shortcuts to start PVRX2 using different config settings.

This would also be of benefit if you're trying to solve a problem by changing the config. You could have your good config in the C:\Progr...\GBPVR\GOOD folder and make modifications to the one in C:\Progr...\GBPVR and always have a shortcut that points back to the "good" config.

I've been using XPMCE for years with a PVR500. I just bought an HDHR and have it set-up and working w/ XPMCE. I also have an A100 Popcornhour which is used to stream DVD ISOs, recorded TV, steraming Netflix eic to the Master BR. But... I want a better setup and am checking out GBPVR and (gasp) SageTV.

Sage setup was easy, but I'm balking at the cost of sw licenses, and their extenders. I like that they have both linux and windows solutions that will run on a dedicated headless linux or WHS server.

Ok, back to GBPVR. I'd love my NMT to be what I know it can be w/ GBPVR and want to give GBPVR a whirl, but I've been frustrated finding all the right info I need to get my HDHR set up for clear QAM. Please point me to the right guides or forum posts, Thanks

I have a functional GBPVR Server configured with two Hauppauge HVR-1600 cards configured to receive QAM channels from Comcast Cable. In that server I've successfully mapped about 80 channels on both cards.

I'm now attempting to configure a different PC to receive QAM from Comcast using a USB Hauppauge HVR-950q. (no spare PCI slot.) Channel scans fail on this PC. (note - survival guide files are installed) When the frequency displayed during the scan reaches 46/47 the config.exe program hangs. Task Manager reports that config.exe is not responding. Terminating config.exe will remove the window, but the program will not terminate. No data is recorded in the scan-1.cache file. A user log-off is needed to terminate the program.

Please advise on how I should proceed. Are there issues with this video converter?

Thank you

What do I need to get GBPVR to wake up to record a show?
My pc goes to hibernate after 20 minutes. I set a recording but GBPVR didn't wake up to record a show. Do I need additional files?

I'm doing some research on video and cloud computing and I could use a collection of U.S. cable tv listing files (xmltv or any other well known format) that span a chunk of time (ideally the months leading up to now or all of 2008). If you have any you care to share, drop me message at dcc@videointhecloud.com.

I had 3 recordings selected tonight, all from 9PM to 10. Two of them recorded 1 minute, the other 4 minutes. Kinda frustrating.

I've got a Hauppauge 150 and a 500. I can quick record 2 shows and watch a 3rd, but when I schedule in advance, I've been getting 1 minute recordings.

Attaching logs in case that helps. PLEASE HELP!

My liveTV seems to work just fine, however i cannot play any recordings, even though they work in VLC. Im not sure what the issue is but i was playing with ChannelLogoTool to install some logos and i find that it doesnt work when i tried playing back some recordings, both analog and digital. Here are the logs from watching LiveTV and after trying to playback a recording. Thanks

Hello,

What is the best video card to use with gbpvr? Both cards I used have had problems. My one card sometimes does not record shows unless I select "Restart recording service". My other card sometimes messes up the sound and all I hear is very loud static. Can anyone recommend a decent card that will work great with GBPVR?

Thanks!
