All of a sudden last night some of my recordings began failing for no apparent reason. And then tonight, 2 records (30 Rock and David Letterman) got put in the "Manual Recordings" directory instead of directories of the show names.

As far as I know, I haven't changed anything related to GBPVR in quite a while. Definitely not in the past 2 days!

I've uploaded a zip archive of my logs directory. If anyone sees any cause for the failures, please let me know.

Thanks!

okay, a friend gave me another card to try, but before I install it, will it work? here is a picture. I know it says pvr-150 and supposedly that is compatible. but I thought the last card I had was compatible and it didnt work. so friend, will it work or not...

I see that my SD QAM recodings are mostly being transmitted in 704x480p resolutions, When watching through GBPVR on my 42 inch HDTV, it has black borders all around it, it looks like it is being displayed at 16 x 9 but at a smallers resolution so it ends up looking like a 37inch picture on 42 inch screen with black boarders.

Is there a way to zoom the picture so the black boarders dissapear.

I know I've seen the details on how to do this previously, but I can't find them now. The Sci-Fi channel has changed their name to "SyFy". With the new name came a new channel in my EPG for SyFy as channel 79. Originally the SciFi channel was channel number 45. The channel number hasn't changed, just the name. I got the channel information fixed in my capture sources (I'm using Schedules Direct by the way) by deleting both channel 45 and 79 then clicked the "Empty EPG" button and then the "Update EPG" button. The problem is I still see channel 79 in my guide and I do not see channel 45. Isn't there a way to force the guide to update?

Hello,

I don't know why I do this; I always have to go fiddle with a working system thinking that an upgrade or a tweak would help an already perfect system. Well now my GBPVR setup is not working anymore and I don't know how to get it working again. Please help.

MVP,GBPVR (1.3.11) and ZProcess (2.0.278).

PVR works perfectly, however, I cannot play AVI files with ZProcess installed. If I remove the Refs to ZProcess then the AVI files play fine (with the loss of aspect ratio, as to be expected). If I add the refs in Zprocess then I get audio only with no video (using Mencoder as transcoder) or MVP reboots completely (using Ffmpeg as transcoder). Thinking it might help I have reinstalled GBPVR and Zprocess from scratch, fiddled with most of the settings unsuccesfully in Zprocess. I'm pretty sure the problem is with ZP as the avi files work fine (minus aspect ratios) if Zprocess is removed.

I'm attaching the logs if somebody could peek in there and tell me what I messed up.

All help much appreciated.

Hi!

I just downloaded metawiz grabber straight of the wiki and for some reason it won't display any new covers. Has something changes?

cover art already in dir displays

I search such as dark knight or independence day using the grabber alternate picks and no pics on the lookup result.

anyone having troubles?

thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a way to tweak with the filenaming of TV recordings in GBPVR.

I want to start using XBMC on some remote locations to grab content via UPNP form the main server that stores my GBPVR TV recordings... and if we could get GBPVR to store them in a certain filenameing syntax then XBMC could parsse the finlename and then scrape to get episode and other info...

XBMC looks to have the ability to setup regular expression info on the filename but essentially it would need season number in the filename( and episode number ideally)... in order to do a lookup and get date and summary and actors etc... ( pretty images etc...) anyone have any ideas? info?

I am thinking maybe a config setting where we can set the file naming structure from a set of choices like series name, season #, episode#, date etc...

thanks for your time

What is the best DVD decoder/navigator out there (free or commercial)? Preferably one that uses ATI hardware decoding. I'm also looking for a navigator that can skip stuff.

My system doesn't seem to be able to handle the Hauppauge HD PVR. The CPU gets pegged at 100% when recording.

My system specs are:
AMD BE-2350 2.1GHz
2GB RAM
Radeon HD 3450 @ 1360x768 resolution

What are your recommendations for a socket AM2 processor (preferably a low-power one)? Will going to quad-core help? I'd like to get something fast enough that I can use with MythTV (in case I can't resolve my DVD playback issues in Windows).

Hi,

I've done portforwarding on 7647, I've disabled the firewall.

I can access other programs on this computer from another computer on the same lan and also from outside the lan. But not gbpvr.

To avoid typos I've copied and pasted the successful gbpvr localhost login to the end of my dyndns.org address and still no joy. Other programs have no problems.

Just to clarify
localhost:7647/gbpvr works
myaddress.dyndns.org:7647/gbpvr doesn't

Can I have some pointers of where to check next?

Many thanks
Alan
