Have a funny feeling Im completely overlooking something here, but when adding content in the moviewiz manager, i am
1) in the settings tab, selecting "Process Subdirectories"
2) in Add content, selecting "location = D:/My Movies/", then "Locate new content"
3)selecting all, then clicking on "Load"
The movies and images are located and imported into the database but I cant seem to get the xml files included, and instead wants to source this info online. Am I able to force my existing xml files to be loaded into the db??
Note : existing xml data created using wizmetadatagrabber. Can this utility (wizmetadatagrabber) be used to embed the xml data I already have into the video file, which can then be read by the moviewiz manager?
I would like to be able to watch the live broadcasts of the Tour de France on ITV4 but this is only available on Sky via the 'red button' service (ITVi?).
I have the ITVi Quad channel setup but when I view it I can see the four screens but I don't know how to select a particular one.
How do I select one of the screens or do I need some specific tuning entry for my bda cache file?
PVRX2 locally, and via the MVP 'were' working ok.. (well, a few issues, but work in progress etc)..
I tried installing UbuStream. Between the wiki, Ubustream's rtf file and forum msgs (and crosslinks between em all).. I think I might have confused the installation.
Even with an uninstallation (of Ubustream) now, any time I approach the gbpvr config application, I cannot save it.. "Database locked" error. I tried a reboot of the pc, and same thing. Now Pvrx2 wont even run locally on the pc (but the mvp worked last time i checked anyhow..).
Today all my recordings disappeard form the list, past pending and recourring. MyTV Guide s also blank which explains the pending. My Schedule Direct account was renewed last month. Manually updating the EPG guide I got an error that the account wan not set up properly. I verified the account credentials. I tried reimporting the shows and it says they are alredy there. I verified the directory structure and the presence of the recordings. Both Avermedia 180 tuners work fine. Im on the older version because i don't have the horsepower to drive the new UI. Version 1.0.16. This has worked well for about a year untouched.

I'm using mc2xml to update my EPG, but after I update, I have "No Details" for all listings. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My UpdateEPG.bat file consists of the following lines:
@echo off
Rem Get Guide Data from mc2xml
c:\EPG\MCEPGUpdate.exe
Rem Send the command to GB-PVR to tell it to update its EPG
C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.exe -OnlyUpdateEPG
My MCEPGUpdate.exe is and executable of a .bat file that consists of the following:
del xmltv.xml
mc2xml.exe -f -c ca -g XXXXXX -C mc2xml.chl -F -o xmltv.xml
where: XXXXXX is my Postal Code.
Now the base xmltv.xml file is built from the mc2xml.exe command and resides in the same directory. The gbpvr command is run as it builds an xmltv.xml file in the gbpvr directory. Thing is the original file is around 50-60 Megs, while the rebuilt one is over 100Megs. But I'm still getting "No Details" so I don't quite understand where I'm going wrong. Should I be deleting the xmltv.xml file that resides in the gbpvr directory as well? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. I also REMed out the "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.exe -OnlyUpdateEPG" command as I read in the Wiki that it is not used externally anymore, but it didn't make a difference.
Any suggestion for a .ts h.264 HD editor. Something simple to chop the start and end would be fine to start with.
I've tried a few feature or time limited demos but they seem to want to recode the file as well and upset aspect ratio's and take forever.
I want to record a series of BBC HD shows that my niece is in and make sure there is plenty of pre and post padding but want to get rid of the excess later on.
Has anyone had any luck getting surround sound to work through the PCH? It's certainly not a deal breaker, but I do miss having it available for the digital broadcasts.
Well, as the title states I'm getting ready to set up my HTPC pretty soon and I just want to nail down a few things before I do. I found this set up list on the forum and just used it as a model (thanks Pob) to see if what i have works and to get some input on what people think i should use with my pc setup to get the best result. I'm not too sure that the hauppauge I have will work, though it worked well enough with BTV before the digital switch. I also have satellite but am not thinking of incorporating that in just yet. that is another project.
this is really my test HTPC, as I use it for email and what not. I am trying to talk the wife into letting me do a new build HTPC/Server pc in the basement and I think I can sell her on the pvr factor, but, I digress.
So, here is my set up so far. I have a ton of codecs and stuff. so, let me know what you think. I am interested in some of your experiences with GB-PVR, because I tried using it a year ago I think it was and didn't have to good a results, and wound up buying Beyondtv and it is okay but I would rather try something different...
Have a look and tell me what you think:
* Operating System Windows XP, Intel pen. 4 - 2.66 ghz, 1.99 gb ram, sp 3,
* Video card used Geforce 5200
* Analogue or digital tuner? Hauppauge pvr pci II 26xx / Conexant BDA DVB-s tuner/demod
* Video renderer ?
* Video decoder ?
* Audio decoder ?
* Multiplexor ?
* H264 playback ?
* DivX / XviD decoder ?
* Display connection DVI (PC) -> HDMI (TV) 32" lcd tv, up to 720 HD
I suppose my main concern is my capture card. I mean it all seems pretty straight forward and I'm pretty sure I can handle getting it up and running.
