Hi Everyone,

I'm new to GB-PVR, so far it looks great. So great work Sub and other contributors.

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with regards to sorting out EPG listings for Australia and/or Sydney if possible (freeview channels, DVB-T).

Is anyone using xmltv listings for freeview? Or just DVB EPG?

Thanks!

When I use PVRX2 locally on the pc, a webcam site updates properly with new images. Out at the tv, on the MVP, the image does not update unless I exit the webcam routine and restart it (and then it only displays the next current image.. then sits there w/o updating again).

Is this normal with the MVP ?

--
BTW, Im a little confused about the diff between GB-PVR and PVRX2. Is PVRX2 the local pc app, and GB-PVR the app serving the MVP ? Or are they both considered instances of PVRX2 ?

Is there a way to pass a command line option to epsxe?

I want to use the "-analog" command to start the emulator in analog joystick mode (this way I don´t need to hit "F5")

Thanks

Hi,

I want to build a new HTPC and just need a few hardware recommendations. I currently have a PVR-250, 2x MVP's, and digital cable. My PVR-250 only sees channels up to 99 and I want to be able to record all of my digital channels. I currently have no STB near my HTPC and would like a new card capable of recording all of the channels. It'd be a added bonus to record the 8 or so standard free HD channels we receive assuming I could view them with an MVP which I'm not quite clear on. Dual tuners would be great too. Which card/device is right for me?

I'm also thinking about a PCH. We view 100% on the MVP's and they work fine, but are a bit sluggish and sometimes lock up. The PCH seems to have overcome that. Is that a true statement?

Thanks,

Jim

I just had my MB die on my GBPVR machine and so I took the opportunity to upgrade to Vista.

I got GBPVR up and operating fine with my HDHomerun and Hauppauge PVR USB2 capture devices and I thought I was home free with the Avermedia since Vista automatically installed drivers for it. Config.exe sees the Avermedia as a usable device to set up, but when I try to view a channel in GBPVR, no joy.

The logs seem to indicate that gbpvr can't find the device. I am at work and can't post the logs right now. If they might be helpful I can do that. My feeling is that the drivers are not quite right. The Avermedia site has NO info on this card. I guess its just too old.

Anyone have any experience with M150 under Vista?

I am unable to get the OverScanVideoAlso option in Config.xml to work as described in http://76.76.102.42/vBulletinForum/showt...hp?p=99476.

Is this setting operational in version 1.3.11?

Does it require any other settings to work?

I thought I had a problem w/ my HD-PVR recording w/ messed up timelines, so I played around with adding tsmuxer to PostProcessing.bat, but it turns out that simply deleting the comskip files causes the files to play back correctly.

Couple things I noticed:

1) If a file appears to have timeline issues (skipping always jumps to the beginning of the file), deleting the comskip files makes this problem go away - although comskip won't work then...
2) Alternatively, I can manually run tsMuxeR to re-mux the file and the problem goes away - plus I still have comskip
3) When I added tsMuxeR to PostProcessing.bat & ran PP.bat manually on the file, if comskip ran BEFORE tsMuxeR, everything was fine. If it ran after, the file was messed up (deleting comskip files restored timeline during playback)
4) If PostProcessing.bat is called from GBPVR, even w/ comskip running BEFORE tsMuxeR, the file appears corrupt - again removing comskip files corrects the problem.

Time line "corruption" appears both on the PCH & on the PC (although I really only view from the PC if I'm debugging stuff)

The last file I tried viewing that displayed timeline issues was an episode of Semi-Homemade viewed between 8-8:30 AM - once w/ & once w/o comskip files available.

This is an update of my GBPVRTray replacement, Slimm GB-PVR.

[SIZE="5"]To install[/SIZE]:

1. Ensure you have installed .NET Framework 2.0. It can probably be installed by accessing your Windows Update or you can follow this download link: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable
   
2. Download and install SlimmGBPVR: Download from SkyDrive
   

• The tray icon can now have a tooltip allowing you to disable the balloon if you wish and still receive information by hovering over the icon. The Tray Configuration form has a new System Tray Tool-tip area to customise the tool-tip. They are also a couple of additional registry settings to customise the tool-tip.
  
• "Delay shutdown when intercepted" added to Tray Configuration/Advanced/Shutdown options.
  
• If Slimm GBPVR is already running, when you start a new copy it will terminate the old one. This is handy for when Windows Explorer crashes and doesn’t restore the icon. Now you simply run Slimm GBPVR again; the old instance will be terminated and the new one, with a shiny new icon, will execute. It has been used to provide command-line access to Slimm GBPVR’s delayed shutdown features.
  
• Command line switch /shutdown added.
  

• If Slimm GBPVR cannot retrieve the tuner status (if, for example, one of your tuners has crashed), it will not execute an automatic (delayed) shutdown.
  
• Tuner Status warning and error messages (that appear when the tuner status cannot be retrieved once or several times respectively) now use balloon tips instead of message boxes.
  
• Auto-restart recording service now attempts to restart service a few times before throwing up an error balloon and not trying again.
  
• Multiple instances of Slimm GBPVR are now closed via PostThreadMessage WM_QUIT instead of Process.Kill. This means that the application closes properly and the system tray icon is removed.
  

• Slimm GBPVR now sets ES_AWAYMODE_REQUIRED for SetThreadExecutionState in compliance with Vista’s new rules on power management.
  
• Vista and above only: Slimm GBPVR also sets ShudownBlockReason while GBPVR is recording so that when it prevents a system shutdown, Vista can tell the user why.
  

• /tunerstatus switch added.
  

Have yet another problem. Live TV look like a static picture. I can't understand, it was working fine a day ago. It just looks like a stacticed up version of normal tv.
