• UncleJohnsBand: Updated CSS for CSS pages to display correctly within IE8.

• UncleJohnsBand: CSS General Notes:
  • CSS Note: To access CSS based screens use guide2.aspx as your start page.
    
  • CSS Note: CSS screens are coded in strict standards mode. This will make future updates easier and provides the best cross-browser (Firefox / IE) compatibility. However, this also means that the CSS sceens will only be fully supported by IE 7 and FireFox. Some screens will not work correctly in IE6. Sorry.
    
  • CSS Note: CSS screens are optimized for screens with 1024x768 resolution or higher. Lower resolution will just cause more scrolling on some screens.
    
  • CSS Note: Please post feedback/bugs in the EWA CSS Guide sticky thread located in the EWA support forum.
    
  
  

I'm trying to get rid of the Title bar (blue bar with PVRX2 at the top of the page) during DVD playback. I tried using command line option "-noframe" but it didn't have any effect (or error). But I also tried command line option "-dvd" and that didn't have any effect either.

My command line command was from ..program files/devnz/gbpvr and was
pvrx2.exe -noframe -dvd

Any ideas?

I've been struggling for a while to get my MVP working like it was prior to the DTV transition (in U.S.). Others on this forum have been very helpful to me, I thought I could share my solution in case it could help someone else. Lots of the bits here are from others on the forums, sorry I didn't keep track to give any credit.

I bought the 2250 before I realized that it saved videos in a format that wasn't compatible with the MVP . Also, I must admit I have had significant problems with the drivers and WinTv application. If these get fixed, perhaps it would be a good card, but I can't recommend it now. It also does not pick-up signals as well as the set-top converter boxes I have (does not find all the channels).

My set-up:
2 150 PVRs (analog tuners)
1 HVR-2250 (dual digital/analog tuners), using the TS Mux
Running XP Home SP 3
Only OTA channels, same channels on all tuners

I hooked up a converter box to each of the 150's. I then used the USB IR/blaster transmitter that came with the HVR-2250. You can get it to work in XP, but you have to hack the INF file for XP to recognize it. (Sorry lost the details on how I did this, but I did find the tip on the net somewhere)

I use IRServerSuite to control the blasters. This was the only software I found that would control port 1 and port 2 on the blasters.

What I wanted to do was be able to watch any of the channels off the 150's from the MVP. I wanted to be able to set recordings on the digital tuners and then watch them after being transcoded.

I am using zap2XML as my EPG source. I download the channel list like usual, then copy it and replace the channel tags so that all the channel numbers are renumbered in the 2000 range (i.e. channel 4.1 shows up as 2041). I do this using sed from GNUwin32 [HTML]http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html[/HTML]

The 150's use the original EPG, and both digital tuners use the modified XML file. Now I can watch analog channels on the 150, and set recordings on the digital tuners. This allows me to control whether the show will be recorded on the analog tuner (I can start watching right away) or the digital tuner (need to wait for it to transcode). The files are transcoded automatically to keep the proper aspect ratio and such.

So my updateepg.bat looks like this:

Let me first say hi to all, I'm so excited about this project.

I tried for a year to get myth tv working and was never happy.

I then moved back to vista and it was ok just a resource hog.

I'm now using windows 7 build 7100 and love the MCE.

Then my dreams we're answered and I found GBPVR, so lets begin with my questions.

Please read my sig for system spec's,

I have spent some time reading and did a clean install of 1.3.11. I then installed the latest version of ffdshow, dscaler, divx and tsconverter. I also am using a logitech remote with MCE settings.

I then went through the GBPVR configuration, I changed the default locations for music, pictures and movies and removed the one that said default /c:.

I set up the epg with cogeco canada and have only used the analog so far, i have an account for with Schedules Direct and this went fine as well.

I then went in and ran the tuning assistant and made sure all my channels worked. this was good as well. I could see all my channels in the little preview.

Ok here is when the fun starts,
1. I have setup GBPVR to run in full mode but it always runs in a window, even if i choose not windowed in the config.
2. when i run mix checker no mixer is found.
3. when I click on live tv nothing happens.
4. when i open the guide nothing happens.
5. If I try and go to Movies, Music, or Pictures my directories are not there (the ones I added on the config page).

I know this is alot to ask for one post and if I have missed something or not followed the forums rules please just let me know.

Thanks Kev

I am in the process of migrating from my PC running XP to a new PC currently running Windows 7 RC. As a next stage in this process, I would like to move one of my capture cards to the Win7 machine (leaving two capture cards in the XP machine). I view programs via a MediaMVP and a PCH.

I want to run GBPVR on the Win7 machine for a while, letting it record programs and I will watch them from the MVP and PCH. I will add the other capture cards as I get more confidence in the Win7 configuration.

I know when the MVP boots from power off it has a screen with the servers it finds (so far it is always a single entry in it with the XP machine's IP address). I assume that with two PCs running GBPVR there will be two entries in the screen and I can choose which one I want.

I recognize that the Popcornhour is not as flexible in choosing a server and I will have to configure it for the server I want to use.

Once I am happy and want to make the transition permanent, I plan to export the recordings from the XP machine and import the recording-dump file into the Win7 machine.

Are there any issues I should be aware of with what I am planning?

I have installed GB-PVR. I have added my two DVB-T card as video sources, and I have mapped Channels-EPG. I have selected a dongle.bin file for Vista. What else do I have to do? When I start the main application and make click in TV it doesn't show nothing (so as tha TV guide). After right-click in the system tray icon and left-click in show status both cards are "sleeping". I also have set the number of server to autostart to "1", but it doesn't work yet. What else do I have to do? (is a single PC installation, it will be server and client if I can make it work).

Thanks for your help.

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
