I wish we could see when the last EPG Update took place on the System Menu option, whithout either open the database or go directly to the folder location and th modified time on the file.
Thanks,

I realize that this is probably no surprise as people have been following the mess here in the USA over OTA DTV but as of last Friday, Analog - good old NTSC is no longer being broadcast commercially speaking.

I have a surplus of PCs that I have built and used for a gaming LAN, but now the youngens have gone off to college with laptops and I'm thinking about cannibilizing these PCs and making at least one decent HTPC out of them.

Should I get two DTV capture cards for recoding one channel while watching another or ...

Does GBPVR do all I want or do I need Windows Media Center or is there a better Linux product?

Thanks

HD-PVR 1212 & the MCE blaster with H-20 sat box.... does anyone here use this configuration if so, could you tell me how you were able to config it to change your channels on the sat box?

OK enough of the accronyms, but been using my PCH with WOL for a whiel and works good, decided to use the NCI to see if the use of GBPVR was any slicker from startup (which it is) but problem now is that I have lost the WOL facility.

Anybody know what script changes nee to be made. I copied the WOL exe to the apps directory and ammended the daemon.cgi script I think it was adding the WOL command that I have been using, but all I get is "Started" on a grey background from the PCH

Anybody know what commands I need to use.

I was trying to setup a laptop as a new client (WXP Pro SP3). Here's what I did:

Installed DirectX 9.0
Installed .Net 2.0 SP1
Installed the current version of GBPVR (currently v1.3.11)
Installed patches from the forums.gbpvr.com from the "survival guide" thread

I skipped Config, PVRX2 launches fine to the menu. Then I configure it to act as a client, using streaming, with the appropriate server name and database path. When I tried to launch PVRX2 again, it crashes with a MS .Net Framework unhandled exception. Clicking the "continue" button brings up a PVRX2 window with a white background and a big red X through the whole window, and the same unhandled exception window. It just keeps coming back. I have to kill it from Task Manager. My logs from this client are attached.

I tried removing and reinstalling GBPVR, but get the same results. I can, at any time, uncheck the "act as client" option in Config and PVRX2 will launch. I also noticed the client I had installed on my wife's computer does the exact same thing (use to work, I remember watching the Super Bowl on it), so I wonder if something changed on my server which is causing this?

I did go back to the PC client "how to" on the wiki, but didn't see any steps that I missed.

Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

My wife watches a show on monday nights @ 9:00 and 9:30. I have it set to record "all episodes in this weekly timeslot". The problem is that the same show (older episodes) are on at 8:00 and 8:30 as well. I don't want these ones to record, but they keep being schedualed. I only have 1 tuner and already have a prog. set to record at 8, so I am getting a conflict every week. Any way to tighten the times on the 9:00 show so it doesn't try to record 8, 8:30, 9, 9:30?

I noticed that the PCH's hdmi audio on/off switch doesn't work with mvpmcx2. Ii is OFF and the sound still comes from my tv. I want to use digital sound from my amp with S/PDIF.

Hi,

I changed from an analog WinTV to a TT DVB-C Card and I have some questions:

- I'm using XMLTV for EPG, is it possible to use the EPG from the digital card, because only analog channels are provided by XMLTV (germany/bw)?

- The change went well, and I tried to record and view a show which also was correct. Then I tried to copy a 16:9 mpg file to an USB drive and took it to my media player integrated in the Samsung TV (le b 650), now the ratio is 4:3 and I have no possibility to change it to 16:9. Could this be changed?

- The recorded files are quite big, 1h takes about 1.8GB, is that normal? It is only a little bit smaller than my mpg files from the analog device, I expected smaller files?

Thanks

Hi,

I run .ts to .mpg conversion in the postprocessing.bat using ffmpeg, and it all seems to work well.

However, not all of the recordings are ending up in the Recordings database.
Some are, others aren't and I can't see any obvious pattern as to which recordings don't make it.

Should GBPVR be able to handle this renaming?

Also, is there a way I can manually add the new converted .mpg file to the database to ensure it appears in the Recordings menu.

Thanks.

Dear Sub & All,

I'm having trouble with suspend and resume when running VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive on my new PC. All other renderers stutter on playback (from slight to massive) -- only FSE gives me decent performance.

However when coming back from resume, PVRX2 will often crash and show only a black screen.

I saw from the changelog that there was a workaround put in place for 1.0.16 to help alleiviate this, but I still have this problem.

Thanks,
Dane
