I know it has been discussed before and never really made it up the 'to do' list but I thought I would throw it up again. But Sub's kids must nearly be to the point of using the full menu interface. (motivation?) Hey - they are probably doing a bit of coding too.

I don't know how it might work - but it could be that on a slave machine you check on/off the ratings (from the EPG) that are displayed in the recordings menu. But I bet these differ by regions just to make it hard.

I am using mvpmcx2 for PCH... And I woulf like to install some plugins for Wheater, Web cams, ... Is it possible ?

Or I am not able to add plugins ...

I mean because this plugings have some new .exe configurations !

Hi,

Trying to use SimpleArchiver with the Slick skin and there doesn't appear to be any menus in the Video Library. SimpleArchiver uses the transcode button in the menu. Using the Blue skin instead I can see the menu and use SimpleArchiver. Is something wrong that can be fixed or is this just how it is?

Thanks,

TW

First of all VERY impressed with the software. I was using mythtv (also very good) but need to run windows on this PC.

Everything is fine except the HD channels. I don't know what logfile to look at to troubleshoot. Perhaps just a missing codec or something?

When I tune to an HD channel (eg BBC HD) there is a blank screen and two new windows appear (also black screen) titled "ActiveMovie Window".

I've tried searching the forums but can't find a solution. I'm happy to troubleshoot myself but don't know where to start.

once again. Fantastic piece of software (better than any proprietary sh!t and it's FREE!?) great job!

I searched but didn't find any results. How do you display the taskimage using the slick skin?

I tried this in menu\skin.xml... (with no change)

GUI setting for length of duplicate recording detection.

Detection of repeats.

Hi All, im wondering if anyone knows if the OEM 7130AM WDM TV TUNER/VIDEO CAPTURE CARD is compatible with GBPVR? If not, can someone recommend a card for use in Australia?
Thanks

I've switched back to zap2xml from mc2xml, but that is another story.

zap worked like a charm for a few weeks, but tonite I notice that prime time shows seem to be missing, tried update, clearing then update, etc, no luck. I look at the zap2it website and the data is good there, but not in the xml file.

I know not specific to gbpvr, but I can't seem to find the issue anyplace else.

Thanks.

I'm considering adding a PCI tuner to my GB-PVR box, strictly for digital. Primarily for OTA ATSC; I really have no plans to get cable. I'm quite happy with my HVR-1250, but only have the one PCIe slot (yes, I am kicking myself for not just buying a HVR-2250 in the first place).

It seems to me a LOT of people have all kinds of weird problems with the HVR-1600 for digital. So I'm wondering what other PCI digital tuners people are using?

This will be kind of long-winded, so my apologies.

Currently I have my GB-PVR 1.3.11 set up and working happily with a cheap RCA universal remote. A serial IR receiver, WinLIRC and Autohotkey.

Current goal: replace fragile, eventually-obsolete serial receiver with USB, and still use one inexpensive universal remote for all home theater components.

Research has yielded no satisfactory answers to the following.

1: I want to still be able to control my TV, audio receiver, cable box, and GBPVR with a single remote. Is there no such thing as a universal MCE remote that doesn't cost $50+?

2: I have seen HP receivers on eBay for about $15. Can a USB MCE Receiver receive signals from a standard universal remote?

3. WinLIRC (as far as I can tell) doesn't work with USB, only serial. If #2 is possible, which software would work best for interpreting uni-remote signals? EventGhost? HIP?

If you have endured my ramblings this far and have any workable solutions, I thank you in advance.
