Are there any plugins or plans to provide plugins for external video sites like CNN, CBS, Hulu, etc. like Boxee does?

If not, is there an easy external app that we could launch? i haven't been on lately and don't know if there's any beta efforts in this area..

Thank you,

I can't seem to use Multi-Record,
MDapi is installed, and I can see live encrypted channels (using acamd and newcs).

But when trying to record 2 channels at the same time (from the same transponder), gbpvr tells me that a recording is already started..

Also, gbpvr doesn't use mdapi when recording, thus giving me encrypted captures.

I can't figure this one out - it happens often to be a PITA though... 1.3.11 - Nova-T 500 - UK Freeview...

I was watching live TV via the MVP. There was a recording scheduled to start at 17:00 with 5 mins pre-padding. A few seconds before 17:00 live TV gets kicked back to the main menu. The recording started OK, but with no pre-padding.

It looks like recordingservice decided to use tuner#2 for the recording - I can't figure out from the logs why tuner#1 wasn't available...

Are there any sites, software or plugins that would let me select a movie and would then notify me when it's going to come on network/cable tv (email rss or other alert)?

It seems like a sufficiently useful service that someone would have thought of it, but my googling did not turn up anything. But I figured if it existed, someone here would know about it.

Thanks

I have a video playback problem on my new build, tearing and bad quality on pans etc. Common suggestion is to try other codecs, is there a list somewhere as apart from NVIDA PureVideo and FFDSHOW I can't think of any...?

Also, how can you tell if a graphics card like the ATI HD4350 is in "hardware decoding" mode. Do I need to have a supported codec for this to work?

This may be a noob problem, however...

I am attempting to use the Schedules Direct service to get data for my OTA capture card. As far as I can tell I set everything up correctly. I've updated the EPG and mapped the channels. I even tried clearing the EPG and updating again. However, the TV Guide still shows "no show details" for everything. I used TVG (separate standalone program that uses Schedules Direct) to confirm listing data is correct for my selected lineup, it just isn't showing up in the TV Guide. What am I missing?

Is it possible to directly boot into the GBPVR software from the PCH? When I first set up MVPMC, I remember having to telnetd to the PCH from a PC. Do you still have to do that? I currently connect from a shortcut in Swisscenter. I know that there have been advancements and am just curious if you could connect directly to GBPVR from bootup on the PCH now.

Thanks

My HD died so I'm setting everything up again.
Upgraded GBPVR to 1.3.11, HDhomerun to 20090305a
I was getting 100% signal from the HDhomerun software and added the Hdhomerun to my bda.ini. Everything was going fine until I tried map my Hdhomerun EPG guide channels.

It shows: Initializing. Then when it changes to scanning ch 1 of 68 it gets the following error:

System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

I am setting up a GBPVR client for the kitchen, and it now plays videos from the video library and live TV but it fails to play MP3s from the music library.

I have attached the logs and from them it would seem that Music Library is not finding a suitable D3D soundcard, although the soundcard in the PC is not great by anymeans it is certainly capable of playing MP3s as a quick check in WMP{ verifies.
On running dxdiag the sound test run fine untill it announces that the card does not support hardware buffering, is this the issue? that for music library to play MP3s I need to have a soundf card that can use hardware buffering?

Whats really strange of course is that many of the video files are using MP3 audio and they play just fine.

Cheers

I've recently set up GB-PVR 1.3.11 with the Hauppauge HD-PVR (using the 1.0.5.031 driver from March 12, 2009) and I'm unable to get sound to work with Live TV.

I've confirmed sound with recorded TV as well as with Live TV if I switch the ArcSoft settings to AAC.

I tried added the <PreferredHDPVRAudioFormat>AC3</PreferredHDPVRAudioFormat> configuration parameter found in this thread but it seems to be ignored.

In my logs, I don't see any request for the PreferredHDPVRAudioFormat, so I'm not sure how it's defaulting to AAC.

I do get some ConnectFilters: Failed(2) when it's loading the HD-PVR:

2009-03-28 17:00:04.377 VERBOSE Adding capture filter: Hauppauge HD PVR Capture Device
2009-03-28 17:00:04.384 ERROR ConnectFilters:Failed(2)

2009-03-28 17:00:04.393 ERROR ConnectFilters:Failed(2)

I've also tried the new NativeUtilities.dll file found here to no avail.

I can work around this for the time being, but my changes in ArcSoft go away each time I reboot, so it would be really nice to find a long-term fix.

Thanks for the help,
Dan
