First off, looks like a great program.

Now, what I want to know is if gbpvr will do what I want... I read the wiki and it seems like it, but I'm new to the whole idea of a home theater.

I have a PC and a laptop. The PC has all of my videos/music on it. It is connected via ethernet to my router. The laptop has nothing on it, bar codecs/programs. When I'm watching stuff, it sits in my living room, connected to a data projector and stereo. It's on wireless .11G from the router.

I'm not interested (currently) in recording video. What I want to know is, can I browse/sort/look at/watch/listen to all my PC media on my laptop. I know I can just share with Windows sharing, but I want a schmick interface, preferably with search/sort/browse options.

Some potential problems... Not all of the files are playable in WMP. Things like .mov, and I have avi's that for some reason sound only works in VLC.

And if gbpvr won't do this, a recommendation on an alternative would be awesome.

Hi, I really shouldn't mess with a working system - i never learn.

Anyway I wanted to add some more channels to one of the tuners. In adding them I made a mistake (in the xmltv side) so I deleted the channel from config, capture source, edit.
fiveusa.channel5.co.uk remove.

Then I redid the xmltv stuff, but no matter what I do GBPVR will not add this channel in. I am guessing it says "you removed it and don't want it back", but I do honest. Where is this kept, It refuses absolutely to add back two channels I removed. I've searched files and the database but can't find any obvious reference. So now I am hesitant in cleaning up other channels in case they disappear for ever.

PS I can manually add the channel, but it won't pick up the programs from the xmltv file.

Help - thanks

I have installed the current version of GB_PVR. I have worked throught the issues with the help of this forum. But I cannot get live TV.

I want to watch freeview HD TV wihich is broadcast in MPEG4 (part10) in New Zeland). DBV-T

I disabled UAC when I installed. It looked like everything installed ok. All of the filters registered successfully. I set up a digital recording plugin as the capture source, selecting my Hauppauge HRV1200 card from the dropdown list. I successfully found and mapped all of our FreeView channels to the EPG.

Under the play back tab I have tried both VRM9 and EVR. I have tried the Cyberlink H.264 decoder, the CoreAVC decoder and the ArcSoft decoder.

I have left the other tabs at their default setting as I dont know what these settings do.

PVRX2 has some functionality. I can select and view the EPG, I can select and watch a video from the HD. However when I move to Live Tv I click on it and absolutely nothing happens.

I have a roof top aerial and can watch normal free to air with MMC.

Note - when I run the mux checker it reports that none can be found. However I understand that an mux is not needed to watch MPEG4 broadcasts.

Inside PVRX2 if I go to the settigs/playback tab I can only scroll through the MPEG2 decoders. None of the H.264 decoders are listed.

Any suggestions where to look now would be gratefully appreciated.

I just got my first TV Tuner card and am trying to setup GB-PVR to work with it. The WinTV software that comes with the HVR-2250 works and displays picture and sound but it leaves alot to be desired. I'm trying to set this software up but not having much luck. I setup the EPG via MC2XML, then went in to configure my Capture Source. Everything appears to be setup there and I mapped the digital channels to those in the EPG. The picture and audio work fine when in the channel scanner, but when I start GB-PVR and go to watch Live TV, the application just locks up and does nothing. If I try to kill the process via Task Manager it doesn't do anything. I have to restart the PC to get rid of the stuck process. What am I doing wrong?

Hey guys,

Loving GBPVR (really awesome) -- one thing that's bugging me is that seeking with a remote is a bit tedious. I do realise that you can input <number>-skip to skip ahead or back by that amount, but I'd really like to be able to seek to a specific time or even a percentage.

Say when you're watching a video or recording you start typing in numbers and it shows up on the screen like so:

first number:

0:00:05

third number:

0:05:00

And then when you press enter it seeks to that time.

You get the drift (though I don't really need the OSD even thought it would be nice, i'd just love the functionality)

Would this be at all possible? Would be it possible to write a plugin? (which I'd be willing to do if there's no other way to do this)

Thanks in advance.

I recently started using ccextractor to get srt files from ATSC recordings. they are nice and they do show up on the MVP however the captions overwrite (never clean up) so the writing ends up being a smear. the OSD does not disappear either (the file name in the blue/black box). removing the srt file returns everything to normal. the captions are extracted to avoid roll up & typing, it's just the whole sentence once. i'm using mvpmc firmware dongle.mvpmc-20080930.bin.

The recordings play fine on the PC and PVRX2. help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I can tune to different frequencies when tuning the channels, It would be grand to know when I press crtl-o what signal strength I am getting from that channel.

loving gbpvr!

EDIT: IT WORKS!!! Please read... http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...stcount=35

I am trying to figure out how to have ffmpeg do a second pass when encoding a .mpg to a .avi but every time it leaves the .mpg and creates the .avi but it has no size. Here is my code in config.xml ...

Has anybody created a working capture graph that uses the dvr-ms mux filter "Stream Buffer Sink"? If, could you please describe it.

I'm using firewire capture and cannot get consistent smooth playback of recordings recorded as PS using the ATI mux. The Cyberlink mux is worse.

I'd prefer to record to TS, but Sub's TS reader can't handle the crap files coming out of the STB. The Nvidia transport demux seems to work fine, but can't be used in GBPVR. My preview graph works well also, using the MS MPEG2 demux feeding the Nvidia decoders. So, I thought I'd try the dvr-ms mux.

Thanks for any insight.

Hello,

I can't seem to get .lnk shortcuts working in either the Music or Video Library. Is this feature not supported anymore? I know it did work a few upgrades ago.

Thanks
