I finally got PVRx2 to run on 1.2.9 where I had UBURadio running (that is, until an install of Nero 9 lead to huge problems with GBPVR and video card, where a total redo of the video card drivers and some of GBPVR was necessary). So having PVRx2 working fine, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of GBPVR. I did uninstall the post Nero non-working UBURadio application from 1.2.9 before making the upgrade.
1.3.11 is now installed on my computer and seems to be working flawlessly...well except for this problem.
I have attempted to add UBURadio 1.3 using the packaged installer. After installing, I run config and go to the plugin section. Web Radio is listed and checked. Plugins are enabled (same problem when Timeshift or Preview is checked, otherwise UBUconfig is default). I start PVRx2. Web Radio is listed in the menu. I click on web radio, it seems to want to go to another screen, but then stays on the initial PVRx2 screen.

I do have VLC 0.8.6e, RealPlayer 11 and Windows Media Player 11 installed.
Skins: I have tried Blue on the General Tab, and on the MVP/NMT tab have tried both Default and Blue.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

I've been a long time user of GBPVR - finally getting around to my first post. Thanks to sub for an amazing program.

I've just upgraded to the HD-PVR and everything is going perfectly except for one small glitch that I believe is due to my STB.

I'm in Canada using a Starchoice Motorola DSR-505 STB. I'm getting a border at the top of my HD channels; SD channels are fine and the border is at the top of every HD channel and only at the top.

This only occurs when using EVR (I'm running Vista). Everything is fine when I switch to VRM9 but then I lose H264 acceleration. Recordings still play smoothly using VRM9 but CPU usage is in the 35 - 40% range instead of 2 - 5% using EVR.

The border is present during "Live TV" and on all the recordings and shuffling through F7 does not fill the screen.

This same top border is present while recording from the bundled Arcsoft TME software.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. I've attached a screenshot of one of the HD recordings. I realize I haven't listed many specs of my setup - please let me knoe if you need more. Thanks![ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

I am using 1.3.11 and I use SD and UltraXMLTV for my listings.

It's hard to explain what is going on, but here is a summary.

My wife records Days of our Lives. UltraXMLTV converts the SD XML listings and changes the title to append an '*' if the showing is new. So it titles a new showing to "Days of our Lives *".

The TV Guide in GBPVR and the gbpvr.db3 has no record of this (it just has "Days of our Lives"). But the listing "Days of our Lives *" is in the XML file that is imported into GBPVR.

I have gotten it to import, but I have to manually Empty the EPG on both my capture sources and update the EPG. I have the Completely reload EPG checked.

Something seems to be messed up, possibly with my database. I can post my database and the XML it is importing. I can also get logs if those are helpful.

Weird thing is that it only seems to do this with daily updated shows, like soaps. Because my weekly recorded shows have the * after the title, and the database has them in there.

Any ideas?

This weekend, I started having problems recording analog. Live TV plays fine and this tuner also works in Media Center. Firewall has pvrx2 and recording service allowed. The logs show:

Since I installed version 1.3.11, I noticed a glitch in the EPG. Channel 27 programs are mapped to channel 67 in PVRX2. Normally I don't have a channel 67. Now I have channel 67 with snow but EPG info, and channel 27 with an actual channel but no EPG info.

I checked the xml file, everything seems in order. There is no mention anyware of a channel 67, everything properly mentions channel 27. Weird.:confused:

I use mc2xml, and process the result with UltraXMLTV_Enhancer.

Quite often when using the fast forward 2x, 4x, 8x or the right arrow a number of times giving 30 second increments the system doesnt do what it should.

eg current time 8:00 you press the right arrow 4 times which should fast forward 1:30 to 9:30 but the system only fast forwards a few seconds.

Likewise if you press fassword and press play once at 9:30 the system plays from say 8:20

Hope that makes sense.

I did a search and basically, only "I" showed up with this mobo and very little for "3100" ....

Anyway, my goal is to "fine tune" the video output as I know it can be better.

This MOBO has the ATI Radeon 3100 in it, and plays out to the TV disapointingly rough, compared to my playstation dvd player.

(DVD's and avi or xvid are noticeably different)

Let's just work with DVD for quality sake, for now.

(The other night, I was watching a dvd through the PVR and... well it locked (seperate issue, I will work on later)

So we put the dvd in the PS2 and could not believe the differance in video quality! Wifeyj, then looked at me and said "emmmm Hmmm" as she knows how much time I spend on the PVR. I need to show her and myself that all this time is worth the efforts!

How shall we get started with this?

Tuesday night, House and 24 on Fox in HD, and two episodes of Star Trek TNG on WGN (analog) at the same time. (logs zipped from that night, whatever it was should be close to the end of the logs, within an hour or so).

House and the Treks all came through fine, but the 24 recording failed. I had a similar problem with an episode of Fringe some weeks ago under similar circumstances.

I've hatched a theory that might be dumb, but here it is anyway. What I think happened was GBPVR doesn't like to use the same tuner for back to back shows on the same channel if a 2nd tuner is available--logic that is presumably designed to make sure both files/shows have some buffer time on them.

So imagine I have Plextor, QAM1 (which is also Analog 1) and QAM2 (also Analog 2). Plextor gets tasked with the first analog recording, and QAM1 gets the first digital hour. As that hour is nearing the end, Analog 2 gets tasked with the next analog show just as GBPVR is trying to task QAM2 with the second digital show. QAM1 (aka analog1) is still tied up on the first digital recording, so it can't be used. Only one of the two second hour shows gets recorded, the other gets fubared even though QAM1 will be available to keep recording the same channel it's already on for the second hour.

Obviously, alternative B is I screwed something up or my setup did, or I don't understand all the limitations of my 2250. That might be more likely.

What do you think?

anyone know how to play mkvs on a xbox 360 or a ps3?

most of my collection is in mkv (i ripped all my dvds to it) but i cant get the xbox 360 (or ps3) to play them, they show up on the xbox, but wont playback.

i just installed tversity and will try that, but that converts them to a wmv file, and since the xbox can play the codec used inside the mkv for video/audio, i would prefer a app just to change the container on the fly (if one exists).

so anyone had any luck with this?
