I was looking for instructions about getting GBPVR to use the Cable company's set top box. I have HIP set up, and set to send IR to the box. I have a Hauppauge IR Blaster.

Couldn't find out where the instructions were.

I'm currently a replayTV user and realize that I need to start planning to move on to something else in the future. For one thing, I'd like to record QAM. GBPVR is the first PC based PVR I've tried.

One of the things I like about the replayTV is that it automatically cleans up old shows. I can tell it to record all episodes of SpongeBob Squarepants, but only keep 5 of them. When it records a 6th episode, it deletes the first. Basically, it can record forever without ever missing new shows due to lack of disk space and without me having to ever delete anything.

Is GBPVR able to do this? I see the 'KEEP:' option when scheduling a recording, but I don't see a description in the documentation.

What is supposed to happen when I tell it to KEEP 2 episodes? Does it record 2, then cancel the recurring recording so it will never record again? Or does it delete the first episode when the 3rd episode appears?

Thanks,

OK, this has to be one of the strangest things I've seen. I have a newer Dell dual core with the onboard video, and a Hauppauge HR1600. I never had the digital side hooked up until recently, and at first when I did everything worked fine. I was running the screen at 1024x768. I changed to a widescreen monitor and changed to the 16x9 option in the config program. Now whenever I play HD video PVRX2 crashes! Through experimentation I've found that if I decrease the resolution of the monitor from 1680x1050 to 1280x960 (both are widescreen resolutions) the HD video will play just fine. Analog video will play fine at either resolution. PVRX2 crashes when I try to watch a HD channel live or a recorded program. It seems to record just fine though. I've also tried rolling back quartz.dll to the 9.0b version, no difference.

I've attached the logs. Hopefully somebody can give me a few ideas.

Thanks

I guess this is part support, part wishlist, but is there any way to stop gbpvr ejecting the drive tray if it doesn't find a DVD?

I use AnyDVD and it can sometimes take 20-30 seconds from inserting a disc to it becoming "visible" to windows/gbpvr. This often results in the wife putting a disc in the tray, getting back to the couch, hitting play, then having the disc ejected back out because it wasn't seen yet. Cue grumbling :-)

The obvious solution is to wait longer, but if a simple option exists to *not* eject the tray that'd be great.

I have a working setup & things have been pretty smooth, so I haven't bothered looking into multirecording with my HDHomerun.

But Comcast changed our channel lineup around, recently, so I'm going to have to mess around with things anyway, so I figured I'd add that in too.

Is there anything I need to do for multirecording other than download the latest HDHomerun SW & FW, and follow the GBPVR instructions on the silicon dust board?

Thanks

Zehd,

I am grateful you added the ability to rename files with spaces using UltraXMLTV_Renamer. I have noticed a slight issue when UltraXMLTV_Renamer renames files with spaces that include episode information in the subtitle. Although UltraXMLTV_Enhancer correctly enhances the episode information in the subtitle, when UltraXMLTV_Renamer renames the file using the same episode information it removes the spaces between the title, hyphen, and subtitle (i.e., title-subtitle vs title - subtitle).

I know it's a small bug, but I thought you might like to know about it.

Kind Regards,


Gary

I just built a new computer with Vista 64bit and I am looking for a replacement for my Plextor TV402U which is not supported in Vista.

I was looking at the Hauppauge HVR-1950. Does anyone know if this works with Vista 64bit and gbpvr?

Thanks!

After quite a few months, I have my machine back up with 1.3.11. Previously, DVR-MS playback had been flawless. Now, it's jerky. I understand that this is not intrinsic to GB-PVR; it's related to Directshow and drivers. I am looking for insight as to why previously flawless playback is now a bit like the stuttering found in Adobe Flash video.

System specs:
Asus M3A78-EMH-HDMI, 2.8ghz Athon 64x2, 4 gb ram, 780g motherboard graphics, XP/SP3, latest ATI 9.1 driver. No video scaling; the TV is a Philips 1920x1080 native. Graphics driver acceleration is "full." DRV-MS is from U.S. OTA at 15mb/s . There are no dropouts. Previously, VMR9 exclusive was found to be required for pristine performance, so that continues to be used.

Just discovered: If I play the DVR-MS files with WMP11, they play smoothly, but without sound, since AC3filter is required. Does this indicate a mux problem?

What changed?

Like the subject says... when I view live TV (both SD and US ATSC broadcast) the video's there (and it's NICE) but I have no audio...

If I record the show I was JUST testing out, and then watch it from the recording, it's fine. Audio and video both there.

It's weird... Any thoughts?

Here's a screenshot of my Playback menu just in case it helps:

Have a strange problem using GBPVR version 1.3.7; Using HDHomerun with cable qam. Am able to watch and record on all digital channels except one. I am in the States and it is digital channel 810 ( WLTX local CBS affiliate). I am using TS mux. I can watch the channel live just fine but cannot record or timeshift. Recording creates .ts files, but they are 0 bytes. I have attached the logs. Hope someone can help
