Would be nice to filter by movies, or comedy, or documentary. Particularly movies. There are times when I"m bored with the shows I record I would like to see what movies are in the guide. AFAIK, there's no way to do that now.

I having some codec problems & was wondering which codecs are recommended.
I really only want to do stuff related to DVB so mpeg2/HD/ac3/TS files etc.
some of my ts files need hdtvpump or tsfilesource to work, but I having problems getting them to automatically connect to suitable decoders etc.
I am reasonably familiar with graphedit and changing codec priorities, but still need to know more to setup the system well.
And recommendations on (1) codecs and (2) how to set them up?
thanks

Hi.
Anybody have this board?

I have one and and i am very hapy with it - it is rock stable, nice video quality, but there are problems too.

I am using XPSP3, BIOS F4, 2GB RAM, only Hauppage 1300 TV card is installed, no keyboard/mouse is connected.

Basicaly, i setup my HTPC to go to standby mode after 3min.
GB-PVR should wake up my machine to record, but sometimes it simply freeze (fails to wakeup correctly). MCE stand by tool helps a little, becouse manual standby/wakeup working just fine after MCE instalation.

I checked all possible LOGs, event wiever, but there is no info about hang :/

I am afraid it can be some MB issue... Who knows?

Any tips?

Scheduled recordings just don't seem record at all. I changed my DVB-T cards for a DVB-S HVR3000 and all was working sweet until I installed a Nova S, then recordings stopped recording for some recordings. I had a play and uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers and also gbpvr and now all recordings fail. Please find attached my logs. I have no other TV apps using the cards and I know GBPVR can use them as they work in config when tuning channels just fine.

I just bought a Leadtek DVR1800 H which works beautifuly with GBPVR. I do have a few questions regarding recording HDTV though.
1. What is the best format to auto-convert the recorded .ts file into keeping the HD resoultion and quality as best as possible but not being 7GB for a 60 min show.. im not made of HDD space ( i have a 500GB)
2. Does comskip actually work or can it make you miss parts of a show
3. how can i make the recoding be named something other than the show name and the date, i wouldnt mind it being the prog name and then subtitle (e.g. The simpsons - Treehouse of horror IV.ts)
4. fianlly i have a remote from leadtek that came with the card, which has a faux MCE mode. this works for the ch +/- but thats it. Has anyone had success with this remote

Cheers

I had GBPVR working pretty well and decided to see how things would go with Windows 7.

Apparently a mistake! Installing for dual boot with XP clobbered my wireless connection (not germaine to this thread) and my ability to watch Live TV on my HVR-2200.

I get very grainy images now for TV 2, 3, and Sky (TV1 is clear as usual), and no image (blue screen) but audio for Prime.

Any immediate ideas on what drivers got whacked would be appreciated!

I don't use the whole CDK schedule infrastructure but I do make good use of the rectracker mechanism to purge repeats from my scheduled recordings. This has worked great until the last couple releases of GBPVR where I started getting this error when I invoke the command:

rectracker -purge -useOid

It will churn for a while, outputing the expected results and purging the first couple duplicates and then it will hang for about 30 seconds and issue an error:

Error System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException: The database file is locked

There are two issues here.
1) The database shouldn't be locked.
2) When the error happens, rectracker still issues a 0 return code/error level so I can't detect the issue in my PostEPGUpdate batch file. This prevented my from working around the database locking issue by putting the call in a loop until the program terminated successfully.

I've got a reasonably large rectracker.mdb file and a good sized gbpvr.db3 database as well, although I have no specific data relating the size of the database to the issue.

I have seen some comments regarding some bugs in the SQLite providers used by GBPVR so I suspect that that might be the issue. I am hoping someone might have a fix to avoid triggering those issues. If it is a bug in the SQLite interface, I was thinking slowing down the query rate might help alleviate the problem.

I have been unsucessful at installing the netflix plugin. I have the latest version of gbpvr. When I install the plugin it give me some long winded registry error. Then when I run config and goto the plug ins tab all the plug ins are gone. If i launch pvrx2, I get a white screen with a big red x. Do I need the GBPVRCommonUtilities.dll file. I am not sure where to get that, or is it included with 1.3.11? Any help would be great thanks.

I am setting up a postprocessing batch file & I am trying to find out the quickest method to transcode SD .ts recordings to .mpgs for playing back on the MVP. I don't care about compressing them at all I just want to be able to fix up timeline errors so I can skip/resume on them.

Using the standard ffmpeg line in my postprocessing batch file

I just signed up for the Netflix 2 week trial becasue I really wanted to give this plugin a try. I have my test setup with 1.3.11 installed, copy the plugin files, add the patch from 1.0.2.6rc1. I then try and download a few movies but get the error 'no data streams available'. I read that that may be because I need to use the silverlight player so I change that in the config and I can now watch movies.

It seems that it opens another window of internet explorer to watch the movie via the player. I then maximize the window and tell it to use full screen but will I always have to do this? How do you get back to GBPVR once the movie is complete? Is there something else I need to do? Thanks.
