I've setup Djkxml (as I'm in New Zealand) as my EPG scraper and put the djkxml executable file into the C:/Program Files/Devnz/GBPVR main directory, so the generated xmltv.xml file resides in this directory as well. I've pointed the GBPVR Config app to this directory. I have also created an UpdateEPG.bat file in this directory that has the following in it:
@ECHO OFF
Djkxml
The problem is that GBPVR doesn't seem to be automatically updating the TV guide each night. The Djkxml file works perfectly if run manually and 7 days worth of data is imported after I hit Update EPG in the GBPVR Config app. But nothing seems to happen overnight.
With the Digital cut-over in the U.S. looming (now postponed) I decided to build a new system. I purchased a Dell Studio (Vista Home Premium) and a Hauppauge 2250. I was running 1.03.07 on my old system and client, so I installed the same version on my new system. The installation went fine. I discovered that there was no audio when playing back recordings on the main system, but there was audio when playing the same recording on the client PC.
I did some checking on the forum and found an entry in the 1.03.11 survival guide that said there was a patch that might fix the lack of audio problem. I decided to upgrade both systems to 1.03.11. I also applied the patch. Not only did this not fix my problem, now when I try to exit from Live TV GBPVR hangs on the main system. It only hangs when exiting Live TV. Problem number 1. The client PC (also running 1.03.11) does not hang when exiting Live TV.
Putting the hang problem aside for a moment, I compared the two systems and found that the Dell came with the Cyberlink codec and I have the Intervideo codec on the client. I installed the Intervideo on the main system. Now I get audio when playing recordings, but now the volume is quite a bit lower than it was with the Cyberlink codec. Problem number 2. This is a probem because I have to turn up the TV volume so much, that I start to get a hiss. Is there a way to boost the volume for the Intervideo codec? I used the Hauppauge Tweak tool on my original system to set the volume to maximum. Does the tweek tool work on the 2250 or is there a registry setting?
Any help on resolving will be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to reduce my capture quality (and file sizes)?
I have set the capture settings as low as GB-PVR allows -- 320x240 resolution, 1500 bit rate. I would like to save storage space, and don't mind further reducing video quality, but no lower settings are available. Anything I can do? Thanks.

exception when calling UiButton.Dispose() I noticed the following bug in UiButton.Dispose():
Code:
public void Dispose()

ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
if (this.normalUiElement != null)
{
list.Add(list); // SHOULD BE: list.Add(this.normalUiElement);
}
if (this.selectedUiElement != null)

Here is situation:
I create sheduled recordings, then my HTPC goes in to sleep mode.
When it is time, HTPC wake up to start record.
HTPC is recoding.
Now if i put TV (monitor) on, i only see black screen instead of desktop.
I need to wait until recoring is finished, and HTPC go in to sleep mode, then manualy wake up - now desktop apear.
The question is - is that normal? I there a way how to use HTPC even if sheduled recording?
First off I want to say that this looks like a fantastic piece of software!
Now on to my problem. I installed gbpvr just fine and the configuration went smoothly. My problem seems to have begun when I opened the software for the first time and changed the theme from blue to the other one. (cant remember the name) After I changed that, the program locked up and I had to force quit. since then, whenever I try to launch it, I get a generic error that pvrx2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling. when I reinstall, everything is fine until the very end of the install process and then it gives the same error and closes.
I am attaching the zipped log files and would appreciate any help!
Thanks!
