I know it's been requested several times in the past and declined but just wanted to feel out if there has been a change of heart yet for having a hook to allow launching an external player for PVRX2.exe for playback.

I'm trying to get episode numbers to show up but I haven't had any luck. Is it possible?

I am in Canada using Bell Express Vu satellite as my provider. I use MC2XML to grab my EPG and then I use UltraXMLTV_Enhancer to try to add enhanced information such as episode number, whether it's a new show or a repeat.

I then go to PVRX2 and select the TV Guide but none of the enhanced information seems to be appearing for any of the shows.

Am I doing something wrong?
Is this information available?

I've searched quite a bit here, and I can't find anyone else with this similar issue. I'm using EVR and I've never been able to get the screen saver to work, either the built in one or MLPanel. My TV will just sit there. With my new LCD, I'm concerned with burn in so I've taken to turning it off and on when not in use, but I'd like to avoid that.

My screen saver section in config.xml:

This question is for the QAM side of recordings with an HVR1600.

I've been working on this issue of the posts for about two weeks and I can't solve it. I am hoping that someone can shed some light on this and I preemptively apologize if it turns out to be something that I clumsily overlooked.

On previous release I was able to record about 6 QAM channels at one time; life was sweet. But I upgraded to 1.3.11.... I encountered "channel conflict" when trying to record a second channel of the QAM with same frequencies (ie T:595250,0,0~P:2~V:89~A:91/T:595250,0,0~P:6~V:68~A:72).

After reading the posts and seeing that this problem was unique to me I decided to roll back to the previous working version. Lo and behold no more QAM conflicts... but ... recordings kept crashing and hanging. Reading more posts and applying some fixes recordings kept crashing. So this A.M. I decided to go forward and again installed the current version. I applied one posted fix which seemed like it was applicable to my situation - ref-patch - but its magic was not be with me.

I am again encountering "channel conflict" when trying to record a second channel of the QAM with same frequencies. Has anyone encountered this situation and if so can some light be shed on this? Thank you for your help.

Is there a way to disable the automatic epg update? It all works fine but I don't want the pc waking up to do the update as it stays on (please don't advise different ways to make the pc go back to sleep - it all works fine as it is). All I want to do is update the epg manually when I wish.

Playing H264 mkv files I have a problem with the soundtrack being several ms out of sync - enough to be noticeable.

It is possible my system is not powerful enough - 3GHz P4 with HT. 1GB ram, radeon 9200.

But could be something else. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan

My OS partition is normally only about 4 to 5 GB once I have a tidy up, I've been looking around for a piece of software that will boot off a USB stick and do an image of the C: drive onto the same stick, preferably with as few steps as possible.

At the moment I use Gigabytes xpress recovery which is good, but it stores the image on the same physical disk so its a bit risky.

Can Acronis do what I want? Anyone know of something like this?

Hi,

Every once in a blue moon, I will come home and my computer will be on stuck in boot up. I leave it on 24/7. I just cannot figure out what is causing it to crash and, furthermore, why it crashes in such a way to get stuck at boot up. When I power it off and back on, it boots up fine.

Oddly, this happened with my old computer and is now happening with my new computer (all completely different hardware except for the hard drives).

With two different sets of hardware, I'm left wondering if it's the software that could somehow be causing this?

I'm attaching my logs from the day it crashed recently (2/2/2009) and the day before. I noticed a lot of ERRORS in the PVRX2 log, but don't know if they're important.

Anyone have any ideas? I would be forever grateful! I hate, hate, HATE coming home and finding out that my favorite shows didn't get recorded because of this. :confused:

P.S. the specs listed below were my old computer, although I'm using the same tuner.

I've been having a recording service error that occurs sporadically and I haven't seen this in the forum anywhere.

I'll have a program scheduled to record, and when the proper time comes the recording service says its recording. However, the program doesn't stop recording when it's supposed to, and telling the recording service to restart or stop has no effect. The file I end up with won't play in GBPVR or in Media Player Classic (in GB-PVR it acts like it's going to play, then just exits back to the main menu).

I've noticed in my event logs that .net 2.0 is having some issues:

EventType clr20r3, P1 gbpvrrecordingservice.exe, P2 1.0.3299.13249, P3 33, P4 system, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 471ebf0d, P7 39e1, P8 55, P9 system.invalidoperationexception, P10 NIL.

I'm fairly new at GB-PVR, so I'm not even really sure where to start or what logs to look at...can someone help please!

Hi sub - I may have a process that can transcode freeviewhd files to something that the popcorn can play.

I'll perfect then post. But a question.

If I transcode a file to mkv from ts, and remove the ts, will the recordings db find the mkv file or do i need to update the db. Similar to mpg/avi how the db looks for both.
