Hi all,

I'm a "brand-new" user of GB-PVR and the Community skin and I find them very great!
But I have a small issue: when I start a music track, let it play and get back to the welcome page (main menu), the track name is displayed in the middle of the selection menu:


Does anyone know which xml file I have to update to move this somewhere else on the screen?

NB: I was able to change the font size by modifying the font value in Community3\baseskin.xml:
<!--Used like GeneralTextHeaderStyle, but with a larger font
-->
<TextStyle name="GeneralTextStyleItalic" color="General" size="14" style="Italic"/>


Thank you!

Just asking a general question; which is more important to achieve smooth HD live tv, cpu speed or high quality videocard?

Quote:Videos Library is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the default video plugin. It includes several enhancements, requires no configuration, and is open source.

Features
*Watched files will appear with a distinct font. A file is considered in progress after it is 10 seconds in, and finished when it is 10 seconds from the end.

*Remembers the on-screen location of selected items when backing out of directories. Also remembers after shuffle, delete, etc.

*The delete popup shows which file is selected.

*Refreshes entries when a file system change is detected.

*Create a text file called “gbpvr.link” with one path per line to merge the contents of other directories with the current one.

*Enable/disable bracketed folder names and individual buttons via config.xml parameters.

Hello, I've had this question for some time now but I've just lived with it. Now curiosity has gotten the better of me. I've looked before but couldn't find anything on why gbpvr still wakes my machine for a recording that I've cancelled. I've noticed this with just about every version of gbpvr I've used. I'm currently using 1.3.11 and it still does the same thing. I'll see that a show I watch normally is a rerun so I will cancel it and even though I did that when the day and time comes for that show the machine will wake up and then go back to hibernate after 5 minutes.

Just put a brand new HVR-1600 into my byopvr system. I've been running GB-PVR for some time now as a home theater to stream movies to various parts of the house.

Here's the thing, I am trying to configure it to run from a Rogers Cable signal.

On Schedules Direct there are 2 options for Rogers Cable for my local area, Analog and Digital Cable. There seems to be a number of QAM channels on the cable as well when I play around.

I've been playing with options (cable hook ups etc) and various EDP options.

Sometimes I get a lot of channels, some options give me completely different channels. The regular cable on Schedules Direct tells me there are 70 channels, but when I load it into GBPVR it leaves out some channels.

I cant seem to get my normal channel list to come up on the system. Is there anyone else playing with this type of set up?

Should I have a cable splitter going and run a signal into both tuners?

Any advice?

Hi Sub, great program. I'm still fine tuning the setup, but it gets more impressive each day. Many thanks!

I'm having a consistent problem with my Hauppauge 45-button remote. Any time I play back recorded material, the remote seems to be ignored until I use the mouse - just once - to click on a skip button or pause button. The remote then works pefectly after that for the duration of watching that video.

If I exit to the menu then start another video or resume the same video, I again need to click on one of the on-screen buttons with the mouse before the remote works again. Just moving the mouse to pull up the on-screen buttons isn't enough; I have to click one of them.

I am running 1.3.11, but I noted the same phenomenon with 1.3.7. HVT-1600, and yes, I did the 45 button Fix and IR restart.

Any ideas? Have I configured something wrong?

OK, with the US doing the whole analog to digital switch I figure it was time to upgrade, even though I didn't really want to.

I had a Hauppauge 500mce that worked great, so I decided to go with the Hauppauge 2250 version. I still use the 500mce for recording from the SAT box, but plan on using the 2250 for the digital channels from free over the air waves (antenna).


So, the problem, installed the new card and drivers, which went smoothly. Had GBPVR (version 1.3.11) scan for Digital channels (Recording Source: Digital Recording Plugin) and it found two channels to start with out of 12 possible (that I know of). Scan again this time it found 4.

So, I did what any one would do, first I messed with the antenna, then replaced the cable all with no luck. Every time I would scan I would get 0 to 6 channels had once. And the channels I would get wouldn't always be the same from scan to scan (even if I didn't do a thing). I would get similar results using the WinTV software that came with the Hauppauge for TV.

After hours of scanning I did manage to get all channels except 12.1 in to GBPVR, but never had all channels listed at once. And for 12.x I just guessed based off of the one's I already had and this link (http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/lin...code=83687).

12.2 T:13,0,0~P:4~V:65~A:68~PMT:64~PCR:65~N:>12.2 KTRV-SD (eng(AC3))

Now if I go to 12.1 in the TV Guild, but it has intermittent sound and artifacting picture.

After fighting it for hours, I decided to try and hook it to the TV (its newer and has digital turning) directly, bypassing the HTPC. It found 13 digital channels and they all work perfectly.

If I turn channel 2.1 with the Hauppauge I get no sound, to intermittent sound and picture artifacts. With the TV's built in turner 2.1 comes in just fine, so with that I know the signal coming in is good enough, so now it just comes down to drivers (I assume drivers since both GBPVR and WinTV end up with the same results).

Has anyone else had a similar issue? Anyone know that my problem is?

Frist, cool utility. I can tell you spent many long days and nights on it. The documentation is great as well. I now have SD dvb recordings in .ts format. I am just trying to get transcoding working to the MVP for the first time. I followed the wiki instructions the best I could. I am missing on where to set "interact with desktop". I can't find where to set that.

Anyway, I tried to view a .ts file from the MVP. I got the "Sorry" video. I then manually launched Ztranscode and pointed to the .ts file and hit go. It transcoded it to mpeg and I can view the file on the PC and during the transcode in ztranscode. When I select the mpeg file from the MVP, I get sound but no video.

Any ideas?

I''m not sure if this has been covered, but the ability to simply edit the recordings database so I could easily edit a recordings title/details and move recordings to different/new folders/drives would be great.

Cheers,
Shaun

I'm running GB-PVR 1.3.7 on a headless server which is controlled only by MediaMVPs or a client PC and Config is run via VNC from a client PC - I do NOT need a remote to control GB-PVR.

To blast my set-top box I tried to use HIP. Configuring it apparently requires PVRX2 to be running but the server's onboard graphics are just VGA and based on an ATi ES1000 so I wasn't too surprised when PVRX2 just opened a "transparent" window frame (across VNC).

Having now added an ATi HD2350 card (at x4) I still get just a transparent window frame! ATi Catalyst reports DirectX at 9.0c on 256MB and dxdiag reports 2D Driver, Direct3D and OpenGL all at 6.14.10.nnnn

All I need is the ability for GB-PVR to blast an SL65 set-top satbox but I seem to be digging an ever-deeper hole and would appreciate a clue or two. Apologies for posting on wrong forum if this isn't a hardware/driver issue.
