I'm running GBPVR as server running on a P4 2.6GHz connected to the router via wired ethernet and GBPVR as client running on a Centrino 1.5GHz connected to the router via 802.11g

Playback will sometimes stutter. Once this begins it continues forever. Skipping ahead or backwards slightly seems to cure it for the duration of the playback. Simply pausing and resuming cures it but not forever. I realize that wireless could be an issue but the CPU utilization on both ends is 50% or less and the wireless utilization is between 6% and 50%. Note that when it is stuttering, the net utilization is very variable and fluctuates between 0% and 50%. I don't have anything else running that would be using the network. Speed checks to the internet report between 15Mb/S and 19Mb/S so the wireless link would appear to be fine??

Is there a setting somewhere that perhaps increases the playback buffer? Or anything else I can try?

I often (but not always) see conflicts reported when recording back to back shows. Padding is set to zero before and after. This seems to cause a recording to "fail" and then another is started immediately afterwards that succeeds.

Conflict resolution seems to only offer to cancel one of the other.

Is there a better way to handle back to back recordings?

I am upgrading to 1.3.7 and have the error repeatedly when running the installer. The full message is "Error 1316. A network error occurred while attemtping to read from the file ...GBPVR10307(1).msi"

I saved the downloaded file locally. I've tried re-downloading, but with the same error.

Today I can select among a coule of list views in the Video Library. Mainly a couple of Icon views and two different list views.

What I would like is the ability to have a folder view (icons) and a File view (list)
So if there is only folders listed on a level, all is presented as icons and if there is files on the level, the list view is used.

I often have rather long filenames and it is difficult to see the complete names when the files is shown as icons.
But a icon view is nice for the folders, where the folder.jpg is shown.

I am realtively new to this;

I have recently upgraded my computer to a custom built Vista machine so trying to find my way around the new operating system at the same time.


I have installed version 1.3.7 in the default location,
I have succesfully scanned for and mapped the tv channels
The epg is apprently up to date
I added the mvpmc dongle and got the hauppauge MVP up and running it logs in connects to the server
GBpvr works through the MVP, I can watch live tv, see the epg, and navigate around with the remote.

:confused:
I can not use gbpvr on the computer, it starts up, I can scroll around through the main main menu but selecting the tv guide results in a blank screen and having to close the program with the task manager.

Any help would be appreciated?

..and a Merry New Year!

Has anyone created a post-processing utility that will take the alternate data stream "metadata.xml" (attached to a DVR-MS file recorded by GBPVR) and insert the metadata into the DVR-MS file in the native metadata format used by Media Center?

Our family uses Vista Media Center for browsing recorded shows, some of which are recorded using GB-PVR (for one of multiple video sources). However, Media Center does not display the show description or other metadata because it is expecting native DVR-MS metadata rather than the alternate data stream metadata. I was wondering if anyone has coded a postprocessing utility that would insert the native DVR-MS metadata that Media Center wants.

I could do this manually using the DVR-MS editor written by Stephen Toub http://blogs.msdn.com/toub/archive/2005/...16874.aspx
but hopefully somebody has figured out how to do this automagically based on his source code examples:

If I weren't already sleep-deprived I would take a shot at writing one myself, but perhaps this wheel's already been invented?

Hi I have a strange DVD problem.
Whenever I am playing a DVD and I am navigating the menu I can't see the cursor.
I know it's there and I know it works because for example if menu has 4 items and I load the DVD and click DOWN twice and click ENTER it will enter the third item on the menu. But i can't see the cursor moving or whenever it's actually set on something. I hope this makes any sense. I'll be happy to clarify. Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I noticed the other night that a recording stopped prematurely.
Looking at the logs, it appears to be caused by another recording on the same tuner. I have a dual DVB-T tuner. When it stopped normally, it appears to cause the other recording to stop abnormally!

Normal recording: Johnny Cash (TG4) stops at 21:40
Abnormal recording: Ocean's Twelve (TV3) Starts at 21:00 - FIle is only 40mins in duration. Last update on file is listed as 23:35...however obviously no stream data was added after 21:40.

Is this a known fault? I am using version 1.2.13.
