version: 1.3.7 (current) on both client and server
Client OS: WinXP SP2
Server OS: Win2k3
I've recently started using PVRX2 as a PC Client using File Sharing and am experiencing an odd issue.
When PVRX2 is executed, the program opens as it should. I am able to select and playback any prerecorded show without issue with fantastic performance. Video is smooth, audio is perfectly synced, and remote control response is instant. When I stop that recording and choose any OTHER recording, I'll get a black screen, but hear the audio playback just fine.
If I then exit PVRX2 and relaunch it, the situation resets, and I can yet again playback ONE recording before the problem comes up again.
In searching posts for others with this issue, questions about firewalls came up. Neither machine has a firewall enabled. Also, playback from the "server" which I also use as a client doesn't and has never had this issue.
Any thoughts or areas to look for?
For logs, should I post the client PC, the server, or both?
Hello, just purchased the pinnacle PCTV HD mini stick, is connects through USB 2.0. Is there a way I can get the gbpvr software to work with this? I'm new to this whole thing. The software that came with the mini stick does not allow scheduled recording. I'm using Windows XP and have all the latest updates. Thanks for your help!
I've had enough with Comcast. Our rates are outrageous. I have decided to drop cable completely and build a PVR. I am building from scratch and have no spare parts. I am hoping to do this as cheap as possible. However I don't want to spend too little and get something that has bad picture or is jittery. I am hoping to have two ATSC tuners to record whatever I can get over the air. I will watch that plus I am planning on streaming from netflix and sites like hulu. I plan on keeping comcast internet and will probably have a hard wired connection to the router.
So how much CPU and motherboard do I need. I would like to be able to record on two tuners (I could drop to one tuner) and watch recorded content at the same time. I had picked out the cheapest one at newegg with an HDMI out but the I read that the radeon 3200 video is bad and I should go with nvidia 9400 or at least 8200.

I can get pretty much whatever thru my wife's school for free. Should I get Vista MCE?
I know on top of this I need two tuners. I'm confused as to why some tuners cost $20 after rebate and some cost $120. I read that with ATSC they should all have the same quality. Do I need one with a remote so that I can have a remote sensor.
What about a remote. I have a harmony 520 that I would like to use if possible. I would need something to control playback and enable FF/RW etc.
I am having trouble and have been scratching my head for a while trying to figure this out. I have a hard drive installed in my NMT and I want to be able to play them through GBPVR so I have a single interface for my wife. Here's my issue:
Currently I'm able to see all of my DVDs but I'm not able to play the ones that I didn't convert to .mp4. DVDs that I backed up to the NMT hard drive so that I could play them with a menu, when I select the DVD, for example [Aliens], it takes me into another window. From there, I see Aliens.dvd. When I select that, it causes the PCH to go to a window that makes it look like it's loading but then it kicks me back into GBPVR. Aliens, in this example, plays fine from the PCH menu as well as from a PC. It's just not working correctly from GBPVR. If I select a movie that I converted to .mp4, those play just fine.
are there any opensource community common plugin libraries?
i know a few plugins are open source, and have a library they give out. but is there an actual detected open source library?
i was going to the media inset (i havent decided on a name yet), but was also thinking about other controls (that should be exactly the same no matter what plugin you are using) eg onscreen keyboard, digit pad etc.
also anyone have any recommendations about the best open source hosting service ?
google code (looks kinda blah though)
codeplex (im favouring this one, just because is more Csharpie i guess)
sourceforge (they do allow a website for the project, but everything else looks out dated)
they all do svn which is the biggy. oh and i was kinda hoping for a feature that would allow automatic updates, so if we publish a update dll the old one could check online and download the latest own (so each plugin isnt referencing an old dll all the time)
In another thread, I discovered a couple of features...

Ok, so when are you guys going to add a setting to flag repeats and not new programs so I don't have to write my own.
I would like to have:
Heroes
Heroes (Rpt)
instead of:
Heroes *
Heroes
I guess One reason I haven't done this is that GB-PVR would actually create two folders to store the shows. Using the asterix, GB-PVR doesn't 'see' it and then both shows get put into one folder.
But that's super easy.
Next, CarpeVideo has created an app that does this next feature and I'm stealing the idea, Brazenly (catch me if you can), where a list of movies are maintained, and displayed as 'new'. After a period of time, the movies aren't new anymore...
I sort of hijacked his thread (sorry) and so I'm here now asking everyone (and carpeVideo), is this for PPV Movies? I don't quite see what this is for.
Well, I got GBPVR 1.3.7 up and running, and I like it very much. I have a general question, plus I have had a couple of crashes that I would like to troubleshoot.
The system: MSI P6NG Neo-Digital mb, 2gb mem, Pentium dual 2.5 processor, 500gb Seagate hard drive, EVGA GeForce 8600 GT/512mb, Hauppauge PVR-500 (dual) and Angel I (dual) tuners.
1. My first DVR experience was with a Pioneer unit that I both liked and hated. It was eons better that a vcr, but the limitations and other things drove me crazy. Video quality was very good, though - even at 4 hours per 4.7gb dvd. Should I get that kind of quality with GBPVR and these tuners? I'm not, yet, but there could, of course, be other problems - cable runs, etc.
2. Last night, and once before, GBPVR crashed while recording 4 streams. The times of the recordings were: 8:00-9:30, 8:00-10:00, 8:00-9:00, 9:00-10:00. The crash apparently occurred around 9:00pm. I am attaching related logs.
I understand that playing MKV files back on the MVP is not an ideal situation and i didnt expect it to be perfect, but after much trial and error im tearing my hair out here!
I have tried a number of different ffmpeg versions and altered the transcode setting with no difference whatsoever. Whenever i transcode x264 MKV files to mpeg i end up with a choppy video. The server transcodes at nearly 2x speed so im sure it not that, and the attatched (or hosted) video file shows the problem
Any suggestions as to what might be causing this stuttering?
I bought this TellStick USB adapter (75 Euro) that controls cheap wireless power outlet on/off devices, that operates on 433.92MHz
I don't know if if the Stick is sold outside of Sweden, but the power devices are sold all over Europe under different names. I think that in UK it is these type of devices. http://www.uk-automation.co.uk/lighting-...8_168.html
There is a .Net wrapper for the driver with a asp.net page the to control the "light switches"
I searched the web and found the Abyss web server that has support for .net2, so now I have a zip, that you just can drop and control the light from a local web page.
I have also made a EWA plugin config file so I get a DeLight tab in EWA that launches the DeLight page so I can control my lamps via EWA.
Cool to be able to control my lights via EWA.

Wife is getting an ipod touch for Crimbo, which means I need to infect one of my computers with iTunes.
Currently my media folders are arranged with WMP11, and previously when I've (briefly) tried itunes I've ende up in a complete mess with duplicate files etc....
If I was starting from scratch I think I could deal with itunes but I've got a 60+GB music library already and I would like to keep using WMP.
Any tips for a happy marrige between media player and itunes, or do I just have 2 copies of my music library one infected with itunes the other by microsoft?
