Hi,

I wonder whether anyone has any experience with this MB as a fanless multimedia PC or a GBPVR client.

tmrt.

Will slimm tray prevent ALL standby / shutdown events during recording? I seem to remember a post somewhere that it wouldn't recognize some events but I can't find the info now as to which ones.

This is an update of my GBPVRTray replacement, Slimm GB-PVR.

[SIZE="5"]To install[/SIZE]:

1. Ensure you have installed .NET Framework 2.0. It can probably be installed by accessing your Windows Update or you can follow this download link: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable
   
2. Download and install SlimmGBPVR: Direct download link
   

• Registry setting DeleteComskipFiles removed and replaced with DeleteExtensionsAfterPlayback. This contains a list of extensions that will be recycled by SlimmGBPVR after playback of a file has finished. For example, given the extensions ".log;.fif" and a recording filename of "C:\recording.mpg", SlimmGBPVR will attempt to recycle "C:\recording.log", "C:\recording.fif", "C:\recording.mpg.log" and "C:\recording.mpg.fif".
  
• Added ability to sort lists of recordings. It is used to reorder the items in the reoccurring menu.
  
• SlimmGBPVR now supports gif, png and jpg ChannelLogos. Requested by b00sfuk.
  
  

• /orderby switch added. Requested by liteswap.
  
• /playing switch added. Requested by liteswap. Note: this information actually reports which completed recordings have their files locked. A file is locked when it is being played but it will also be locked when transcoding is taking place or Windows is creating a thumbnail, for example, so it may not always produce the expected result.

For all UK users of GBPVR
------------------------
Play are selling a bargain remote control made by cyberlink for the great price of £5.99
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/6372024/Cy...oduct.html

But is it worth spending so little on a remote to use with GBPVR..?

The answer depends on exactly what you want.

I wanted just basic functionality to assist me in my laziness when watching my PC monitor from afar, but if you want a good remote that you can customize all the keys for - then look elsewhere...

But, dont be put off, have a read of how I have set up the remote using HIP to see if it is worth it for you.

There are a tons of keys on the Cyberlink remote, but unfortunately nearly all cannot be programed. HIP cannot see the keys, niether can EventGhost or Girder4.

You will be left with (as far as I can figure out) 5 keys to configure using HIP - but all is not lost as some of the keys work straight away in GBPVR!

In the centre of the remote are 4 directional arrow keys and a large 'OK' button. These move around the GBPVR menus perfect and also work well in the liveTV with the up and down arrows controling the channel and the left and right fast forward or rewinding - great!

There is a section of number keys which work straight away in GBPVR but because of that they cannot be customized.

You already have most of the basic functions you need, but being able to go 'back' to a previous menu is a certain requirement. Lucky there is a set of 12 keys in a white area of the remote, and very lucky that only one is programable, and extremely lucky is the fact it is labeled 'back. So, using HIP I have bound that button to the 'ESC' key to allow me to move between menus.

Towards the lower end of the remote are the keys 'play','pause' etc, non of which work in GBPVR but do in Media Player - the bad news is they are also not programable. However the 'stop' and 'next track','previous track' keys are!

I have bound the stop key to ^Q which will pause liveTV.
I have bound the previous track key to ^W to flick me back to the last channel watched.
I have bound the next track key to ^G which brings up the mini guide overlay.

Last but not least there is a 'clear' key at the bottom left of the remote, I have bound this to ^K to record.

I now have a large remote thatg does hardly anything at all - BUT it does perform the most needed option in GBPVR when viewing from about 10 foot away from your PC.

At a price of £5.99 it is good value and provides basic functionality, but if the price was any higher then it would probably be worth looking at a better remote.

I hope this review has helped anyone out there who loves GBPVR as much as I do and wants to use a remote but is on a tight budget.

Hi,

Just installed 1.3.7 and im trying to use a cheap remote i bought of the internet with it. However whenever i click the New button in the USB-UIRT window, to start the learning process; a window pops up saying to press and hold 1 and then almost instantly the software crashes with a Windows XP error appearing asking if i want to send the error report.

Any help? :confused:

Hi Guys,

I have a Hauppauge 500 capture card (dual tuner) and have configured it accordingly. However, every time I start "live TV" I get a pop up stateting "hcwirblast.dll cannot be found". If I accept this using my keyboard, the remote works fine.

Any ideas? I have reloaded the hauppauge app several times and searched for the .dll but to no avail

Cheers

I have an analog cable source and digital QAM source coming in to my HVR-1600, so I decided to pull in digital EPG data and then map my QAM channels to the digital equivalents. This clears up the problem of having a digital channel mapped to an analog channel and then having to watch the same channel live in digital and record the same channel in analog because it takes from the top and the bottom of the sources, respectively, for those functions.

So can I change the channel number of the digital channels in the Channels tab to the HD equivalents of the analog channels. For example, my analog channel 8 corresponds to my HD QAM channel 8.1 which also corresponds to the digital EPG data for 702. So I mapped my HD QAM channel to 702, read in the EPG data for 702. Then I would like to use the Channels tab to renumber 702 to 8.1. Am I allowed to put non-integers or . (dots) in the channel field?

1.3.7, XPXP3, Asus M3A78EMH mobo, dual core. Something is interfering with the machine entering hibernation some of the time. It may be associated with running PVRX2, and actually watching a recording, which must set a flag to prevent hibernation. After watching the program, the flag should be reset to enable hibernation, but this may not happen.

However, the machine always wakes up successfully. No failures there.

I understand that hibernate bugs are usually not "real", but I've observed another anomaly that suggests this one might be. Upon exiting PVRX2, the desktop is frequently not refreshed properly. Since both this and the hibernate behavior would be explained by problems with the exit code, this makes me think some objects are not being finalized. This was definitely not extant here with the last release I used (two releases before 1.3.7.)

Any one have one of these cards??

I need someone to measure it if possible, from the base of the board to the top of the heat sink.

I have all my PCI slots full and am worried about the gap between the PCIe 16 and the next PCI slot.

Cheers

I had set it to record grey's anatomy. Has worked up till now.
found this in the logs
something about database locked.
Is this common? Or did I do something to cause it?
All the shows before, and all the shows after recorded correctly.
Using the latest version on xp with 2 of the 2250 cards.
