I have never had much luck with the internal TS reader... it used to skip during playback. I always disabled it.
However I get the same behaviour whether this is set to internal or external in the v1.3.7, that is audio but no video. Is GBPVR ignoring this option and always defaulting to internal?
I started with a 750 gB disk, which has now filled up. I just added a 1TB disk, but have belatedly realized that GB-PVR does not currently offer a way to have an active "recordings" directory on more than one drive.
gbpvr install ened with error "send error report to microsoft".
also if i try to run config afterrward than it ends with "encountered problem error.
both logs have same error message "ERROR [1] System.ArgumentException: Font 'Microsoft Sans Serif' does not support style 'Regular'."
Since I am new at this I expect it may be something simple to fix; I hope.
the last install log: GBPVR.exe.log is as follows:

First, MixMan, how about a new section in 'Plugin & Skin support' for your plugins and skins?
It is tedious to find an specific answer when you have to browse through more than 10 pages in one thread (the one in Community announcement). So therefor I'll start a new one here with my small problem.
I use the Music plugin in Folder view and it is shown in a list.
I have two issues here. One is more general and it concerns the icon 'Unknown.jpg'. That one is shown at every node in my list, even as icon for Back (...). This seems universal and it would be far better to have a specific 'back' icon.
The other problem is that this unknown.jpg is the only one shown when I use the list. Why can't the list show very small album/artist icons, as it does when you use any other view?
I noticed that my Philips TV pulls in a lot more digital stations. If the CRC options in the BDA "advanced" menu are disabled, Config then crashes when it reaches a nonblank channel.
I've been doing this during a rainstorm, with an amplified attic corner reflector UHF antenna. These conditions could be considered borderline weak signal, but the Philips pulls in the stations just fine.
I wonder if the superior ability of the Philips relates to handling bad CRC more gracefully? Is there anything you could look at?
I'm not using NetFlix yet, but definitely want to include it in my GB-PVR system when it's ready to go live (soon I hope). All this talk of silverlight, new drm, etc. has me worried though.
If I understand correctly, the NetFlix plugin depends on the 'old' netflix format using wmv files which are simply played through whatever renderer you have specified in GB-PVR - it's done in a 'proper' graph sort of way. You can stream to watch now, or download them to watch later. It all works the way it should, and can also work with a PCH.
With this new silverlight thing, all the NetFlix plugin can do is launch a browser to watch a stream through the embedded silverlight player; all the playback is done outside of gb-pvr. Movies can't be download. It won't work with PCH, unless and until Syabas adds silverlight support to the device.
Do I have all that right?
I'm concerned then that soon NetFlix will force Silverlight on everyone, somewhat breaking the full functionality of the plugin. I don't even have a NetFlix account yet, I'd be signing up strictly to use it with GB-PVR (I have precious little interest in the actual DVD's by mail part; been there done that with Blockbuster). Are they already putting new signups on Silverlight?
Am I worried for nothing? I just don't want to depend on the use of NetFlix and then find out it will soon be largely broken.
i tried multi-record on ATSC 56.1,2,3 and 7.1,2,3 and every time it starts using the second tuner. when i'm trying to record the third subchannel i get the error with no tuners available. i did select the TS mux and multi-record box. i get the ts files in the directory and can play them back just fine in my avi player but the playback in the pvrx2 interface fails (either crashes or blinks for a second and returns to the playback menu as before selecting the play option). using GBPVR 1.3.7.
After upgrading to 1.3.7 I couldn't see PVRX2 in windowed mode.
I noticed that CURRENT_USER\Software\devnz\WindowHeight and WindowWdith were both 0, and WindowPosX1 and WindowPosY1 were some large numbers.
I tried to reset these but found after struggling and pulling out my hair, found out that PVRX2 must be closed before changing the registry settings, otherwise PVRX2 resets them to the 'wrong' values. There might be another way solve the problem, but this worked for me.
Try these values for a start.
I managed to get closed captions to work on gbpvr using the intervideo nonCSS deocders and hauppuage hvr1600 and its been working out great for the last few months.
Lately I decided to setup a client gbpvr system so I can use it as front end in the living room.
At first I found the intervideo nonCSS decoder from the backend, made a copy of the .ax files and register the .ax files on the client machine. I set client GBPVR to use these decoders and setup the client to use streaming.
I tried it and all I get is a black screen, not even audio. I waited for bit, hoping it was just trying to buffer the stream but nada. *Firewalls disabled on both machines* I decided to use another video decoder on the client to test, the MPV decoder and that worked fine, I was able to see video and hear audio but no CC. I also tried ffdshow but it only play about few seconds of the recording before the playback freezes and forcing gbpvr to quit.
So I was wondering is there something else I need for the intervideo nonCSS decoders to work, does it need the hauppuage hardware card for it to work.
Server specs:
GBPVR 1.3.7
P4 2.4ghz
2x256MB total 512MB SDRAM pc133
Nvidia Geforce 6200 AGP 256MB
Hauppuage hvr-1600
40GB hard-drive
Recordings being stored on 2TB File/web/mail Server on local network
Client specs: *btw its a test system*
GBPVR 1.3.7
Celeron 1.4ghz
4x128MB total 512MB sdram pc133
Nvidia Geforce 4 mx420 64MB
Worn out seagate 80gb drive
Streaming I have also tried filesharing.
Any help appreciated.

p.s I'm also having issues with firewalls between the two machines, anyone know what ports need to be open?
What is the best way to monitor CPU utilization during playback and recording?
With ffdshow it's so easy to use the the OSD to get the CPU utilization on screen but are there any other codec independent tools that can do something similar?
