Hi, I've had problem show up a couple weeks ago on my old reliable system where a tv show randomly fails to record. It creates the mpg file for the show, but it is always 48 KB and contains only the opening frame. It is always when I have several shows in a row recording, and the show after the failure usually works fine.
I have a ATI TV Wonder HD 650 USB plugged into a Acer Travelmate Laptop with 1.3 MHz Centrino, 1.5 GB, lots of diskspace, etc.
The problem started with an old version of gppvr, and the upgrade to current did not fix it.
I've attached some logs and config files -- the example is at 22:00 - The Big Idea ... I restarted the service at 22:17 when I noticed it failed.
I was hoping somebody could help me out. I moved a bunch of movies (ISO's and AVI's) over to a new HD, added the directory to the archive location and then ran sync archived. It had no problem finding the missing entries but it would only resolve the AVI's, none of the ISO's. Am I doing something wrong?
I have managed GBPVR to work with wincsc using the mdapifilter.
My problem is that I can only watch TV on PVRX2 once. If I close and start PVRX2 again the mdapi plugin will not load again so I cannot watch encrypted channels. I have to reboot the computer in order to se TV again :confused:
I have a PVR 150 and a PVR 250 FM in my box. I was using the ir blaster for the last two years and had to disable the 250 to get that to work. I just got rid of the ir blaster (software removed) and reenabled the 250 card.
The Win TV application can see both cards.
However Gbpvr fails to create the file or will create a file with 0 size. If I disable the 250 card in device manager everything works fine in gbpvr. In the log I see
2008-10-10 16:50:07.218 ERROR Failed to get capture filter output pin. This will cause encoder auto-detection to fail
Anyone have any idea what this means? Or more importantly how to fix it.
I havent upgraded in about a year but I think this is unrelated to that since it is part of the core of gbpvr.

I recently switched from yapi2xml to mc2xml.
I deleted the epg and all channels first and then updated. The listings are their and are accurate but the order seen on the TV guide is all over the place. There are bulks of channels like 10-21 that are in order but there are random placement of channels like 22, 5, 6,8, etc.
How do I fix this?
Again, the channel content is correct, just the order is wrong.
For instance it will list:
22 Cartoon Network which is correct but it doesn't appear after channel 21, but instead after channel 45.
btw, like I said, i purged all channels and its data because I don't have that many recordings set so i can i always reschedule them after I UpdateEPG. I am not worried about losing all of my pending and recurring recordings.
Music Plugin is kind of an enhanced database driven version of Music Library.
Main features:
- 4 Views, Folder, Artist, Album and Genre
- Search in all View modes
- Edit Tags
- Create Playlists
- MusicArt thumbnail folders
The database creation and scanning of MP3, WMA, M4A, FLAC and OGG music files will be done upon installation. This will take some time depending of the amount of music files.
For now only Blue and Basic skin is supported.
There are probably bugs...so bare with it.

I've recently got Client mode working on a PC outside the living room. This PC is often used for working at and I like to be able to have GBPVR client running in a window in the corner of the screen, but I'd also like the option to simply click a button on it to launch it full screen (no windows bar, no start menu, exactly like the main TV). This is opposed to going into config and changing things there.
Is there already a keyboard shortcut for this?
Would it be possible to toggle the Windows title bar off the top of the window so that the TV picture is just wrapped by a narrow frame?
