I have read through the wiki and I think I have everything set up right but I get nothing when I click 'Live TV'. The screen blinks but nothing changes. I have GBPVR 1.2.13 (latest) which is being used with my ATI TV Wonder 650 PCI card. I'm sure this is not enough information to solve the problem but I'm not sure what else is needed. Let me know and I'll be happy to supply it.

Hi,

I get a 500.19 server error when IIS is parsing the web.config file.

Here's the complete error message:
Module IIS Web Core
Notification BeginRequest
Handler Not yet determined
Error Code 0x800700b7
Config Error Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key attribute 'name' set to 'ScriptHandlerFactory'
Config File \\?\D:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\web\web.config

I've tried a few tricks I found on google about modifiyng applicationHost.config file but nothing so far.

Anyone got this error and can share a tip?

Thanks

I thought I would add this here (probably should put it in the WIKI)...

I just changed TV providers here in Canada to Shaw TV. The reason was, they gave me an HD STB with a PVR built in. So.... my dilemma was, I only have a PVR150 in my PC hooked to GBPVR, so I can't record HD, but I can on the STB PVR. But... I like setting my recordings up using GBPVR and I have MVP's setup at my other tv's so...

My solution was to setup GBPVR to handle all the scheduling, but when I record on an HD channel, have the STB PVR record the program. So, how do I do that?

Configuration:
GBPVR
USBUIRT
HIP
SHAW (STB) PVR

First I setup HIP to send the record command to my STB using the USBUIRT. I configured the 'r' command (you can assign any key in HIP, I used 'r' for record) to send the 'Record' IR command.

I created a parallelprocessing.bat file in the GBPVR directory that looks like this, explanation to follow:

======
if %2 GEQ 200 GOTO CHKHI ELSE GOTO DONE

:CHKHI
if %2 LEQ 228 GOTO HDREC ELSE GOTO DONE

:HDREC
cd "C:\Program Files\HIP"
hipsend r 500 0 1

ONE
cd \program files\devnz\gbpvr
=======

All my HD channels are found between channel 200 and 228 and I only want to have the STB PVR record when using an HD channel so, first I check to see if the channel is Greater Than or Equal to 200.

if %2 GEQ 200 GOTO CHKHI ELSE GOTO DONE

So, if the channel is more or equal to 200, goto CHKHI and see if it is less than 228, otherwise done. Next section.

:CHKHI
if %2 LEQ 228 GOTO HDREC ELSE GOTO DONE

Use this to see if we are less than 228. If we are then we are for sure on an HD channel so goto HDREC, otherwise done. Next Section.

:HDREC
cd "C:\Program Files\HIP"
hipsend r 500 0 1

The only way we get here is if we are on an HD channel, so use HIPSEND to send the 'r' command. (This sends the Record IR to my USBUIRT).

Voila, recording in HD!

The only trouble I had was HIP didn't seem to be getting the command
Turns out you need to let the GBPVR recording service 'interact with desktop'. To do this, go to the services tool in the Admin Tools of Control Panel. Right mouse click the GBPVR recording service, select properties then on the Logon tab, check the 'Allow service to interact with desktop' box. Apply and restart the service.

Now I am recording the HD channel on the PVR and with GBPVR, but for me that's fine as I may want to watch it in another room on the MVP and so having it on both systems is fine. I am thinking that if I find I am always watching the HD recordings on the STB PVR then I will add some code in Postprocessing.bat to delete recordings that were done from the HD channels... we'll see how it goes!

Here is an interesting little problem I'm having with my HD-PVR and aspect ratios:

I have channels that have not been converted to HD yet, example Sci Fi.

When watching Stargate, it was filmed "widescreen", like an HD format.

Now, on my HD TV, watching this results in a pillar box effect. It's like HD, down converted to Analog, and back to HD since.

"Fill" doesn't work, because it is filled because my cable box is upconverting it to HD.

I need a "zoom" that's just enough to get rid of the black bars all the way around. I looked at the wiki and am willing to try, I'm just not very good with this type of thing. Am what I'm proposing possible?

I am troubleshooting a problem with my DVB-s not tuning certain channels. My first suspect is something to do with the provider moving channels and transponders around. I tried re-scanning but it made no difference. Anyway, all this to say - can I delete the SCAN-cache files in the BDA directly and rescan without screwing up or breaking anything?

Hi, guys:
I am a newbie to the whole GB-PVR scene. I was very excited to learn that you can run emulators off this nifty program. I have downloaded the latest GB-PVR and Gamezone, in attemp to run Zsnes and Mame off the program. However, I every time when I set up the rom path, a system error msg box pops up. below is a attachmen t cintainubg a copy of what shows up in the box.

Please if someone can help to point me to the right direction, I would truely appreciate it. Thank you for reading this.

Has anyone used the "Hot Link Pro Remote Control Booster System" or some flavor thereof?

I have been thinking of getting one for my parents, and I was wondering how reliable it is (I trust people on this forum more than anywhere else on the internet )

Thanks!

Hi there,

I've been successfully loading my progamme details from an xml file scaped by XMLTVGUI from Digiguide.

Suddenly, I have 'no program details' fro all channels.

My little update batch file seems to be working ok but it's suddenly getting through the 'update EPG' part too quickly (normally takes a few minutes),

Can you help at all?

I attatch my latest logs.

TIA Steve

Having done an upgrade from a reliable working vanilla build GB-PVR v1.1.5 (using the gbpvr.exe) to GB-PVR v1.2.13 I now have a problem where when the machine has come out standby to record a scheduled program (which records fine) and I wish to view something I only get a blank screen which, in the old version would refresh once I moved the mouse, now I have to kill PVRX2 and restart it. I have searched the forums to no avail can anyone see anthing unexpected in the logs I created in this test, I don't want to have to roll back.

I set up the machine up to do a test recording (The Real Monarch of the Glen_20080905_19001930) which started fine as normal I then tried to use pvrx2 at approx 19.10 which I had to kill as expected I then shut the recording service and copied the logs. Also included a copy of config.xml

Any help always appreciated.

I have a HIP command embedded in the ParallelProcessing.bat file that doesn't seem to run.

If I run the batch file from the command line it works fine, but when it kicks off as part of starting a recording, I get nothing. I know the batch file is running because I added a couple of MD (make Directory) commands in the batch file to give a kind of crude log of progress through the batch file.

Can anyone think of any reason why this might not be working?

I am using the USBUIRT for channel changing and sending the HIP command. I am wondering of the USBUIRT is still 'held' by GBPVR while it is changing the channel and so HIP isn't sending it's command? Is parallelprocessing.bat run after the channel change event has been sent to begin the recording or it is before that?

Any insight would be welcome.
