I have a hauppauge pvr350, and am trying to configure the frequencies for all the channels that we have on analog cable (I live in belgium). There's this site from the cable company that says what channel and frequency all the channels use. For example, for TMF they show channel-id 97 and a frequency of 280.25. When I use the frequency in WinTV32 (which comes with the pvr350 card) it works like it should. But when I enter that channel in gbpvr config, I only get snow. Am I right that in gbpvr I have to use the channel id (97) instead of the frequency (280.25)?

Hi

My GBPvr installation had suddenly died after playing around with some utils and plugins.

I trtied to repair the installation to no avail so uninstalled,

However now I cant re-install. it goes through the whole installation process and gets to 100% then just unloads everything and pops up with Installation ended prematurly due to an error?


can anyone help? the other half will kill me if she comes home to see we cant watch TV! :confused:

Gents,

Ever since the upgrade to 1.2.9 I keep getting database locked errors. I reboot the system and they clear for few hours, then they come back.

All of my recordings come up as failed, even though the program is actually recorded (the file exists and is correct). As if it cannot update the database.

I just set the SQL logging to true so i'll post some logs later on today/tomorrow, but I just wanted to see if anyone else is having similar problems. Also, are the SQL log files just in the log sub-directory?

Many thanks

I'm a new gbpvr user, trying to get it all up and running. I think I'm doing a good job so far, but one rather irritating problem is the following. When watching live tv, the image I see when using gbpvr is smaller than the one I see when using the television without gbpvr. In the nvidia driver there's an option to zoom in or out. But when I zoom in enough to make the picture the same size as the original, the menu of gbpvr starts falling of the left edge. Same with the tvguide on the bottom. Is there a way to only zoom the video stream but not the gbpvr-specific screens? (I hope I'm making myself clear, sorry for the english!)

A bit of info: the television is an older crt television, the tv-card is a hauppauge wintv-pvr 350, and the video card is a geforce4 mx440. I know, that's old, but I'm trying it all out before investing in better hardware.

Please post all questions about this plug-in here. Remember to include your the cinema number(s) source/country and any relevant logs.

As always suggestions and comments very welcome.

Hi There

i installed the above version yesterday and what a fantastic plugin.

Imported all my movies and noticed that thier were some showing up in the MovieWiz Manager but didnt show up in the list in GBPVR.

After some reasearch this morning I have found that the affected movies were in the Action/Adventure categorie. After removing them from this they appeared in GBPVR fine.

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem??

Just adopted GB-PVR and MovieWiz as my alternative to Media Center and MyMovies. I like what you've put together. However, one thing I would like to see is an "offline" capability for the titles. As near as I can tell, the only way I can add titles is if they reside on my hard disk. I'd like to be able to add my DVD collection to the list and indicate they are "offline". Perhaps allow for a storage# so if the item is selected, it would instruct the user where the disk is located.

Thanks... looking forward to the next upgrade.

hi all

more posts today, as am bored at work

am thinkign of getting myself one of these popcorn hour thingies, as seems to do what the MVP does, but better, as supports many more formats

but, if i can in fact source one somewhere.. as they seem to be very much in demand.
just wondering if its exactly what im after

my setup at the mo, is i have a pc sitting under the stairs with a dual tv card, a gigibit lan all over the house, and a single MVP on my lone tv in the lounge

very much like the MVP, cheap and cheerful though it is, the mpeg format seems to be what lets it down. changing channels onthe telly is particularly slow, and stops my usual random hopping.
but with the gbpvr service allowin the playing of my music and all my xvids, divxs, iso dvds etc - but again with the mvp havin to transcode this before buning it at the mvp, is the Popcorn hour able to have these things working 'natively' (wrong word prolly) and thus avoid any transcoding, and use GBPVR as if i was using it on the host pc ?

not much good at explain so most likely all that babble doesnt make much sense, if can can extract my question, any answers/thoughts much appreciated

nat
anyhow,

i can't get the analog side of my hvr-1600 to play right in pvrx2. it some times tunes the channel where i get little broken flashes of the picture but most of the time the channel does not even display. the qam digital channel plays back just fine and analog TuningAssistant.exe tunes the channels just fine as well as winamp tv plays back the channels fine.
attached the log so they might help
thanks

What does the "out-of-process" on Misc2 tab setting do ?
