1. Down the road, it would be really nice to have the ability to choose which channels display/get EPG data. Like make it an option in the Settings menu.
In the Config app, where you check/uncheck which channels are available on each tuner, but have this ability to do it within PVRX2 using the remote. I was playing around with MCE in Windows Vista and saw how they did it and thought it would be a great feature for GB-PVR... especially since Zap2it/SchedulesDirect like to keep adding additional channels to my lineup about every week. I can remove them using SD's web interface, but then I have to go into config on my dedicated PVR and remove them there also or we'll see that msg like "No listing info found."
2. Oh and another vote for displaying Tuner status (in the System menu?) like what you get when you double click the icon in the systray.
I've got a really weird bug. Recordings won't stop. I upgraded to the latest 4.2 Hauppauge Driver on Thursday and at the same time I upgraded to the newest GBPVR. That evening Most of my recordings didn't record because The Simpsons never stopped recording, despite having four tuners! Since then I've uninstalled & reinstalled every combination I can think of. Each time I seems to be fine until suddenly something triggers the bug and the recording service screws up. I'm currently back to the 4.0 version for Hauppauge and 1.1.5 of GBPVR after a system restore to before thus in the hope it would all be working again... it's not. My test recordings were fine the Simpsons recorded perfectly but now Fifth Gear and Numbers are still recording.. ergh 1 hour 17 and 17 mins after they respectively supposedly stopped! - Fifth Gear finialised as a recording. but numbers is still locked.
Symptoms of the bug seem to be:
The recording service freezes - shows don't stop recording, live TV never returns to sleep, attempts to restart or stop the service bring up an .NET Framework "Unhandled exception" error.
Once the rec service goes it's gone. Other shows never kick in to record despite tuners being free for them.
Some shows finished recording - the files are playable outside GBPVR but are still shown as recording while other show as still recording and indeed are - 4 hours AFTER the Simpson's had finished in one case!
A reinstall of GBPVR does nothing yet an complete reinstall of Hauppauge drivers the GBPVR fixes it for a while.
The logs seem to show the recordings as having finished...
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before but I haven't had any luck using the search facility.
I've recently bought a 22" Samsung TV which I've got hooked up as a second screen and GB-PVR works great with it. However, there are times when I'd like to start GB-PVR on my 24" Mitsubishi monitor (first screen) and I was wondering if there was any easy way - maybe using command line switches? - to have 2 icons on the desktop, one start GB-PVR on the first screen and one to start it on the second screen?
I know I could have two copies of config.xml and a batch file to swap them before running GB-PVR. Or I could write a small app that modifies config.xml before running GB-PVR, but I was hoping there might be an easier, more elegant solution.
I have a AMD 1.9GHz processor with 512K RAM (I know, pretty low end system) with a HVR1600. I currently have a NVidea 4200Ti video card. My ATSC HD channels come through choppy and i am wondering if I can fix this by upgrading the video card or if my system is just hopelessly underpowered. My CPU runs near 100% when I am watching live HDTV. Low def stuff runs/records just great. Any suggestions on a CHEAP graphics card that might help or other experience with runing HD on a low end system would be appreciated. I do not want to spend much money but am hoping I can get HD to work.
On 2 different Vista machines I'm seeing these errors upon boot up. I've had them about a week but since it didn't seem to effect using GBPVR or any other program, I blew it off but now that I've tried to work with it, I'm curious as to why I'm getting this error.
OK, so I get my date out of the database into a Date variable. I want to use that variable in a second query comparing that date to other dates in the database.
During debug, when I inspect the variable, the date format is different than the date format in the database. I think that's why the query fails...
When I worked with vb6, I just read everything as strings, and compared that way... But I know that if I use the date type I will also be able to add and subtract days and hours and time much easier than parsing the string into isolated date variables (year, month, date, etc...)
Hi, I am trying to get the GB-PVR to work on my Leadtek 3100H, but I have failed so far. The configuration is a bit complex at the first sight, but I think I am trying to do it correctly. However, the digital TV card list contains only Leadtek 2000H and similar. I have tried to use that, but the GB-PVR only tells me that there is no such card in my PC. Is it possible to run it in a different way or do I need to hope in a new version with 3100H support included? (Pretty please )
I was wondering if anyone else had come across the situation where every time you run PVRX2 you get the "Please wait while Windows configures GB-PVR" dialogue box, followed when you go to live TV by a message that signal strength and quality is non-existent, despite both readings showing totally green bars, and good quality picture behind the dialogue box. The signal indicator disappears as soon as you change channel.
I don't know what logs may be helpful here, but have attached a couple.
My PC is an Athlon 64 X2, 2gb RAM, an nVidia 8400 GS video card, running XP Home, SP 2 and all updates, and Direct X 9 (10 caused issues before with VMR 9 sometimes). I did a clean reinstall of XP yesterday because of problems with the nv4_disp.dll from the nVidia driver, and that problem seems to have been solved, but this is more of an annoyance rather than serious snag, but it would be good to be able to fix it.
Unfortunately I'm not particularly computer literate, so sometimes need things explained to me in words of one syllable.
