Hi all I have been messing around with a few different MCE softwares but I keep coming back to GBPVR and I am running across my home network with great sucess. I quite like the interface but there are a few thing I would like that I don't seem to know quite where to find the answers I have searched around in the forums and tried diffferent things but still I am not quite there. I have downloaded version 1.2.9 just to clarify.

1. My remote works really well mce vista remote apart from the backspace command
   
2. what plugins apply to this version
   
3. I want photos to show in the thumbnails how do I do this
   
4. How do I enable the youtube plugin
   

Hi All,

I spent a bunch of time today updating to the latest GB-PVR v1.2.9 and adding the pieces to get an EPG working again. When testing everything, I played some shows I had recorded last week and noticed I had recorded a snowy picture. So I went to Live TV and turns out most channels display clear, but Fox displays with lots of snow. I quit GB-PVR and ran the Win2000 program that came with my Hauppauge 150 card and it displays all channels very clear. Running GB-PVR (PVRX2.exe) shows some channels snowy and the rest not quite as clear as Win2000. I have my desktop resolution set to 1024x768 if that matters.

Help! I don't know where to go from here. I have attached all the log files if they are any help.

Hi all,

Is it possible to automate the transcoding to divx/xvid AFTER comclean?

What I want is to end up with a divx that has been comcleaned without any manual intervention.

What my system is doing at the moment is recording the show, then running comclean and divx converter at the same time on the same recorded file.

So I end up with the original mpeg and a divx with ad's and a mpeg without adds.

Thanks.

Because the GBPRV only shows one TV channel - the last one that WinTV was set to, and that's not the channel I asked GBPRV to record.

All the programs appear on the TV Guide, but when I select any one of them and click 'Watch' I always get the same channel - the last one that WinTV was set to.

If I go to Live TV that same channel is there, and if I click the + or - sign to change the channel there is nothing but static on either side of that channel.

When GBPRV is open I can bring up the Comcast Guide with my cable remote and change the channel that way, but no other way. Seems like GBPRV is reading cable channel 3 as I most recently configured it, but has no ability to change the program.

As long as I use my Comcast remote to tune to the channel I want to record , GBPRV will record the program, but I'm certain thats' not the way it's supposed to work.

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Nick

I've tried searching, googling, I cannot find any answers to this one.

I am running the newest version of GBPVR (1.29 is it?). I am watching simple Analog NTSC TV through Cable. After watching for a while and flipping through channels, suddenly upon a channel change Live TV goes black and although I can change channels, it shows nothing but a black screen.

Update: I've noticed this happens usually when I stop recording something and want to change to another channel (manual recording, or the auto recording it does...)

I can still listen to music or watch imported videos on the hard drive, but live tv goes totally dead.

I'm running an AMD 3000+ CPU with 1 gig of ram and Windows 2003 Server with minimal services running. (All playback when functional is fine and smooth)

The only way I can resolve this issue is by restarting, but with having to restart what seems like every 30 - 60 mins (depending on whats on, what is recording or not), it's getting really annoying

Any ideas?

I have just started using GBPVR and I love it. However, I am having difficulty with playing mp4 files.


At first, GBPVR did nothing when I selected the files from the video library so I started testing in wmp. I got sound but no video. Then I installed ffdshow and the movies started playing fine in wmp. However in GBPVR, I see a picture but no sound. This seems to be opposite of most of the posts I've seen (most get sound but no video).

I downloaded GraphEdit and sure enough, when I open an mp4 file, I get a message indicating that some streams are in an unsupported format. The following image is what graphedit shows for mp4 files:



I'm not sure why it uses the nero mp4 splitter and I've tried many combinations of splitters and audio decoders, but there are too many possible combinations and I hope someone out there can point me in the right direction.

FYI: the mp4 files were originally created to run on my psp so they were ripped in H.264 with AAC sound.

GBPVR has all playback settings set at "system default" and all other features (TV and recorded playback) all work fine.

Thanks in advance

I just tried SkipTool for the first time this weekend... very cool. I've had a few issues however.

First, it does bad things to the MVP when trying to exit it. It's nice to be able to use it from the MVP... I was able to edit my comskip commercials and what-not, but as soon as I exited - bang! MVP rebooted. It starts up again so it wasn't the end of the world, but I thought it strange that just entering and exiting the plugin would make the MVP restart.

Second, the VLC option in the TranscodeQ menu really threw me off. I thought it was an option to use VLC to do the transcoding. Of course when I chose it, it simply started VLC playing the movie... it didn't transcode at all. I guess it's in there only as an example of another executable, like on the wiki?

Third, whether it was firing up VLC or stattik's transcode script, both are launched in the foreground. Maybe this isn't avoidable, but it would nice to have the transcode fired off in the background instead. Thankfully I keep a remote button mapped to do task switching so it's not too tough to give pvrx2 the focus again, but I imagine some people sitting on the couch then have to get up and find the keyboard.

Anyway, thanks again for the nice plugin.

Hi

I'm moving GBPVR, now got new install, new hardware, channels all done.

I dont really want to "copy" all the old settings so is there a way of exportig the recordings and there titles only?

Normally i just take the MPG file and plonk that in a directory but would be nice to keep the names, not overly bothered though if its to risky, the db3 file has the channels as well i think so i dont want to restore that???

Its same version to same version, however its from 2000 to 2003, with different hardware (PVR-USB2 now which seems to have installed on 2003 so did GBPVR).

Ideas??

Ok, I'm usually not a total nitwit regarding computer programs but...

Hope this is not something really dumb but I'm afraid it will be. I have no video card in my computer (it's integrated on the motherboard) but I thought the Win TV HVR-1600 TV Tuner which I installed was the only hardware requirement. I run XP Pro SP2.

Installed GBPVR 1.0.2990, Installed yapi2xml v1.2.6 and created xml file. I installed the .NET 2.0 and the Direct X as directed. Configured capture device and updated EPG. All the channels show up on the list of channels in the "Edit Recording Source" window.

But... when I open GBPVR the TV Guide shows nothing. Says that no channels have been set up, and that I need to run the config utility and hit update EPG - which I have already done. Okay so I do it again but no help.

Only thing that works at all in fact is the Search Guide option, which allows me to scroll through the tv programs alphabetically or search by text. When I click on the show, the information comes up correctly displaying channel, time, description. But if I try to record it says there's a conflict with another recording, that would require the cancellation of another show (not possible since I never scheduled any other recordings).

Also I have no idea what PVRX2 is although in my Start>Programs>GBPVR menu thats the only exe that shows up - I use the GBPVR.exe file listed in the Programs folder because thats the only thing that even remotely does anything, PVRX2 just comes up blank and then locks up my computer.

Here are my logs, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

I cannot seem to get rid of this display when running Live TV...any ideas ???
This happened after I installed the CS3 and Skin Plugin.
