Now that GBPVR picks up all channel details from all channels I don't need to collect the EPG from all the capture sources. In fact I have configured just one source out of four to collect the EPG. I have also selected the 'complete EPG reload' option. I have just one problem : Times change. BBC in particular changes programs and shifts subsequent times slightly. If I have say 'Star trek' set to record all episodes I can end up with an episode recording at the old time and an episode recording at the new later time. Usually only 5 minutes later so mostly overlapping. Is there an option I can set so that only the newer time gets used? At the moment I can't even tell which is the newer time.
(Better still would be if, on waking up to record, the software checked the channel EPG to make sure the right program was currently showing).
I'm using 10209. When viewing recordings on MVP you can now press the play button directly instead of having to click OK then Select Play menu. However if you press play on a Failed recording then the MVP hangs. I guess it should just alert you that it failed.
I am switching to GBPVR from another program for its HDHomeRun support.
I have an HVR1600 and a HDHomeRun, and am using Schedules Direct for EPG. In trying to specify the lineups for each capture device, I found the following post by Sub in the v1.0.16 survival guide (now closed):
Quote:Multiple lineups with Schedules Direct
For those that have multiple lineups, there is one trick your need to be aware of. When setting up the capture source, in the email field you can do the following to get it to use the channels from only one lineup:
This is a semi-colon followed by the lineup code. This lineup code can be seen on the SchedulesDirect website (shown in the URL when you click the 'edit' button on a lineup).
This having to enter the semi-colon + lineup code is bit complex so I'll eventually add some drop down box that shows the list of available lineups downloaded from the user's account, but unfortunately I'm running a bit short on time so cant do this at the moment.
My question is concerning the lineup code. When I click the 'edit' button on a lineup, I don't see a 'code' anywhere, and I'm wondering if Schedules Direct has changed since the above post. I tried using the "Type" listed ("LocalBroadcast", "Cable", "CableDigital") but it didn't produce any channels for me. It will work if I don't specify the semicolon and extra string, but
I get the entire list of channels from all lineups, and if I delete the extras, they just come back when I update the EPG.
I have been looking in the forums for days now. I am just running in circles--I try this, I try that, but keep being redirected to the same places. I need help.
It is probably just because I do not have the slightest idea what I am doing by now, but I am completely lost!
I installed the program okay. I tried to setup a tuner, I set up an HDHomerun and followed directions on modifying the bda drivers.
I ran the filter.exe, or whatever it is called, and it says that I have two tuners set up.
I think maybe I have more than one problem. I can run the GBPVR program okay, but I get no guide (if I select the listings, the program does not respond and I have to use ctrl-alt-del).
I also can't get Live TV to work. I think it is because I have no guide setup, but I have no idea how to do it. I have read post after post and either I can't figure it out or it doesn't work.
Can I have step-by-step directions on how to set up the guide? I already have a zap2it account set up and configured. I found a link that was supposed to have step-by-step directions but it was dead.
From what I can tell, I am supposed to have an xml file somewhere for the program to use, but how do I get it? The zp2it website gave directions but it didn't work. I downloaded a file and ran it. It looks like a DOS box and very quickly flashes words up then closes. But i can't find any files!
I apologize for not being specific, but I don't even know what to ask. After installing the program, I want to use zap2it with an HD Homerun.
As I have said, I checked the FAQs, the Quick Start, the Survival guide, and tons of other posts, but I am dead in the water. :confused:
If for nothing else, I am very greatful for version 1.2.9 because of the ability to switch between the Blue and Community skins without having to go through CONFIG.
Unfortunately, there are still a number of plug-ins that have problems with their skins in Community. Running CONFIG to switch between Blue and Community takes a long time because CONFIG is so slow and cumbersome, especially on exiting. Now, I can switch between the two versions fast and without exiting PVRX2.
How does GB-PVR provide the web access? In other words what is run when I tick "enable GB-PVR web server" in the config app?
I'm considering using my GB-PVR machine as a webserver for a project of mine and would like to know if it the GB-PVR web access would conflict with other web servers (eg Cassini/Apache/IIS)?
I have been searching for ages, I know its here, I just can't find it.
Could someone please lend a hand.
I live in NZ and have two tuners, one dvb-s and one analoge
I would like to setup gbpvr so it will use either tuner (whichever is available) to record say TVONE or an another channel that is available in both formats.
At the moment my EPG just shows two copies of the same channel which I can reduce to one but how do I get gbpvr to realise they are the same channel.
Many thanks for any help

P.S. Love the new Release. I must admit I have been playing around with other products. but none of them compare.
Most of us have a plethora of remote controls, sky, hauppage, sound system, TV etc.
My missus is driving me nuts over this so I have decided to develop a 'simple' device which will sit in between the Hauppage IR receiver and the PVR card
to intercept the decoded IR signal stream and redirect it to the appropriate devices.
So basically if you push the TV button on the remote it will talk to your TV, or if you push the Music button the remote will talk to your sound system. Possibly the power button on the remote could even turn the PC on or off.
I intend to do this using a small Microchip processor and a few cheapo components.
Its early days yet but I'm looking for some co conspiritors to bounce ideas off and to make suggestions for improvements or added features.
Although I am capable of writing the chip and PC software, and designing the hardware any help or assistance would be very welcome.
So to summarise. A device which a Hauppage IR receiver plugs into, which has a plug to connect to the PVR card. Powered by the PVR PC. LED outputs for all your IR controlled devices. Command sequences if required (ie change sound input source with device select). Programmable from the PVR PC. With learning capability. DIY construction for under £10.
