I've been a user of GB-PVR for about 8 months and recently updated windows xp. (May or may not be related.) My MVP no longer connects to my computer. Near as I can figure, the MediaMVP server has gone missing. The shortcut I'd created points to nothing. Everything works fine on using GB-PVR on my computer, but no server is found. The MVP does find the IP address. I've tried installing the new 10209 version, uninstalling all versions (though I don't think this is working, I get an error) and reinstalling. Right now I've got it working fine on my computer but no server. I did try using the Server Checker Utility: it didn't find the server.
Thanks for any help.
I have an issue that after I scan and try to preview the channels, most work, and the plugin locks on the channel. On others, the plugin bounces back and forth between a couple of the channels on that transponder and never just stays on the channel I am trying to test. I looked at it and it only seems to happen if the same show is playing on different channels on the same transponder in which case is bounces between the two shows, even though I only set it to one. The channels have different names and channel numbers, but the plugin jumps back and forth and therefore, never works. I tried to eliminate one channel from the scan folder, but it still does it even if the channel is not there anymore. When I select a channel, where does the plugin get the data from? I figure it is a md issue, but I thought I would ask the great OZ first. Also, on the channels that work, the plugin usually gets the name correct, but sometime it shows some other names instead, eventhough it is on the correct channel. That is not a problem, but I thought it may help in the debug.
I don't know if I am the only user that has seen this problem. I have not seen it posted.
I noticed in your upgrade notes, you mention the db3 database but not the mdb database. Is the mdb database going to continue to be supported, or will it eventually be phased out? Also, if the config is setup to use the mdb database, will the upgrade leave it as is? (I believe I recall a prior upgrade that switched the config back to the db3 database....:confused
I'm having some problems switching inputs on the Hauppauge HVR-1600 card, using the GBPVR software.
First of all, I believe that the inputs are set correctly in the configuration, because video inputs will switch from S or Composite 1 to S or Composite 2. The problem is, using GBPVR, the audio will not switch between inputs 1 and 2. The audio stays on Input 1.
Using the supplied crappy WinTV software, the audio inputs switch fine. Of course, most of the recordings are lost then!
Please note that I am not using the tuner on these cards, as I am capturing NTSC video feeds from some satellite receivers.
Any help would be appreciated. I do not have a log to send you at this time, but I can get one soon.
Just done a clean install - is there some extra package I need to be able to view .avis using the video archive ?
They display fine in VLC, but I get a black screen when viewing in PVRX2 - audio is fine.

I don't know if something like this already exists - indeed may be its an ideal task for a plugin.
It would be nice if, before making config changes, a backup could be made of existings ones that could be selectively reverted to at some future point.
Shouldn't be too difficult I would have thought - but extremely useful and powerful.
... and it would be yet another thing the competition doesn't appear to have.
I use XMLTV GUI to download listings from Radio Times here in the UK, but the descriptions seem too long to display when watching Live TV i.e. some of the information is cut off.
Is there a way to mod a skin file in order to show more text? I had a look at NowShowingPopUp.xml but it all looked a bit too geeky for me (I've had a hard day!!).
I was just wondering if there was a way like a plugin or something that will save the recordings in a smaller file size, as i have been doing a lot of recording and my computer was telling me i was low on disk space, i didnt know why till i looked at the file size of a recording, its what 1.5gb for a file that is 38 mins long, and that doesnt seem quite right seeing as i have full DVD's ripped that are 2 hours long that only takeup 800k ish. Is there any possible way for me to do this?? i have tried lookingall over the place and cannot seem to find something
I just installed GB-PVR for the first time and am trying to watch TV on it, but whenever I try, I don't get any video or audio. I checked my Buffer location on the hard drive and no files show up there. I then tried disabling Live Preview and I still didn't get any video or audio, but it did put a mpg file in the buffer directory that was 0 bytes in size.
I continued to mess around with it, and it did start to show me a few seconds of something (with no audio) on one channel, but it looked like from what I saw the channel was not the one it should have been according to the guide. I did set the EPG according to the wiki (getting info from http://www.antennaweb.org) I had Live Preview disabled when I got it to show that once. I then tried switching the channel which didn't show anything, and when I went back to the first channel, it wouldn't show anything anymore.
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
I have included the log files. Any help would be appreciated.
I am running Vista business and installed GBPVR10209 in passive mode as recommended .
When I press live TV in PVRX2 and GBPVR old gui the program crashes and the useless "PVRX2" has stopped workingista message apppears etc. The previous version of the program has been running fine since September.
