I've had 1.1.5 running in NZ with a PVR150 and PVR150MCE great. I got sick of waiting for Freeview over DVB-T, so I added a Nova-S-Plus to the mix. I had to clear all the drivers during the install to get the Nova visible. All the cards are in the system and all are working well.
Unfortunately, recordings are not stopping. If I'm recording several channels at once, they just keep going until I notice, making 11hours or 21 hours of recordings. Other times, a recording will say it is recording, but stop part way through. Desperate Housewives on 2 (10/3/08) recorded for many hours, but created 12 minutes of viewable program, making me very unpopular.
I added the patch related to the stopping recordings, then noticed the new version. Unfortunately these haven't helped. I've scheduled a couple of daily restarts of the recording service to help stop any runaway recordings.
Until the new version, I have been using GBPVR, since the new version, I've been using PVRX2.
Would a complete box rebuild fix the problem? I've been thinking of a new case that's more appliance-like and could do it all at once. I'd be sad if I did a rebuild and the problem stayed around.

Attached log files include trouble period of last 7 days, but are missing today as machine is in use.

Thanks

When I start up the latest version the CPU almost immediately tanks at 100% cpu.
Even when it's at the menu.

Is my system just not powerful enough to handle the overhead?
1.4 ghz celeron tautlan core.
512mb ram
Falcon hardware tuner card
MCE 2005
Nvidia 6200 PCI

It takes about 3 to 5 minutes for the CPU to settle down.
Then it appears everything is ok.

Hey Sub,

First off, thanks for putting the Settings control on the MVP. There seems to be a small bug when using this feature. If you make a change from Settings on the MVP and try to press select when the OK button is highlighted, the screen does not go away. The change will be saved, but the OK button does not work.

With the new release, some minor growing pains with getting the CommunitySkin ready, and a family member passing Saturday morning (and all the family issues & commitments related to it). My week has and will be kind of spotty to get anything done of value until the weekend. I mostly just have time to read and reply and do some light testing.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi there,
Just upgraded to 1.2.9 and at the same time, unwrapped my new NAS device (buffalo linkstation). I've got a shared folder set up on my NAS to dump media to, and I was hoping I could use it directly for my PVR recordings. Seems I have a problem when the Recording Service tries to initiate the recording:

2008-03-10 21:40:15.570 ERROR [5] Error starting recording: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'S:\video\PVR Recordings\Midsomer Murders'.

FYI - in path above, \\192.168.2.200\share is mapped to S:\

Does anybody know if you can use a mapped drive for the recordings directory? If so, is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks,
Todd

Hello,

I'm sorry if this sounds really dense but I haven't been able to find any information on this.

I have a very cheap DVB-T USB dongle ("Easy TV DVB-T") that comes bundled with a remote. The remote generates keystrokes via a USB HID driver when buttons are pressed in the form of Ctrl+Alt+Shift+<Key>, for example the power button is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P, mute is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M, number keys are Ctrl+Alt+Shift+<Number Pad Key> and so on and so forth.

Is there a way I can bind these keys to GB-PVR functions? I can't find any way of customising keyboard bindings whatsoever..!

I have just a few questions regarding the latest community skin with 1.2.9. Overall, I like the look, but have a few questions. The questions pertain to both my MVP and client laptop.

On the main menu, the selected text is blocky and the smaller text seems to be fuzzy/bleeding slightly.

In TV guide, the show titles are sometimes overrunning their boxes and the channel/call letters are running over each other as well.

The skin has not been tweaked by me to my knowledge and is as it was originally installed.

Screenshots for you..

Hi,

Fresh open, then tv guide, then choose a program and audio plays but it stays in guide. Exit back to menu and program is shown in middle of screen, but I cannot go to just the program on the full screen? Running 1.2.9, was working fine yesterday.

Thanks,
TW

So, I have this card, and have had nothing but trouble. When playing back H264 recordings, they play and look beautiful, but.. eventually the TV signal will turn off - pc keeps running, but kind fo frozen.

When I VNC into the PC in this state - it's just a screen full of corruption. Just before the switch offs, there are event viewer entries saying "couldn't load atombios" and other such things. (GXO: Bios Call failed)


Maybe a complete re-install would help?

Would Vista be a better option (as I heard the h264 accel is only available through EVR - which I think is only Vista) - I have an unopened copy on my shelf.

Maybe it's just the crappy support for AGP by ATI - and the HW accel not being correctly set up (or even disabled in the agp card)

Thanks
