I've tried burning some test WinTV mpegs (ATSC) captured with my HVR1600 and wonder what is possible as far as burning to dvd. Seems like most players don't even like the files.
Any ideas of what works best with these files to burn them to dvd?

Have a look at the test on Tomshardware for the latest 780 chipset from AMD. It plays full HD without any problems with the on-board video. This looks to the ultimate for a HTPC.

So, my wife was watching CSI on Spike. But then she wanted to watch Ghost Hunters on SciFi. So she set CSI to record to the end of the show. Then changed the channel to SciFi. I believe she paused the show, so it in Timeshift mode, not LiveTV.

I later exited out of the Timeshift mode to look at the Recording listing (this was after the CSI episode should have stopped recording). When I tried to go back to LiveTV, all I got was a blank screen (OSD was displayed). I restarted PVRX2, still same thing.

So I restarted the recording service. LiveTV works. Didn't think anything of it. My wife finally gets around to watching the CSI recording last night. The timeline on the CSI recording said 1 hour 26 minutes. Well, the show is only an hour, plus there were no commercials removed (comskip runs in parallel with the recording). This was not the PVR150 timestamp problem, as I have the patch for that installed.

But after the 1 hour mark, the recording switched over to the SciFi channel and it was the episode my wife was watching that night.

I have no logs since it was a few days ago, but I just thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone has experienced this before and what caused it.

I have previously used yapi2xml on my XP system and it really worked very well. I had it set to auto update at 6:00 a.m. and it always worked.
I have now intalled GBPVR on Vista and after a number of issues have it working. The only remaining issue is that the epg auto update isn't working. Is this a known Vista issue? I can run it manually but it sure was nice when it did it automatically.

Hi all,

I've read a few threads regarding mapping to network drives and getting this to work.

I have my XP box in my room, The MVP is downstairs by the TV and then also a Fileserver with all my videos on the network.

My videos are sorted in this manner:

//fileserver/Media/Movies
//fileserver/Media/Series/SeriesA/Season1
//fileserver/Media/Series/SeriesA/Season2
//fileserver/Media/Series/SeriesB
etc...

I can add //fileserver/Media to my Video Library Directories and play any video inside this root folder. However navigating to Movies or Series I do not see any files and get "no video files" error.

Is there a way to resolve this? if not is there a way to update the Video Library Directories using a batch process. I would like to run through all the folders in the Series folder periodically and add them to the Video Library Directory automatically.

otherwise its a case of not having any "season" folders and updating the directory manually with each Series.

Thanks in advance.

I realize that PVRX2 would probably not work on something like this but do you think that the older gbpvr would work well on one of these.

I'm considering trying to build basically my own UMPC/PMP out of a pico board and I would like to use GBPVR as a front end on it. I was thinking about buying a raeon everun or oqo model 2 but more and more I'm thinking it might be more of a fun project to buy one of these kits and then mod my own case for it. What do you guys think?

To get smooth DVB-t (freeview) playback i have to set my output resolution to 720x576. Now I have just inserted an ATI3450 I have started to download HD movie trailers. Am I correct in thinking that when I play them back at the resolution of 720x576 they will not look as good as if I plyed them back with the resolution set to 720p or 1080i? If thats the case is it possible to change the resolution of the fly (depending on the resolution of the file being played back) in GBPVR.

Hi,

Running the manager, calling yapi2xml.exe and the enhancing. Just running the grabber manually is successful; it successfully grabs and deposits the xml, but generates an "Error 53: file not found" dialogue box. Clicking on the dialogue box then closes the manager. What file is it not finding?

Thank you for the terrific software!

i installed the latest GBPVR and the latest Community skin and Plugin. Community skin is the current SKIN. The Skin menu shows up on the main menu but when clicked it takes you to the plugin menu that doesn't let you do any thing except escape out of it. When you click any of the plugin buttons nothing happens at all. what is going on? I have completely reinstalled PVR and then Installed both the community skin and plugin just to make sure i hadn't made an error.

Hello,

i understand that this usb card is not widely used... but i have read some threads with some successful attempts using GBPVR.

i love the interface of GBpvr and i would like to get my media center up and running using it with my twinhan starbox..

but im having one issue.
when i scan for channels, nothing is coming out of the scan, i have read these forums for 2 weeks now with no luck and no response in other threads, can anyone help? i am assuming that it is a driver issue... but im not sure at this point...

(im running emunation with it in the MDplugins folder)
