I've got a weird problem with my yahoo epg. Last week I recorded Man vs. Wild. The guide in gb-pvr indicated that it was a Patagonia show, what recorded was actually the sierra show. I didn't think to much about it until this last Friday. This last Friday the gb-pvr guide showed the show would be the sierras, but it was Mexico. I looked online and the online Yahoo guide for my area showed the correct Mexico show, but the gb-pvr show was incorrect.
PC clock is ok. I compared about a dozen other shows between the gb-pvr guide and the Yahoo online guide and they all matched up correctly.
Any idea what could cause this? Also, is there a way I can edit the shows I have recorded so that they show up in gb-pvr with the correct name?
About the remote that came with my 1600 tuner. Is there a way to make the power button open gb-pvr instead of win-tv?
edit: I found a thread about HIP software, this may solve this issue.
I am useing tvxb for get the program guide for a while now. I did not have Internet for a week and since then I get the folowing Problem:
It reads the tv shows ok, I can see the programms in the list, but then I try to choose one entry I get "no schedule" and only the orportunity to rec 24 Hours.
I have reinstaled the tvxb sw and erase the xmtl file - doesn`t help.
Pls have a look at the attached pic and tell me how I can fix this.
i have the Haupaugee MCE remote, and i want to make changes to the IR configuration.
i was wondering if anyone had changed these. i want, for example, the start button to run the start button, or even use windows key+ Tab or alt+ Tab or even live tv button to pop up GBPVR(PVRX2.exe)
edit: i should note, i'm using vista, if that makes any difference
I want to be able to record things off my virgin cable box (so I need analogue right?) and also be able to watch / record free to air digital TV. Ideally I would like to be able to record 2 digital channels at once. Is there such a card. I've read the wiki guides and am still not 100% sure which is the best card to buy.
DISCLAIMER. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK! IMPORTANT: CHANGING REGISTRY SETTING CAN MAKE YOUR SYSTEM INOPERABLE. VISIT MICROSOFT SITE FOR DETAILS:confused:.
Update: 30/3/2008 - I have uploaded a updated config to which the volume up and volume down buttons should now work in most situations. the volume up and down buttons are translated to the to {ADD} and {SUBTRACT} keys.
I tried using a number of programs including eventghost and Hip and found IR server suite to one of the best. I use a MCE remote with MCE blaster and found it to be reliable in my situation. I found that 'some difficult to learn remotes' were easily learnt using this app making it my choice. It is also easy to use.
The following is based on XP system. I have not tried it on Vista.
Install and run the applications. You will then need to setup the translator. This app is used to translate commands received from the blaster into commands that are sent to the application. It will also send commands to the blaster (which it has learnt from your device remote).
To save you some time, I have attached a copy of the config file which is suitable for MCE remote to control GB. To use it, import the config file using Import under the File menu. Once loaded you should see a GBPVR icon and a PVRX2 icon. If you click on GBPVR, it will display a list of codes (as received by from the remote) and commands that it will sent to GBPVR.exe.
You can add other applications and commands as you choose, but this is up to you.
Click the Start the Translator with Windows checkbox at the bottom of the form.
STEP 3 - SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU DONT INTEND TO BLAST COMMANDS
Once this is done, you can now program commands that you wish the blaster to send to another device. Let start by getting blaster to change channels on the source device using the blaster. To do this, you need to click on the IR command tab to learn the channel button commands. Click the NEW button, Enter 1 into the name field and select the port (I used both). Click the LEARN button and learn using your remote for the device you wish to control. Repeat this for all channel buttons 0 to 9.
STEP 4 - SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU DONT INTEND TO BLAST COMMANDS
Then start the config.exe in gbpvr. Go to the capture source tab and select the appropiate capture source you created previously (creation of capture source is not described here, please refer to the gb wiki). Click the edit button.
Under Channel Changer select ".exe changer plugin" in the drop down list. Click the setting button. Browse to C:\Program Files\IR Server Suite\IR Blast\IRBlast.exe or C:\Program Files\IR Server Suite\IR Blast\IRBlast-NoWindow.exe (I use IRBLAST.exe) and press ok. Enter in the parameters field "-host localhost -pad 3 -channel {channel}" (without the quotes). Note: this set up is for 3 digit channel numbers. You will need to change this for other options. Leave the 2 check boxes unchecked and press OK.
Update/ensure the channel numbers are correct.
Save config.
STEP 5
To check it is all working, ensure the translator is running and start GB, use your remote to move around.
STEP 6 - SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU DONT INTEND TO BLAST COMMANDS
Then go to livetv and attempt to change change channels. This should change channels on the source device using the blaster. The mce blaster leds can only send a short distance, so make sure the led is very close to the receiver on the device.
Alright. Presumably I'm just being very dense, but I'm not seeing what I'm doing wrong.
I want to know if a recording is happening, or going to happen soon. To that end, I went to IScheduleHelper as mentioned by sub in a recent thread, with the intention of wandering through the list of ScheduledRecording objects.
I have references to GBPVRPublic, and GBPVRBackendCommon.
However, when I get anywhere near GBPVR.Backend.Common.ScheduleHelper, I'm told:
Quote:Indirect reference is being made to assembly GBPVRPublic version 1.0.2870.11023, which contains 'GBPVR.Backend.Common.ScheduleHelper'. This Project references a prior version of GBPVRPublic version 1.0.2869.10147. To use 'GBPVR.Backend.Common.ScheduleHelper', you must replace the reference to GBPVRPublic with version 1.0.2870.11023 or higher.
I checked my version of GBPVRPublic against a fresh install, and it's the version from the installer. I'm aware there is a new version of BackendCommon that I should probably try, but I can't see it referencing an earlier version of Public.
The same message appears no matter which class I select in GBPVRBackendCommon.
So - any thoughts on where I'm going wrong? Is it the BackendCommon? Something else? Gremlins?
I have .net framework v2 installed and GBPVR 1.1.5 running fine. However I've since installed some 'new' software for my work which requires .net framework v1.1 and will not run until I uninstall .net framework v2. I see in Control Panel - Add/Remove Software that both versions of the .net framework are installed and I've read that they can coexist so I guess the work software isn't written in a way that it can distinguish between the two .net framework versions. Unfortunately work is the priority so if I can't resolve this then GBPVR may need to go. Can anyone please advise a solution, such as possibly temporarily disabling .net framework v2 when I need to use my work software?
Every so often I pop in here for some help and advice and I am always pleased by the result, so keep up the good work!
I have lived with a couple of problems on my system for a while now, however this weekend saw my Mother in Law babysitting. If I want to take advantage of this situation, I need to make my system more mother-in-law friendly.
The two issues I am having include:
1/ No subtitles working on recorded programs. Works ok on live TV.
2/ I had a ripped DVD in my Video Recordings directory (not Recorded TV). This is just an AVI file. However, the issue I had is that I had to whip out my keyboard to clear the Restart/Resume dialogue as the MCE remote did not work (I could not switch between the two of them or cancel the dialogue).
Please! Help me make my system mother-in-law friendly. I am kinda liking this away-from-the-kids routine so help me out!
Hello to everyone. This is my first post. I've been trying to figure this out for some time now. The answer must be here in the forums but I cannot find it.
Can PVRX2 schedule channel changes without actually having to record?
So I can set up programs I simply want to watch but not record. It must be able to do this (like SKY EPG in NZ) but I cannot figure it out.
I've been using GBPVR(PVRX2) for a few months and I have to say...Absolutely amazing program! With the Web Interface and DJKXML for the TV Guide it's truly a dream come true. I have three LCD TV's with three computers here in different rooms. All I can say is "Unbelievable!". Many, many thanks to the developers and everyone involved.
