I was testing suspend/resume with GBPVR live tv in the background of some other windows. When I clicked on the GBPVR display to bring it into focus, it disappeared with no error.

Below are the logs leading up to the crash. I note the memory error at the end, and I've tested the memory on that machine before, but I can do it again.

gbpvr log:

So i'm sure this is a great program. In fact with all the problems i'm having it's still the best i've found. Perhaps it's because i'm new at this, but i have no idea. So here are my problems...

I have Comcast digital cable (at least it says it's digital) hooked from a RCA out on my Motorola DC700 STB to the SVideo input on my HVR-1600. I'm pretty sure i get all the channels i care about (2 to 71), but i can not get GB PVR to work properly. I'm using the YApi2XML EPG (both CT TV and Schedules Direct did not work at all) and it kinda works.
But when i go into the guide and select a show, it will say what i've selected at the bottom, then type in a number at the top, then change to a completely different channel. Just like in this screen shot...

you can see i'm trying to watch X-Files (which was on channel 32) then it types in 18 (at the top) but changes the channel to 102 (you can see behind the title and time bar)
So to me that seems very messed up. If i choose something different from the guide, it types a different number but still never what i select.

Also if i use the Happauge remote to manually type in a channel number, it will go to that channel. WTF.

My second problem is not quite as weird. When im watching something in normal tv mode it's in a small almost 4:3 box with large boxes on the sides, but when i change it to Time Shift mode, then it fills the whole of my TV screen. if i change the channel, it goes back to small again, then i switch to Time Shift mode and its full screen again. I assume this has something to do with the way it's recording, but for the life of me i cant figure out where this configuration is.

I appriciate any help anyone can offer. i've been at this for about 2 weeks and have made little progress. Thanks for reading.

Ok, here is my scenario.

I currently have two cards, one Hauppuage 150 and one Hauppauge HVR 1600, both being directly connected to the cable jack hooked to Medicom cable. I have only the HVR 1600 running analog right now because I need to get another splitter to get the 150 going. I also have a Mediacom digital box located downstairs that I could use also. I was wondering:

A) how do I get the dual tuners running at the same time on the HVR 1600 so I can pick up HD over the Antenna and then analog cable? (be very detailed on how to do this.)
B)how would I have my schedules direct setup so I can run basically three tuners at the same time?
C) would it be wise to use the Mediacom box for better picture quality into the s-video for my analog, or does that even matter?
D)Any other suggestions how to set these puppies up?

I thought since I didn't find much on this under any other posts and what I did find was scattered, this could be great help to someone searching the forums for help with setup for the HVR-1600 all in one post.

(FYI I have the HVR-1600 that DOES NOT have QAM)

Hi-
Once in a great while, when I reboot my server and it loads back up, GBPVR will undergo a re-installation. I have my GBPVR installation on the E: drive and my OS (Win XP Pro) is on the C: drive so it will usually install on the C: drive and obviously screw everything up. I simply fix the issue by going to Add/Remove Programs, choosing GBPVR, uninstalling, reboot, re-install GBPVR to the E: drive, restore config.xml, gbpvr.db3, gbpvr.mdb and then I'm good. How can I prevent this from happening?

The only reason I can see this happening is if the OS doesn't see the E: drive on bootup, but it's there everytime I check and this issue doesn't seem to happen the other times I reboot my computer. Any suggestions?
Thx,

John,

Any chance you can make it so that we can change the number of "Recordings to keep" through the WebAdmin. I know it can be set when you add the scheduled recording. Unfortunately I cannot seem to update it after that.

Thanks

My sister is on holidays and she asked me to record The Oscars for her while she was away. Usually I would burn what she wants to DVD so she can watch it at home on her TV instead of on her laptop.

This time around I thought I would try BurnDVDX2 to do my DVDs instead of just firing up Nero and doing it manually.

So it works great, I love the fact that I don't have to exit GBPVR to create my disks now. It created the DVDs for her other requests fine.

But the Oscars ran about 3:30 hours, and the file generated won't fit onto a single DVD. So I had to split the file manually using mencoder (from this post http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=22060) and then re-run comskip on the new files. Then use BurnDVDX2 to make my DVDS.

So after that long ramble, is there a way to do this in BurnDVDX2?

Sorry if this has been addressed but my searches haven't provided any clear answers. I have archived family videos (DVDs) onto the computer in iso format (if anything happens they're ready to re-burn). Anyway, I've decided to add the iso family videos to the Video Library.
While in the PVRX2 interface I select one, daemon tools mounts the image, and I'm asked if I want to play the image in PowerDVD or Media Player. I select PowerDVD and it then loads and I watch the iso through Power DVD. What I'd prefer is to never leave PVRX2. Can I somehow watch the iso directly through PVRX2 instead?
I've found a couple plugins mentioned (MovieWiz & XDVD) but I'm not sure those are really what I want.
I appreciate any feed back...and thanks for the great program!

im having trouble with the automated installer/repair starting when i do certain things the first time i noticed it was when i tried to re-register filters from the start menu. ive been making lots of changes lately and im not sure whats causing it. the logs are from when it happened when i went to play netradio even with the error the radio played.

I'm not sure if it's PCMagazine or PC World magazine but they had a list of the best "free" software around. In the video section they listed MythTV and that's it. I was like "hold up, you forgot GBPVR!"

I would like to protest. :p

I'm a big linux fan and everything, but getting this video stuff to work is bad enough on its own, but when you also have to battle bad linux or unavailable linux drivers and codec it's hell. That's why I went with GBPVR instead of any of the linux variants.

The tweaker is working fine - so many thanks.

My situation has changed a bit and now I use a dedicated PVR server without all the bloat that was building up. The box is tucked away and has lo-res onboard video with no keyboard or monitor.

What I would really like is to be able to use your episode tweaker on a client machine using the server shares to access the real data. At the moment I have to remotely login in, but the screen area is a bit limited and VLC doesn't work too well for viewing the episode.

possible??
