I just installed the latest release of MovieWhiz plugin (v1.0.14.0) over top of previous release. I'm running PVRX2 v1.0.16 installed. The plugin's 'Config' application worked fine, but when I ran PVRX2, an exception was generated. Exception Text is below. Is this due to differences in the database structure? Is there a recommended procedure for upgrading to the most recent version of MovieWhiz? I spent a bit of time getting all the thumbnails and movie details in place, hoping I don't have to start over from scratch.
Any help is appreciated....

I have Comcast Cable here in MN,USA and I was wondering about recoding and viewing the free HD content that they rebroadcast.
What tuner would be needed for this? Would a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1600 work for this?
From Hauppauge's web site:
Digital QAM features
If you are using digital cable which broadcasts digital cable channels "in the clear" (clear QAM), you can receive these QAM channels with the new WinTV v6 application.
Note: not all cable TV networks broadcast clear QAM channels
Note: Vista Media Center does not currently support clear QAM channels. To watch clear QAM channels, you should use the Hauppauge WinTV v6 application.
This looks like what I want to do - does GBPVR support this?
Even though I have teh Youtube plugin enabled, it does not show at all on my MediaMVP. It does show on the GBPVR.exe when I run it on my PC - although it always complains it cannot connect to the Youtube servers.
Hey guys I have a show that recorded today and when I look at the OSD at the top it says its 2:56 long but when I go past that point it still keeps on playing so I know the whole show is there... also I have had a issue once in the past where it recorded a show but it didn't show up in the recordings menu till the next day. I think I might be having a DB issue?
I watch many short AVI files from the digital camera (Canon Powershot) via GB-PVR/MediaMVP. These get transcoded into MPEG-2 when I watch them, and at that time I have to pay the 3 second delay (MVPTranscodePrePlayDelay). If I want to "Play All" again, there goes the system transcoding it all again. And for each one, the annoying delay.
Because of that, I would like to request that a cache be added. I would like to tell GB-PVR how many megabytes of HD it can use for caching transcoded videos, an the path (C:, D:, etc). GB-PVR would then transcode (to MPEG-2) just the first time a video had to be played, and would reuse the converted video in the cache in later attempts. If the cache is full, the oldest entry (oldest in terms of last played timestamp, and not conversion time) would get deleted, and the new video would be added to the cache.
This would eliminate the long delay before each short video, and as a side-effect would also reduce the CPU usage for the machine.In my case, this is really useful because the machine is also an Apache server, network drive server, print server, etc.
I'd like o request that the following be added to the ffmpeg command-line in teh config.xml:
-ar 48000
This will allow videos from cameras such as Canon Powershots etc to be played without crashes on the GB-PVR / MediaMVP.
Without this tweak, even if you have a MJPG codec, the videos will not play. See the thread in the Support area, where I had the problem and had to find the solution.
In respect to future users, I'd like to suggest that this be added by default to teh next release.
Ok - I currently have 4 analogue tuners (2 x MCE500's) in my pc and I'm going to want the same when I go Digital shortly. Is the Nova-T-500 truely two tuners, ie can you record two channels on two different frequencys or do they both have to be on the same sub frequency? (I ask because the pictures of the Nova-T-500 have two chips but look like only one Tuner?)
If they have to be off the same frequency is GBPVR clever enough to schedule recordings so that it uses the same card for channels on the same frequency efficiently?
Does anyone know the filesize of a 1 hour recording at HD directly saving the Broadcast stream?? How much HDD space am I going to be using, I currently get about 2GB per hour at the default quality I use.
I really want to jump on this the second the broadcasts begin but at the same time I don't want to waste money if theres issues recording due to content protection or I'm going to have issues recording 3 TVNZ channels and 1 TVNZ channel? I know it sounds greedy but we watch NOTHING live at present and its not uncommon to be recording 3 channels at once, occaissionally 4 (Although rare).
I have windows XP set to large fonts and icons. However when I'm trying to look at the TV guide, it's just small. Is there any way to make it bigger?
The GUI for PVRX2 (sp?) looks a lot bigger and like it was made for the TV resolution. However I can't watch TV on it, it gives me some error about output settings incorrect.
I have a Hauppage 350, Windows XP, and latest version of gbpvr.
What am I missing? What is the difference between these two programs?
I have a music collection of roughly 8,000 songs. i have had parts of it since the days when napster was originally out. my dilemna is that the majority of it does not have id3 tags at all so using plugins like music library are a no-no. Also, the directory structure is divided by artist with no subdirectories for albums. Is it worth it to start from the beginning and work my way through taggig every thing correctly? If the answer is yes, does anyone have any utility progams that make the tagging faster? i would really appreciate any ideas for making it go more smoothly. i figure i can tag 200 songs a night and be done in not so long.
Also, I do not know how many of you are familiar with Slimm server for streaming music, but i was wondering if anyone knows how i can setup gb-pvr to stream from Slimm server ( a friend would love to stream my collection via Slimm ). If this would require a plugin, i would work on developing it if anyone is interested.
Thank you for any input you wonderful people can provide. Have a great week!
