I added a second capture device a month or so ago (a DVB USB stick), and since then I've noticed a couple of oddities when I record two shows at once (I believe this is the only situation when the second device would be used).
The programmes are often (perhaps always - can't be sure) listed as manual recordings - they usually have the programme name, followed by "_manualrecording". And, when viewing the recording details, there's none of the information from the EPG included (channel, description, etc).
I'm wondering if I need to use a second EPG file (I use XMLTV) for the second device - I currently have both devices using the same EPG file. Or is this a red herring, and it's something completely different?
While trying to get my HVR-1600 to work I over-wrote the qam.ini file in BDA/Atsc directory. Now I can't get back to where I started, which was marginally better (gbpvr detected the channels but nothing would be displayed) Could someone please post this qam.ini file? I'd prefer not to have to reinstall everything. Thanks.
Hi all just signed up and very excited about this new technology. I have two
questions, 1. Can I not just watch TV from a direct connection from my DishNet receiver without the need for the EPG setup, I can do this with WinTV that came with my Hauppauge 350 and then record TV manually.
2. If I pay for a listing service will they be able to list channels for the DishNet TV programs. I find all this EPG stuff a bit overwhelming for the time being and would just like to view and record manually if that is possible.
Thanks Dave ...
Im new to GB-PVR and UbuRadio and im running in to a problem.
When i start GBPVR.EXE and select Web Radio i get this message:
Error: Skin file not found: ./skin/blue/Common Dialogs/Prompt Box Skin.xml
When i use pvrx2 and select Web Radio it doesnt work and i dont get a message at all.
Net Radio works just fine.
There's another with a problem of finding files on the forum and i tried the copying of files from .../gbpvr/skin/blue/UbuRadio/*.* to ../gbpvr/skin2/blue/UbuRadio but it didnt work.
Maybe there are people with an answer to my problem?
I'm in the US at the moment, and was surprised to how many google ads are presented for CT TV Listing. Back home in New Zealand I've never seen one of these ads, but here in the US it seems to be nearly every ad presented.
For you guys in the US, I assume you see the same thing? and if so, has it been this way for a long time?
I'm new to the forum, so hope I'm posting this in the correct location.
Can anyone tell me, please, does the GB-PVR software work with the Hauppauge HVR-3000 card and is there anything specifically I should know about using this software instead of the software supplied with the card, which quite frankly is a mess.
hi guys. i've written DVDs of my kids that i've burned back onto my hard drive and would love to watch them on my tv through gbpvr. If i could get it with the menus and everything, great! but even if it's just a playback from start to finish without menus, that would be wonderful too.
I tried to play the video_ts file through the video library option, but just found a .dvd file instead. on the tv, it did nothing. on the computer, it brought up the dvd main menu, but did nothing after that (and no audio). there are two ways to normally play video_ts files on my computer - through window's media center, and a VLC free download i downloaded.
Is there anything else i need to do to get these files to play on the computer? do i need a plugin? do i need to do some configuration? i tried to change the video decoder through the config to something other than 'system default' but there were no other choices, and it didn't let me browse. i'd love some suggestions, or a step by step guide to how to at least get these to work at least partially. I'd rather not have to convert the video_ts files to mpeg or other format if i dont' have to. if i have to, but there's some 'on the fly' conversion that can keep the details from me and allow me to 'effectively' play video_ts, then i'm all for that as well. any and all suggestions appreciated!!
Sorry for all these Q's today, they're really all part of the same GREAT plugin for me. Can I ask you how the ImageGrabber works wrt Placeholders?
If you have do NOT make a placeholder selected (in Options) but DO have "Refresh Placeholders" selected, presumably this will only refresh EXISTING placeholders?
Can you pls also check ShowImageGrabber to see if the checkbox option selected e.g. TO or NOT TO make a placeholder can be made "sticky", it seems to default to "Make a Placeholder"?
How do I actually recognize a placeholder? I'm not sure if it's a brown icon thing with a reel that says "No Poster" on it (or whether that was downloaded by another plugin program, like Xrecord or Programm Image Tool by Carlito).
I ask as I seem to have got a lot of shows with a name on the image file, but it is BLANK and opens as about 3 white little pixels and one black one in MS Paint. When I open it with Irfanview, Irfanview says it seems to be an incorrectly named png file ?? :confused:
Hi All
after months of glitch free gbPVR I ran into a big problem tonight. Briefly, many months ago I installed the XRecord plugin and added an auto search for shows with "Lost" in the title. Later, I added the EWA plugin, and my wife added an auto search and record for "Lost". A week ago, "Lost" showed up in the EPG, and I noticed that there were 2 recordings scheduled for each show. So I deleted the XRecord auto search and one of each recording, and everything looked fine. Tonight however, the show didn't record - when I looked at itin the TV Guide it was red, and I couldn't delete it. I tried to add a manual recording and that also failed, and I can't delete it. I've attached my logs, but I see many (100s) repeats of
2008-01-31 20:33:16.505 ERROR [5] Caught unexpected exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at GBPVR.RecordingService.x93f60a55016d55c4.xcba1f05fb5a46d5f()
Any ideas how to trouble shoot/ fix this? It's bad enough that I've missed the two "Lost" shows that were supposed to run tonight, but now I'm wondering if all my pending recordings will fail.
