I have a new Hauppage Remote and when I use the volume in the music plug in it does navigation rather than volume. What's the trick to fixing this issue?

This is the newer 45 button remote with separate volume and navigation buttons.

Ok, I am experiencing a strange issue when viewing various video files. What happens is that I exit the video or it ends. If I reload that video file or another video file with the exact same codec, the video plays at half speed and there is no audio. If I totally exit out of PVRX2 and then relaunch the program and watch the video it works fine. Also if I play another video that uses a different codec, close it and then launch the previous one it works. I am assuming that for some reason that it isn't releasing the codec when the video exits and if you try to play the same codec it runs into a problem. Does anyone know a way to force it to release the codec for sure when you exit from a video?

I recently did a reinstall on my OS. Prior to this everything was working fine on my MVP i was even able to listen to .ape and flac files if i changed the extension to .fla. However after the reinstall i have an issue with sound when i try to play an AVI file. There is no sound at all. I can still play mp3, ape and the afore mentioned flac files. web radio also works. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I have installed the klite codec pack i cant remember the name but it was the one above basic.

I just bought new equipment and built an HTPC with an MVP. Didn't notice until I was relaxing trying to use the MVP from my couch that it only responds well to the remote at less than 6ft. I've tried 2 different remotes each with new batteries and the same result. Also it seems that the angle must be almost straight on (it's not very responsive from the side.)

Unfortunately, this is a show stopper for my wife.

Anyone else experience this 6ft limit, or do I have a bad MVP?

Hi, got a GBPVRUiElement I want updated frequently to keep up with a song playing.

For a screen saver, that will contain album art, song title and the place within the song.

I can get it all displaying, but I'm hitting the GetRenderList quite frequently.

I don't really want to re-create the UIElement all the time. I can keep track of which song it is and only re-make the image when the track changes, but are there any nice ways of updating a string. If i have to, I'll create the text as a separate element.

From my keyboard, Skip works at the number seconds assigned to Default skip size in Config. However, from my Hauppauge remote it only moves 10 seconds at a time. How can I make it use the Default settings?

Also, what is the Manual Skip timebase for? I/ve tried both Seconds and Minutes but it doesn't make any difference.

Hi all

First, congrats on a great alternative to MCE!

I installed 1.1.5 last night with the intent of using it instead of Vista Ultimate's resource hogging MCE - but I've struck a speedbump along the way.

The install was routine, but when I tried to set it up for my Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick (330e) GBPVR refuses to recognise it. When I checked the box marked "Only show devices detected in this machine", it told me "No known cards detected", even though the Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick is listed as a supported device. When I select this manually (or various other possible types), it generates the following error when I try to do the channel mapping (after forcing a "Map digital channels to EPG channels"):

GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly, and not already in use. (Reason: Failed to locate configured BDA capture device)

At first I had the device connected through a powered USB hub (its status is always reported as "Sleeping") so I thought I'd connect it through a motherboard USB socket, but this made no difference (MCE recognises the device no matter where it is connected).

I've also searched for other posts referring to this specific device, but the only ones I saw are quite old and refer to the master file now being updated, which makes me think that this device should work straight off.

So one possibility that has occurred to me is that I need to install some additional drivers for the device beyond Pinnacle's MCE drivers.

As I've managed to get an EPG scraper working nicely, thanks to a number of excellent posts (the correct detail even shows up on screen), the only other possibility that I can think of is that some Vista MCE service may be preventing GBPVR from recognising the device.

If anyone can offer any suggestions for sorting this, I'd be very grateful indeed.

And while I'm here, I have another set-up query: is there is any way to use the cute little remote that came with the Pinnacle device - or perhaps an older Pinnacle remote that came with an older analogue PCI card? The PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick has its own built-in IR receiver, but I've only ever been able to get that to work with Pinnacle's own (atrocious and unuseable) software. Any tips here would also be welcome.

Thanks & best regards

Hi JW,

Was wondering if I could raise my hand for two wishes, from past posts:

• Schedule-able Command-line Version of Moviewizard with command line switches and
  
• Delete Watched Shows (Delete dead entries is already implemented thanks, however this is a bit different!)

Okay, this is EXTREMELY strange, and I'm not sure whats happening...
I just hooked up my TV to my computer thru a HDMI cable.
Everything works fine after I figured out resolutions/refresh rates ect...

Video playback is fine while it is displayed through my monitor in windows media player.
That is, with recordings from GB-PVR.
If I drag WMP from the destop monitor to the TV, the video inside WMP disapears!!!!!
I drag it back to the destop monitor, and its playing just fine.

So far, any other videos work just fine on the big screen, AVI, WMV, some MPG formats work.

Any clue as to what is going on here?

Hi sub,

For some reason, my resume doesn't resume any more (yes I have the resume prompt set in config), it sorts of jumps to the resume location VERY briefly, then goes back to the start of the movie, which really bugs me, as it used to work beautifully :confused:

The times of the movies (in logs) I tried to resume are between 7:30pm and 10:30pm last night.

Hope you find something, it'll raise the WAF, Thanks!
