I want all the folders/files under my movies directory to show the movie's poster and information instead of just the name.
After browsing the wiki I think that either "movie file library" or "movie wizard" is the plugin I need.

Do they work with GB-PVR v1.1.5?
If not, is there any other way of doing that with GB-PVR latast version?

After a year of stabel use, i did a full upgarde of gbpvr,
In that process went from 'showburner-script' to 'burndvdx2'

Well:
1/ nice! this is way more explainable to wife & kids as the original script.
2/ (more a general), its a pity i now have yet another main-menu-entry. I would have preferred to keeop the main list short. I guess thats more sonething for sub however.
3/ For some reason the 'burndvdx2' cannot work from the remote:
-> 'right-arrow-key' does not jump to the file-selector region. so you need the mouse for that.
-> keys work funny anyway (check it out) looks like left/right, up/down actiomns are a bit mixed.
4/ After editing 'text': description box still shows 'no description'
5/ Care: when entering to much characters for 'disklabel' you get an unuseable dvd. (my preference: leave the box away).
The above basically 'buggies',

6/ a big question:
Could you add some way to 'custom-not-show' buttons??
Especially the 'setup alike buttons (captions, sms, cskip, 16:9, preview)' i would like to 'hide'.
But also the 'advanced' skip-tool & iso-burn are buttons i would like to hide.
==> probably by configuration in the gbpvr-config-tool?? or just by plain xml-setup-edit??
7/ and along the line of 3/: can i enter text in the text-box from my remote??? (maybe thats doen by sms, i did not check yet)


Anyway: THANKS, also without solving the above, i can nicely work

I've been using GBPVR for a while on my home-brew PC (see sig). I decided to add high-def capability so I bought a HVR1600. I can tune the 3 or 4 clear qam channels, but the video is very choppy, kind of like a very fast slide show. I also tried a homemade antenna with over-the-air hi-def, and got signals well into the green on Hauppauge's signal strength meter, but the picture was the same.

I'm tempted to upgrade the video card since the picture on analog channels is nowhere near as good as the built-in tuner in my TV/Monitor but I don't want to waste the money if the CPU isn't up to the job - or maybe I bought the wrong tuner :-(

I'm running GBPVR 1.1.5 and I think I've researched all the patches I need. I know the NVIDIA card is a headache, but I don't know if other brands would be better; It also looks like both NVIDIA and ATI sell their chips to OEMs who make the actual video cards. Does anyone have advice about specific brands?

Every so often GBPVR just stops making new recordings. There are no new recordings until I reboot the machine. I've been having this issue for a while now and just hadn't had time to look into. I had some time tonight, and thought I'd take a peak at the logs.

I found this in GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log.

By stopping and restaring the recording service, it seems to be working again. Any thoughts?

I have version 1.7.2898.24459 and anytime I open the config tool and make a change I end up with the regular GBPVR tray and the Slim tray. I read in another post that the problem was fixed but it still does it

Hi, I installed the community 3 skin support and noticed I can no longer view the filter popup. it vanishes when I click the filter menu and boots me back to the root menu basically out of searchwiz.

Searchwiz is fine using the blue skin

Thought you should know

Cheers

I have a problem with the USBUIRT Plugin with EventGhost, but I am not sure where to find logs or troubleshoot this.

Attached is the error. Has anyone used the USBUIRT and had success with this? It used to work?

Any help appreciated!

Is there any way to invoke a mux on a dvr-ms file and convert it to an mpeg file, manually? I have had GBPVR invoke the mux but the result was an mpeg file that had a terrible audio/video sync problem and the original dvr-ms files gets deleted. Currently, recording and playback of dvr-ms files works fine. But I want to be able to edit out commercials for some movies that I want to keep. I (mistakenly) purchased TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 2.0 to do this. But working with dvr-ms files and that program takes the patience of Job. It can take over 2 minutes just to move 8 frames. But performance is fine when using mpegs.

I just want to test creating mpegs using GBPVR without loosing my dvr-ms files until I find one works ok.

Hi!

Do you know how I can get the black and gray colors back in the guide?

The communuity skin seems to have light florescent blue and I am lost trying to change it

cool plugin

well i just bought my 1080p samsung lcd today, and i have an old compaq, sr1124nx to be exact. it only has 512 mb of ram and an amd athlon processor, so i decided i would add a hard drive just to record tv shows on and then buy a hauppauge card, since this is a very budget minded project i came up with the items below all for just over $100 so what do you think?

Tv tuner card(not sure if its the right kind): Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150MCE - TV tuner / video input adapter - PCI ($56)

Hard Drive (i already have a 120gb on the computer so im buying a 40gb drive and using the 40gb as my main drive and 120gb just for tv recordings): Western Digital 40 GB Caviar EIDE 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive (WD400BB) ($31)

Wireless mouse and keyboard(im buying this because im going to start using my tv as my pc monitor so i can sit in the living room on the couch and use my pc.): Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop (PC & Mac) ($20)

any suggestions are welcome!
