Last night I was using the interface in the normal fashion catching up on some of my shows. At some point Every entry on the recordings menu on down enlarged by 2 probably. Now I have text over writing stuff. and where I could once see 6(Ithink) shows I can now only see 4 because they are so large. Reboot did not take care of this. What do I need to do? This sizing issue only happens in the recordings menu and everything below it. So like Pending and reoccuring and ready all have this problem. Thanks.
I've got the mce remote + keyboard, if i use the replacement drivers i can't use the keyboard.
the remote worked under media-portal without problems - if i find what settings media-portal used for the remote, and if in the correct format could these easily be ported for gbpvr
It seems that after a long and painfull MediaPortal experience i finaly found a software that (almost) fullfill my needs and, i am sure you wouldn`t guess it, that is GBPVR
my client with the hauppauge 150 plays smooth and the recordings via the s-video input are also of very good quality. so nothing to complain.
BUT
1.) for some reason i can`t control the sound volume (the OSD volume bar is changing but the soundlevel stays the same)
2.) i am not able to play DVDs. just plain black screen
3.) i can`t get the technisat Skystar 2 operational on my server. the technotrend 3200 is working fine, but the skystar can`t be found when i try to start a channel scan.
i already installed the newest technisat BDA driver for that card and i can select it in the config (show only installed devices is checked). in the devicemanager it shows the technisat skystar 2 PCI (BDA).
4.) is there a way to change the settings of the transcoding? i currently have set it to XviD, but i can`t set any quality levels.
5.) i installed the weather plugin on my client and i was able to configure it but when i started GBPVR it wasn`t able to get the information out of the internet (was my fault). when i checked the plugins again, the weather plugin was gone. deinstallation and reinstallation didn`t do the job. so no weather for me.
that`s it for now. after all i am very satisfied with GBPVR and i wish the developer all the best for the upcoming versions of this great program.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone involved with this side of the software - it's been a while since i've had the oportunity to use it and i'd forgotten how great it was!
Everytime I restart the box post 1.0.16 install I get the following errors. I don't know where to start. I would be more worried but it doesn't seem to be causing too much trouble that I can tell. Everything works pretty much as it should.
I've noticed the following if it makes any difference:
-setting the first recurring recording crashes the MVP
-recurring recording updates don't stick
-menus are sluggish through the MVP
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers
p.s. the last error report will be in the next post since it was bitching about more than four images or some BS.
I've got an external channel changer set up so I can record from my video box, it's been working fine until now. The channel changer itself works, as does the program I use to use it, I've confirmed this by testing it manually. But for some reason GBPVR won't change the channel any more.
All the channels are there, I've checked and rechecked the string I've got to make sure nothing is different and it isn't. I can't figure out what's wrong. I've tried restarting the program and the computer and nothing.
Then I tried to change the channel on live TV and that sort of worked in that I could see GBPVR was communicating with the channel changer, but it seemed to be going really slowly and missing some of the channels, like I would type in "203" and it would just go to channel 20, then I'd type in "030" or "30" and it didn't do anything. I've got the two boxes checked off in the exe changer so that's not the problem.
I have just started using gbPVR, and I set it up to use D:\ as my recording dir. When I run programimagetool with the /show argument it works fine. If I try /Recordings, it errors out:
Unhandled Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\
System Volume Information' is denied.

This is on Windows 2000. Any ideas? I wouldn't mind moving my recordings dir to a folder on D:\, except that I've already started recording shows.
Here's the situation. I'm using indoor ATSC antenna plugged into a HVR-1600. I can get most channels pretty well, but every now and then when I'm on a channel which seems to be getting too poor reception, the computer spikes to 100% CPU usage, often followed by the program crashing.
What can I do to A) figure out the best placement of my antenna to get better reception, B) stop the spiking and crashing.
THANKS!!!
PS - Does anyone know how to set up the remote so that when I press "TV" GB-PVR and not WinTV opens?
