my cable company just re-arranged the channels around here.
schedules direct added all the channels to the new numbers automatically, but now I have 30 or so duplicate named channels that say "(no show details)"
is it possible for someone to make a utility that delete a channel from the listings if there are no programs on that channel listed??
I know I can do them one by one, but a utility like this could do it with a single click of a .bat file.
this would be great for using a couple days after editing your channel lineup to not send unwanted channels.
May have been a bit premature after posting about my initial success upgrading to 1.0.16!
I have never had a failed recording before, but have had two since switching to PVRX2.
I hibernated the PC last night, and it turned on to record today. First sign of a problem was that the PC was still running some hours later - it did not hibernate again after the usual 30 minutes.
I turned on the monitor but it was just a black screen - no reponse to any key presses. I had to CTRL-ALT-DEL to get control of the PC. First thing I did was to check the recording, and it was there, but when I tried to play it, it only lasted for a few seconds. Checked the file and it is only 634kb...
Unfortunately I only had error logging enabled, so I scheduled a manual recording from 7.40pm to 7.50pm, and put the system into hibernate again from the System menu in PVRX2. This time the recording file was larger - 156mb - but it only plays for a few seconds before the video freezes (Logs attached). Loaded it into VideoRedo to analyse and these are the results:
Audio frame errors: 171
Input Sequence Errors: 658
Video resync frames removed: 224
Audio resync frames removed: 523
Video output frames: 6984
Audio output frames: 11641
I should stress that recordings done without the PC waking from hibernate have been fine - it definately seems to be a problem with the PC waking from hiberbnate to record...
I am using Cyberlink mux v1307 on a Hauppage Nova-T 9002 DVB-T card.

In GB-PVR the pre- and post-padding values allowed negative values. In PVRX2 they do not. I find the negative post-padding useful since a lot of shows are scheduled as 8:00-8:31 (too mess with DVRs). When recording shows back to back on that channel I like to set the post padding on the first show to -1, letting it record until 8:30, and then the second show is right on. Otherwise there's bits of the second show at the end of the first recording. (Yes, it doesn't matter when another tuner is free, but if it's not the negative padding is handy.)
I upgrade my GBPVR from version .99.12 to 1.0.16. The upgrade went fine but my only issue seems to be that rewind and fast forward no longer work, as far as I can tell all the other keys work fine.

45 button remote
I've tried the "Fix Hauppauge Remote Settings (45 button remote) under the config but it didn't do anything.
I was deleting something from the video library and when there were no files left the [..] was selected and I pressed OK on the remote again with the intention of deleting the now empty folder. Of course the [..] is the parent folder but I was probably on "automatic pilot" and pressed okay when the following screen came up:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
I immediately realised that wasn't right but it was too late! I tried restarting PVRX2 with no luck then checked the file system and found it had tried to delete the "program files\devnz" folder but obviously failed when it got access denied halfway through. This is what's left in my GBPVR folder:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
I restored from a backup and tried the same thing again to be sure and the same thing happened. However with the original PVRX2.exe from the 1.0.16 install it doesn't happen (it's clever enough to ignore you when you select the delete button). I don't think I've applied many (if any) of the patches in the survival thread but I did install the patch from this post a few days ago and with that PVRX2.exe it allows this to happen: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=2...stcount=25
You may want to check your latest build for this bug before releasing the next version otherwise we could have a lot of happy PVR systems self-destructing!

P.S. Still think this is the best PVR software around!
Occasionally, well, on a weekly basis, some of our favorite shows that we watch have issues with fast-forwarding and re-winding video's. ComSkip is messed up as well.
What appears to happen is that the recording starts out fine, but a couple of minutes into the show, the timing resets back to 0:00. So it seems to combine two mpg files together. But the actual file is one file.
Initially watchin the show, it starts as 0:00 to 27:27 as the timeframe of the show. At 5:23 at this particular show, it resets to 00:00 to 27:27 and if you hit FF, it goes back to the beginning of the show and will continue to cycle through the first 5:23 of the show. Last year I saw this a few times and it seemed like it happened if I printed using this computer while it was recording.
I'm guessing that this is happening because in this instance, I had recorded a show immediately before this screwed up one, and comskip likely completes at the time the damaged show hits 5:23. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution? Thanks.
I'm getting a ghosting problem playing back some recordings during motion sequences. The motion is not really fast like a hand waving but looks jerky like they are displaying incorrect field order.
gbpvr.exe (tried both System Default and Nvidia decoder settings) and pvrx2.exe (std and -fse) have the same problem. But the same recordings playback fine using VLC or Media Player.
The wierd thing is that it is very noticeable on 2 children's shows that I record in the mornings (a cartoon and a musical) but not in movie recordings.
To compare, I've recorded the same shows using both my PVR150 (mpg) and HVR3000 (dvr-ms) at the same time. Both recordings have the same problem but when I rewind back to replay the jerky scene straightaway it seems better. It seems almost like Purevideo is adapting to the scene the 2nd time round.
I'm using Purevideo (set to auto deinterlace VMR9) and 6600gt video card to output to both LCD and TV - jerkiness seen on both displays. Freshly installed XP SP2 with latest 163.71 forceware drivers and Purevideo 1.02.223.
I've read the various thread on mpeg decoding and deinterlacing but they don't seem to describe this problem I'm getting. It seems almost that Nvidia is sensitive to the way some video streams are encoded.
Has anyone else experience this? I'm a bit stuck on what to try next. Any suggestions? Why is it happening only under GBPVR playback? I don't want use another decoder because it works really well on most of the recordings.
It seems when i change the resolution on my graphic card to a setting higher than 1280x1024. PVRX2 shuts down and i have a ati Error message. It seems the graphics accelerator shut down. I tried setting the accelerator to a lower setting
it seemed to work once. But i thought i could go to a higher setting on the Graphics card but it seems now i can not get it work on the setting that previously worked.
I have included the log for PVRX2. Their are some errors listed.
Also One things also it does not seem to affect gbpvr at all. I am running the current release.
Thanks
I hit the "refresh channels" button and lost all my channels. The normal add and remove works ok, as does grabbing listings. I'm guessing the RT site has a missing file in its downloads.
