Hello all,

I would really appreciate your help regarding my issue. I currently installed the GB-PVR and I'm using Yapi2XML as EPG. I was able to configure both but having problem with video. I can hear the audio in the background but there's no video signal. Did I miss a step when I was configuring both applications? I'm so sorry but I am new with PVR. All your help will be gladly appreciated!

Regards,
Greg

Hello,
I'm still a newbie and am pouring over documentation but can't find all of the information i'm looking for. please forgive all the questions.

1. this is probably a stupid question, but is it possible to record in a lower resolution of hdtv like 480p/i instead of the higher resolution that seems to be the default?

2. i've noticed that pbs programs i record have a black box around them making full-screen viewing take up only about half the screen.

3. what is the *easiest* way to remove commercials? how accurate is it? and how long does it take to process once the program is recorded?

4. what are the most popular/recommended customizations?

5. i have a hauppauge hvr-1600 with remote. is it possible to use that remote with gbpvr without too much difficulty?

thanks for any information and take care,
joe

Anyone Viewing Philadelphia Clear QAM through Comcast? Any luck, what channels, frequencies, etc. do I need?

Thanks, I've had zero luck getting GBPVR to work through ATSC, something holds onto the device, but the dumb AverMedia software is fine.

Thanks,

Yesterday I had a recording set in the tv guide that started recording. Then I wanted to watch another show , I only have 1 tuner. so I had to go to the tvguide and select the item and select cancel. Exited TV guide and went to LiveTV ... Black screen. So I rebooted the machin and LiveTV would still not come up I had to back into TVGuide and select the channel I wanted to watch and select watch. To get live tv to come up. After that all worked well. I will try to recreate tonight and post logs but wanted to see if this happens to anyone else.
1.0.16
PVRX2

I have Comskip(from babgvant's dvrmstoolkit) on my main machine with pvr-150's and using media center and it finds the files and does the commercial skip thing.

I copied over the 3 comskip files to my htpc, with an HVR-1600, and placed them in the gbpvr directory and recorded a program, in HD. When I played it back later, it did not skip the commercials. Looking in the directory that houses the dvr-ms file that was created, I did not see any of the usual log, and commercial files that I see on my main machine that Comskip leaves behind.

Any suggestions of what I might have done incorrectly?

I remember GBPVR did this but now I can't convince PVRX2 to do the same:

whenever I start PVRX2 I would like it to start the livetv in the inset window automatically.

Can someone help?

Thanks.

I just set up my htpc and installed 1.0.16. Everything seems to be working, mostly.

When I scan QAM channels it finds all of them execpt for the local Fox channel. It should scan as 92.21 or 5.1, and does scan on my TV's QAM tuner. I have an HVR-1600 and have both connectors hooked to my cable line.

Is there anyone else in the Atlanta area with a similar setup that has been able to find WAGA-Fox? If so, is it possible to get the information from their GBPVR setup and manually add it to my channel selections(where would I add it?)?

Other than that, GBPVR works great for playing and recording the other HD and SD stations.

Thank You

Is it possible to import a Recordings Dump to the Xrecord Archived Movies or Videos dir?

I would try the MPEGIMPORT utility, but I believe this imports to recordings, not the XRecord Archive dir.

k.

Sub,

I accidently discovered what I think may be a serious problem.

In the Video Library, I deleted the recording at the top of the list in a particular folder. Then I somehow highlighted the ellipsis (..) and clicked on delete. The "Are You Sure..." warning popped up and like a fool I clicked "Yes" (in the same way that I blindly accept all software licence agreements). The drive light started blinking like mad and when it quit I found:

- If I select "Recordings" from the main menu the screen goes black for a second and then returned to the main menu

- When I quit gbpvr and tried to restart, the MSI installer ran first, and then I got a "vanilla" installation, with only the blue skin and no plugins

- My Community skin wasn't just deselected, the folder was gone!

I rebuilt my configuration, backed it up, and tried it again yesterday, and got the same result. I'm afraid that if I could do it, any visitor to my home could wipe out my setup just as easily.

I'm using v. 1.0.16, Community skin, Cinema & Weather plugins, 2 MVP's.

Thanks

I had a very strange occurrence recently I recorded a 2 hour show and it never stopped recording although it was recorded as finished. I just noticed that it has not stopped when I pressed the blue button the time was still growing and it has gone on for 11 hours already. The only way to stop it was to restart GBPVR. Am attaching screen shots and logs of past 2 days. As seen the screen shots the only way I would have known something was wrong was when you press the blue button and you see the time as having reached the 11th hour and/or check recording status and see that indeed it was still recording. You can also see at the last shot that the system has indicated that it has completed the recording and is not anymore pending. I believe it has something to do with the overlap at midnight.

Btw, was watching this show through my MVP, if that makes a difference.
