So, when I start my HTPC and do nothing in the next 5 minutes, the pc re-hibernates and I must re-raise from my chair to wake the PC again (yes, it's horrible):o
Just a warning against installing the AstroGemini (or Astro Gemini ) screensaver from GiveawayOfTheDay from october 20.10.
It stops GBPVR recording service from being able to start :mad:
I got burnt, and only because my 4yo was next to me when i checked the GOTD site out and wanted me to try it out...
This is what the GBPVR log says about what goes wrong. Uninstalling the stuff restores functionality again.

When I first read about the mvpmc some time ago, I understood that this could give me WOL, but also it seemed experimental and complicated to set up, so I stayed away from it.
Today, I decided to give it another try, and wow, loading the mvpmc dongle was really a piece of cake. It was a bit more tricky to get the config file for autostarting emulation mode and WOL working, but I finally succeeded.
The result looks great. First of all there is this Wake on Lan, which will make my wife & kids really happy. (I am already ). I also notice the remote reacts much snappier now. I hope that it also will prove to be stable.
Wouldn't it be time for an entry in the wiki? The posts with most crucial information are sticky, but you need to browse through the forum to even understand what mvpmc could mean for a gbpvr user. Also the part on making the share (on the mvpmc wiki) could be more dummy proof.
I am looking to buy a viiv computer which has built in 2 Hybrid cards "Lifeview FlyDVB-T Hybrid MCE" Rf remote and looks like a VCR - and I get it for a good price.
but the 2 cards that areincluded seems not to be hardware coded analog - and therefore I guess not supported by GBPVR.
The PCI spaces are small so my existing Hauppauge 150 cards are to big, so I am thinking of finding a good USB card or maybe small PCI card that is supported and is analog.
I looked at the Wiki and there was some possible cards I do not see so many USB analog though.
(to bad that Hauppauge do not have a analog version similar to Nova-T stick diversity)
My question now is what card do you have USB or small PCI that works without problems ?
Since my guide is sometimes whacked and/or I have channels with no guide at all, is it possible to schedule a program as channel 5 - M-F at 8pm to 10pm without any specific program name and schedule date
GBPVR 99.12 DVB_T from Crystal Palace.
Never had a problem with my EPG until this week - 2 channels, E4 and CITV, no longer get any EPG data, and even if I go to an adjacent channel and use the program +/- keys, I cannot watch them.
Tried emptying the EPG and reloading, tried deleting them and rescanning, but no go.
I know Sub no longer supports older versions, but wondered if other users have this problem and any possible fixes?

P.S. also just noticed that the guide seems confused on new channels that time-share the same frequency. For example, the EPG for UK History (which now only broadcasts in the daytime) gived program info for a new channel called 'Dave', so I cannot watch any UK History. Tried a Freeview STB and History works fine, as does 'Dave'
Unfortunately the wife has had issues with the 17th Oct release (didn't try the 14th) which has required me to regress to std GBPVR dongle
Issues (none of which are every time)
- Synch issues in playing back AVI files
- AVI files locking up ie playing stopped
- When finish playing a program and returned to menus then unable to navigate GBPVR menus.
Checked logs and nothing of interest showing though I have secured them
Any ideas - I am happy to do some more testing with any additional logging you want switched on
I am using EWA trough IIS for quite some time now (after the EWA crashed my recording service a few times - WAF problem - I moved it to IIS to split the two).
Everything works fine in IIS except for the manage recordings tab which gives a "server error in /GBPVR". restarting, clearing cache and so on do not help. Trough the recoding service everything works just fine.
