Just downloaded GBPVR10016.msi and am getting the above error on the install on a WinXP PRo SP2B system.

I have re-downloaded the file several times using both Firefox and IE7 and the same error results. Is there something wrong with the download file?

Hi Sub,

I really need your help to resolve this problem. Ever since I installed ver 1.16, several of my recordings have failed at random. When this occurs, the system appears normal. The show is listed in the "pending recordings" menu and its status is shown as "recording". But, it can't be previewed (played) and the mpg files don't exist. Also, I can't start the recording manually and I have to restart the system to get working again.

I am not sure, but this may be occurring after I view or record an ASTC program with the HVR-1600.

I am attaching the logs from the most recent failures (the Women's World Cup Soccer 3rd place and final games) and my system information is listed below.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks for a great program.

I was trying to install the latest build of EWA and the schedule direct utility. I downloaded the EWA files to the gbpvr\web directory and after I checked that all the files were in the right place, I downloaded the schedules direct utility tot the gbpvr directory. I modified the postprocessingEPG.bat file as directed. At that point, Windows advised me that it was going to configure GBpvr.exe. That didn't sound good but since neither the config panel nor the program would work , I let windows try. It couldn't find the ".msi" file so I went the web page and tried to repair or modify the program (since pvrx2 was working perfectly yesterday, I assumed I didn't need to reinstall the vcrest program. Neither the repair nor modification would work: I received error "1334" which stated it could not install "download.ashx" because it was not found in the "cabinet" cabs.w1.cab

The next thing I tried was try to restore my computer to yesterday before I downloaded the two plugins, but the program still exists. I also dound the 7 files associcated with chedules direct utility and moved them to a subdirectory of gpvpr\plugins.

Can anyone help me, or at least guess what I might have down to ruin my installation? [ I will edit in a moment to post my logs]. I am using 1.0.16

p.s. I found download.ashx in gbpvr\web\public. Should I move it somewhere? (I don't know what a cabinet is, unless it is a folder) and I don't have a folder called cabs.w1.cab. Or, should I let windows reconfigure gbpvr by using the browse feature to show windows where the file is?


I undid my system restore and tried to repair gbpvr by reinstalling. Everything is working as well again.

Cripes... second post ever and I'm asking for stuff already. Fantastic software though I think its bril and I'm a big fan.

Got a request. Been through my own special PVR journey and would like to put something back - a small change that might make it a tiny bit easier for another newbie someday...

Here it is.

• All the relevant codecs that GBPVR finds in the registry, show up in the config Playback and DVD drop-downs.
  
• Codecs in the config.xml "supported codecs" list come up in a reassuring green colour.
  
• Codecs not in the list come up in a yuckie pink colour.
  
• On first install, the system selects the first green codec in the list, or if not, the first pink one. And then sticks with it.
  

Hi folks,

stupid question, is there a screensaver like in the older version showing some "Now Playing" Information? Would be nice to see some songs information...

cannot find it!

Thanks,

Hi there,

i am doing some tests with my system and the new pvrx2. graphics is very poor (tearing in live-tv and recordings, slow animations) on tv out, so i tried my tft with 1280x1024 because I am planning to change to a flat during the next months...

I hoped there is a better hardware acceleration on the vga out, but there is not. so my question is, does anybody has experience with the m2n-pv and6150?

Should the graphics performance be enough for the new pvrx2?

Thanks,
Dietmar

Hi there,

i have ripped some dvd's to iso, and copied them to my gbpvr system. the are mounted via daemon tools, but there is something strange: sometimes i cannot navigate anylonger, i have to ctrl-alt-delete and kill pvrx2 - but the dvd is displayed correctly and still running. Also, my imon vfd doesnt show the dvd as well, the display shows the home menu messsage, so i believe gbprv thinks i am in the home menu...

if the iso is mounted before (or i start directly via dvd) everything is ok.

I do not have got this strange things with the old version...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dietmar

Greetings Folks

I am for the first time trying to map my digital channels.

I've attached a screenshot to help explain my misunstanding.

It is mostly about the two channels found for WXYZHD (000) and (000(AC3)).
I am assuming that one of them should be mapped to channel 231 WXYZDT. If that much is true then which one ?

Hi,

I've recently come across GB-PVR whilst looking for information on setting up a HTPC (came across it on http://www.eventghost.org/wiki/Controlli...EventGhost if anyone's interested).

From what I've seen so far GB-PVR looks very good, and I have setup a computer to use as a HTPC, however I am having trouble setting up GB-PVR to use the tv-card that I already had because it is not already supported.

I have tried following the instructions on http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardw...aptureCard, however the instructions seem to be about how to setup a digital tv-card whereas my card (EZ-TV TVP3XP) is an analogue one, so graphedit does not show anything under the BDA sections like the instructions describe.

Does anyone have any ideas or hints on how to setup an analogue card? The card came to me second hand without any manuals, so I don't know much about it other than what I've read on the review at http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/ecs-...index.html, so any help would be much appriciated as I am a bit of a beginner in the HTPC area, however the card does work fine with Intervideo's WINDVR software that I have.

Thanks for any help, Harlquinth.

Hi there,

is it possible to show pictures in tv-listings? as far as i know, the xmltv spec support icons for programs, and the german clickfinder i am using supports them as well.

i tried to include the icon tag manually in the xml file, but the image is not shown in the tv listings.

i had a look to the internal db3 database, and i cannot find any image-fields!

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dietmar
