I miss the functions that were a part of xrecord. I upgraded this morning to 1.0.16 and believe xrecord will no longer work with it. If that is the case, is there any way that I can archive? Is there any way to get some of the functionality back that use to be a part of xrecord?
I just setup schedulesDirect and every time I click "update egp" I get 7 extra channels at the bottom, the don't have a number next to it, just a name. When I look at my lineup on their website it's correct.
Also, the TV guide doesn't show any information for MTV, even though it's listed properly. But more worrisome than that awful channel, there are several which have a name but no number (GSN, HSN, MTV, OXYGEN, STYLE, TRVL). then, there are others with a name and number but they're out of order at the end of the guide, (15-GOA, 50-STYL, 56-SPEE, 63-CMTV), and have no listing information (like MTV).
I'm on 1.0.16 and I did update the backendcommon.dll, made sure it copied by checking the date/time (8/20 3:57) and rebooted. I followed the SchedulesDirect directions to the letter.
I am very impressed with GB-PVR, by far the best pvr and epg I have used to date.
Occasionally I have found the software goes through the install procedure on booting my computer. It looks for the original setup program, does the install again, while retaining my existing settings.
I am using XP SP2, anybody any ideas why this is happening?
I am trying to get GBPVR working but and facing a few problems. My setup is as follows:
Quote:PC:
MSI K9AGM2-FIH motherboard with onboard HDMI output
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ (2.1GHz) Socket AM2 Energy Efficient L2 1MB (2x512KB) Cache
Kingston 1GB DDR2 667MHz / PC2-5300 MEMORY CL5 1.8V NON ECC UNBUFFERED
Samsung SpinPoint HD501LJ 500GB SATAII Hard Drive 16MB Cache
Samsung SH-S183 SATA 18x DVD±RW/RAM Black
Antec NSK2480 MATX Desktop Case Black & Silver - With 380W EarthWatts PSU
Hauppage HVR1300 card
Software:
WinXP Prof SP2 32bit
Windows Media Player 11
DirectX 9c
GB-PVR 1.0.16
DScaler5
Tele:
Panasonic Viera TH37PV500 37" HD Ready tele (UK model)
I've connected my PC to the tele via HDMI. Now to mention my list of problems with DVD playback:
1) If I use PVRX2.exe I get tearing of the images if there is movement like a car moving across the screen or if the camera pans from the top of a building to the bottom for example. Also, the colours look a bit muted. Also, I do not see the OSD i.e. ff/rw, pause, etc. All I get in terms of OSD is the progressbar.
2) When I use GBPVR.exe I get the same tearing as above if I'm using VRM9, VRM9 Custom or VRM9 FSE. Only the overlay mode works the best with excellent colours and smooth video playback. However, in this mode I also notice that when I'm watching trailers on a DVD the picture jitters when there is any movement i.e. when there is a hand movement the hand appears to jitter. The main movie plays smoothly, just the trailers jitter. As an example, when I watch (Finding Nemo - Disney DVD), all the trailers like monster inc, lion king, etc. jitter, but the main movie itself, plays fine. Any idea what's going on. The jittering goes away if I switch to VRM9 custom, but then I get the tearing even on the main movie.
I am using DScaler5 decoder and this is the only decoder installed on the machine. Ideally I'd love to use PVRX2 but am unable to get decent DVD playback using it, not to mention the lack of OSD.
Now all the DVDs play fine in WMP11 both in Overlay mode and in High res mode with no jitter or tearing and it is using the same DScaler5 decoder.
This is really driving me nuts. Someone please help.
Quote:I have been able to configure the 2 tuners with GB-PVR.
I can't find how to use the second tuner when shceduling a manual recording. There is no entry to specify what tuner to chose, and if I try to schedule 2 recordings at the same time, GB-PVR reports a conflict.
Am I missing something obvious?

I have had a problem since switching to pvrx2. It was all working well with the previous version.
This version works fine. I can record. When I go to playback, it works fine. If I finish a show and then try to start another one, 95% of the time gbpvr will just go to a black screen and never play the video. I can escape back out to menus, but nothing will ever play unless I exit the program and restart.
I have attached the log files.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It's a web calendar that lists when shows are on - in a month view. You can filter which shows to keep an eye on and they'll populate on the calendar (which has the fortunate side effect of filtering out all of the uh, other stuff). You can even put in your timezone and have the show times listed. In case you're wondering, the data comes from epguides.
It sure made figuring out when "my" shows were going to be on in the next few weeks a lot easier so I can get them scheduled with GB-PVR
