The subject line should have been: zap2xml missing new episode indicator
I upgraded to GBPVR 1.0.16 and I am using:
XMPTV, Zap2xml, XRecord
Zap2xml allows me to use a free Zap2it listings, but I no longer get the new episode indication (*).
Is this because Zap2xml doesn't include the original air date. or do I just have something configured
wrong?
I've been running an HVR-1600 just fine prior to installing a spare PVR-150. Now the PVR-150 works fine, but the HVR-1600 only gives me audio but not video. If I turn off "Use Live Preview mode if possible", I'd get video and audio from both cards (but the picture would be stretched on my widescreen monitor, i.e. without the black bars on the sides). What might be wrong with my setup?
When I try to play back recordings, all I get is a blank screen with audio (and the OSD is there). Then when I close the app (alt+f4) the picture shows up for about half a second before the program closes. Using PVRX2. Now, would it make any difference, that these recordings were made using GBPVR, before I updatred the software?
I am trying to setup a capture source for Leadtek DVT 1000T card. Going thru this forum I was able to setup a BDA capture source for this card, but that only gives me the freeview channels.
I have connected my sky STB to the S-Video input of the card and I can view it when using the WinFast software that came with the card as it allows me to switch sources. However, I'm struggling to set it up in GBPVR as a capture source.
More reading in this forum pointed out that I need to set a capture source using the "Direct Recording Plugin". However, when I attempt to do that, I do not find my card listed in dropdown. Help please!! I am really stuck
is there any way to use the sleep timer on the new verion (1.0.16)
one more question - i'm using haupphuge pvr 150 and in the older version i had to buttons on the remote that now are not working for me anymore:
the green power button would close the program - now it doesn't work anymore - i have to go to the main menu and press exit. how can i make it work? what should i write in the irremote.ini file?
the other one is the "go" button which is left to the power button - in the past it switched from full screen to window, but now it doesn't work. how can i fix it?
thanks in advance,
amit
oh, and one more thing - when i change the volume, the volume bar moves really slowly. i have to push the butoon for more then 5 seconds to make a real change in the volume. how can i make it go faster?

the clock on my vista laptop(less than 6months old) keeps losing time even the date ends up wrong
yesterday it said it was 2005 then i corrected it and today i get up and it says its yesterday still and it 12 am when it was 8am
i know it has nothing to do with gbpvr but thought someone else may have the answer
Its long been known that the FCC had decided that analog OTA transmissions would cease in 2009, but what this would mean for analog cable has been up in the air. There is now some new info on this: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/200...-2012.html. Sounds like there will be analog cable signals available until at least 2012.

Good Afternoon.
I am embarking on a HTPC Build and after reading many forums I have decided that GBPVR looks like the most flexible and useful program available. I have the following Hardware;
MSI uATX Motherboard with AMD690G Chipset HDMI Out
AMD BE-2350 CPU
1GB RAM
Antech Fusion V2 Case
250GB HDD for Data
60GB HDD for OS
Windows XP Pro SP2
Panasonic 42" Plasma 1024 X 768 Resolution
Technisat Airstar 2 DVB-T Capture Card with BDA drivers
What I would like to do is simple. Capture/Record TV programs from a schedule, re-encode those programs late at night to save disk space, playback both DVR-ms and re-encoded files. I would also like to store My Music collection and have it available for playback. Play Standard DVD's. I want to use a remote only to control the system. I will be using the HDMI out with sound in 760P definition.
Questions and problems:
I'm unsure about a number of issues:
1) Codecs - The forums generally say the Cyberlink codecs work best with ATI AVIVO hardware acceleration. Is this correct? If so do I need to buy a copy of PowerDVD pro or something and install it to get the codecs. I would like the Audio codec to be capable of output in5.1 Sound to my reciever. There is also a lot of talk about MUX's I have the Cyberlink ...ax MUX file. How do I register this? Why do I need it? and how do I know if it is being used. My system shows an ATI AVIVO Mux, is that OK? And if I add the Cyberlink then will the system know which to use?
2)Capture Card - I have a Technisat Airstar 2, I have now got this working with DNTV Live using the BDA drivers, after much trouble (DNTV crashes if the channel scan cant lock onto a signal) . Has anyone implemented this card before - of should I save myself a whole lot of hassle and buy a supported card? If so which DVB-T card available in Australia with 2 channel inputs and ability to record 2 channels simultaneously would be best.
3) Re-encoding and playback of re-encoded files. I would like to use Xvid or some other MPEG4 implementation - suggestions?. Main thing I would prefer is that playback will support hardware acceleration. Any suggestions or comments here would be appreciated.
4)Recommendations for a EPG provider for Australia that is reliable-supported in GBPVR and doesn't cost too much. I don't mind paying for services, but I do mind paying too-much!
5)I have an ANTECH Fusion V2 Case. It appears that the IR reciever in this case only supports a limited feature set of one type of MCE remote control. The Soundgraph forums say that the iMon based reciever hardware has been deliberately crippled by for Antech to only support MCE. If anyone has had any luck with this case and a remote then I would be very happy to hear from you. Otherwise if anyone has a suggestion for a USB based IR reciever that I can hide behind the VFD window and use instead then that would be very handy. Also if anyone knows if the supplied VFD is also 'crippled' or can it be used with LCDsmartie or some other application. I should have done more reasearch before buying this case. Caveat Emptor applies here.
There is a lot asked here in my first post. When I have everything working to my satisfaction I will make a big post with all the details of what is needed to get my particular setup to work.
Once in quite a while it fails to record something. The log is attached. I only had it set to "Error" logging so I am not sure it has enough detail, but any help would be appreciated.
It is not a huge issue given it only happens once in awhile, just annoying. If you need more detail I will set the logging to "Debug", but given it doesn't happen very often I didn't want the performance hit. My system is not exactly high end.
