In the config of gbpvr it's written that if I want my recordings to be decoded into mpeg I need to have ceyberlink or ati decoder.
I just want to know that if what I download would do the job.
I downloaded this pack of codecs: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/ACE_...S_Pack.htm
Will it do the job?
Where else can i download the codecs I need for the decoding?
My Cable company is making me use a Motorola DCT 6416 to get HD and Digital Cable TV. They (shaw tv) say that do to the way they encrypt things it's the only box that will work.
Does anyone know if that means the end of GB-PVR for me? Can GB-PVR control this device?
I have a widescreen monitor and the input signal is set to 16:9 and also in the config I have set GB-PVR to 16:9. However: It is not correctly displayed. It seems like GB-PVR thinks the signal is 4:3 (probably because it is from an analog source - settop-box over PVR) instead of 16:9 because i get black bars right and left of the site (although that is already done by the settop-box if it is really a 4:3 signal). At least that happens in Pillarmode. In the other modes it is too not displayed correctly or even cut off (except Fill-Mode).
There is only one mode where I can get this right and that is with Fill (F7 key) but that is not that perfect, I mean if I resize the window not correctly it could get stretched or things like this...
I use the newest GB-PVR v1.0.16 and the device I use is a Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 (AVS).
I have uploaded a new alpha dongle that includes changes from the nightly to hopefully address a/v sync in mpeg files. I would be very interested in finding out if this is successful from from anyone who has this problem. If this proves to work as planned then it very well could be a solution for AC3 audio too. The code is experimental right now but looks promising unfortunately I don't have this problem. It will not address stuttering audio that results from network bandwidth issues.
The only other change from dongle2xa.zip is jksmurf's EventGhost change. I am however working on Go keys for 0-9 which will duplicate Hauppauge's percentage skip by calculating the time forward or backward.
Finally as a reminder since 1.x has been released for best results with mvpmc and 99.12 and earlier you need to use the command line option --em-safety 3 to get around a GBPVR bug that has been fixed in both GBPVR and PVRX2
I haven't been around for quite some time. Sub and the rest of the crew have done to good of a job. I have been using GBPVR daily for about the last 3 years. I finally upgraded to the latest since zap2it went away. I was a bit uneasy since I haven't touched mine for so long and GBPVR has changed.
Well I must admit that I didn't spend to much time fiddling with it. THe upgrade went very smoothly! I even got the new schedules direct working rather quickly. No loss of data or anything! I'm way excited. Now I just need to get my Xrecord working as that is what the wife and I like using for playing of our recordings.
WAY TO GO SUB!!!!!!!!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK. I don't know how you do it with a normal job, family, etc. I have gladly donated in the past and I think it is that time again.

I usually have the Recording Status tray icon loaded with the window visible showing the status of my 4 tuners.
What I think would be very useful, would be an additional row added that showed the status of the Recording Service itself.
I missed a couple of recordings last night because for some reason, the Recording Service shut itself down but there's nothing on any of the GUI's to show the status of the service.
Sometimes I have the SlimGBPVR application running which will autorestart the service but that wasn't running either yesterday and a visual would have been helpful.
I bought a PVR-150MCE so that I could use my wii and PS2 on my computer and I was expecting to struggle a little bit getting it to work properly without delays and such, but nothing like this.
I looked around to see how this could be done and saw a thread where an explanation was given on how to get around the hardware codec delay using GB-PVR. After a whole lot of trying and reading, and getting Windows Media Center working, I found drivers that would let me use the TV tuner via cable TV, but I'm still stuck on the whole composite/s-video bit.
WMC has no option for connecting anything via composite and the other software I tried, the WinTV2000 that came with the driver download, only works when it feels like it, although I did get the composite to work with the 1 second or so delay. Not good enough to play any games at all, but atleast it's functioning to some extent.
When I set up GB-PVR, with any option possible tried on playback decoders and capture sources, I'm pretty much stuck. I can tune in channels and composite also and get sound, but no picture. I have the nVidia video decoders and InterVideo NonCSS video decoder, but they both give the same result.
I already have an M-Audio soundcard that's rendered useless because of slow driver updates, so it would really suck to have to discard this as another "slightly functional piece of hardware."
Logs attached. I would be incredibly thankful for any kind of help or even a mention about this being fixable or not (via said help or future updates and fixes.) I'm tired of searching forums, googling and reading with no results. : /
Hi Guys,
I am having problems directing my LiveTV and Recording directory to a different drive. In the GB-PVR Configuration under the Directories Tab, I changed the Recordings Directory and the LiveTV Buffer Directory to a different drive. Live TV didnât work and the Recordings didnât save, even thought it said it was recording. What have I done wrong?
