This is an update of my GBPVRTray replacement, Slimm GB-PVR.
[SIZE="5"]To install[/SIZE]:
Ensure you have installed .NET Framework 2.0. It can probably be installed by accessing your Windows Update or you can follow this download link: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable
For information regarding features and bug fixes new to this release, please see my announcement post on my blog.
For all details regarding current version, please see documentation which is installed alongside the utility and is available in the GBPVR start menu group.
I've searched pretty hard, and I just can't find what all the buttons on the 34-key Hauppauge remote do on the MediaMVP under GP-PVR! :confused:
I love the functionality that the GBPVR brings to this unit, but I sure do miss the ability to press 1-9 to get 10% to 90% through a file. Is there not a similar function under the GBPVR server? I thought I read someplace that I could enter the # of seconds, and hit the "go" button, but that doesn't work.
Is there a definitive list of what all the functions available through the MediaMVP are, and what special commands are offered via the colored buttons?
NOTE: If upgrading to a newer version, MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP your MovieWiz.db3 file incase there are problems with the installation....
Since moving to PVRX2 and enjoying the enhanced UI, I've missed using the Movie plugin for managing my videos, so I've create a MovieWiz plugin.

This is a preliminary version, so most likely there will be bugs and much room for improvement.

I know there is an item in the survival thread. I have applied the patch... new version of the pvxr2 executable. This problem has not been solved.
I actually run 2 seperate machines each with XP SP2, hauppage 150 MCE cards.
Neither machine had the signal strength issue. I updated 1 machine and one started having this message the other did not. Then I updated the other machine and both have the problem.
I have relocated 1 to another "good signal" location and problem remains.
Anyone continued to have the problem after applying the update? and more importantly anyone manage to solve it?
I am trying to setup pvrx2 on a vista notebook as client.
I installed the re-dist first then I installed the current version of pvrx2 - 1.0.16. I am getting an Object reference not set to an object when trying to start PVRX2.
What I have done:
I have looked at MDAC and I appear to have 2.8 SP1 for XP and 2.8 SP2 for Server 2003.
Re-installed the re-dist file.
No improvement. I have attached a copy of the error message.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. I have 2 systems on XP and no problems apart from signal strength but thats another thread.

Firt, I've been using gbpvr for a long time, and its a godsend. I also enjoy the changes with the new update [patched]
One problem... we use a mouse on our pc-turned pvr, and since the upate, the onscreen menu for ff / pause / rw is gone! [used to appear when you moved the mouse].
The osd is present and works fine. [show info / current time, etc]. I can see the volume control, when I use the arrow keys. Keyboard shortcuts work fine [skip works]. I tried different video rendering options, but no change. The same in fullscreen and windowed.
Working on setting this up.
I have been able to succesfully setup Analogue and QAM digital on a Cable system. It was a little quirky but managed to get there.
Have noticed a couple oddities in the operation. I have setup Yapi2xml and grab one source "Digital" for both Tuners. It seems to tune them fine if I go to watch TV although they do stutter when you Watch Live TV.
I can however Record a program then go bakc and watch it and the playback is nice from Analogue and exceptional from Digital, Truly an HD picture.
One thing I have noticed however, is this. If I program one digital HD channel to record, the Tuners try to use the Analogue tuner to record that show it is just static, and then a second recording will work on the HD digital side.
If I however, set it to record on one of the Lower Analog channels first then setup an HD digital channel, both recordings run and give me exactly what I expect. An analog and an HD digital recording.
Also noticed if I start a digital recording, I can then go back and watch that recording and the playback is fine. So I am guessing that is a setting I need to work out.
So the real question is the priority of the tuners. Do i need to setup up 2 separate sources one for analog and one for digital?

I am having a problem getting Schedules Direct up and running. I installed the patch, following the directions, but I am still getting an error window:
All,
Please forgive the newbie question but what exactly is the difference between gbpvr and pvrx2? I know, I know...it's a simple question but I'm really curious
