I usually get jerky video playback in the first 10 seconds of recordings, namely the beginning of The Daily Show, or any during any show with slow camera panning. Any ideas for smoothest possible playback?

Just curious, has anyone figured/know how to get a harmony remote to open up gbpvr? (set it as a button)

I would think i'd assign it to d a command that the hauppauge remote would do, but I cant find anyway to customize what the hauppauge remote does.


If anyone know sand can share, that'd be awesome.
thanks

Following the lead of groover km I've made this sticky thread to post all your custom Community Skin set-ups and saved themes.

Lets see if we can get some great looking themes for others to download...

My question is whether the video capture card is an absolute requirement to run GB-PVR? The library features seem to be very nice, and I wondered whether I could use them alone. Thanks for any help/info.

so, I have noticed recently that alot of members have mentioned having babies around the house, and I was wondering how many members actually have newborns (0-3 months) around the house... and did everyone get busy in November for some reason?

I also figured I might as well extend this to see what members have kids, and what ages.

I primarily use an MVP and I'm confused about the upgrade. I want to upgrade to be ready for the Schedules Direct switch, but I don't want to break the MVP using the Contour skin with all my plugins (WAF ).

After upgrading, if I specify gbpvr.exe as the MVP server in config.xml, will the MVP still work with the old skin and plugins?

If I use pvrx2.exe as the server, what will I gain and what will I lose on the MVP?

Does GBPVR.exe use the skins and plugins from the same old directories, while PVRX2.exe uses skins only from /skin2 and plugins only from subdirectories under /plugins?

Thanks, Roy

Sub, couple questions, all using 1.0.16 and PVRX2

First, is the TV Guide OSD when watching Live TV going to be permanent? It really is of no use (at least to me and my wife). You actually have to go out to the TV Guide on the menu in order to see the upcoming programs.

Second, is the current program info OSD suppose to popup whenever the program is changing? For example, I was watching Everybody Loves Raymond on TBS last night, and when the time changed to 7:30PM, the program info OSD popped up on the screen.

Third, the screen saver is doing wacky things for me. I have a submenu called Television, and I have the Live TV, TV Guide, Search Guide and Recordings all under there. Sometimes when I try entering the submenu, the screen saver will appear and I cannot get it to disappear. I press the TV button on my Hauppauge remote to get to Live TV, then I exit out of GBPVR and restart it.

I can try to get logs of the second and third things if you think they will help. The third will be tricky though as it's not something I can repeat myself. I will also get you a log of the photo library thing I mentioned in another post.

Busy times with a 6 week old in the house

I'm running an old version of GBPVR (0.8x?) - any chance the schedules direct support can be backported to that version, or otherwise used with that version? If not, I will need to upgrade to the latest (and probably lose all my historical data...)

I posted a while back about being stuck in the dark ages rev-wise, the version I am running is still using the ms access database, and it seems like there is no upgrade path possible. I'm willing to try doing a multi-step upgrade, but I don't know which versions I need to install to get from where I am to where I need to be (or even if those intermediate versions are available for download )

So, three part question:
(1) what, if anything, can I do to use schedules direct with an old version of gbpvr, and if the answer there is "nothing" then,
(2) do you have older revs available for download, so I can upgrade from the ms access version to the sql version, then upgrade again to the latest version?, and if the answer there is still NO, then
(3) can I at least export/import the current recordings I have from my old version to the latest version?

Lotta questions, I know - thanks in advance!

Hey I am just about to start my PVR project, and I want to know if I am making the right choice on my capture card.

I was looking at the Hauppauge wintv nova t500.

Is this a good call? Can I record 2 channels at once? Any alternative suggestions?

Cheers.

Hi,

Just upgraded from 1.0.8 and now I can't start PVRX2. I get the error "Sorry, this system does not support the required VMR9 video render."

Is this really a requirement now in 1.0.16? Before I was able to set the Video Renderer to Overlay Manager, which is still an option in 16, and everything was happy.

Any work arounds? Is there a better way to start the gui interface now? I assumed it was just right click on the system tray and Start PVRX2 because that command was where Start GBPVR used to be.

Thanks!
