I've just uploaded the PVRX2 version (v1.0.0) of SearchWiz on the Wiki. It is still missing some features of the prior v0.5.2 version, in particular:

* create multi-line label for help and IMDB lookup
* On screen keyboard
* User configurable Help screen
* Enable default maintence settings in config panel
* IMDB lookup for shows with specified genre

I will be adding these features back as time allows.

Note: When installing with GBPVR 1.0.8, manually copy gbpvr/Plugins/common/WizUiHelper.DLL to gbpvr/WizUiHelper.DLL.

I'm new to capture cards and PVR, so I don't really know what I am doing. Otherwise I generally know my way around a PC. I have an HVR-1600. I have been able to connect my cable TV to the digital side of the card, and using GB-PVR I was able to scan for clear QAM channels, and see the video in the tiny preview window when mapping digital channels. At that time the config utility was locking up when I said OK, and trying to view live TV with either GBPVR or PVRX2 would cause them to lock up (Windows said they were not reponding).
Since then, I switched to the analog tuner on the 1600, and am taking in the channel 3 signal out of my cable box. I re-installed GB-PVR, trying to get it set up using the minimum number of changes in config. Config saves fine now, but viewing live TV still locks up PVRX2. The WinTV app works fine. Below is a section out of the PVRX2.exe.log:

I just upgraded to 1.0.8, and now the graphs that are normally created in the c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr folder are not being created. Am I missing something?

PS. I have another question regarding patches. I noticed that the patches to fix QAM tuning on the HVR-1600 and fix Mpg Muxes both contain NativeUtilities.dll. How do I apply both patches?

Hello,

I'm trying to use this DVB-S device with GBPVR, but so far have not been able to capture any channels. I have searched on one transponder I know is reasonably strong (and which works with other software), but though the search briefly shows a high signal strength and quality, it fails to find any channels.

I had to add this device to the BDA list myself, having done the filter check on my computer, so I have attached the filter check results and my adjusted BDA file just in case I have configured it wrongly.

Thanks for any advice,

Frazer

I have a 42" LCD tv, I always watch the tv @4:3 mode, i.e. I have to use the windows mode. After 3 months, the tv starting to have burn-in at the edge of the window. So I write a program using "autoit" to move the window 1 pixel a minute from left to right and ves-versa. However, when I try to change the height of the window more than the Desktop screen , so that I can hide the tilte of the window, I failed. It seens like the program limit the height must be less or equal to the height of the desktop screen.
I wish it can change the height of the window limit, as least for 25 pixel

On two machines now I ran both install files, but when I went to open config or either .exe file, I get:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135) Click Ok to terminate the application.

Help!

And thanks!

I have just bought my second MVP. Both will be connected to two 4:3 CRT TV's. I'm thinking of buying a new wide screen TV, so can I run one MVP as 4:3 and one as 16:9?

If not I guess I'll need to buy two TV's - DOH!

0.99.12 is my version and all of a sudden I noticed that my hd shows are saving in mpg instead of dvr-ms format used to be that they saved in dvr-ms format. Then again I installed a new driver for my avermedia a180 after I had some more problems with the tuner I e-mailed their support. I don't know if you guys remember, but I had a problem with shows cutting off immediatly after starting to record and that seems to be gone now. Maybe that had to do with reception drop-outs. However I just want to know is there a disadvantage in the mpg container, and is this the driver or did version 0.9912 do this.

PS: One advantage is that most of my conversion and editing utilities can handle my hd files now :p

I thought I would post a pic of my community skin 'look' - I'd be interested to see others share theirs, especially, any customisations...

Hello -

Posting a feature request to have ML2 read flac tags. Some info about the tags: http://flac.sourceforge.net/faq.html#general__tagging.

The format for tagging flac is similar to the Vorbis Tag; the "References" section has a link to the specifications.

I can send a sample flac file if its useful for building support.


Thanks!
