Not sure if anyone has seen or found this, just thought I'd mention it in case anyone was interested (my apologies if it's been raised before, I wasn't able to find it). In the June 2007 issue, GB-PVR is mentioned as part of a review of PVR software. The magazine puts it in a good light, but less so than MediaPortal in interface terms, primarily because of what they believe to be a simpler interface (I guess they need to try the latest version!) and they prefer Windows Media Center Edition, but they still applaud it and call it "ace"

Thought I'd scan in an extract just in case there's interest

I have just started using my MVP's again with the new release. The main menu screen is very hard to read and the other screens like the recordings are impossible to read. The fonts are blurry and multi colored (like the colors are not on top of eachother) This is on a 32" CRT television. This was not an issue with the older releases. The videos and live TV show OK but the skins are horrible for viewing. Does anyone else have this issue? What skin works best? I don't know of any settings that can fix this, but???

The WAF is so low that she laughed at me when I fired up the MVP for the first time. I can't even read the menus well enough to record a show.

Hi,
encountered another problem:
When playing AVI Files via the MVP sound and video is out of synch. I am quite convinced that this happens, when it is converted to mpeg on the fly. When I play them in VideoLAN everything is perfectly in synch.
Is it a problem with PAL TV? A problem with the Codecs? Any idea?

VideoLAN gives the following information

Video Stream :
Codec: DX 50
Resolution 720X576
Framerate 25.000000

Audio Stream:
Codec: mpga
48000Hz
Bitrate 128 KB/s

Any help will be appreciated.
Thx.

I have UbuRadio 1.2 in \Plugins\UbuStream\ folder. When I go into 'Find a Station', and navigate to North America, I get 'Select a Country' with an empty list.

ZRename is failing. This may be because of changes with epguides.com.

A scraper is always susceptible to web design changes. And with the lack of source code, I will not be able to fix ZRename...

I have learned a lot, and remember most. I suspect I will be giving ZRename another try.

I'm sorry to all those who have come to use and like ZRename. And thanks to all those who helped me develop the first version...

I recently upgraded to 1.0.8. I have spent the last playing around trying to get everything to work but I have failed. I have no live TV, when I try to watch TV from the guide I get a black screen then get kicked back to the menu and when I try to watch a recorded show I get 5 - 10 seconds of sound and video then get kicked back to the menu. What info will someone need to help me?

Thanks,
Tom

I'm rather new at this and just had a couple of questions for anyone who can answer. My card is a WinTV-PVR 150 with a remote running on a Windows XP SP2 box.

My questions:
1) Is there any way to start the gb-pvr program when you hit the Green Power button on the Hauppage remote? I'm using the WinTV IR program.

2) Is it possible for the gb-pvr to go into full screen mode with the remote? or even at all?

I believe that is all of my questions for now, thanks for the support and such a wonderful program.

Relatively new to GB-PVR but I must say that the new interface makes it look very professional and spouse-friendly.

I've been ignoring GB_PVR mainly because I thought it couldn't do remote viewing of live TV via a LAN but stumbled upon a mention of the feature in the release notes of a previous version. The trouble is I can't get it working.

I'm using v1.0.8 and two DVB-T cards to view and record Freeview channels in the UK, which is working fine with only a few minor problems. I then installed v1.0.8 onto a laptop and configured to act as a client using streaming. I assumed the gbpvr folder on the server had to be set up as a network share because when I did the client could "connect" and load up the TV guide.

When I select a program to watch, the server "Recording Status" window shows that channel just selected on the client is being viewed, but that's it. The client shows the channel and programme OSD briefly and then I just get a black screen, no sound or picture and the window is not redrawn if another window is moved across it. I have to kill PVRX2 executable with Windows Task Manager to get it to exit. Also, after a client has attempted to watch something, the server recording service has to be restarted otherwise any attempt to watch TV locally on the server reports that there's no signal.

I don't think its a firewall problem because its turned off; when its on then the client times out trying to the server. I don't think its a laptop video rendering issue because when I reverse the roles of the client and server the problem moves with the client - the server can watch TV locally, the client can't and locks up and the server recorder service must be restarted.

Is my understanding of the client / server functionality correct or is it meant for some other purpose? Has anyone using v1.0.8 or previous versions got this working?

Thanks in advance,

Gary

Hi
I`ve recently got purevideo and when I view video you can see fine lines across the screen, anyone know how to get rid of this? is it something to do with de-interlace mode, I`ve tried various settings and can`t get rid of them.

Also when viewing live tv I get motion blur when the camera pans around


Thanks for any advice

Hey everyone,
I'm using a dual usage HTPC (typical usage including switching users so my wife can read email while I us GBPVR on second monitor output). Has anyone found a way to enable the second monitor to output the data that I want while my wife switches over to her role on Windows XP?

Thanks,
Steve
