I've just upgraded to Vista and the latest GB-PVR, and config hangs half way through the channel mapping.

GB-PVR 0.9905 and my Hauppage Nova-T stick were working fine before the upgrade. As far as I am aware the settings are all the same. The problem occurs with both GBPVR 0.9905 and 0.9912.

The tuning process starts and shows a couple of channels in the preview window, with Strength of 141-142 and Quality of 100, but then hangs on channel 3 of 7, and eventually I have to kill config.

Logs attached - any ideas?
Thanks
Andrew

Config (Cature Sources/Edit):

BDA DVB-C Card
XMLTV Plugin
No channel changer required

Symptom:

When pressing Update EPG a status-window opens that says "Reading XML File". This window then stays open like this forever.

Steps to reproduce:

Using xmltv-0.5.45-win32 run

xmltv tv_grab_se_swedb -configure

press enter for URL and then "a" for all channels.

Then run:
xmltv tv_grab_se_swedb -days 2 -output tvguide.xml

In GB-PVR under settings for xmltv plugin point to tvguide.xml file downloaded in previous step and press Update EPG.

The status window now stops at "Reading XML file". At least it does for me..

I love GBPVR and the supportive people I see in the forum, so I'm hoping I can pick all you smart people's brains. I had GBPVR for almost a 1 1/2 years and it worked great. My old pc had network problems and I hibernated my pvr project for a number of months. I just got a new Shuttle XPC, swapped in my PVR-150 card and got the latest versions of GBPVR.

I thought the installation went smoothly, but I find I cannot see live TV. I even checked the Hauppage WinTV program and nothing shows up. I get the feeling this is a mux situation, but I also have no idea what I'm doing.

Here are my pc stats...
Computer Type: ACPI Multiprocessor PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Service Pack: Service Pack 2
DirectX: 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)
CPU Type: DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2000 MHz (10 x 200) 3800+
Chipset: ATI Radeon Xpress 200, AMD Hammer
Memory: 960 MB (DDR SDRAM)
Video Adapter: ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 (64 MB)
3D Accelerator: ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (RS480)
Audio Adapter: ULi/ALi M5461 High Definition Audio Controller

I've also attached my logs. I hope someone can spot something that I can fix. My patience this time around is running short. TIA!

Seems like quite a good price

Hmm - that links shows normal price - go via http://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly/ for 'today only'.

I'm moving at the end of the month and my PC will no longer be crammed next to my entertainment center. I love GB-PVR, but it looks like MVP is the only option other than building a secondary pc to leave in the living room.

MVP looks nice, but I cant play DVD over it (big deal 4 me), can't use all my plugins, and don't want to sacrifice composite cables and optical sound.

Is building a MC PC my only option, or are there other out if the box options other than MVP that will work with GB-PVR? (I'd rather use GB then other software packages that may come with other hardware such as D-Link medialounge)

I'm working on developing a Plugin. I want to debug it as it's running. Am I missing a trick to attach to a process?

I record several radio talk shows daily and point them to the directory that holds "Music Library" so I can listen to them over my media MVP. The problem is that, although the individual files are listed accurately in the Windows "My Music" file, it shows up in GBPVR "Music Library" as something else. Is there some way to have the Music Library name read the same as it is in My Music?

When I try to monitor the progress of a recording, it always shows me something that was already recorded. I have to keep pressing the right >, right >, right > to go to the latest. I tried the >| but I dont' know why, it does not seem to work. So if the show has been recorded for sometime, I need to keep pressing >. However, I think I'm still slightly behind time.

I thought it would be good to have an option to watch what is currently being recorded real-time. Like when I record a TV program using a VCR, I want to switch on the TV and watch the show at the same time as it's being recorded.

Thanks for reading.

1. When the EPG is loaded then it is possible to click on the EPG screen and get the option to watch or record a particular program. When EPG data is missing then this functionality is lost.

Change GBPVR EPG loading algorithm such that when no EPG data is available (for 1 or more channels) then the EPG grid gets populated with (say) 1 hour shows called "no data available" or similar. This could then be made to allow watching and recording from an empty epg to be possible.

2. The watch/record menu which is shown when a show in the epg is clicked upon already has some logic which modifies its behaviour. E.g the watch button doesnt appear if clicking on a show which is on later or in the past etc.

Expand this behaviour to permit the appearance of the record button and watch button to be also contingent upon a setup string in a config file. Each configured source could be set to be a record only or watch only source such that the watch /record menu does not offer to record a source which is not very good at recording etc. Wouldn't add much overhead (hopefully). Might help out those with lots of capture sources.



10minute fix for a man of your calibre.
