gbpvr is the only decent PVR software that is somewhat working. But I've had a few strange problems. I setup everything following a guide I found on the internet for the Hauppage PVR-150. If I start the program from my desktop, clicking on the icon, the remote works, but when I go to LiveTV it says I didn't update my program guide, and I need to do that in the config. No matter how many times I updated it, it wouldn't work. But I found out if I started gbpvr from the tray icon, it would let me go to Live TV, but the remote didn't work. Also when I change channels it doesn't make my dish network receiver change channels. But I tried the HaupBlast.exe with command line and it changes the channel on the receiver.

It seems like if I start it from the desktop it loads different settings. But it uses the same exe either way, I checked. I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate also. Any ideas?

My DSM-520 media player died and all other media players seem to have troubles too, so I'm investigating building an HTPC.

GBPVR appears to be the only software that will be compatible with the QAM portion of my HVR-1600 tuner cards (next version, right Sub?). I already use and enjoy GBPVR, but one big problem I found for HTPC purposes is the lack of a working fast forward and rewind.

The "skip" functions are nice for getting past a commercial or something, but I watch a lot of how-to shows (building, cooking, gardening, etc.) and often watch them in fast forward till they get to the section I'm interested in. Then I'll play at normal speed from there. Sometimes nothing in the show is of interest, and I end up fast forwarding through the entire show. It would take a lot of "skipping" to accomplish the same thing and would not be very user friendly.

Any chance of a normal fast forward and reverse in the next update? Preferably one with a couple of steps (i.e. first press is twice normal speed, second press is four times normal speed, third press is eight times normal speed). In other words, something that functions just like a VCR or DVD player does.

Thanks,

Anthony

I'm trying something I saw on another thread, but I don't have ffmpeg compiled...

Could somebody help me?

I'm trying this: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg-doc.html#SEC29
but there are holes in it.

I have always found user screenshots of various setups and configurations a great way to showoff and promote the many features of an application.

It would be great to have a sub-forum dedicated to user's screenshots of their unique implementation. It might allow new users to discover the plugin that's just right for them or and old user to rediscover a long lost favorite feature.

Thanks.

Hi ! I read that pre-show / post-show padding does not apply to manual recording.

But I think it's useful for manual recording too.

If it does not apply, I would have to manually adjust the timing for each recording and sometimes I get it wrong. In my country, we don't have EPG. And the timings are in 12 hour format. I have to mentally convert to 24 hour format and at the same time, apply a 3 min padding before and after. More problems when it crosses the hour (which is most of the time). So I get it wrong. Yes it's my fault but if the padding is applicable, I would not get it wrong.

I believe the program code for padding is already there in this wonderful software. But it's a matter to enabling it for manual recording.

So it's my deepest wish that you can enable the padding for manual recording. Thanks very much.

I got my new rig up and running using the ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard using the asus spdif module out. I'm currently using the itegrated 6150 video to display the local digital broadcast over the antennea. I was playing around with the video rendering modes such as overlay because the picture would stutter sometimes when watching 1080i content. The problem I'm having is that when I try to use a different video renderer than the VMR9 FSE mode then the audio will start to crackle and stop working after the first few seconds of viewing. Can anybody take a guess as to why that would happen?

BTW it is not me or anyone I know selling!

Is anyone using the Adaptec AVC-3610 dual tuner in conjunction with the Hauppauge MediaMVP player?

I thought I read some post (someplace else? posted on ?) that stated the AVC-3610 encodes the audio data in a format (linear PCM) different than the Hauppauge tuner cards, and therefore made the resulting MPEG files unplayable on the MediaMVP.

I can't find that original post, or anything else to clarify the issue, after extensive Google searches.

I'm working on my app for taking the Yahoo Go TV listings and converting them to XMLTV and have run into a few questions.

For the channels part, which is the way it should be done:

1. Do the programs have to be in order by time, channels, any?
   
2. Are there any fields GB-PVR doesn't use?
   

after editing my postprocessing batch to run comskip, comcut and renamer, recordings to not show up in ewa's managed recording. i've attached the batch.

thanks
