I was watching My Name Is Earl last night, with GBPVR set not to use Live Preview mode, so always using time-shifting. It was a particularly funny episode, so I hit record and GBPVR popped up the "record to end of program" dialog, and I hit Record. So far so good. The only problem is that I've just got in to work & VNC'd in to work to grab the log files for another program, and found that the recording service status says it's still recording. The GBPVR UI seemed blissfully ignorant of this, and stopping the recording service & restarting it has fixed things up, but I now have a 10-hour recording!

This is with GBPVR 0.99.12 with most of the "survival guide" patches applied, plus the replacement non-crashy-in-the-UK-with-dodgy-DVB-T-reception PsiParser.ax.

I've tried the MVP Screen Position plugin, but I still have the top of my picture off the top of the screen. Recordings play fine, but the menu is off.
Any ideas?

Here's what I want to do. I have a program that expects a file in a certain folder (call it folder 1). I would like to put the file in a different folder (call it folder 2)than the program expects it to be in. Is there a way to put something in folder 1 that will redirect the program to look in folder 2? It would be kind of a shortcut I guess, but a shortcut did not work. Unfortunatly I can't configure the program where to look for this file.

Can anyone please explain the basics about selecting DVB-S channels.
I have installed a Hauppauge HVR-3000 card, configured recording source: inserted the correct LOF1, LOF2 and switch frequencies, chosen "Hotbird 2,6,7A,8".
When I scan the band in the "Map digital channels..." window, a lot of channels are found. Some are correct, picture and sound is as expected by looking at the name on the list, while others are not working and some expected are missing. Is there a way to configure the channels manually if they are not found by the scanning?

Example:
I would like to receive "Duna". I know all the details:
Freq: 12149
Polarisation: V
Symbolrate: 27500
FEC: 3/4
V-PID: 96
A-PID: 97
P-PID: 96
SID: 7201
NID: 318

Is there any way I can enter these? I have realized that there is a long list of channels for the Hot bird satellites in the file 0130.ini in the bda\dvb-s\ folder, but don't know if it is used for the scanning. I see freq, symbol rate and polarization on the list but I don't see V-PID, A-PID and SID.

In the scan-3.cache file in the bda folder I can see all the details for the scanned channels, and "Duna" is not on the list. I still cannot figure out where all these details about the scanned channels come from, the 0130.ini contains almost no information.
Can anybody please explain.

I've just set up by new HDTV as a second monitor with a DVI-HDMI cable. The plan is that the TV can run GBPVR and watch recorded progs. from the PC.
Beside the obvious screen size and comfort issue this also leaves the pc free if it's needed. However when the PC isn't being used (seriously, working or watch House?) the PC's monitor's screensaver never kicks in. I don't know if Flat Panels can get screen burn and obviously don't want to find out and the extra light from the monitor can spoil dark and moody scenes.

So what I'd like is to have the second monitor (TV) running (and showing) GBPVR yet with the primary monitor (PC) showing a screen saver or something. I guess folks who are using Media Center on a HDTV have a similar problem.

Has anyone got any experience or ideas how to do this?

Amused

firstly let me congratulate everyone on a great community, very friendly and helpful,
secondly here's my problem;
both tuners have started recording the same program, it never used to do this so I guess it's something I've done. If I set to record every episode in the season when an episode comes on both tuners record it and therefore I have to watch it. I have added the weather plugin recently but I'm certain this happened before that, I have added some skins but use the standard blue skin, any ideas?
I have tried deleting the recording schedule and rescheduling it but no joy.

system:
ibm thinkcentre, 3Ghz p4, 1Gb ram, 320Gb, sata hdd, win xp pro sp2, nvidia 5200 128Mb AGP, gbpvr 99.12, weather plugin,

any help appreciated

I'am on holiday and I keep checking every 15 mins. Where is it - I need it. I just can't wait any longer. DVB Radio is it in is is not. CAM support? VMR exclusive bug free. I need to download it. I need to play.

Hello all, just checking to see if anyone else has experienced problem. I have issue in which I can begin to play an AVI movie with either VideoLibrary or w. movies plugin 5.1 surround is good until I pause the movie. On resume I get no audio at all. My Yamaha receiver does not reflect dolby as it did prior to pausing. I will have to test with an actual dvd player or VLC. Anyone else experienced such. Using a Turtle Beach USB audio card and 5.1 passthough TOSLINK connection. Works fine if I connect with simple 2 channel (integrated) sound card copper.

there seems to be a fair amount of programmers on this forum so i'm wondering which MS visual studio package would people suggest I try to learn for building front ends for SQL DB's?

VB, .net, C#

I saw there is a free visual studio with VB & C# I can download from MS.

Here is another version of my test application that will use titantv's SOAP service to retrieve the tv listing. This version should fix the time problem, the time of the shows will be in the user's local time.

Please let me know if you find any problems.

Thanks
