I've been using an MCE blaster driven by Hip for quite a while with no issues. A week or so ago I started using this machine to act as the server for my MVP boxes. I set up config to start 3 instances of the MVP server. It worked fine but I started getting that window with the 'This is the MVP server process...' message. Based on some advice I found here the forums, I unset the 'Allow service to interact with desktop' box for the GB-PVR Recording service and that stopped the window. However, it also seems to have affected the IR blaster somehow. It would work fine if I selected a program in the guide and clicked on Watch...it would change the channel just fine. However, it would not change the channel for a recording. I went in and re-set the 'Allow service...' box for the recording server and now the blaster works fine again...but I get the MVP window.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there something I need to set in Hip? Any other ideas? For now I've turned off the MVP servers but I'd like to be able to run both.
Last night (the 23rd) i got 3 zero byte recordings. I've had a quick scan through the logs and found one of the places, and it detected the "unusually small" file and gave it another go. But i still got a zero byte file. Yet, today everything is recording fine.
If I view live, the aspect ratio is set to 16:9 wich works since I have a 22" widescreen and 42" plasma widescreen, but when I view recordings, they are not widescreen.
16:9 is set in config, and I am using PureVideo for the mpeg2 decoder.
Purevideo is set to the following:
Display type: anamorphic/raw (says this is for 16:9 widescreen)
Prefer overlay is selected.
In GBPVR config, the renderer is set to VMR9 Custom (if this matters)
Any help is appreciated, and I attempted to search this issue in the wiki and this forum, if it has been answered please just link me.
I'm comfortable with procedural languages (assembler, cobol, PL/1, VB, etc) but completely new to OOP and C#
I am following the HelloWorldTask tutorial using SharpDevelop and have a problem when I come to include the IMenuTask class in my code (bottom of page 16). The tutorial refers to a Visual Studio function which automatically implements the code stubs for the interface. I can't figure out how to do this in SharpDevelop. I suspect I need to get involved with Tools/Auto code generation but I cannot persuade the Auto code generation dialog box to come out of hiding (I can run a clean build). Help :o
this happens sometime and after deleting every country due the config app
and add them new again, everything is fine for weeks ...

I've just started using gbpvr in the lounge using an MVP and ethernet back to a 2.3Ghz 512mb P4 PC and I was wondering if anyone is using one of these cards sucessfully?
Link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pinnacle-PCTV-Du...752&sr=8-2
Whats puzzling me is the following:
The card is detected as 1x "Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T Dual". I've added the Pinnacle card twice as Pinnacle Dual1 (Dev 1) and Pinnacle Dual2 (Dev 2) under capture sources with a freecom added as freecom usb set to Dev3. I'm uncertain if this is the right way to get GBPVR to deal with the cards esp given the Dual tuner capability as I'm getting incomplete channel listings when I scan. Is there a further adjustment needed in the gbpvr config files?
I seem to have a bunch of channel listing / reception issues.
I'm setting my capture device regions to "Northern Ireland", "Limavady" (nearest transmitter, about 5 miles away) http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=IC711296
The antenna in the attic gets a consistent strong (80-95% bar) signal on our regular freeview box for all channels. (The freecom USB which I had previously seems to have fewer problems which is strange in itself as it's quite finickity to get working in the 1st place.)
However when I scan, I get the BBC channels and a bunch of other stuff going missing. Strangely it's mostly channels which are on lower transmission strength that appear consistently whereas the ones at full power come and go on repeated scanning. Totally removing and readding a capture source seems to help in getting a fuller scan list BBC reappears, Sky News and others go. Not setting a region gives a different inconsistent list usually - BBC etc appear the hitsa nd others go.
Any advice or feedback on steps for setting this up to work consistently is really appreciated.

I have been using Meedio but recently switched to GBPVR and MVP and I am really impressed so far with three exceptions.
1. My MVP seems to lock up then restarting it only "trys to connect to server"... you then have to go to the pc and restart the service. is there any way to reboot the service each day... I have girder installed so could do it this way!
2. the video library is great but the cover art seems to big for the icons so only half shows...
3. is there a way to just select play from the icons instead of having to click on the cover art then select the AVI (all divx)?
My Skin is MCEblue.
otherwise love it and so does my 5 year old daughter as this is for her room so need it simple!!!
I wonder if anyone has suggested for a way to keep a recording with all the EPG information by transferring to the Video Library? i.e. I don't want it listed under recordings anymore but want to archive it.
