I've seen that the Adaptec AVC3610 dual tuner USB device can readily be made to work with GB-PVR, but has anyone used the HP branded version?
Some of the eBay auctions repeatedly declare that it will only work with MS Media Center software. I don't know if this is true because the HP drivers are written this way, or if it's just an attempt to reduce the number of returns due to "not working" with software X (and/or user cluelessness ).
I just tried updating my mame from 0.111 to 0.116 and all the games I tried failed, they just returned back to GBPVR.
When I tried the same command line that GBPVR was using from a command prompt each game complains that some files are missing from the romset, I tried them again from 0.111 using the same romsets and they worked fine.
I will continue to try and get to the bottom of it, this is just information for others.
If someone has already solved the issue or is a mame expert then please comment

The ONE thing I liked about the Hauppage WinTV software was the ability to switch between full screen - windowed with menus - window no menus
from the remote control.
I can't find any way to do it in GB-PVR, nor any way to get a really full screen without borders or the task bar.
MS Media player has that cool way of sliding the menu bar and task bar out of the way and leaving full-screen video... Maybe GB-PVR could do something similar?

Firstly I must say how impressed I am with the software - it has all the features I always thought I would want for a PVR, and that were so lacking in the software supplied with my card. I am inspired now to get a second DVB card and maybe dedicate one of my PC's just to GB-PVR.
I read through most of the wiki about installation and configuration before I even downloaded the software. Some of it did (and does) confuse me with the mutliple choices available for decoders, renderers, demuxers etc and I can envisage it putting some people off.
When it came to actually installing the software I did get stuck at the 'Capture Sources' page - even re-reading the wiki pages it just was'nt clear exactly how to add my card and set it up, for example add the card - choose a recording source - then choose settings - choose device type etc etc - in the end I felt I did it more by trial and error! It also got errors after choosing the 'wrong' card from the list here. My card is a Nova T. On the box it says "revision 9009". In device manager it lists four '88xx' devices. The hauppage setup logs detected a 'Nova T 9003' but in the end I ticked the only show detected hardware box, and chose the 90002 Nova T.
More confusion now in how to scan channels and get EPG info. I still cannot find an option to re-scan all mux's! Having read on wiki that the only EPG useable was xmltv I found the soureforge pages about it hard to understand, and decided to try DVB EPG and was suprised to find it worked!
Anyway it probably took only 30minutes to install and get it up and running, and it is great, though I have some small problems with it that I have already posted here in hope of solution.
A big thank you to the developers of this software.

Heres my question: I know you can randomly play all files in a directory, but is there a way to recursively play all files? For example, I have seasons of Family under the family guy folder:
[Mapped Networked drive] -> Family Guy -> Season 1 -> AVI files
I'm trying to re-set up GB-PVR on XP Pro (after a nightmare trip through Vista) I have the Happague WinTV 250 set up and running fine, I also have 1 of my 2 HDHomerun tuner set up. On both I can watch live TV, but when I run a test record only the Analog channels record, the HD channel records only create 0kb files in the directory.
I'm posting my logs with the last attempted HD record. TIA

When I select YouTube from the main menu I can select the lists like 'top rated', 'most recent' etc and then GB-PVR loads in the thumbnails and descriptions - but I cannot play any of the files. Nothing happens. Have tried duoble-clicking as well as pressing play on the remote.
What am I doing wrong?

I cannot find a way to lock the aspect ratio of the display:confused:
The picture on my PC can be made into any shape or size, but this also effects the TV-out picture - so if I make the PC display square the TV changes to 4:3; if I make the PC GB-PVR display oblong the TV goes back to widescreen etc.
This does not happen with media player etc because the aspect ratio is locked.

The release of GameZone 1.2 is to fix the issues around ePSXe I am in the process of updating the wiki to make it clearer on the configuration and the issues around configuraing ePSXe.
As know other files are updated then you can just change the gamezone.dll file for the new version see wiki patch build.
