i'm setting up a htpc for a friend with a new hvr1600 and i must say i like it!
dual tuners, yes, both usable at same time, very nice picture quality...
QAM support with beta drivers, which seem pretty stable..haven't played with the qam stuff much yet tho...

and while playing with decoders, i setup the intervideo codec with vmr9 and checked the "show cc's" in config and yes! it shows closed captions!
even on recordings...so finally a decent closed caption option...
so sub, if you need any test recordings let me know..
and is there a key to turn them off temporarily?

will let you know how it comes out with HD and QAM cc's when i get some recorded..yep, works with hd streams recorded to mpg...

edit: HD cc's are kinda jumbled, like the spaces are black squares instead of clear..so would be nice to have option to turn cc display on and off from remote..SD cc's are perfect..

also, the new driver cd has a new irremote.ini that lets you use MCE remotes and also controls MCE as well...

now i can use that gbpvr plugin for MCE...[launches GBPVR from MCE,and back when gb closed]

Hi, I know I`ve got to make a batch file to run and update XMLTV, so my listings update automaticly, but I dont know how to create batch files.

Can someone please explain how to do this

Thanks for any advice

Hi just a question,

I`m sitting in work and I`m trying to access EWA on my PC at home, But unfortuatlly I can`t, could the reason be the computer at home is in hibernation.

If so are there anyways to wake it up from hibernation, remotely from a outside the network pc via the internet.

Thanks for ant advice

Pete

Well, I can see program data now, so I know that's not the problem. Here's an interesting bit from the log:

All I get is a blank screen when I select live tv.

Also, I changed my channel lineup in zap2it to be the non-digital variety as someone suggested in my previous plea for help.

Using Windows Vista
Hauppauge 350

Ok, first off - thanks for adding the date/time at the top - very useful.

Second, now that I finally made GB-PVR show time in 24H format, I found the SearchWiz is partially compliance. Notice?

These are taken from my dining room new setup, in the dining room.
(i have my bedroom setup for my analog channels)
Anyhow why is that a conflict? nothing is conflicting cept maybe the buffers, but i have other shows recording with same buffer of same stations. Why is it just them?
Will just leaving it unresolved effect my records when they go to record?

I'm looking for 720p test patterns. I know of getgray and Avia, but I would like to find some free ones. THere is a great collection of 1080 patterns on http://www.w6rz.net/

Anyway if anyone knows of a downloadable DVD, let me know.

Hi all;

A couple times now, I come in, a show is half recorded, and I start watching the recording before the show is finished. It all works well until the show finishes, comskip starts up.

At that point I lose control of GBPVR (although the video plays just fine still, I just can't pause or manually skip forward in 15 sec. blocks), remote button pushes mostly don't get processed, and even if I try to just watch through at some point it freezes up. lots of HD gronking later, (I wait a long time, I haven't had it recover on its own), I have to rudely reboot (OK, it's onlyl once I had to reboot, the other times it finished fine).

I guess I've always waited long enough for comskip to quit working, not sure why the HD still has activity. Video plays fine, comskip blocks marked, etc.

Is there a way around this? Decrease comskip run priority? A way to set up a flag for comskip to look for, if a show is being played delay processing?

I don't know of a way to turn on/off automatic scanning without changing config which interrupts playback (and the recording which was still going on).

PVR-350, so hardware help with encoding and decoding, 1.7GHz, 1gig RAM.
I don't know how much comskip normally loads the system in terms of %, but since I do VNC in without lag often just after recordings are made and it should be running, it doesn't seem likely it's loading the system to the point of almost complete shutout of other I/O. GBPVR also works fine (buttons respond, other recordings are playable, etc, while comskip is working on the just-finished show in those cases- just not if I'm watching the show).

Thanks!

I can view ATSC in WinTV2000. Every time I try to watch ATSC live TV in GB-PVR, however, I get the following error:

ERROR: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

I can close the error popup and tune to DirecTV through the S-Video input for a few seconds but my PC completely locks up afterward requiring the power cable to be pulled out and reinserted. All other features of GB-PVR seem to work OK. Only ATSC gives me issues. Here are my system specs:

HARDWARE: Athlon 64 3200, MSI K8N Neo Platinum, 1GB RAM, Hauppauge HVR-1600, ATI X800

SOFTWARE: Windows XP SP2, GB-PVR v0.99.12, Catalyst 7.5, nVidia PureVideo codec, Hauppauge drivers 3.4b

Attached are my logs. Let me know if you need any more info. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
I have been a big fan of VA for years now. I recently redid my PC for the first time since I put GBPVR on it (2½ years) VA has always worked even though I have had issues with finding videos in it.
Now I cannot get any version to run correctly and now it just hangs at "please wait". I am running 99.12, what is the best procedure to start from scratch with VA and what version should I use for best bet on getting it to function?


Also I think I have asked this in the past, but I don't remember the answer. I really don't want to use the DVD listing part at all and it seems to move some shows into that list. Is there a way to prevent that, or to edit a db to move them back as shows? I almost depend on using VA to help resolve conflicts and help me decide which shows to cancel. The archive function is great, but I can get by manually without it by using the import function in config.exe and MpegImport to create xml file. I also don't want to retrieve any info or folder pics, just mainly view pending recordings by show name.

thanks again!
