Hi,

I've been using GB-PVR for a year or so (having switched from dear old ShowShifter) with a Hauppage Nova-T USB2 tuner with some success. I have recently rebuilt my PC and put in 2 Hauppage PCI DVB-T 90002 cards.

System is WinXP Pro SP2 with all updates.
AMD Athlon X2 3800+
2 Gb ram
2 x 250GB SATA disks
ATI Radeo 9250 with 256Mb ram
etc.,etc.

Using GB-PVR 0.99.12

Clean install of everything.

External antenna aerial to one of the cards, loop from one card to the other.

The 2 DVB-T 90002 cards have installed fine using Hauppage WinTV CD 3.4a1

I've successfully scanned for all the Freeview channels I want to use and the picture's fine and recording is okay.

But.... only on one card.

I can't get the 2nd card to scan for channels and be available so that I can watch & record different programs.

I've spent some time working through the forum trying to find answers, but am stuck.

2 Cards show in Config as Card 1.

Any advice is more than welcome. :-)

Thanks

Robin

Has anyone tried the the Vista MVP driver posted yesterday?

In the past month or so, a strange behavior has developed on my GB-PVR box, and the poking around I've done makes me think it might be connected to Xrecord.

It seems that when priorityrecordings runs, it plows through the EPG data and adds entries to the recording queue. BUT, it doesn't take account of the entries that are already in the recording queue for some programs. Consequently I find myself with 10 identical entries for the same program at the same time. This is not a real problem, since it only records one instance of it, but it is annoying to look at my Pending tab and find that I've got 54 episodes of a weekly show pending in the next 2 weeks.

Any ideas on how to make this behave? I've used the SQlite browser and looked at the gbpvr.db3 file, and there are not multiple entries in the recording queue there... but there must be somewhere that all of these entries are getting made...

I have a Hauppauge HVR-1600 and the channel changing functions in GBPVR work fine. I would like to record programs while I am away and don't want to leave my RCA Directv receiver on all the time. I tried a test recording with the receiver turned off but it looks like GBTVR doesn't power up the receiver when set to record. Is there any way to get GBPVR to turn on the receiver when set to record a show and turn it off when finished recording? Any solution would be appreciated.

PS I tried to search through the forums but cannot narrow down the search to just my question.

Hi,

I live in Europe. We use 24-hour time here in the program guide. Therefore, for me it is very confusing and anatural to use the 12-hour time format in GB-PVR.

I would be very happy and grateful if it would be possible to use 24-hour time in GB-PVR.

I use DVD shrink to rip my DVD's so that I can use them on my HTPC, but there are numerous files. How do I consolidate them into one file so that they can be used uninterupted? Google doesn't show a guide for it, all it tells is how to burn it to disk, which is easy enough.

Following up from my post in the support forum about the uk xmltv feed and film ratings (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=27140), I had an idea for a plugin. Any feedback on this idea would be appreciated, including whether something like this has been done before!

I was thinking that most xmltv feeds should give enough information to identify films correctly in imdb (title, production year should do it 99% of the time). Surely this means we could make a "movies" plugin, which allowed the next weeks films to be searched by rating/actor/director etc? For example, you could search for all films with a rating of 8 or higher in imdb, or all films starring Harrison Ford. You could then schedule recordings for these films. It could also download poster art and anything else available on imdb!

What does anyone think? I am a programmer myself (although I have no experience of writing plugins for gbpvr, I'm new round here), and if I can find the time I'd like to have a go at this. Any comments?

Hello,

first of all this SW is great I tried a lot of diferent SW before, but using the PVR-350 for output is just giving my hardware a good time.

Ok to my problem. My PVR-350 works fine, but my new Nova-T gives me Problems.

I can install it and get a pic in the capture card section, but I not get it work for live-tv. I have installed Intervideo, Cbyerlink and the SS mux.
I checked the muxchecker and it shows me also, that the mux are installed.
(I not see the Microsoft DVR-MS then I use the muxchecker.)

Then I choose in the misc section the above mentioned mux, but I either get a failure, or after a few seconds without a pic the live tv stops.

So what am I missing?

My configuration: XP SP2, PVR - 350, Nova-T (PCI), 512 MB, AS Rock GXS41, AMD XP 1800

A quick forum search revealed nothing on this Silverstone Case -

Has anyone got LCDSmartie 5.4 / GBPVR LCD Plugin to work with the GD-01 MXR?

I've tried imon.dll and imond.dll with various screen sizes. After pressing apply, some screen sizes are accepted (eg 1x20), whereas other screen settings come up with an error 'failed to open device: DLL initialise error: imon.dll Display not found'.

Interestingly, for a screen setting that is accepted, when LCD Smartie is shut down and restarted, the above error reappears.

When the error doesn't come up, the display remains blank. iMon works, so I know the display is fine.

What am I doing wrong? (Oh, and when trying to run LCDSmartie, I do not have iMon or iMedian running, so there is nothing else trying to talk to the display)

(BTW - I've also asked the LCDSmartie forum the same question with no response to date)

I hate to steal features from other plugins, but the SuperSimpleArchive has a nice idea I was looking for. It would be nice if I could select a recording and have it moved to the DVD section for permanent archiving. Except, I don't expect the recording data to persist.

I live by the VA plugin.

Thanks,
Greg
