I have been taking the programs I record with my PVR-150 and transferring the files over to my main PC. I then edit out the commercials with Premiere and burn them to DVD.

Everything looks great on my computer but when I go to play the DVD's on a DVD player it becomes jerky. I have tried using different programs to make the DVD's and also lowering the bit rate.

I currently record on my HTPC with the GBPVR settings on high.

Can anyone offer help with this issue?

I love gb-pvr, but the one thing i want to know is, is there any other way to start recording a program while watching it, without having to go back to the main menu to get to the quick record??

Also, is it possible to record hdtv in this program? Becasue my usb stick is hdtv ready.

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps

Long time troller here that finally has a question that he can't find the answer to.

System:
GBPVR 99.12
Hauppauge PVR 150 with remote
Hauppauge PVR 150MCE
Radeon 9800
160gbX2
Windows XP

I can't enter time shift mode anymore. I get the Error: Failure to play back file message whenever I try to use timeshift. I don't use this feature very often so it's hard to say when it started. I did notice that one of my recordings recently would not play back in GBPVR, but it did play in WMP. I thought this was fairly odd. I did just upgrade to a second 150. However, the recorded file that wouldn't play in GBPVR was before I upgraded.

Hopefully some of that makes sense. I'm not at my PVR right now, so if you need the logs just let me know and i'll post them tonight. Also, by zipping the logs do you mean just zipping the entire Logs folder and posting them?

Small addendum: How do you edit the 45 button remote buttons. I would like to set my red button to F7 for aspect.

Hi there.
I just started using GBPVR and MediaPortal, and must choose between one of them. GBPVR is more faster and stable than MediaPortal, but as I see it, has one important thing lacking, which is the lack of a fast forwarding feature. This part is a lot better implemented in MediaPortal.

The GBPVR default skip control setting is not very useful, so I wanted to know how other users have configured it. Or if there is another viable alternative to improve matters (like using another video playback plugin or external app).

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi guys and in advance thanks a lot for this great job.

I'm new here in GB-PVR and like to mach the program and i can see this program could help me to much in my HTPC. I live in Spain and i have a legal subscription to Digital + (Satellite Platform).

Well, i have two tuners: the first one Hauppauge HVR-1300 works fine with DVB-T and have no problems scanning and linking with my EPG guide. The second one is HVR-3000 (DVB-S) and here is my big problem.

Installed the MDPlugins in the correct folder, I try to use Poor man’s cam in order to use my card with a Phoenix reader. When I go to scan the transponders it found the signal but in every one transponder founds the same channels, repeating and repeating the 10-12 channels founded in the first transponder until arrives the last transponder that found 10-12 new channels. So, I just have 30 channels but 700 times the same.

Another ting I don’t understand is that don’t found any free channel. Only encrypted channels. Is it usual?

When the program is scanning the DVB-T card I have and can see the preview but with the DVB-s isn’t preview. Is that ok?

I have the last version of GB-PVR and the 0192.ini that includes the installation process. (February 2007).

Any help?

Thanks again and excuse me for my bad English…

Ok - We missed Lost tonight, my wife SWEARS that she checked and it wasn't schedules so she hit the record button and it appeared red in the guide - For some reason it was missed as a re-occuring but its in the guide as "Lost." not "Lost" so that may be why.

How can I tell if she really did schedule it and if so why it was missed or did she do something wrong?????

I've taken a copy of the Logs folder now so I won't lose the "proof" but I'm at a loss as to why we missed this.

Any help appreciated! I'm wondering if this is human error or whether maybe theres an odd bug with Titles ending in the Full stop or something?????

I'm running a dedicated GB-PVR computer which will be connected to a 50" plasma in the living room. What I want to do is distribute music (and maybe recorded tv shows) from this computer to 4 other rooms in the house. "Fairly simple" I hear you say, but I have a few constraints:

1. It needs to be a neat solution, i.e. wall mounted, with as much of the wiring/components as possible hidden from view. Could be in a cabinet in a different room if necessary.
2. I don't want to have a keyboard/mouse to control it.
3. Each room needs to be controlled individually, but not from a central point
4. WAF must be high!
5. Can't cost the earth!!

My house is currently under construction so I can do pretty much anything I like with regards to wiring, etc. The plan is to have a wired 100mbp network throughout the house feeding back to a cabinet in one room (not one of the rooms I need to distribute to).

Any ideas gratefully received!

Hi,

I update the epg manually about once a week using xmltv.....heres my problem

If one of my reoccurring programs change its showing time I get both programs overlaping on the guide and both set for recording with my dual tuner card.

I empty the epg before importing the new one. If I view my guide after emptying the epg, the guide is empty apart from all my scheduled recordings. This is whats causing the overlap. The new guide is then imported with the new showtime and then both are set for record.

My only work around for this is when I see the shows overlap I have to remove the recording from the scheduler, delete and import the epg and the replace the reoccurring program.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dan

In preparation for the new release, I've done some work to the Plugins and Utilities sections of the wiki...

In keeping with some ideas that Fatman_do and others started, please place a 'tag' on your wiki page (The main one, if you have several sub pages...)

There are lots of Plugins and Utilities, and I know that I don't know the status of every one. So even if you are not the original developer, maybe you could post a list of the plugins and utilities that you use, that you know work with the current version of GB-PVR...

I will be watching this thread, and I will try to help by updating the appropriate wiki pages.

And anyone else with wiki admin rights, of course, feel free to do some updating too.

There's a bit to do. And we will have to do it all again once 1.0 hits. But it will really help out new folks when they want to try out some new features...

Thanks

I don't mind having GBPVR check to make sure duplicate recordings don't happen. I'm having a small problem though. Even though I deleted the file of a recording, when that identical show was aired again, it didn't record. Is there some internal list I can go into to delete the reference for just that episode, without having to turn the "don't duplicate recordings" option off all together?
