I've done programing, but only web stuff. I wanted to make a thin version of "My Videos" before IMDB makes some change and it can no longer get posters/info from there. I also want to fix some minor bugs it was left w/, too.

I have a copy of Studio 2003, but I can get my hands on 2005. Is it a big improvement to use it? I was assuming so to take advantage of the .net 2.0 stuff.

Also, how up to date is the dev stuff in wiki? The UI Elements seemed current, but everything else looked pre-.977

Hi

I get an error when trying to run Xrecord
something like "error indatastring had wrong format" ( I get the errortext in swedish) happens when I try to use Xrecord in GBPVR - same for Xsearch and Xguide.

I just upgraded from ver 9516 to 9912 and changed to SQL lite
everything else seems fine

any ideas?

Hi,

I have a USB-UIRT that I purchased so that I could learn the codes off my set top box. I was able to learn the codes off of the remote. But obviously I can't use that remote to control GB-PVR because it'll change channels both at the STB and on the program. I have the Hauppauge 45 button remote that I could use. But I can't figure out a way to send the STB commands from the 45 button remote.

I've been trying to figure this out but so far the only way I can see this working is to use a 3rd party solution such as HIP (it's free) to map the buttons to the correct commands for the STB? Is this correct? Or is there something else I can do in GB-PVR so that I can use my Hauppauge remote to send out the STB commands? Sorry for the noob questions... but maybe someone can help me out. Thanks!

Hi Folks....

Any advantages from switching from windows 2000 server to Windows MCE 2005?

I am upgrading my HTPC...case, hardware etc... would I gain anything.

Thanks?

I have an early version of the above tuner. I think the card is Model 909 with the Technotrend driver and I am unable to get GB-pvr to recognise it. I have used Graphedit and only the driver found is for my other tuner -Kworld USb 355 - is listed.

I would like to use the Nova Card with this excellent software. Can anyone help resolve this.

I'd love to have a plugin to tie into something like LaunchCast or Last.FM. Is anybody working on this? Where would be a good starting point for a .Net developer who would be willing to 'Roll his own'?

Having just done my first bare OS+GBPVR install for years on Win 2K, it didn't go
quite as smoothly as I thought, due to some missing sofware....

To help future Win 2K installers here's what I think is the minimum required not including drivers etc for your TV card.

Min requirements for a Windows 2000 install:

1) Win 2K
2) Service Packs (recommend 4)
3) Microsoft Installer 3.0 (required for .Net)
4) .Net 2.0
5) MDAC 2.6 (or greater)
6) DirectX 9 (or greater)
7) Windows Media Player (9 is latest for Win2K)
8) GBPVR

Cheers

I am developing my own graph recorder plugin to be able to use enhanced teletext features of my Theatrix 550 analog TV card (It uses ATI WDM drivers).

I can not find any documentation on how to set/save programatically the compression parameters for the ATI hardware encoder DS filter. Standard DS compression interfaces are obviously not supported. Can anybody help me with this?

Hi,

I've just migrated from MythTV to GB-PVR but I'm having problems with my video not running smoothly. I presume this is a video card issue as I'm running with an old gf4 mx and my TV resolution is 1366 x 768.

What would be the minimum video card required to run sd tv smoothly at this res?

Cheers

Hi I'm trying out ML2 and have troubles with the collections.

In the config, I have added the following paths:

d:\music\mp3\
d:\music\mp3\classical
d:\music\mp3\jazz
etc...

and then, for each of these subdirectories, I've created a collection.

In the interface, I see default all my music, but when I select a collection, it shows no entries at all. Did I miss a step or so?
