After installing the newest drivers for the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick, the stick was no longer detected by GB-PVR...It also seems to be renamed to the Pinnacle PCTV 800e...adding the following allowed the stick to be used:

[Pinnacle PCTV 800e]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=PCTV 330e/800e BDA TVTuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=PCTV 330e/800e BDA Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport


Has anyone figured out how to adjust the record volume on this driver? It seems to have a very quiet audio level..

I am trying to setup a system with 3 WintTV PVR 150s that are connected to security cameras via the composite input. I am looking for software that can 1) record the three streams simultaneously and (hopefully) 2) show a live view of the streams that are being recorded.

Can GBPVR handle one or both of these tasks?

Thanks!

It seems that the transcoding gets killed spontaneously when done on the fly through the MVP. after about 1 min of realtime transcoding it just dies. here is the log:

Has anyone used the dual A180 driver with GBPVR?

I have a Avermedia A180 and a Air2PC successfully installed and working. I'm getting some recordings that have bad spots that freeze which sometimes I can skip over. I'm thinking it is happening when it is recording off the Air2PC card since I rarely had the issue before when I just had the A180 installed. I willing to by another Avermedia card, especially since it runs so hot.

Another option is to look somewhere and see which card made the recording.

Other ideas?

Thanks

I think it'd be great to have a news headline displayer based on any of the news rss services.. If there's enough support I'm happy to have a go myself; you'll just need to give me time to learn c#.. hehe

I know that you can set an objects color to transparent, and have it be a gradient from one color to transparent. but is there a way to set the transparency of an object... say to 50% or something like that, so it is a solid color, but semi-opaque.

where is the manual recording popup defined in the recordings skin?

I cant seem to find anywhere this is defined...

thanks for the help

Good evening,
I'm using the lastest version of GBPVR on my barebone in the living room. This is a fresh install on XP Pro SP2.
TV works fine but Net Radio doesn't. If I select any of the station, I will get an error (screenshot attached). Can't find anything in the logs, but they are attached too.
Net Radio was working fine on the same PC in my previous installation (older version of GBPVR).

Any idea what could be causing this problem?

Thanks,
Yann

This is a really stupid question. Sorry.

I have 3 tuners - 2 identical DVB-T tuners and an HVR1300 capturing from a Sky STB. I have 2 EPGs from XMLTV for these; 1 for Freeview and 1 for Sky. There are several places in GB-PVR where an EPG update can be done - do they all work the same?

There is an "Update EPG" button on the "Edit Recording Source" page of the config utility - one for each tuner. There's an "Update EPG" option on the context menu of the tray utility, there's the "Automaic EPG Update" function on the Capture Sources tab in Config, and there's the command line option "-UpdateEPG".

Do these all do the same thing?

Does the option on the "Edit Recording Source" page only update the EPG for that recording source, or all of them?

If I update one DVB-T tuner source, does the other one get updated as they are identical but not the Sky channels (which are different)?

Finally, is it best to do a complete EPG reload with XMLTV files or doesn't it matter?

Sorry to be so thick. TIA.

Is there any way that more icons could be added to the weather plugin, such as different icons for day and night, or other weather conditions that are not currently represented in icons.

thanks
