I think this problem has been mentioned elsewhere, but wasn't able to locate the thread. Basically I have found that when restarting the PC the only way I could get the recording service to work (i.e. record shows, clicking on the icon in the task bar for getting the tuner status display, etc) was to go into task manager and end any/all GBPVR.exe instances I found. Once I did this, then the recording service became 'responsive' and I could restart GBPVR.exe without issues. If I did not do this I also found that the configuration panel would also freeze as well when clicking on 'OK'. I would assume that this was due to it trying to restart an unresponsive recording service.
This problem has been there for awhile, but since I usually let the PC hibernate where this problem doesn't exist, I haven't mentioned it earlier.
Looking to get the usb tv adapter working with this software any help would be greatly appreciated <sorry should have read the posting rules 1st, getting required info> Okay logs uploaded and i'm using v0.99.12
curious what skin everyone's using. any skin that looks like beyond tv, tivo, or replaytv? I like how the fonts in those programs are really smooth w/ shadows underneath the text.
When I use a client, Guide, Live TV, Recordings are from the server.
However, Video, Photo and Music libraries, are from the client.
Why?
Why not allow the server to stream the other medias as well? and save users from having to define the folders where the files are, and having to share all the relevant folders, etc?
Or, if you insist on having the client being able to show their own media, could have one of the two options:
Main Menu->Video Library->
then show in the folder list [Client Side] [Server Side] and from there drill down to the relevant folder/files.
Or:
In the left menu of the Video library, have a button (like mode) that toggles between server and client files.
First off I must say that I am pleasantly pleased with what I have been hearing about GBPVR and the community behind it. I have a couple questions about my first home brew PVR.
The system is:
AMD 2000+
1GB RAM
60GB HDD
Integrated video (can add a ATI 9250 or 9550)
DVD-RW/CD-RW combo drive
SB LIVE 5.1
What I want to do is:
- Watch TV on my PC
- Record shows to hdd for burning/viewing, convert to ipod for the wife..
- Schedule automatic recordings of shows
I do not need to view the PVR on a TV however. I just want to view it from my PC's monitor. I have a Xbox 360 with media connect running for media so if converting to .wmv would be an option, that would be best.
I was thinking about a PVR-150 with the remote. I can get it through my work's vendor for $70 shipped. Now for my true question, will I need anything else other than a coax cable coming into it? I have heard people saying they got bad cables from Hauppage but I am unclear as to what cables they are talking about.
I have Comcast cable and I have one box in our family room for the on demand service and a line just running into our bedroom going straight into our TV (no set top box, no digital channels or on demand). This is where I want to put a splitter and run it 5ft into the back of my PC.
Is this all plausible with my current machine and the PVR-150? Sorry for the long winded post but I wanted to make sure I gave you guys enough info! Thanks in advance!
