I just installed the VideoArchive plugin and configured my episodes directory and my movies (dvd rip folder) directory. I installed all the required extras and configured the correct paths to the tools.
The episodes folders and the movies folder contain mainly avi files.
The plugin is downloading folders.jpg images.
the only thing I wasn't too sure about in the configuration was the permissions tab, I left that unchanged.
I can see pending recordings but nothing is listed in any of the other lists.
I didn't want to hi-jack the showburner thread so thought I should start a new topic. It seems gbpvr isn't recording things in fully dvd compliant mpg format. Showburner is unable to mark the comskip commercial points as chapters and if I fast forward faster then 2x or rewind, it takes me back to the menu.
pBS suggested I try re compressing the mpegs with the following FFmpeg Conversion,
Doing this corrects the problem but I don't want to have to do it for every recording I want to burn.
How do I make gbpvr record to an mpg with dvd ready parameters? Do I just have it mis configured or is it possible this a bug between gbpvr & my tuner card... its a MSI ATI Theater 550 Pro.
One other thing maybe worth mentioning... as a test I recorded 10 minutes of tv with the bundled app that came with the tuner, Powercinema 5. I then ran comskip on that mpeg & burned it with showburner. It worked properly.
Can someone help, if you need more info let me know. Thanks
I have been using gbpvr for a few weeks now. I am trying to get the green windows button on my remote to start gbpvr. On top of that I am also trying to setup the window focus. I usually watch the recorded program on my PC and want to fast fwd through the commercials (have not setup comskip yet). Is there anyway the remote will focus on the gbpvr window without using the mouse. I have tried the suggestions in numerous threads but nothing seems to work.
So, if I go to Recordings and then pick a Show taht has multiple recordings saved, in that listing of all recorded epidoes, I just have show + airdate, no episode details. I have to open each one to get the episode info.
I remember sub posted once where to edit/add a field to the config to add the description of each episode to that listing area, but I've searched and can't find it. Perhaps I am remembering incorrectly.... but I'd like to make that edit if I am correct-
I'm using "local volume" for my volume control and my only complaint is that there are 10 levels of volume. If there a way to get more control over volume without having to send IR to my receiver? I'd rather not mess with HIP, I can't even get it to recognize my 150 as the input source.

You will probably be aware of the comments on Media Portal's site of the ability of their TVEngine to record multiple channels from the one DVB card. I guess they do this by recording the complete mux from a single transponder and then decoding into the mux into its composite channels.
Is this something you have given any thought to for GBPVR?
