I messed up something in the post processing batch file which caused all my recordings to be renamed. I've renamed them all back but they won't show up again in GVPVR. Is this because it saw that the files appeared missing and so deleted those recorded shows from its db? And is there a way to fix this?

Has anyone gotten a GENIATECH HDTV Thriller A8000 to work with GBPVR? They're going pretty cheap on eBay and I thought about trying one out - but don't really want to be a beta-tester If you have gotten it to work, were you able to get the analog side working as well as the HD side?

I recently downloaded a video file that was High Def. It's an MPEG file and plays fine in any program I've tried to play it in except GBPVR. Sometimes it only refuses to play, while other times it may freeze GBPVR and I have to restart it. Any ideas, or should I zip up the logs?

Can't seem to find an easy, reliable way to split my mpeg2 files. So would be cool if there was an option to start a new recording file when the file size of a recording reached a certain limit.
Would be easier to then burn the files of fixed sizes straight to cd/dvd

I bought an OnAir Gt last week. After messing with it for a while, and having to purchase a signal amplifier, I ran into an interesting problem. The computer I plan to use is an MSI AGP MB, 1 gig ram, Athalon 64 3000, PNY 6200GT with WinXP Pro. I did this on the DVI port of my LCD monitor. The video was jerky and quite bad. After doing everything I could think of, I decided to plug it into my regular computer, an Asus AGP MB with 512 MB ram, Athalon 64 3200, and a PNY Quadro FX 500 with WinXP Home. This is plugged into the vga port. It worked perfectly. Since I had just done a clean install on the Asus computer due to a fried HDD. I decided to do a clean install on the MSI. This did nothing. I then swapped video cards, and this also did nothing. This is happening in or out or GBPVR. Any ideas? I did not try vga on the MSI computer with either card.

I have ffdshow installed, aswell as mediplayer 9 and media classic.
I'm enabeling subtitles in ffdshow and the .idx and .sub files are named accordingly to the .avi file. All three files are located in the same directory.

Still no subtitles shows up via ffdshow.
If I play the file in media player classic it's built in subtitle support kicks in, not ffdshows.

Some help would be convenient now when I got surround sound and everything up and running.

I haven't had a tuner in my dev system for over a year but have been able to use it for plugin development anyway.

I recently tried a WinTV-HVR 950 in my dev system to see if the antenna on top of our condo building gets OTA HD channels. I didn't get any digital channels so I uninstalled the HVR 950 and ran HWCLEAR.EXE to get rid of some stuff it left behind in the system tray. I guess the HWCLEAR also removed some drivers that the PVR-150 had left behind during its brief stay in my dev system and now I can't add any capture devices in gbpvr's config as it complains about drivers not being present.

Is there any way I can use the analog side of the WinTV-HVR 950 in gbpvr? Is there a way to setup a "fake" tuner in config.exe so I can associate an EPG to it and use my dev system for plugin development? Does anybody have an old tuner they never plan to use they want to get rid of?

I just got laid off so "go buy a xyz" is not a good suggestion as far as WAF (minister of finance) goes. I'll probably return the HVR 950 if I can't use it in my gbpvr dev system since the analog picture quality is much worse than with my PVR-150's.

I am trying to configure GB-PVR with my Terratec Cinergy 2400i. The GB-PVR config finds it when I setup the BDA source, but when I come to map the digital channels to EPG channels, I get an error saying that is is unable to start the BDA device. I then OK this and it then comes with an unhandled exception error. I am running this in Windows Vista if that makes any difference. Here is a copy of the log file:

Ok, now i dont know if i didnt this correctly but when I was programming HIP to control my STB I ended up programming 0-9 using my actual remote from my cable box. I dont know if that is the remote I was supposed to use or is i was supposed to use the MCE remote. I had no success with the MCE remote the first time to change the STB. However, as i mentioned earlier, the MCE remote was sending commands to hip and the OSD was changing channel but not the actual picture.
Now that HIP is programmed with the code from the remote from the cable box, it works. So now i have 2 OSD when i change the channel, which is not a big deal. I'm fairly certain that this is NOT the correct way to get the MCE remote to change the STB, but this was just a way to try to figure out my problems.

So, now i present my question.
If i programmed HIP to follow the EXACT instructions on the PDF tutorial and the ODS does show that it's receiving commands and not actually changing the channel, what would case my channels not to change?

I hope this is clear.

I am really confused (and I am probably not the only one who is) about the different kinds of ffmpeg's and other decoders like menpower and the gui versin of the ffmpeg.. or I read somewhere here that there are even other decoders for this porpose. I am trying to watch an avi and wmv files through the MVP and it is not working at all the screen goes black for 20 sec and then comes back after which MVP restarts.
If anybody can post some working setups or link to educate myself on that topic I would really appreciate it.
Also I see that many of you guys are changing the config.xml file... is that really needed and what does it do to the transcoding ?

Thanks in advance
