I'm running into a problem with my guide data; namely that Zap2It doesn't provide listings for DirecTV's PPV and Freeview/CD USA channels. (To be fair, neither does TiVo, and both have the same source for their listings, so I should have figured this). Is there any way I can parse this data from DirecTV's web listings, and merge it with the Zap2It guide data?
PS, One fix for the Server box popup is to have the GB-PVR Recording Service NOT interact with the desktop. Unfortunately, that's not an option if you are also using HIP, as it relies on the service interacting with the desktop.
Could the channel and channel number be added here? If you're using logos, you lose that info on the guide. The only way to get it is to start watching and then get it from the OSD
I haven't had any luck getting the program alert function to work. It paused like it wants to tell me the other show is starting, and when I leave the program I'm watching, there's a "not set to an object" kind of error.
I hope you fine-tune and develop this function more. Short of having it change channel, it's a great new & welcome function. I know a lot of folks have been looking for something like this.
Sorry to waste space with this one, but I'm having trouble digging up information about other decoders.
I have just installed Vista and I'm working things out. One problem is that the MPEG decoder that comes with the Hauppauge 150 won't install on my system (even though they claim it is for Vista). Secondly, the Nvidia decoders aren't for Vista (so they're out). The only decoder I have is Dscaler (spelling?) and I would like to try some others as I am not really extremely pleased. Plus, I need to find one that I can use for DVD play, and Dscaler doesn't seem to be an option in the DVD menu on Config. Any ideas? What decoder should I try and where can I get it? Thanks!
Well, I'm rapidly filling up my hard drive and can't believe I've only been using GBPVR for a little over 3 weeks now but I appear to have broken it!
It works fine for all my other recordings but when I ask it to record BBC1 it seems to stick at whatever megs in the file and the icon in the taskbar stays green until I restart the service. It also still believes it's recording the programme I asked it to when I check the status.
I'd like to setup a GBPVR system but before I do, can anyone point me to discussions about its commercial advance feature? How good is it? Is it as good as ReplayTV's?
I recently started to use MusicLibrary2 because I was told it allows the composer field these days. Excellent.
I would like to show my gratitude by just hiniting on an easy to setup way to create very customzies tree structures. It's used in the Magic Nodes plugin for mediamonkey, and I would really love to see a music plugin for GBPVR that had something similar. Especially the different limitationoffers it allows, for example, don't show a genre if it has less than 20 songs.
Great work with this plugin, it seams like theres a size limitation somewhere because I always get an exception during scanning of my library, I do have some really bloated stuf in my tags so it make sence, nevertheless, I'm not missing any tracks that I'm aware of!
After solving some problems (see http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=23658; one was also to install a MPEG-codec on the client... oops). I'm to this point:
- server is OK.
- client is more or less OK on file-sharing (for recordings 100% OK, LiveTV stutters -- both wireless and wired connection)
- client crashes when using streaming (both recording and LiveTV)
Attached the clientlog for playing a recording, including tracing of GBPVR.EXE (see VCC_trace.txt) with the Access Violation (second exception in the log).
I'm trying to get GB-PVR working for the first time. It's installed and I can see that some things work, in particular, we can see the tv guide, view photos, and it appears to make a recording (file is created). However I cannot view the recording. From the recording menu the PLAY-DELETE-CLOSE menu pops-up when the recording is selected but when PLAY leads to the PVR getting hung up.
I'm not sure what information will help diagnose the problem but here are some specs of my machine:
2.7GHz Celeron
1.5 GB RAM
WinTV-PVR 150 (Hauppauge)
The Video card (?) is whatever came with the system and I can't locate specs on this--could this be the issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (My family, including three teenages, is waiting for me to get this fixed!) -- Thanks
