Please help, I would love to use this program, the description, and screen shots look GREAT, and it's not a bad Price either

I just recently purchased a Hauppauge 350
I installed all of the software that came with the disk
I also updated the drivers to the latest versions.
The programs that came with it work.

I downloaded an installed the GBPVR as well as the required microsoft.net update.

I then tried to configure the thing, eventually going with Zap2it etc..
I also used the Tuner configuration, I had to click each time it seen a channel
then I updated the EPG. after setting it up with Zap2 it
what am I doing wrong?

I can't get the Video Archive plugin to download correctly, it gives me an unexpected end of file error and wont let me extract the zip. If this is a problem with the file, can someone fix it? If it is a problem with my connection, can someone send me a good copy? Thanks.

Hi, all, I've been a (very) happy GB-PVR user for about a month now. Sub's and everyone's achievements with this PVR app are simply incredible. I'm hesitant even to ask for enhancements, given how busy Sub must be working on his to-do list already, but not so hesitant as to fail to ask, just in case they're being worked on already, or trigger grand designs in Sub's brain.

I'm moving from my collection of two TiVos to a dual-tuner GB-PVR box--TiVo's rate hikes, DRM and general inflexibility finally got me moving. I've already deactivated one TiVo box (the lesser-used one), but before I can really get rid of my old-primary box, I would really like to get a few features rocking that TiVo offers, in order of preference:

1. Recording prioritization. I know that XRecord / CDKScheduler offer this, but I haven't been able to get them working properly, despite patching to Wiki specifications, with the few hours I've put in. Plus, the XRecord interface can be a little cryptic/dated-looking, and can go out of compatibility whenever GB-PVR itself is updated. I know that recording prioritization is on Sub's list of coming features--put this as an additional request!

2. "Keep until I delete" functionality within Recordings. It looks like the Video Archive plugin offers this, sort-of (saved recordings get moved to Videos, right?), but I'd really like some sort of inbuilt delete-protection flag within the default Recordings interface, and selectable when setting up a recording.

3. "Future" keyword searches, i.e., TiVo Wishlists. The ability to put in a title/description/actor/director string that will trigger recordings in guide data that hasn't been downloaded yet. Does XRecord offer this? I haven't been able to tell.

4. Timed re-record protection. If a TiVo records an episode of a show because of a Season Pass (recurring recording), it will, by default, decline to record that episode again for 28 days, to the extent guide data quality makes it possible, unless overridden by a specific request for that episode. I know GB-PVR will do its best not to record dupes of shows in Recordings (and do so better when using Zap2It), but if I delete Episode A of Show 123, and episode A re-airs the day after I delete it, then based on my experience A will be recorded again.

5. "Channel-less" recurring recordings. Basically the ability to record a show no matter which channel it's being shown on. XRecord again?

6. Expanded definition of "conflicts." It seems that GB-PVR is conservative in flagging conflicts: with 10 or more recurring recordings defined, I've only got two or three conflicts to resolve, and I know there must be more overlapping timeslots than that among the shows I've got set up. I'd expect several dozen conflicts. The expanded "to-do list" below would list all shows not being recorded because of timeslot collisions.

7. "To-Do List" view of upcoming recordings. Including reasons for recent-past and near-future shows not being recorded, like "higher priority show in same timeslot," "canceled by user," "DVR not powered on" or what have you. The "Pending" portion of Recordings comes close, but more info would be lovely.

GB-PVR does the vast majority of what I'd like it to do right now; if both my TiVos were to vanish tomorrow, I'd get by with my GB-PVR box just dandily. These features, though, would ease life considerably for me and for other TiVo expats.

I just got my Hauppauge PVR-350, and I am not sure how much Hauppauge software I am supposed to install if I plan on using GB-PRV.
This is from the Hauppauge website...

> Note: the operation of WinTV-PVR-250/350 requires two pieces: a WinTV
> driver and WinTV applications.We recommend you update both the driver
> and the application at the same time.
> Download two files to your computer:
> WinTV-PVR-350 base driver: pvr250_driver_118_23257.zip
> WinTV-PVR-350 driver update and middleware: pvr250_middleware_22_23070.exe
> You will also need to install the latest WinTV2000 Application, the latest
> Hauppauge Video decoders, the latest Hauppauge remote control
> application and the WinTV Scheduler

At what point do I stop using Hauppauge files and start installing GB-PVR?

Anyone? THANKS!

I'm getting a new media machine built with the newest versions available and I've noticed that when I've got any plugins installed, that a "Report this error to Microsoft" box pops up after I exit the program. It doesn't appear when no plugins are installed. It doesn't appear to be a real problem... but it does make me wonder what's going on.

Are the plugins listed as compatible in the wiki not fully retooled for use with the new 99.5 edition... or is it something else?

This TV tuner has two options, analog and HDTV. I have been successfull in getting the analog side to run in GBPVR but not in the HDTV mode. When I attempted to register two boards, GBPVR told me tht there is only one. Perhaps this is because you can only use one or the other at any one time. I suspect tht to get this to work, I will most likely have to toggle between each mode in the ATI software Catlyst first
Are any of the tuners listed for capture devices HDTV? The ATI tuners listed are all only analog. Any suggestion what I might use?

Thanks

Hi!
I have an old FlyVideoII tv card, and i cann't configure the GB-PVR program to see tv signal from this card.
Please, instruct me how can i configure the program.
Thanks a lot!

I have a dish 322 with 2 tuners. Basically TV 1 tuner uses IR, TV2 tuner uses built-in UHF. I have the output of both tuners going to my PVR 150's (check my sig for my setup). With TV1, I setup a serial IR blaster and it works great. I was just setting a timer for TV2, but ended up recording 20 minutes of The Simpsons while recording a [american] football playoff game. :mad: Essentially a timer from the regular season kicked in and changed the channel for me. How nice.

Anyway, I've been scratching my head trying to figure out how to change the channels on TV2 (from a PC) and have been unsuccessful. I have an older dish box somone had in their garage and gave me (dish 301) and thought about setting that up instead of TV2 on the dish 322. Then getting an IR to UHF converter kit, and basically IR blasting (both from UHF AND from the PC). Of course the kit costs around $50, a price which I'd like to avoid. Actually I'd just love to be able to have PC change the channel on TV2.

Has anyone come up with a solution?

First off, I would like to thank you for developing such a slick piece of software. I do plan on making a donation soon. I purchased a Digiwave DGP-2388 which is reconized as a Conexant 23880 Video Capture device under Device Manager. As you probably know, there is practically no software out there that support this inexpensive card. Your software is the only one that will.

For the benefit of you or other users, I had some issues with the "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" which was fixed by setting deinterlacing to "none". Second problem I had was no sound which was fixed by making changes in the "sounds and audio devices" under control panel. On my SB Live sound card, I had to go to the Voice tab and turn off the mute on my line in volume.

Some History,

I have already installed the THMpgMux.ax MUX from the Twinhan website and get the following:

GB-PVR has detected the following multiplex filters on your machine:

Found: CyberLink MPEG Muxer
FILE: F:\Derek\done\tv tuner\mux\thmpgmux.ax
VERSION: 5.0.2022

I have run the re-register filters batch file.

Now to the problem: When I record, I get a file created but the file size is zero. I have searched the forums but no luck. See attached log file.

Thanks for your help!
