The problem is that the paddings only seem to get updated for the scheduled recording with status "4" (STATUS_PLACE_HOLDER), thus only the scheduled recoring representing the recording group gets updated, and not the "normal" scheduled recordings that belong to that group.
My question is now, if this behaviour is intended, or if there is a chance that this will be changed to update all recordings of a group when calling "UpdateScheduledRecording"?
First of all, this is my first post. I hope I picked an appropriate forum (Sub-forum category?). I wasn't sure where to post questions on potential setups. Anyway, on with the questions.
Can I do this in GB-PVR?:
I want to record, rewind, fast forward, skip commercials and burn dvds of my recordings. I don't need an abundant amount of features. I just hope to do what I've done with my PVR box from my cable company (I can't keep my recordings). I'm using Rogers Digital cable.
I'm using a Scientific Atlanta Explorer (SA-Explorer) 2000 series (currently, 2000 but may be using another 2000 series later).
My setup is an AMD 64-bit computer with a Hauppauge 150 (model #1047) which comes with the built-in IR blaster. The video card is a FX 5200.
I'm a total newbie when it comes to PVR software and I've been using Mythtv with the help of a linux user who is familiar with compiling and writing scripts. But, there are problems always coming up.
I wanted to try a Windows PVR system alongside the Mythtv (i.e. I'll have two computer boxes and just switch back and forth to see which one I like). If I build a 2nd computer to try a Windows PVR setup, I will probably have a similar hardware configuration. That is the plan, anyway, unless someone has recommendations for hardware.
Could anyone here give me info (and/or the related url links) on what is required to get my setup to work?
Is there any discussions that would help guide me considering my hardware?
I'm mostly concerned about obtaining the same lineup as the cable box and changing channels. In mythtv, this is a very complicated process that often requires writing scripts and knowing the codes. I am wondering what is involved (in comparison) when trying to change channels (and loading channel lineups) with a Windows PVR software package.
I've been to the Hauppauge site and it does seem like a Windows PVR software package will be easier to set up (Hauppauge seems to have better support for Windows PVR software) but I wonder how complicated it is for getting built-in blasters (or even serial blasters) to work and change the channels with the hauppauge remote etc. Is there a lot of discussions and info on how to do this here? I know it's a real hassle for mythtv systems but I bet it might take some work in Windows as well.
Btw, I can use either Windows 2000 or XP as I have both.
Thanks in advance for all replies and I appreciate any advice, links, etc.
I've consolidated the various patches and forum threads, and put links to all on the Wiki for getting CDK Scheduler working with the .Net 2.0 versions of GBPVR.
If I missed any steps, can somebody please update appropriately, I'm still using the version prior to th move to .Net 2.0 so haven't tested these steps.
This is an odd one but would be really useful to me. I would like to open and view a program that is being recorded by another program while it is actively being recorded. If I try to open a file like this through VA or recordings, I get an error message. I know you can do this for shows that GBPVR is recording, but I can't do it for shows recorded by another program out on my network.
I can open the in-process show with VLC so I expect it can be done. I know I can set up a UBU and External recorder combination but this seems like the long way around to get to where I want to go. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
hi - i've got a modular technology mm200 pctv card and an ati tv wonder card and gbpvr says there's no cards in my two computers. i don't see my two cards in the support list so i'm hoping someone may be able to help me get gbpvr to recognise at least one of the tv cards.
my cards are connected to to my satelite decoder and work perfectly with the tv progs i've installed, but not with gbpvr. i don't try to run them together.
the drivers that work with my cards are the avermedia aver tv wdm audio, video capture and crossbar.
i would be really grateful if someone could come up with a fix for me.
So I've pushed the shuffle button in Music Library, now how do I get the original song line up back? I can't seem to un-shuffle. Am I missing something here?
I have a PVR 150 and got a Samsung SMT-2110C cable box from NTL here in the UK. AFter some hastles I found the IR blaster codeset to use (using the IRBlasterCfg.exe program. Settings North America, Cable Box, Samsung - codeset 384) and all seemed well. Except after a couple of months use I have had several recordings not work (be off the wrong channel), while most work OK.
After a bit of detective work I have found that the channel changer fails to properly send the first digit of the new channel if the last digit of the old channel was the same. All channels are 3 digits. This hapens both in LiveTV mode and for recordings. It makes no difference how many seconds, hours or days between the first channel sent and the second.
E.g. if the box last recieved 101 (all ok - changes to BBC1) and then i send 120 (sky 1), even though a red flash appears for each of '1','2' and '0' on the blaster, the box only registers 20. Likewise for 101 to anything starting with '1', or 144 to 444.
It however works fine under all the following circumstances:
- From e.g. 102 to 101, 120 to 101, 144 to 120, 444 to 144 .....
- If I change the channel using the samsung box remote control to e.g. 101 and then use GBPVR to change channel to 120 (since this works, the problem is NOT the box)
- if I use the winTV programs e.g. IRBlasterCfg.exe it also works fine (ie the problem is NOT the card or the setup)
This all narrows it down to GBPVR sending something odd to the IR blaster software - clearly it does send the first digit since you see the flash, but if must be corrupted in some way?
I attach the log and config files (where the last channel change was a 101 to 120 which failed, but I expect you can't see that from the files!!)
Any ideas would be great (I already tried lengthening the time between digits in the blaster setup, ticking pad with zeros and use 3 digits always in GBPVR - it is 3 digits anyway!)??
After alot of googling I have found an iCal libary that I can use to work with iCal files. I didn't want to write my own so the Calendar plugin has been put on hold until now.
It would be great if you guys could send me some iCal files to test it with. Use the email link here.
Also this would be a good chance to make any requests / suggestions concerning the plugin.
