I solved a rather stupid bug in comskip which caused comskip to fail on 50fps HD recordings.
Download build 67 if you want to test the new version.

Hi,

Since I've upgraded from the earlier version, I've found it impossible to have more than 2 or 3 channels showing in the TV Guide. Under v0.90.79 (?) things worked fairly well. It had taken me a while to work out how to capture channels but once done, the TV Guide was correctly populated & recordings went quite well.

Now, although I can watch Live TV on all channels, the guide doesn't really work at all. After several careful uninstalls & reinstalls, my TV Guide is actually only showing 2 channels.

Hardware is:
Althlon XP64 X2 Dual Core 3800
2 Gig PC3200 ram
XP Pro SP2 & all updates
152 Gb Hard drive
Hauppage USB2 Nova-T
Dedicated external aerial
Excellent Freeview reception

The Hauppage WinTV2000 works well and picks up all channels.

Any advice and suggestions welcomed.

I'm using DVI and overscan is pretty bad with no adjustments available so I just learned about the zoom control in the config.xml file. I set both the horizontal and vertical zoom to 0.95 and everything now fits on the screen really nice while watching TV/recordings full screen. But if I hit Home to go to the main menu or any other menu that has the little video inset window, I have a border around the video playing that shows what the last window had. Hard to describe, so I photoshopped the pic below to kinda illustrate what I'm seeing:



You can see the guide surrounding the inset video like I had viewed the guide first, then went back to the main menu and that part of the screen didn't update.

If i set the zoom back to 1.05/1.03 then the video stretches to fill that inset window.

Is there a different setting in config.xml I should use to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Hi,

I am trying to get Gbpvr to work with my ATI all in wonder 128 pro card and someone told me I needed to use software recorder. Is there anyone out there that can walk me through the setup process?

Also, how much (if any) degradation will I experience by going this route instead of buying another card (such as the hauppage)? If I decide I like this software, will it be diffacult to add in a hauppage card as a second capture device later?

Thanks for your help. d:o)

Basically, defualt the stb goes into a screensaver mode where it says "Press Select to continue". This is the second time that it recorded only that.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thank you

Hi,
I'm trying to setup gbpvr on a new installation with a Flydvb-s card.

All my attempts to tune channels fail with a "no channels found" message.
I can easily tune channels with ProgDvb (BDA drivers) so I know that the hardware should be OK.

Attached are my logs file. I do see the following error message in my log file: ERROR pTuner->get_TuneRequest() failed: 80004002
but can't tell if that's the problem and what it means.

Thanks for any help!

Hi All,
I was looking at the FusionHDTV 5 Gold card. However, after reading a post buy sub it appears that GB-PVR Does not support the QAM side? I would have to use the supplied fusion software. Is my understanding correct? Is this software good?

Should I look for an alternative card if I want QAM support? Can someone recommend one that has good reception for over the air and QAM support.

Thank you,

Confused but learning and reading.....

for some reason i have never been able to play music using the default music library so i have used the My Music plugin. currently i no longer have this plugin installed and have just been using Winamp, but would like to revisit the issue to get it working.

possibly this is a case of me just not understanding what the default plugin can do. i can play a single file fine. if i go down into a folder, highlight the track, hit play, it plays. should i be able to go up to the parent folder, highlight the folder i was just in, then hit play and get the whole album queued and playing? when i do this nothing happens, and there is no message in the log file.

right i finally got it working correctly and the guide is right. When i watch bbc channels they usally seem perfect. Then when i watch any other they seem to lag or play for a second then freeze then play again.

Has anyone any idea

is it anything to do with MUXERS ??/

Hey gang,
I need help figuring out what hardware to buy to run with GB-PVR.
My computer is outside my master bedroom in a vacant hallway upstairs. (to keep the noise out of the bedroom)
I installed a PVC pipe in the wall between the two so I can run the PC audio/video cables + wireless Keyboard/Mouse receiver to the projector(TV).
My computer is already equipped with video/audio-out hardware.
I need to purchase PVR TV tuner hardware + remote, but I want the remote to have a receiver extender to go through the wall as well.
I am trying to keep the cost down, or else I would go with the Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2.
Also, in the next couple months I will be getting a digtal cable box and would like to be prepared for that.
Any suggestions of:

1. What PVR tuner hardware to buy
   
2. What remote to buy (if the hardware doesn't come with one)
   
3. What extender to buy (if the remote doesn't come with one)
