My GB-PVR PC is used as a general use pc as well as for recording. We always put the PC into standby when not in use. If we do this while a recording is in progress, it causes the recording to fail. It's easy to forget to check if the tray icon is green or not, as I have found out to my cost!

Would it be possible to warn the user if they try to shutdown or go to standby while a recording is in progress?

It could then give you the option to:

• proceed and shutdown/standby
  
• cancel
  
• shutdown/standby when finished
  

I have a Lotus screencam movie of about 30 minutes that I would like to convert in .avi or whatever more current format. The screencam movie is about a software demonstration, with in the background a spoken commentary. At present people have to download a special viewer to see the movie locally on their PC. I would like to let them just click a WEBlink to see the contents.

On the net I did not find any programs that supported the lotus .scm format. I only found a suggestion to use HyperCam, which is an other screen capturing device. (I might try that one, the description was confusing on whether it took the audio as well)

Is there anyone out here who has experience with this product? Do you know of any other conversion programs?

I am aware this is a bit off topic for these forums.

Hi,

I am looking to see which computer/console I should add next to GameZone, curerently version 0.2 is just about to hit the streets.

It would assist me if people could select one of the devices in the list if you select Other then please post a reply with details.

Emulators already supported: ePSXe, Mame, Zinc and My Programs Elmulators already setup.

Thanks and have a Happy New Year

Someone suggested I try the web server for LOCAL viewing but so far have found it to be inconvenient. This might be my fault, so I'd like to know what to expect of the interface. BTW the wiki does not cover this yet.

I log into the web interface, PLAY recording, it spawns VLC and plays. How is that better than GBPVR in local mode? Does it need to spawn? Can it be viewed inside the browser(without spawn)? What works best?

Hi fellow GBPVR'ers,

I have noticed that Reven has stopped supporting (and supplying) his excellant "MySeries" plugins. To assist with peoples migration as GB-PVR goes forward I have added the Emulators part of My Programs to GameZone version 0.2.

How does this work?

Well if you have already got My Programs installed and configured then GameZone will read in the settings from the config.xml file and provide you with a way of running them.

It is my long term objective to add more emulators that have integrated functionality to GameZone but for the short term this assists mysef in mugrating fully to GameZone and I hope it will assist others too.

I have finished the new beta with ePSXe, Mame32, Zinc and My Programs I will let my kids test it for the next few days to see if they can find any bugs and then I will add the automatic install wrapper as per GameZone 0.1

Take care and have a great New Year.

Special Thanks to Sub for the new realease of GB-PVR - Thanks!

I am trying to use zap2it. I am in config. and it will not let me. Error states that the GZip header incorrect. I am a newbie and do not understand this at all. Please point me in the right direction to correct this. I am using a PVR-150MCE.

Thanks,

Wierd problem.. my HTPC ran out of room on drive C. After looking into it, it seems the log files grew until they were over 10gigs. lol. I couldn't look at them because they were too big, so I just removed them (after shutting down the GBPVR service).

The GBPVR.MDB file is over 800 megs, the "copies" of the DB from 5 days prior are only 186megs.

Any idea how I should proceed?

Thanks!

Was watching an MPEG4 movie (so mencoder was being used) pressed pause, Media MVP crashed with version 0.99.5 of GB-PVR.

Attached are the relevant logs... HELP!

I just got a wMVP and am installing GBPVR for the first time on a new computer (I had a computer-only gbpvr in the past).

I got the software installed and the MVP server running...and I can surf through the GBPVR menus on the wMVP...but if a "Play" anything (an mp3, an avi, etc...) it doesn't work. mp3s do nothing at all. Videos make the screen go black.

Mp3 and video plays fine looking at the gbpvr through the computer.

I feel like I have missed something obvious.

Thanks

1) If I set the sourceCaptureVideoFilterName and SourceCaptureVideoPinName and return the graph, will GB-PVR do the recording or do I have to remux then dump the capture? (I am assuming the audio pin is for both preview and capture.)

2) Does it matter to GB-PVR that my source is a transport stream once I demux it and set the video and audio pins?

3) What is sourceVBI* used for or is it something I need not worry about?
