hmmm,i think there's a dialog or something missing even in blue skin, cuz when i try to record while watching livetv, dialog comes up and lets me select record till end of show, and if there's a conflict with an existing recording and i hit ok, it exits back to main menu with an error , and no recording is ever scheduled,no conflict dialog comes up...tried with couple skins and even blue but all same...

also, the problem i mentioned earlier about the 'reminders' showing over livetv, eg. the dialog whole menu screen as background, then flashing back to video, then flashing the dialog over main menu again,etc...
i'm using overlay if that's the reason..
have been waiting for that feature for long time and really hope to get it working better..
should it be in the list as a 'video plugin'?
i assumed it would be like the osd, popping up transparently over the video like a video plugin..
the logs illustrate the record from livetv with conflict problem...not sure the other problem would be visible in logs tho..
any settings that would affect the transparency of the dialog like that?

I installed the Advisor Skin package early today. Along with the Bullets skin.

Then, I just upgraded to 99.05 and the cpu useage of gbpvr.exe is about 80%. So I went back to the "Blue" skin, and now the CPU useage is ok.

Is there anything about Bullets that would cause this?

Hi,

I'm installing the 99.05 version on Windows Vista. This is my first attempt at getting GBPVR to work on Vista. I have a PVR 150 card. I can get it to work fine when I use "live tv" mode, but as soon as I use time delay or any kind of recording I get a Play back error. Please see logs (I think I sent the right ones).

Thanks for any help!

All,

I have one of these cards and was trying to set up the bda.ini file to use it. Unfortunately, I seem to not be able to do this as easily as I had hoped. Attached is my config.exe.log where it bombs out and graphedit's list of filters. I also have a DVICO Fusion 5 and I make the BDA.ini entries just like it, but no joy.

It seems like maybe the bda.ini doesn't like the apostrophe in the Vbox Cat's Eye title, but I couldn't say for sure.

Any ideas?

I add these lines (the Fusion 5 is just a copy of what is already there and working.)

[Fusion HDTV5 Lite]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=FusionHDTV, BDA Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[VBOX Cat's Eye 164E Tuner - 1]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=VBOX Cat's Eye 164E BDA ATSC Tuner 1
FILTER_CAPTURE=VBOX Cat's Eye 164E Digital Video Capture 1
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[VBOX Cat's Eye 164E Tuner - 2]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=VBOX Cat's Eye 164E BDA ATSC Tuner 2
FILTER_CAPTURE=VBOX Cat's Eye 164E Digital Video Capture 2
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

Is there any way, to queue a channel while in timeshift mode if you have dual tuners? I typically watch 2 shows and flip back and forth between the two with the last button. Would it be possible to queue another channel (possibly the last one) on the 2nd tuner, so that when you switch channels, it is almost seamless? I remember reading that the delay is more in the mux, than the tuner, so I don't know if this would work or be possible.

I own a Technisat Skystar 2 DVB-S card and am happy with it. Using it with the beautiful GBPVR front end would be a real joy but I really don't know where to start. I have a few questions.

What DVB-S hardware is recommended to get the most trouble free & staright forward GBPVR experience?

Are there any guides in setting up a DVB-S card in GBPVR and if so where are they?

GBPVR looks to be an amazing piece of software and getting it to work seamlessly with mine & others DVB-S hardware would be amazing!

When I run config.exe it works ok, but as soon as I close it, the "Information" box pops up and then config hangs. Any else see or have a solution for this?

I've got a Hauppauge PVR-500 dual tuner card and am having trouble recording two channels at once.

I can watch one channel while recording another, but have been unsuccesful in trying to record two channels (while not watching any).

Does GBPVR not allow this? If I added a third tuner (say, an ATI TV Wonder 550pro) could I then do it? I would think then I should be able to record THREE things at once...?

Also, what exactly is the "timeshifting" mode. Is it possible to use GBPVR like a TiVo and pause live tv while I use the bathroom and then resume play when I get back? Or what about to go back 30 seconds to view an instant replay in a sports broadcast?

Thanks for the help...

edit: im using the new 0.99.5 release if it matters... great program.

I upgraded to .99.5 with its' release without any problems. I also added a second tuner (before upgrading to .99.5). I'm using a PVR150 retail (1045) with a PVR150MCE (w/out FM). I have them setup as capture device 1 (retail) and capture device 2 (MCE).

If I have 1 recording in progress, I can view live TV on the other tuner. No problem. With both tuners recording, it tells me that no tuner is available and offers either as an option to watch. If I try to view either channel in progress, GBPVR.exe just locks up and it doesn't do a thing. I had to end-task it in the end.

Log files attached. The recording service doesn't really show anything other than when "the girl next door" started recording and later when I cancelled it after locking twice.
