I've just recently found I can capture HD video from my cablebox via firewire. The software creates a .ts file which, because I have the NVidia Decoders installed I believe, I can play it. There are of course some caviats.

I can play the video in WMP in either Overlay or VMR (High Quality) mode. When I attempt to play the video in Overlay mode in GBPVR, I get a black screen and no sound. When I playback in any VMR mode, I get video but no sound.

In VMR mode GBPVR creates what appears to be an appropriate graph. I can open last_graph.grf in graphedt and both sound and video play fine. Doesn't it seem like if the graph was good it'd play the same in gbpvr?

Here's what appears in my log:

Is there an easy way to jump 12 or 24 hours in the EPG w/in gbpvr? seems like u can only go 30 minutes or a show at a time w/ the left/right arrows.

I can't seem to get the plugin "Photos" to work.
I get the message "Error: Could not load type 'GbpvrUiElement.Filelist' from assembly 'GbpvrUiElement, Version=0.5.2533.28042, Culture=neutral,PublicToken-null'."

This is what I did:
1.GBPVRUIElementsLibary.zip unzipped to C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr
2.CommonGBPVRUtilities_EasyInstall.zip unzipped to ,,
3.PhotosPlugin.zip unzipped to ,,
4.Configuration: added a directory

What am I doing wrong?

You can download the new v0.99.5 release from http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR09905.msi

You can ask questions about the new release in this thread, but dont post problem reports here - post them in the support forum. Any problem reports in this thread will be deleted.

As with all releases, if you're upgrading then I'd recommend backing up config.xml and gbpvr.db3 file in case there are any problems during the upgrade procedure.

If you're running a client/server setup, then you'll need to upgrade both the client and the server, or you'll encounter problems.

I'd also recommend switching back to the default blue skin until its confirmed that your

Not a lot of visible changes, but definitely a lot of improvements. Changes include:

Quote:
2006-12-22 v0.99.5
- Improvements to scheduling logic for multi-tuner setups
- Improved aspect ratio control with Overlay renderer
- Added support for MultiDec plugins. If enabled in config app, then it'll load MultiDec plugins from MDPlugins directory.
- Improvements to the start up time for timeshift mode, and the time to change channels. (PC improvements, not relevent to MVP) To take full advantage of this, you'll probably want to set you 'LiveTV Pre-play delay' to '0'.
- Added support for Vista, though I'd recommend doing a clean install if you decide to upgrade a machine to vista that was previous running an earlier version of windows with GB-PVR.
- Logs have now moved to a specific 'logs' directory (as part of the steps required for Vista compatibility)
- Added ability to delete directories from the Video Library
- Fixed a bug that could occur with badly behaved BDA devices that continue send a small amount of data from frequencies they were previously tuned to (for example, Compro devices).
- Fixed a couple of bugs with the DVB EPG (now supports PSI pointer_field used in some countries to squeeze more data in)
- Fixed a bug with ATSC QAM scanning
- Improvements to H.264 support (BBC HDTV trial etc). You'll need to have an H.264 decoder installed. For playback of recordings, you'll also need HDTV Pump installed: http://dvbportal.dyn1.de/download.php?fi...-1.0.7.zip
- Fixed a minor bug in the Recordings screen with blue skin.
- Fixed a bug that could result in a database lock error while watching a video, and strange behaviour that follows.
- Added a 'TS Mux' option to the BDA Multiplexer list, which might be useful for ATSC users that have mux problems. For playback of recordings, you'll also need HDTV Pump installed: http://dvbportal.dyn1.de/download.php?fi...-1.0.7.zip
- Minor skin change to the Recording screen to show the title/subtitle for each item rather than just the title.
- Fixed a bug with the skin fallback mechanism
- Added a very basic YouTube plugin. To ensure compatibility with the MVP, it downloads the entire video before it starts playback (sorry, you'll need to be patient). If its popular then there will be enhancements in coming releases (otherwise I might drop it, not sure yet).
- Fixed a bug where the splash screen and screen saver settings were swapped when they were loaded by the config app.
- Fixed a bug that would cause it to continue to render the menus in the background even though video was fullscreen.
- Fixed a timeshift problem when using DVR-MS mux option.
- Now possible to configure which transcoder executable is used for on the fly MVP transcodes.
- Added support for MP3 tags back into the Music Library. Exact format can be tweaked using the <MusicLibraryMP3TagFormat> setting config.xml
- Now remembers the DVD playback positions and prompts to resume subsequent playback. Convenient if you dont want to watch those FBI warnings each time...
- Fixed a bug with automatic file conversion that would cause a database lock error with SQLite database.
- Improvements to DVB Subtitles
- Fixed a bug that would cause the reported duration of a recording to keep getting longer when watching from a client PC.
- Fixed a bug that would cause the Hauppauge PVR USB2 to not show up when detecting devices installed in the machine.
- Now possible to update end time or post padding on recordings that have already started.
- Added some minor performance enhancements for zap2it epg
- Fixed a bug that would cause the Windows Media Player to pause instead of stopping in some circumstances.
- Added some code to make sure the machine wouldnt auto hibernate/standby while listing to music.
- Added ability to press record key on listing in search screen to do a quick record, rather than pressing enter to bring up full recording screen.
- Comskip support for EDL files, which will be useful for playback of ATSC recordings where frame rate has changed during the recording, or when the frame rate cant be deteremined.
- ...and several other small things I forget.

I don't normally use my MVP/GBPVR to watch Live TV. The channel change delay is an issue, so I've never actually tried using the MVP/GBPVR record Live TV function either but...

Last night I was channel surfing watching my TV using it's tuner and saw a program I wanted to record, so I do a quick switch to viewing Live TV with the MVP/GBPVR, then go to that channel and hit the record button on my remote then select record and off GBPVR goes recording the program as instructed.

Today when I went to watch the recording, I found it didn't show up in the Recordings directory of MVP/GBPVR even though the file was there in my GBPVR server Recordings directory.

Since the file was saved in the recordings directory path, why wouldn't it have shown up as a recording within 'MVP/GBPVR Recordings'?

Note, I was able to watch the recording via the MVP after I'd physically gone to my GBPVR PC server and moved the mpg file of the program to a standard GBPVR listed directory.

Why didn't this Live TV recording show up just like a standard scheduled recording does? Also, it didn't have comskip run on it. Why?

Hi All

I see on forum there are a guy are using the Pinnacle PCTV 110i Capture Card with GBPVR.

This is true?

I have this capture card and i want to use GBPVR.

I see there are a INI file to edit, and i've do it! I can now scan for channels on the "Tunning Assistant"

Now, i want to configure. When i click on Config Icon (Start menu group of GBPVR) nothing seems happen.

When i click on GBPVR icon (main app, i guess) a message informs to install the latest .NET Framework (2.0)

Well...

If i get the .NET 2.0 the config will run?

This is my question cuz the file to download is 22MB and i don't want to waste my time on Internet (i have a dialup connection)

I will can use my card with GBPVR anyway?

PS.:

You are expert users of PVR, so see these:

http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us...?mode=show

This is the specification of PCTV 110i from Pinnacle website.

http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Pinnacle-PCTV-110i

This is other specification from dealtime... It says "Hardware encoder and decoder MPEG2"

Is there a way to adjust the brightness for this card?

Thanks.

I was lucky enough to find a PS3 last Friday while Xmas shopping. I finally tried the EWA over the PS3 and was a little disapointed. I was expecting to be able to at least download episodes to the harddrive and watch them, but the PS3 asks me to insert media, it's as if it's trying to save to a memory card rather the the HDD. I could not find any setting for the save location, I was just woondering if anyone else has any experience with the EWA on the PS3 browser.

I deleted a batch of recordings from the hard disk in Windows explorer, but they are still in the data base. Is there any danger in just deleting them from the data base with access.

My problem is that I think I have too many of the same series (28 of them) The latest ones are actually recorded, but are marked in gbpvr as failed, even though they are actually there on the hard disk, and log says they completed normally. I am assuming that this is some sort of database limit

I setup the Medium quality resolution for my m150 to 352x480 but the actual recording came out at 720x480.

It doesn't seem that this card accepted the instruction to record at 352x480? Or, is it not capable of 352x480?

BTW, I tried the same thing with my PVR-150 and it worked fine (i.e. output was at 352x480).

I also noticed that the audio of the m150 is at 384 kbit/s when 224 was specified in Medium. And, again, no problem with the PVR-150 (output is 224).

It is making me wonder if the quality settings are recognized by the m150 card at all.

Thanks.
