It would be great in Video Library if you were able to delete entire folders as well as just files.

Often I'll have video files inside a folder. I delete them after I watch them. Once I've deleted all the files in that folder I want to get rid of the folder, but I can't find any way to delete it inside GBPVR.

It would be great if there was a way to do this without having to exit GBPVR and doing it with Windows.

Sub,

Please see the attached log files.

I think I already know the answer to this () - but is there anyway to have both IR receivers working in a two tuner system???

For anyone facing the same challenge I just had - I just got a new NTL cable TV STB here in the UK - it is a shiny silver Samsung SMT-2110C box

My Hauppauge PVR150 didn't initially work with its IR blaster until I uploaded the more recent 2005 IR blaster software from the hauppauge webset for PVR 150 and 500 models

I eventually found the right codeset using the IRBlasterCfg.exe program. Settings North America, Cable Box, Samsung - codeset 384

Hope of use to anyone else who has the same prob

Cheers

Hi folks,

Short summary of post: If anyone's got a working set up with a Pace Telewest set top box controlled via a Red Rat, please can they tell me how they've done it !!!

Long explanation follows below:

I've got GBPVR set up on a dedicated PC with a Hauppauge PVR150 and in an effort to avoid insanity, I'm attempting to get it set up in stages.

Initially, with GBPVR using an analogue signal and just picking up BBC1/2 ITV & C4 (no channel 5 around here) everything worked fine - I've had the Guide working and updating, changing channel, making recordings, etc.

However, I then got more ambitious:

I've got Telewest cable with a Pace set top box and have invested in a Red Rat 3 to allow me to control the box from GBPVR.

If I use the configuration file from the Red Rat web site, I can use the Red Rat virtual remote control software to control the set top box, so I know the Red Rat and the box are compatible.

Oddly, if I record the signals from the remote control using the Red Rat software, the recordings won't control the set-top box, but as the pre-configured ones work OK, I don't know how much of a problem this is.

However, if I reconfigure GBPVR to take the input signal from the composite input on the PVR150 and use the Red Rat for channel changing, it doesn't work.

When I go to Live TV on the menu I get a picture from the set top box, but GBPVR doesn't tell the box to change channel - it doesn't seem to be sending any channel change instructions to the box at all (the LED on the front of the set-top box doesn't flash).

I've tried using the RR CLI command line utility to send the keypresses and this works for single key presses, but it is so slooooowwwww that the set top box times out between key presses if I invoke it multiple times to send the 3 digits and 'OK' that are required to make the box change channels.

Has anyone got a solution that works please?

My goal is to improve my TV picture quality when playing back my recorded shows. My budget for improving this is under $300.00.

Currently I use a 50 ft. S-Video cable from my computer video card to my Samsung HDTV. The picture quality is a bit washed out and I know can be better. My video card is a Radeon 9800SE with DVI output, VGA output, and s-video output.

My limitation is that I can't decrease the 50 foot distance from computer to TV. Although 50' dvi cables and 50' vga cables can be purchased, I've read that these really don't work well at all.

The recordings are excellent as I can play them on the computer monitor or burn them to DVD's to play on my TV and they look great, so I'm assuming my loss of quality comes from the 50 ft. s-video cable. I also have a MVP and those recordings look great on my upstairs TV.

I'm starting to record high definition using my Dvico HDTV fusion5 lite card. This can record in .tp format or mpg format. Using GB-PVR I can record in dvr-ms files or others. I'm not sure what is the best format for recording or if converting should be done to another format.

I wouldn't mind just buying a device like a mvp that can play high def recordings, (dvr-ms, tp, etc.). I see some products out there called network high definition media players but most don't list that they play dvr-ms or .tp.

D-link DSM-510 (says it can play dvr-ms)
D-link DSM-520
Buffalo linktheater PC-P3LWG/DVD
Gateway ADC-320
Galaxy metal gear 3500 IPTV DMG - Digital Media Gateway
AVeL LinkPlayer2
NeoDigits HELIOS X3000/5000 HD Network Media Player
Netgear EVA700 Digital Entertainer
Roku Labs HD1000 High Definition Digital Media Player
Zensonic Z500 networked digital media player
Ziova CS510 High Definition Network Media Player


I'm not concerned with wireless options but prefer to just run cables and not worry about wireless loss of signals.

Also, I can do my recordings/scheduling from my computer and don't need to use GB-PVR from the TV.


Which direction do I go?
- Buy a network high definition media player?
- Buy different cables, dvi, vga,?
- Buy another computer to put at the TV? ($300 budget)
- Buy a better video card?


Thanks,
GaretMax

Since updating to the new version from 97.x - loving the new features and the better stability over wireless with the MPV! - I only seem to be getting the guide for BBC1 and a couple of others. Before some channels would be missing but I aint gettin no sauce these days at all :-(

Is there something I need to check in the options - I don't do a full update every time just changes. I recreated the recording sauce and uploaded all channels again for HVR-900 but still no guide!

Any help much appreciated, thanks.

I get the error:
Error: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.

All was running reasonably well until I upgraded to 0.98.13b. The error happens when I try to watch a currently recording show. A clue: this error does not occur until I move the mouse. BTW I'm running without any skins.

The CANCEL button in the recording sub menu actually deletes events which is a NO NO in Windows convention. Cancel should be harmless. The button should be renamed to DELETE or RESOLVE conflict. I've accidentally deleted files and recording events too many times now.

I have to be so careful trying to navigate the recordings menu
A - because there is no indication of which sub menu you are in
B - deletes do not go to the recycle bin it deletes files and events DEAD
C - normal right button context menus are not used

Speaking for those of us who do not use the mediamvp, using the right mouse button to back out of a menu is really awkward and counter-intuitive.
There must be hundreds of us who simply watch our shows on the computer monitor.

Hi. Just wanted to offer my time to help test this under vista x86. Just email me or whatever if I can help out.
