Hi I have installed the GBPVR09813.msi and after that I Copy the Advisor 2.8 packaged in the "skin" Folder und run the InstallSkin.bat.
But after that the GUI of GB-PVR donest apears.
In the splash screen "Loading plugins" apreas and then nothing more.
What do I wrong?

My config: P4, 1.5 MHz, 640 MB RAM, WinTV-PVR-350 with MediaMVP-Box.

Has anyone figured out a way to control both tuners? One is IR which any IR Blaster handles nicely. The second tuner is controlled via UHF-Pro which I currently lack a PC interface too.

Anyone already crack this?

First of all, thank you for a marvellous program.

I've spent many hours in the last few days trying to install and configure
it for my new Freecom DVB-T USB stick, and I can finally say that I have
most of the stuff working...it looks amazing now, I installed some very nice
plugins too...great job guys.
I have one silly question. When I move my mouse in the screen, the
"mini guide" thing comes up, with the +,- and exit. However, since the
info is usually longer than that area can hold, it stops mid-sentence. Is
there any way of scrolling down to read the rest?
Or if not, is there a way of disabling the mini guide? The F1 guide is enough
for me, even the same thing happens when I click on a long description,
I can move between the buttons, but not scroll down. What am I missing?

And a final question, do you know if the Freecom USB remote control is
compatible? The zoom button works at least, so it responds to that.

Thanks in advance!

A long time ago, one of my first tries in all this was to use a NVIDIA Personal Cinema GFX 5200. I've given up on it ever working again in anything new, but I'd like to use the remote it came with. It looks much like this one, and it's detected as an X10 remote... anyone gotten these to work?

It isn't EXACTLY like this, but it's the same remote:

Hi, newbie here.. go easy

I'm having some particularly weird problems getting any channels tuned in on my AverMedia USB2 DVB-T box (A800). When I attempt to scan channels, one of two things happens, either:

a) No channels will be found at all, on any frequency.

or

b) Each and every frequency scanned claims to be broadcasting the same (valid) set of channels, so I end up with loads of copies of the same channels (and every other multiplex is missing).

When b) happens, those channels it does find tune in fine and are watchable in Live TV. However attempting to download EPG information always fails.

I've applied all the patches from the "98.13 survival guide" thread, but nothing seems to help. NB: these problems only seem to affect GB-PVR - the bundled software and DVBViewer seem to work fine, so a lack of signal isn't the issue. I have previously had other BDA-friendly software working fine too.

I've attached some logs in the hope they may be of some use...

Edit: I've just noticed the following pattern is repeatable:

1) Unplug and then re-connect USB DVB-T device (detunes it)

2) Scan channels in GBPVR. Case A) above will happen and no channels are found.

3) Tune any channel using the AverTV or DVBViewer software

4) Scan channels in GBPVR - case b) happens, and the previously tuned multiplex is 'found' on every frequency!

5) The channels on this multiplex are viewable in Live TV.

So.. it seems GB-PVR isn't sending the tuning requests properly (or they are being rejected)?

Is the PCTV HD Pro Stick supported? I do not see it listed on supported capture cards list, but since it is part of the PCTV group, and this is supported, would the card be supported?

I am already using GB-PVR with my haupauge but I am about to get, by a quirk of fate an ATI All-in-Wonder 2006 edition and was wondering if anyone knew if GB-PVR works with it. I was thinking of adding it to the PC I am currently using to give me a second tuner and give me an even better video output.

The last couple of days I've noticed two oddities involving duplicate recordings or multiple timeslot recordings showing up unexpectedly. I don't know if it has anything to do with my recent 98.08b->98.13b upgrade but I've never seen it before.

1. Duplicate Recordings

I have a "Record Season (all episodes on this channel)" scheduled for a 15 minute program which is typically played twice over a single night.

To mitigate stuff like this, I have enabled the "Don't record duplicates (zap2it)" flag in the configuration app.

For some reason, last night I ended up recording both copies of a particular episode (Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Dumber Dolls at 11/16 12am and 3:30am). I checked the SQLite database and verified that both of these episodes have identical EP# IDs. Seems that the avoid duplicates flag was ignored.

I do not see this problem repeated on subsequent days but I'll keep an eye on it.

2. Multiple Timeslot Recordings

I have a "Record Season (all in weekly timeslot, this channel)" recording set for 8pm on Sundays (FOX _The Simpsons_).

FOX likes to sandwich premier episodes along with one or two older episodes. The default AllowableTimeslowVariance value of 90 minutes ended up with my recording all 3 episodes. This is undesirable since the provider likes to shift their schedule a few minutes here and there, resulting in partial episode cutoffs.

To mitigate this problem, I set AllowableTimeslotVariance to 25 minutes. This worked well until this week, when I saw that both

Simpsons "The Italian Bob" 11/19 7:30p-8:00p [old episode] and
Simpsons "Moe'N'A Lisa" 11/19 8:00p-8:30p

were in my Pending list. The 25 minute variance value seems to be ignored.

I've attached all logs as well as my config.xml in hopes someone can shed light on the problems.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I'm receiving an MCE remote 2005 (version 2) in the mail tonight. After searching various threads and the wiki, I'd like to confirm my understanding of the setup to use it with XP Home and GBPVR v0.98.13 (natively, without HIP, at least initially), since I don't seem to have been able to find the information all in one place. I don't need to use the IR Blasters.

As I understand it, first I need to get the drivers from XP Pro SP1 or SP2 (or XP MCE, probably?), per the following which I found linked to in the GBPVR forum, and which is at http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36993, to quote:



"1. Obtain a copy of the irbus.sys, irbus.inf, and irbus.pnf files from a Windows XP Pro SP1/SP2 install.

2. Copy irbus.sys to c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers and c:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386

3. Copy irbus.inf and irbus.pnf to c:\WINDOWS\inf

4. Reboot

5. Plug in your remote IR receiver sensor (do not plug it in before this)."



Then I'm assuming new hardware would be found, the drivers would install and thus my MCE receiver would be recognized by Windows and ready to provide information to GBPVR.

Then I can simply enable the MCE remote in GBPVR Configuration under the DVD tab and the remote should work.

But if I want to use more keys and/or get the remote to control my TV volume with the IR Blasters then I would need to install HIP per the HIP guide in the wiki (including using alternate drivers), or some other similar software.

If someone could confirm that this seems to be correct or incorrect, I would appreciate it. Then when I get it working I'll post the results, and hopefully it will serve to help others who search the forum trying to figure out how to do the same thing.

Thanks,

-Rod

So I was looking around for a new case for my weenie PIII machine and came across this monster.

I think I need to have this. If only for the challenge of getting my girlfriend to accept a mini-fridge size computer in the living room.

Tiger has them fo $285.00 (Steel) and $317.00 (Aluminum).
