Thought I'd best move this into it's own thread. Got this error, see screenshot for details. Set Video and Audio decoder to intervideo as suggested, tried VMR9, VMR Custom, and Overlay Manager, all to no avail. Have also attached pic of config screen. I'm confused!
:confused:

I recently purchased the Hauppage PVR-950 USB Tuner stick and have realized it's not really for me. I had installed the WinTV Software that came with it along with GB-PVR. I have since uninstalled both utilites using "Add/Remove Programs" in Windows XP Second Edition and removed the PVR-950 USB item in Device Manager before I unplugged it. Yet I still have this very annoying "BDA TV Monitor" that still loads in my system tray. I have tried several methods to find where it is loading and remove it, but have had zero success. It is not in start/programs/startup and it is no where to be found when I run msconfig.

Does anyone know how I can turn it off permanently? I have searched with both Google and Yahoo and "BDA TV Monitor" does not exist. I also searched these forums for it and could not find any mention of it either. The icon itself has one option when you right-click it -- "Exit." No settings, preferences, "about," or anything.

It's driving me crazy. Please help.

Thanks in advance!

Sky+ has recently been advertising scheduling it's recordings via mobile. "Ah ha!" I told my friends, I can do this already with GBPVR - I confidently flipped out my phone, logged on to the EWA... and found that it could do with a few enhancements for mobiles

1) Automaic login via MAC address, rather than just IP range - usernames and passwords are just plain fiddly on a mobile.

2) Mobile friendly page size (physically/screen layout and kB - needs to load in a reasonable time over GPRS) - maybe it could automatically recognise a phone/PDA (as Google does) or there could be a parallel server on another port.

I have a problem that seems to have started with 0.98.13 - when exiting live tv back to the TV guide (using the back button) the MVP loses its connection and restarts. This doesn't happen all the time, but several times in an evening.

I am using the dongle.bin that came with gbpvr but it also does it with 24023b. I use the Community skin but have also tried standard Blue.

One thing is that the transition from live tv back to the tv guide is "messy" ie. press back, the program description will display momentarily, then the tv guide will display, then refresh itself. Don't know if this is related to the above MVP restart.

Logs are attached - thanks in advance for any help with this one.

Am having a problem with my recorded videos the OSD shows a different time to the recorded movies. If i record a 2 or 3 hours time movie it only shows a 30 min OSD time. is there a setting to this because i havent had this problem before until the upgrade to 98.13 i believe. Thanks for any assistance.

Hi all,
I am in the market for a new video card and am wondering what would be best for a dual monitor setup where my first is a 20" lcd running off of the dvi and the secondary monitor is a 50 Plasma display using VGA (I run GBPVR on the plasma as a secondary monitor).

Let me start by saying that I have used nvidia cards in the past with mixed results. I would like to (if possible) find a card that has on board acceleration for mpeg/h.264 but will sacrifice that for overall performance.

Any suggestions?

I'm wondering what the exact string needs to be added to config.xml to expose the DVICO DxVA decoder.

I added:
Zulu DxVA Video Decoder(BDA)
to the <SupportedDecoders> list in config.xml.

However, this choice still does not show up as a choice in the Config utility.

This is with 98.08.

If you have successfully selected a DVICO Zulu DxVA or VMR decoder, I'm interested in the exact change you made, or you can attach your config.xml.

The string I used is the same one that shows up in the GraphEdit filters list.

The other funny thing I noticed is that there is more than one "Zulu HDTV Video Decoder(BDA)" listed in GraphEdit with different DLLs and they all have the same merit. How is one chosen vs. another? Can tweaking the merit force a choice?

Is there a way to schedule FM recordings within GBPVR? I am not always near a radio when some specials come on during the day, and I would love to record them.

Hello All,

I have BT DiNovo MediaPad.
How I can use it to control / navigate GB-PVR?

Play/Stop/FF/RR don't work at all in GB-PVR.
Any one uses this MediaPad for GB-PVR navigation?

tnx

Hi sub,

I was browsing through the config.xml file to change some encoding settings, and I saw some interesting entries. Particularly

<VMR9CustomUseFullscreenExclusive>false</VMR9CustomUseFullscreenExclusive>
<VMRPreferYUVMixing>false</VMRPreferYUVMixing>
<VMRYUVDynamicDecimateBy2>false</VMRYUVDynamicDecimateBy2>

Are these functional? Because a couple of these would be very useful to me and my underpowered machine...

EDIT: Speaking of that, changing the priorities of the client and service were also useful. I didn't realize how powerful the config file was!
