How do the config.xml (and other settings) interplay between those on the server and the PC Client? For instance, I want to disable the starting of the recording service when leaving config on the PC Client. Also, I don't want the gbpvr tray app to start. Does anyone know what I need to put into the config.xml to do this? Provided there is something that can do this, will I be able to disable it on the PC Client without affecting the start of the service on the server?

If I install a plugin on the server, does it also have to be installed on the client? Will the plugins automatically inherit the configurations on the client that are set on the server?

I am confused about the interaction.

Hey sub,

How can I get GB-PVR to auto convert previous recordings? It seems to only convert new ones.

Something I noticed the other night while looking through the TV guide while playing a video on the mvp.

Every second or so (it actually seemed less frequent that that, maybe every 2 seconds) the portion of the screen showing the OSD would flick back to the main menu and update the nextRecording panel.

Not sure how better to explain it. I'm on 98.13 - maybe a video would be better??

I am having a problem when viewing recorded programs. For some reason the overlay will work fine for a little while but once I skip a couple of commercials, it will stay on the screen and not function any more. Then after a little while I get an error about the database being locked. I have attached the logs.

Thanks

Hey there, I need some help figuring out how I've managed to cause this :o

Using the Advisor skin I get a giant red "X" across the top and bottom of some of the screens. The main menu is fine, but as the screenshots show going into the guide, system settings, etc. you get the weird X problem.

Can anyone tell me what's causing this and how I might fix it? I really like this skin, but won't use it if I can't fix rid myself of that "X"

Version: GB-PVR v0.98.8b
Skin: BaseSkin 2.8
various plugins - have tried with no plugins installed with no change

Thanks for any help you can offer!

p.s. - I'm brand new around here and this is my first GBPVR build So far I love what I see and if I can just iron out a few more kinks I think I'll have myself a very usable PVR for the first time.

Just installed GB-PVR. Tried recording a movie, and now I can't delete it :mad: says it's access denied, can't delete it!!! Even tried in safe mode, nada. Also, can't watch live TV, says there's an error accessing memory, but my memory tests are coming back clean. Thoughts...???? :eek:

Good evening all,
Something weird is happening on my machine, and I don't know where to start.
To summarise, my epg file (xml) contains the next 14 days of tv program (downloaded from xlmtvgui, and verified that there is indeed 14 days by editing the file), but GBPVR shows me only the TV guide for the next 2 days, after it is empty.
My setup has been working for more than a year, so I am a bit wondering why gbpvr just stopped updating the epg.
I then went to the Config to manually update the epg, and I got an error (screenshot attached).
I took the opportunity to install the latest release v0.98.13b, but I have still the same problem.
I have also attached my log file.
Any advice on how to solve this problem? It looks like GBPVR is not able to read my xml file, but I haven't touched anything in the last 2 months and it was working fine before.

Thanks in advance,
Yann

Hello all,

Would you mind to help me setup TVListings? Please. :confused:

I use Zap2It for getting TV Guide - I'm in USA, so I selected zap2it plugin.
Then I installed TV Listings.
In TV Listings view I don't see / have any icons / picturies

So, I installed XmltvIcons.zip.
However, I don't have any xmltv.xml files, as I don't use xmltv for TV Guide.
As result XmltvIcons doesn't work for me.

Then I copied sqlite.exe in to gbpvr folder just in case.

Can TV Listings work with Zap2It tv guide?

Thanks.

Reading one of the earlier forums I decided to download XMLTV GUI to get the UK TV listings. When I use this with GB-PVR, while BBC and other channels appear to have programs, none of the SKY channels have any info. Also If I try to read the raw XML file with Microsoft's latest XML Notepad, it falls over part way through. I've tried re-loading new XML info using XMLTV GUI and I simply can't get a complete working set.

Am I doing this all wrong? Where should I be going for comprehensive UK information?

Am I expecting too much or is it uncharacteristic for the menu navigation to be dog slow via MVP?
It takes at least a second (maybe closer to two or three) between pressing a button on the remote and actually seing the result.
also, live playback is extremely stuttery and filled with artifacts. Recording and recorded playback is fine.
For testing I am using a PIII 800mhz machine with onboard video and 512MB Ram as the GBPVR server.
Using the default Dongle.... I am actually unable to find anywhere to download other dongles to test with.
Capture card is a Hauppauge PVR150 and I am using composite inputs from a dish STB.
