Not sure if it's more of a bug or a wish, but when you're removing channels from the "Edit Recording Source" screen, can you have the table hold it's bookmark after a delete? It's a pain when you've got loads of channels you don't subscribe to added by the EPG having to delete one, scroll down, delete, scroll down etc...
I'm getting ready to buy a 42" flat screen LCD HDTV and could use some advice (preferably from someone who has one).
Most of what I watch is not yet available in HDTV format in Montreal. I have heard that SDTV signals look worse on an HDTV set than on an SDTV set. True?
I do not like the "zoom" or "stretch" modes use to make SDTV fit widescreens. I will probably watch SDTV signals in native mode with black bars on the sides. Is this harmful to the set longterm?
I have no plans to use over the air HDTV signals. Do I really need an HDTV tuner built in?
Anyone had a good experience with a certain brand/model?
I'm preferential to Toshiba and Sony (even though Sony is evil and I should be boycotting them).
I know there are plenty of websites specializing in flatscreens / hdtv but I prefer the advice I get from the big brains here at GBPVR. - Thanks
The Video and Music Libraries can't be accessed if you previously used them with a path which no longer exists (eg. a mapped network drive that is no longer on the LAN, or a removable drive that was disconnected). As GB tries to reenter the last used path, it then gives an error that it's no longer valid (paraphrasing) and always kicks you back to the menu. Only fix is an app restart.
I was trying to download the sports scores source from the wiki, but the download just brings me to a page full of junk characters. The download for the plugin works.
This happens in both IE and firefox
I am looking to use Media MVP to view audio/Video files from my PC across the LAN to my tv fairly straight forward it seems. What I also want to do is watch real time web tv (running on my PC) on my tv across the LAN is that possible with GB-PVR and Media MVP. I know I can do it if I connect my PC directly to the TV by S-video and audio cables can I do it across the network.
Guys-- First off nice job. I just upgrade last night to new GBPVR w/ build 48 of the EWA. You have done a great job of adding feature, and making it very user friendly.
I am having a slight issue with it. It appears to only function intermittantly. Futhermore, I can not login from the internet (I have opened up the port 7647-8) only when the autologin only is resticted to the local area network. If I enable the autologin for the entire internet, it works from outside. It appears that others have had this issue in the 150 page thread located elsewhere, and managed to get it fixed w/o a clear answer when.
I would really like it to be password protected.
I have port forwarded correctly, and I am able to get to that PC from the web w/ VNC, and foldershare w/o issue.
The intermittant nature of the EWA also occurs when attempting to access the site from the LAN.
I've been having some on going issues with GBPVR working properly and i've googled and searched these boards for answers. My ongoing problem is that I dont get a "live tv" image. I've reinstalled XP twice and GBPVR twice (no extra plugins) and Ive tried different codecs. It seems that when i do get "live TV" to work, it stops working (no live TV) after it records a show or two.
Now what i'm thinking is that, and yes, this might be a lame question, but I know if i have the correct drivers installed and would like someone to verify that I'm downloading the right drivers on the Happauge site.
To me, the site isn't too clear on which drivers is needed for my card (PVR 500 FM radio). I am NOT using the Media Center, just GBPVR.
I'm 98% certain that I do have the correct drivers, especially know that there arn't any conflicts with my card in hardware devices.
------------------------------
here what the driver page says:
* Download two files to your computer:
WinTV-PVR-150 base driver: pvr150_500_2043_24103.exe
WinTV-PVR-150 driver update and middleware: pvr150_22_23257.exe
* Run the pvr150_500_2043_24103.exe file, which will install the base driver
* At the completion of the driver install, you should see a message which says Drivers have been updated sucessfully..
* After Windows has loaded the base driver, run the PVR150_22_23257.exe driver updater.
This will complete the driver installation for the WinTV-PVR-150.
------------------------------------------
This is what i find confusing.
Do i install the (A) pvr150_500_2043_24103.exe
and the
(B)WinTV-PVR-150 driver update and middleware: pvr150_22_23257.exe ?
This shows that, (B) is for the PVR 150 and not 500.
Can someone point out the drivers that are needed plz?
Also is the WINTV2000 required for GBPVR? Im assuming that it is not because GBPVR does what WINTV2000 does.
I like to record a lot of movies for later viewing and because of this my recordings screen soon gets full of a lot of stuff that i'm not going to watch straight away. The list becomes very long and cumbersome to navigate and it's using up valuable disk space to boot.
What I would really like is a way to physically move a recording from my main recording drive (D: ) to the video library folder which I have on a different drive (E: ). I would also like it to remove the entry in my recordings list so the file only appears in my videos (or wherever). I'm not even too concerned about keeping the details - I would just like the file on a different drive with the entry removed from the recordings screen.
I know the video archiver plugin can do this sort of thing but I seem to remember that still leaves the entry in the recordings screen. This is understandable but it's entirely all this clutter that I want to remove.
I can currently achieve this by doing a cut/paste within windows but i'd love an in-built solution. The Xplorer plugin kind of works for this but it's quite akward to use.
Many apologies if there's an easy answer to this, it's been something that's been bugging me for several months - A simple 'Move to video library' option in the recording screen would be perfect
Anyway, it's no biggy - just one of those things that niggles away at you lol
Using 98.13 with the MCE 2a remote (no color buttons) and now skip doesn't work. The FF/REW buttons work for going back and forth 10 seconds, but the Skip to go forward 1 minute doesn't work anymore. Anything change in this area? I did a quick look at the log files (REALLY quick considering it was at 2am) and I noticed some messages about saying mapping not found for MEDIANEXTTRACK, but nothing that stood out saying hey heres the error.
Also, since the skip didn't work, we used the FF button to try to go to the end of the video file (talk about a long process at 10 seconds each press), and found if you press too quickly or hold it down, GBPVR locks up solid, I had to end task in task manager.
