In case any Australian user's weren't aware........

We have an interesting little test case in Australia at the moment. One of the TV networks is suing the EPG (IceTV) provider for breach of copyright.

While I doubt this will have ramifications around the world it does have the possibility of ruining my day and PVR happiness should the network win.

I'll let you all know....


Some links if anyone is interested.

when using some skins there are two cross red lines on top and botton of the screen. any way to fix that?

Hi all

I've been browsing these forums for a while now and always been able to find the solutions to the issues I've had from time to time. But now I'm stumped so here's my first post to the forum, hope you can help. There’s quite a history here so please bear with me.

System: Athlon 64 3200, Win XP 32bit, nvidia GeForce FX 5500, PVR500 fed by digital cable STB. GBPVR 0.98.08, MVP

The problem I’m having now is the crashing of my pc whenever I view live TV or select a channel to play via TV Guide on the PC. Previously recorded shows play without problem.

The above has arisen since replacing my previous PVR 150 with the 500. Immediately after which I began receiving the “…target machine actively refused it” message. Having cured that I began receiving “could not find a configured device” and found that the crossbar filter was missing so I used HWClear and then installed the latest 500 drivers from the Hauppauge site. The logs seem to show that this problem is fixed.

At this point I performed a clean install of GBPVR (moving from 97.13b to 98.08 in the process) although my existing config settings survived.

I’ve attached the logs, screen dumps of the MS Online Crash reports and the event viewer application log.

In the application log it looks like there’s a .NET 2.0 problem (the latest one gives the following detail - EventType clr20r3, P1 priorityrecording.exe, P2 0.0.0.0, P3 44dd1f9b, P4 recordingutils, P5 1.0.2414.38274, P6 44dd39d5, P7 a8, P8 1, P9 system.io.fileloadexception, P10 NIL.)

I also noted the problem with nview_info which I’ve attempted to address by removing nview application and installing the 91.47 forceware card drivers from nvidia.

It is at this stage that my current problem begins – viewing Live TV causes the PC to freeze or restart or gives a blue screen of death (the last message included DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL).

I’ve also had a command window pop up 2 or 3 times, the contents of which can be seen in the attached recording.log.doc

As a side issue my MVP also appears to have been impacted as it won’t get past 2 blocks on it’s boot sequence.

Thanks in advance,

Kirk

I have automatic comskip turned on. When comskip marks the last part of the recording as being a comercial (say the last 5 minutes), then gbpvr acts funny.
First of all, it does not mark that part as being a commercial in the timeline (the other parts get marked ok).
Second, it skips the last part of the recording (which is ok behavior), but there is no way for me to watch that last part (except in another player ) If I try to skip into the commercial-marked part of the recording, gbpvr just kicks back to the menu.

No biggy, but got me baffled the first couple of times...

I have the AVC-3610 working with both tuners but is there a way to get GBPVR to support the FM on it?

i think this one dissapeared with the vbulliten upgrade: - is there any way to queue up tv programs from the epg so I get a reminder when a program is about to start, and a prompt asking me if I want to switch to it....?

Anyone familiar with this media player? geeks.com has a special on it for $50.
I realize that it won't integrate nicely with GBPVR like the MVP, but I does support MPEG-1/2/4, DivX and AVI. It also has a DVI output and it is significantly cheaper than a wireless MVP.

I discoverd an unwanted result of using built-in transcoding to reconvert a file.

This was the situation.

I started with "Move.avi" about 700mb. I had created a transcoding profile to create a AVI for my PocketPC @ 320x240.

I entered the Video Libary selected "movie.avi" went to transcoding, changed the profile to my PPC profile and pressed start. It transcoded for a few seconds and stopped. I didn't understand what the problem was, but when I checked the movie.avi it was no longer 700mb it was about 4mb. But checking the demsions I could see it was now 320x240.

Turns out the transcoder grabbed the file and started transcoding but it started saving the new file with the same file name. So it overwrote my existing file.

So, just a warning to others who try to use the the transcoding to create several different AVI's.

Anybody have any thoughts on how to avoid this? Besides transcoding outside of GBPVR?

Thanks

Hi Sub,

I am having the strangest problem! If I try to play a mkv file in the video library it will play fine but when I exit out (e.g. by pushing the back button on my mce remote) the screen goes (and stays) blank. The really weird thing is that if I push the remote's scroll buttons I can hear bleepbloop making sounds and once even have got it to perform actions (just with no picture at all). Any ideas?

I have attached the logs and am running the following config:
GBPVR .09.08.08
FDDSHOW codecs
standard blue skin

Thanks.

CT PVR has been about the only ad I see on the forum lately. I had to look at it. If it weren't for GBPVR I might be tempted.
