I've upgraded to a new PC and am having probs getting GBPVR up and running again.

System is a clean install of WinXP pro, updated and patched. Nero 7 Ultra (mpeg codec), Latest GBPVR. (PVR-150 card)

I'm getting an error in the event log of a conflict between gbpvrrecordingservice.exe and .NET with the net result that I get audio but no video.

If I select Live TV then the screen is black, if I go from the TV Guide, then I have the TV Guide screen with audio.

I've tried all 4 of the playback options Overlay/VMR7/VMR9?VMR9 custom.

A recording looks fine in Win media player.


Anyone have any ideas on what I could try?

Thanks,

Zen.

Today when I went to start GBPVR I started getting .NET errors that have never occured before. I reinstalled both .NET 2.0 and GBPVR 0.98. I still am getting the errors...

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Sub, Meant to point this out a week or so ago.

About a week ago, I was perusing config.xml and I noticed the following section and entries,

<!-- zoom control -->
<HorizontalZoom>1.05</HorizontalZoom>
<HorizontalOffset>0</HorizontalOffset>
<VerticalZoom>1.03</VerticalZoom>
<VerticalOffset>0</VerticalOffset>

It dawned on me a day or two later that when viewing recorded video on my MVP since upgrading to 98.8b that the picture visually seemed a bit wide... even to the point of cropping things along the left/right screen margins.

I remembered seeing the horizontal and vertical zoom settings I saw in config.xml and thought aha... I wonder if that's why things are a bit wide now?

I proceeded to change both horz & vert to 1.00 and viola' my screen is now good again.

I've not changed these zoom settings (that I'm aware of?) and in fact they are set that way in config-master.dont-edit-me.xml file as well, so I know I didn't change them.

Anyhow, if other folks are having troubles with streched/distorted video, they may want to look in that section of config.xml and set them both back to 1.00. As always before making any changes to config.xml, make a backup of it to return to in case it gets messed up.

Version: 0.98.8b
Plugins: none

When I try to view any video from my video library I get an error message that says "Error: Failure playing back file." It doesn't seem to matter which file. I've tried many different files. The files play fine in media player, winamp and VLC so I suspect the problem is specific to my installation or settings. I have attached the log files for your attention.

Thank you,
Joel.

Hey everybody. Just got me-self an Internet camera - DCS-2120 - wondering if anyone knows how i can get RTSP support within GBPVR.

I think VLC can do it, it's just how would I set that up to work with GBPVR.

Hi sub!

I experienced sometimes an error while and/or after watching 1 or more DVDs within GB-PVR.

The following situation:
I have planned via TV-Guide 2 recordings. The first 05:00pm-05:30pm and the second from 05:30pm-06:00pm.

I can do nearly all with GB-PVR and the recordings will be done fine. Watch LiveTV, watch Movies from Harddisk (DivX/XviD, MPEG-2, MPEG-1) without any problems. But: If i watch one "real" DVD, or more, then the recordings will fail. Not only that, if i try after this to watch LiveTV, then i get an error Message like "Connection not possible" (i hope i remember the message right).

For now i have no LOG's saved, but have an entry from the Management Console Eventviewer:

I could read, that the GB-PVR App hang sometimes up. And with watching DVDs i had a few more problems: Some DVDs couldn't even played with GB-PVR (WMP did without any problems), they stopped in the intro (DVDs are of course all in perfect condition).

Do you have any idea? I'll try to capture next time all the logfiles from GB-PVR.

I have always upgraded each new version of GBPVR ontop of the old directory.. always backing up config.xml and the recordings database. However looking at config.xml I think I need a new version of it too, as this has a lot of entries for pluigins and scripts I no longer use. How do I get a clean version of config.xml without losing all my tv channel setup data?

Hello,
I'm new in the world of gbpvr and my english is not very good :confused: . I search for a HTPC-software, where i can easy build plugins. So i came to gbpvr. I'm going to start a new LCD-Plugin-Project. The Plugin schoud be able to show all information i need to use gbpvr without a Monitor or a TV.

It should can show:
1. the selectet button's Name.
2.and the most the other function from the existing LCD-plugins (no problem).

My question:
How can i get the button's name from existing plugins and the main screen?

I have a machine in streaming client/server mode on a wireless network, which is the problem. I can mostly stream Live tv, but i get stuttering on in progress recordings and sometimes live TV.

Can I configure a local tuner on the client machine so I can mititgate the Live TV? I would like faster channel changes, etc.

I know a wired connection would be better but I can't run ethernet to this spot, looking at powerline networking but that's a ways off for me.

TIA
mark.

Is it possible to play music/video files from a networked drive? I tried adding a shortcut to the drive but in gbpvr it shows up but nothing is located inside the folder.
