I just reformatted and reinstalled xp. After doing so I reinstalled ac3 filter, avi codec pack, and a bunch of other things in attempt to get GBPVR to play my files back to me, but it won't is all I get is a black screen. My media plays fine in WinDVD, Zoomplayer, VLC, WMP, etc... I set all the video options to default does anyone know what is going on here or what I could have screwed up? Thanks for any help.
I was watching an AVI file the other days that is 2hours long. However, I had to break up the viewing into several chunks - turning the MVP off between. As a result, each time I wanted to go back to it I has to set it playing again, pause it and then skip to the bit where I left off.
This got me thinking....
Could we have an option in the config to save the transcoded 'buffer' file into the same dir as the avi and rename it as appropriate (and maybe a secondary option to delete the avi) ? Next time, the watcher can pick the mpg file to watch instead.
Now, i did a search on this first, and did find others with the same problem, i tryed their solutions, but alas they did not work, and none of their situation where like mine, so i decided that making a new theard for it would be best. Basicly, whats happening is that when i try and press the "watch live tv" button it goes to the "entering time shit mode, please wait screen" and sits there for a while. I get audio after a little bit, but it stays stuck on that screen until finnaly it shows an error message that says "error cannot play back file". Now, it can still record shows just fine, it cannot watch them though, and if i go to "recorder test" in the gbpvr folder and test it out, it i can watch tv from there just fine. I am not running a client nor a server, this is on a one machine deal. When i try and play it from the test it gives me the error message logs found below. I am running a Wintv 401 (which used to be known as wintv GO radio edition) with the software encoderm a 2.1 ghz celron proccessor, onboard video card, and 512 ram. thanks for the help.
I have a questions for all those that own a Hauppauge 150pvr. Is the record quality supposed to be inferior to the live feed. The colors are somewhat off, sound isnt as good, and its not as sharp. Does anyone have any suggestions for capture settings, also mpeg2 decoders? Any help would be apprecaited.
In case my hardware setup is needed i have a Nvidia 7600GT video card(DVI connection to monitor), 3 gig processor, 1 gig ram, 160gig (mostly empty), Windows XP and the hauppauge 150pvr. The 150 is connected directly to the cable.( there is no actaul boxset). I also dont use a television to view the live tv or the records i use my monitor. (will eventually move recordings to dvds.)

I've been using GBPVR for a few weeks now, and have just bought a second DVB-T (Hauppauge nova-t) card.
Are there any guides for everything I need to configure ?
Is it ok to use a normal aerial Y splitter for freeview (uk) signals ?
Since installing .98.8, gbpvr.exe will occasionally peg the CPU while doing nothing. I'll notice that the menu is a little sluggish and then when I try to watch Live TV or a recording it's a slideshow. I have to exit GBPVR and restart the recording service to fix it (btw, the recording service shows little to no cpu usage). This happens about every two - three days.
GBPVR is failing to record also, probably a result of the issue above. Quite a few times since I upgraded, it hasn't started recording till after i restart the recording service. It's becoming common practice to race over to the PVR five minutes after a show is supposed to be recording to make sure it actually is.
I'm not using any additional plugins or features, a pretty basic install other than my skin.
