"the added or subtracted value results in an un-representable DateTime. Parameter name:value"
Just started getting this error message when trying to hibernate or restart from the shutdown plugin. Also it's a permenant error i.e. restarting either the PC or GBPVR won't get rid of it . Nothing coming up on the forum search, only google telling me that it's a .net error, possibly also involving SQL (which I've recently updated to)

I'm pretty green with setting up a HTPC, but I just wanted to share some of my dealings with standby mode.

The problem: The computer would only enter S1 standby mode, leaving all fans going. The computer could not be awakened from standby without plugging in a keyboard and pressing a key.

The hardware: ASUS P4C800E-dlx, ATI 9800, ATI TV Wonder Elite + Remote Wonder+

In order to get the computer to enter S3 standby, I had to go into the options of the BIOS and change the Suspend Mode option from Auto to S3 Only. This indeed caused the computer to enter deep sleep mode, but now I could not wake the machine at all!

Enter +5VSB jumpers-- After fighting this thing for several hours, I found mention of jumpers on the motherboard that change the way power is delivered to the PS/2 ports in deep sleep (S3) mode. Normally, power is only delivered under S1 sleep. In order to allow peripherals to wake the machine, they must have power. After finding this jumper on the motherboard, I could finally wake the machine using the keyboard! But... still problems... normally I do not have a keyboard attached to the system. It sucks having to plug in a keyboard just to wake the machine, not to mention the fact that it is in a different room than the TV! Why can't I use the power button on the remote to wake up?

Well, I found out you can by hacking the registry!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\usb
"USBBIOSx"=DWORD:00000000

But, this didn't work! NO! Guess what... more +5VSB jumpers... this time for the USB ports. Finally, after setting the jumper and hacking the registry, the power button wakes the machine. Hurray!

Don't get too excited though, becuase I am now having serious problems... After waking, the WLAN was dead, and the system complained of power surges on the USB hub, failed storage volumes, and disabled the card reader.

I was able to fix the WLAN problem by opening up the device manager, finding my wireless card, clicking the advanced tab, and setting the Power Saving Mode to CAV (constantly awake).

I still had the serious problems with the USB power, and web searches turned up nothing of the problem. On a guess, I read through the manual of my motherboard and guess what... even more +5VSB jumpers. Instead of having one jumper for all ports like the PS/2 jumper, each USB port has it's own jumper! Four different jumpers on the motherboard to allow power to all the USB ports during S3 standby. What a joke. Why the hell aren't these set this way by default?!!?

FINALLY, after hours of dickin around with this thing, standby is finally working, and working pretty damn well.

I still having annoyances... Like after resuming from standby I am presented with a window that says "Are you sure you want to close the foreground window?" (ATI remote software, I guess). And why can't I put the computer into standby using the power button on the remote?

What a mess.

hi,
I have configured the GBPVR client to work...
However when I watch a recording the picture and audio stutters...
Also most of the files recorded on the GBPVR Server have lines through them and are very bad quality..

Anybody got any ideas?

Since I installed the latest release of GBPVR I noticed that my MVP is running sluggish. I press a button on the remote and it takes a couple of seconds before it moves to the next. I have also noticed that if I stop a program it takes for ever for the blank screen to go away and the options screen to return. When I get to the end of the progam. It was never this slow before.

Any ideas?

First off, I'm new here, so hi

Anyway, I have a Starchoice Satellite box, and the IR blaster doesn't work with it. I've come to the conclusion that the LED in the IR blaster needs to be changed to another LED, since it looks like a plain red LED and not an IR LED. I came across a thread here from a year or more ago that described this process, but what I don't know is where to get the LED from. Can I just go get any IR LED from Radio Shack, or does it need to come from a Starchoice remote?

I'm sure this has been answered, but i've looked for the better part of half an hour and can't find it. Any help is greatly apreciated

Thanks

Not a big deal, just a little bug when browsing for videos and music. A folder that has a ".." is unbrowsable. It always takes you to the parent directory as if it's the one and only ".." that is supposed to take you to the parent directory. For instance, I have a folder named [Hot Dog... The Movie - 1984]. I can not browse to it because it has a ".." in it.

I've check the wiki, and searched the forums a bit, and can't seem to find the answer to this..

I'de like to put images for all the movies/shows I have in my video library plug in. I figured out that a .jpg with the same file name as the video/directory will show the image in the plugin, but it's a small horizontal format image(not good for dvd covers and such). Also in the "icon" view it's showing 4x3 which would make browsing by images not very useful anyway. So my questions are as follows:

First, is there a way to make it use a dvd/vertical shaped image and display the full image.

Second, is there a way to set the number of icons in the icon view(smaller number to show larger images)

Third, for shows where I have a season in a single directory, can I have them each use the same image file, or better yet, have icon view for the first browsing level(differect show directories) but then have the show directories set to list view rather than icon view.

Thanks.

Just did a fresh install of Windows XP. GBPVR had been working fine before install (although I hadn't upgraded to latest version). Now I'm having issues with Recordings just not starting. I think I've narrowed it down to the fact that for some reason the Recording Service is "stopped". I'm not sure what is causing this. In the GBPVRRecordingService.exe text file in my gbpvr directory I found this at the bottom of the file (see below). Any ideas?

Hi All,
I saw a review of the new wireless MVP today. The reviewer was comparing it to the D-Link MediaLounge DSM-520 which supports resolutions up to 1080i. After reading the review, I read the review of D-Link's product. The funny thing was that it supports 1080i but can only display 720 X 480. This got me thinking... If I added a ATSC tuner to my GBPVR system, I can record the 720 X 480 resolution. Does anyone know the maximum resolution the MVP can display? In all the research I've done, I can't seem to find MVP specs for max resolution/bit rate. I also was looking for a spec rating for s-video. Can 720P come out of a s-video cable? Thanks

I've just installed GBPVR on my Windows XP computer - works beautifully, except that I'm unable to schedule recordings or change settings in Config from non-admin XP accounts. Does anyone know of a workaround?

When trying to schedule recordings, at first everything looks okay but when I check the Pending list, the program I was trying to schedule just isn't there. For Config, I can open the Config program but when I click Ok I get a permissions-related error.

I did find this thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=11143 and tried the suggestion to right-click on c:\program files\devens > Properties, but I don't see a Security tab (different XP version, maybe?), and none of the other options seem relevant.

This isn't a huge deal, since I can watch recordings from non-admin accounts with no problem, but it would be cool to be able to schedule them too.
