Just wondering if many of you have tried Desktop or non computer based PVRs? We don't have anything like TIVO in Atlantic Canada...so functionality is pretty much limited to traditional Vcr type menu systems where you tell the machine what time to start recording, what channel and when to stop.....that is what I LOVE about GBPVR....you highlight the show you want and boom its done. However......it seems to be a fair amount of work to get the show to DVD so it can watched on your friends big screen tv?
Any suggestions for a newbie.......I want to get the most enjoyment possible out of GBPVR.
Just wondering how many of you GBPVR users are watching programs right on your computer screen? Or are you piping the picture and sound out to your entertainment system?
I assume most have their Computer based PVR integrated into their entertainment system? If so, how does it look ( are your wives giving you grief over all the wires and another computer in the livingroom?) and can you use your desktop for anything else while it is playing or recording?
Hi all. I am having some problems getting the ATI Remote Wonder Plus buttons that came with my ATI Wonder Elite to function properly. I've tried some of the things posted on this site with some success, but I cannot get all the critical buttons such as volume to work right. Would someone be so kind to post the profile file they use? Even if you use HIP or some other 3rd party downloadable program, I'll take it. I'm getting kind of frustrated with this thing. It doesn't matter if some things don't match up for my system. I will edit the things that aren't right. Thank you very much.
Something happened when I was trying to schedule a season recording of a show. I inadvertently set it to record the season - all episodes instead of season - daily timeslot. It hung for the longest time after I hit OK. Afterwards, I couldn't make the change or delete the reoccuring recording through gbpvr, even after a reboot. So, I went into the database using sqlitespy and deleted all the shows from the recording_schedule table that matched by filename. I then went in and deleted the matching recording_group entries (there were 4!) under reoccuring_extras. All appears ok now in gbpvr. Would there be anything else in the db that I would need to cleanup?
I live in Muskegon, MI. Comcast recently changed their channel lineup. Zap2It still has the old channel lineup. I've removed & readded through their website and it's still the old information.
Does anyone know how long it generally takes Zap2It to deal with something like this and is there anything that I need to do - aside from wait?
Thanks for a great program. I am using gbpvr and its fine for what I need. I do have a couple of questions tho:
1. I can't make GBPVR skip or fast forward music with mce remote. Skip doesn't seem to work in either Play All or when playing m3u playlists. Remote is fine and keys work otherwise - e.g. fast forward works fine for videos.
2. I couldn't figure out how to disable visualizations. I want to do this for two reasons: a) produce less heat and noise - fans go slower without visualizations b) conserve CPU for other stuff running on the box
3. pls playlists (e.g. for shoutcast radio) don't seem to work. I love somafm stations but can't listen to them with gbpvr (somafm.com).
