Hi,
The Product looks grea, but I can't even get it going. I get the "GB-PVR has encountered a problem and needs to close" message a few seconds after I start it.
I am using:
- Windows XP SP2
- with .NET framework v2
- Twinhan Vision Plus DVB-T with BDA drivers.
- GB-PVR v0.98.8b
I can get through the config process and tune all of the channels ok. I have disabled everything on the menu/plugins except Live TV and Exit and still get the same.

I have attached a zip file with the log files and the config.xml file.

I have tried doing a repair on the install, but still get the same result.

I am at a bit of a loss. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
GJC

windows is so nice... "what? it's broke? just reboot, and it'll fix."

Is there any way to stop widescreen DIVX files being stretched to fill up the TV screen? I am using MVP H3 and the only things I can find by searching are trans2mvp.bat and xprocess. I believe that trans2mvp got caught up in zproccess and zprocess will not work for me.

Anything else I can do?

Hello,

This is my first post but I've been using this software for almost a year. Very neat software and very configurable. Very nice work Sub.

I just did the upgrade and I noticed that my skin that I had developed doesn't look the same.

On the TV Guide page, the colors are not blending right in the boxes surrounding the program names. About 75% of the box is green and the rest is black with no blending of the colors. Before the colors were nicely blended. I finally narrowed it down to using the rounded corners option. This makes the corners of the boxes slightly rounded instead of square. I notice when I set this back to false then the colors are blended right. Did something change on this version with the way the colors are blended? I haven't upgraded in awhile so it could have been a couple versions back that it was working.

Can anyone else reproduce this problem? :confused:

Every night at 9pm, when my listings update(I'm assuming) I get a dos window popup running priorityrecording.exe, and then a fatal exception error caused by priorityrecording.exe pops up over that. I just close the error and everything continues to work just fine. It's been doing it for awhile, and I had hoped this most recent update would have fixed whatever the issue was, but it's still doing it.

Any ideas on an easy way to fix the error? I would just do a clean install of gbpvr, but the first time I set up, I had to custom tune a bunch of channels that weren't recording sound, and I also didn't want to lose stuff that's in the recordings database.

Gbpvr gurus,

I have a very elementary question about tuning multiple video inputs to my PC:

I have a WinTV 150 card and I am currently tuning in my cable TV to my PC using the coaxial input on the WinTV card. This setup works fine and I am able to view and record live TV through GBPVR.

I would now also like to tune in my VCR using this card so that I can watch whatever is playing on the VCR through my computer. The idea is to use the computer as a hub for all AV devices and have only one video output going from the PC to the TV. Another benefit would be that I would be able to convert and backup my analog content from VCR tapes to digital content on the PC.

Since the WinTV card has one coax input and one composite AV input, I would like to have both of these as permanent connections to my PC.

Now my question is, would I be able to watch content from both VCR and cable on my PC through the same card, or would I need another card? The WinTV 150 card that I am using is a single tuner card (but it has 2 seperate forms of AV inputs).

If this is possible, would I be able to use gbpvr to watch from both of these sources and how could I select between the two sources?

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have video files from GB-PVR on three separate drives. When I use the VA "Show Free Space" option, the first screen ("Recordings Drive") works fine, but the other screens (one for each drive) all say "Error" next to Total Space, Free Space, and Pending. This used to work, but stopped somewhat recently -- a version or two back; sorry, I don't remember which!

Attached is a screen capture, showing the error. Any ideas?

I delete both from the destination folder in Windows explorer and from the GBPVR application itslef on occasion. I have noticed that when I delete from the folder and then delete again from the recycle bin, it frees up disk space. However, when I delete from the application, I never get the disk space back. Does anyone know where the backups are stored so that I can delete them and free up my hard drive?

Thanks!

has anyone tried this??
does it work??
does xrecord need to be on the client, or on both??

I have a PC collecting dust, and want to set it up as a GBPVR server, and my current machine to be client.

here is the process I plan to do--
find a few hour time span with no recordings.
shut down PCs
swap tuner cards & recordings drives
power back up
load drivers and GBPVR 97.7 on server
copy gbpvr.db3 and config.xml from current machine
upgrade server to 98.8
upgrade current to 98.8 and set as client

does this seem correct??
am I missing a step??
did I add an unnecessary step??

I plan to run CAT-5 cable to the client, as it is currently wireless.

I also need to figure out remote.
my current remote plugs into the tuner card, which will be in the other room.
my friend has an extra USB infrared sensor I can "borrow" from him.
would I use UIRT for that??
I would want to map it to the hauppauge remote I am already used to.
