Ok, so I am new to this. So I expect to get some newbie treatment...and I did search for info, but I think its what I do not know that I do not know that is impairing me. I have a TUL Theater Pro 550 PVR card, and a bunch of cyberlink "free" s/w. I finally took all of that off the system. I installed GBPVR and found I did not have an encoder to view video. My question relates to encoders. Does one have to always purchase an encoder? If so, what is the best encoder for this board? I downloaded one from nVidia (free trial) but it does not work well. I do not mind paying for one, but I just want the best one for this card. BTW, why does a card not come with the s/w encoder?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hi,

I love the new PC Client option, but it appears to be using around 12Mbps on my wifi connection this seems excessive. I am wondering if the amount of bandwidth is related to the capture quality that I am set to, as I was using live TV viewing while GBPVR was part the way through recording, i.e., I got the do you want to cancel the recording or watch the recording message come up after selecting Live TV.

I seem to recall (from aging memory) that sky NZ only tranmit at a rate of 3Mbps per channel if thats correct then perhaps I should be changing the quality I record at, which is currently set to the "live tv" setting thats shipped with GBPVR

Any advice welcome.

Thanks

Hi

I installed GBPVR and setup XMLTV and all went very smoothly. Then I realised I hadnt setup the correct timezone in XP, so I correctly set it to GMT. The XML file generated from Radio Times in the UK appears correct with all the correct program times.
When I load GBPVR the program guide show the correct current time, but all programs are out by several hours even though they are listed correctly in the XML?

Any help would be greatly appreciated:confused:

This is amazing - yesterday 4 new channels appeared in the TV guide all by themselves. Topup Anytime 1 to 3 and TOPUPTV PROMO.
My machine is left running 24/7 but is fairly stable, so I haven't even opened the config program let alone changes any settings. I thought this had happened once of twice before, but figured there was no way channels could add themselves, and it must have been something I did. But this time there is no way I had any interaction with the machine to cause these channels to appear - what's going on????

Jeff, it seems the current version of Video Archive is hard coded with calls to an older version of SQLite? ArchiverUtility no longer works, and in the log there is an error saying that "System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.27.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139" or one of its dependencies could not be accessed. I believe the latest GBPVR is supplying a newer version of SQLite - could that be the error?

I have 1 PVR-150 MCE card and by enabling live preview and using the deinterlacing options I was able to get video games playable. I set the composite as a second source and I was wondering with my current setup if I would be able to record tv through the tuner while playing a game on the composite channel.

I used the theatre plugin and I've wiped everything out and reinstalled a few different times and I'm not getting consistency. There is a theatre that's very close to my house and sometimes it shows up and sometimes it doesn't. Right now I can't seem to get that theatre to show up. I only use one zip code and it's the only zip code I can think of, but sometimes it shows up and sometimes it doesn't. It seems that when it shows up it has a lot more theatres in my area, but when I'm having a problem seems less theatres show up.

Isn't the data pulled from fandango? When I go to fandango.com and enter in the only zip code I've been using it's the number one theatre in the spot. To be honest I think there's only one theathre that's truley in my zip code.

Is there a way to uninstall this plugin also? Seems some plugins leave an uninstaller at least in the short-cuts and when I run the installer, it seems it's use NSIS with skip if file already exists.

... and loving it!

I put off upgrading for the last couple of releases as I finally got my wife hooked on the PVR and she'd probably kill me if I make it "not work". There were a couple of changes that were made that she'll love when she sees it in the morning:

- Having the title of shows along with the name of the shows in the Recordings screen. That rocks!
- The client support. She's been bugging me to be able to watch her recorded shows more easily from her "craft room" where she has her computer. I just tested it out and it works fine, once the buffers get loaded up over my wireless network.

Thanks sub!

Turn on a BBC documentary, set the Sleep Timer to, say, 1 hour, and relax asured that if you should accidentally doze off for the night, the TV will shut itself down quietly. This way you won't be rudely awakened at 4am by that screeching limey selling miracle wax.

I'm not sure what the protocol is for posting plugins here (just found this nifty GB-PVR a couple days ago), but if this Sleep Timer gets a little vetting and seems to work OK, y'all can stick it up wherever you want.

Let me know if you have any issues. This is my first GB-PVR plugin. I basically ripped it from the GbpvrUiElementsExample source. Anyway, here's the readme from the archive:

==================
=== SLEEPTIMER ===
==================

-> 9-13-06 [That's 13-9-06 to you furriners]
-> This is the first release. No version number.

WHAT IS IT?
----------------------------------------
Fall asleep to the drone of Nick-at-Night, secure in the knowledge that your telly will quiety turn itself off in a few hours; after you've drifted off to dreams of Lucy in the early episodes....

MANUAL INSTALLATION
----------------------------------------
Not necessary if you're running the installer. But here's the poor man's deployment, for posterity's sake. SleepTimer is comprised of only two files. Just unzip them into your GB-PVR install directory. SleepTimer.dll goes in the Plugins folder; skin.xml goes in skin\Blue\SleepTimer.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
----------------------------------------
Google the phrase "sleep timer" or something. It's pretty straightforward.

KNOWN ISSUES
----------------------------------------
The visible countdown doesn't automatically refresh if live TV is playing in the background. This appears to be caused by a bug in GB-PVR. If you move the remote or an arrow key or something, it'll update the visible countdown. NOTE: This is strictly a minor UI problem; it does not effect the actual countdown. The system will still shut down on time.

DISCLAIMER
----------
Global Thermonuclear War is a distinct possibility. And I'm not entirely sober at the moment.
