Just upgraded to new version great job sub!!!! After messing with the new version for the better part of a day i decided to try the new sqlite database change utility.
However now my guide takes forever to load at startup (around 2 minutes) i was wondering if sub might have a patch for this or know of a fix. If you have no fix sub could you tell me how to downgrade back to access
I don't know enough about how capture cards interface with the OS. Would this be supported natively by GB-PVR or would it require something to be written into the app?
I am very thankful to Sub for his hard work and time he's put into GB-PVR. This post isn't about asking him to do more, but wondering if what has already been done would support this new device.
I have a version H3 MVP running 98.8 and when I navigate to my video library I see the fake .dvd file but playing it causes the MVP to go to a black screen and hang. MP3s play fine (although the MVP is a lot slower to respond once one is playing).
Are there any additional codecs or software I need to install? I have the cyberlink DVD player on my computer and the VOBs play fine on that as well as on my X-box running XBMC.
My host PC is a dual Athlon XP 2100 with 1gb ram. Is that adequate for use as an MVP server?
My network is 10/100 hardwired to the MVP. I do have 2 switches in between the host and the MVP but a laptop connected to the same port seems to function fine (quick internet webpage loading, file transfer, etc). Is there something I should use to measure throughput or tweaks that should be made to the host machine?
Any help would be hugely appreciated. This software would be exactly what I've been searching for if I can get it to work. The only reasonable priced alternative is a XBMC X-Box and I'd rather have the thin client MVP since it's located in a bedroom.
All you skin specialist, I might have a question that is obvious to many but I still am confused....
I thought that Advisor skin was developed to set some kind of skinning standard, but when the community skin came I realized that this skin is setting another standard. What is the end objective with these 2 ways to do skins? Are you competing or is it a matter of taste? Or is there a relation between the 2 that I dont see.
I guess that was more than one question but the confusion on my side is still there.
Anyone to clarify? MixMan, Olddog, Fatman_do, McBainUK???
I've setup my PC to hibernater after 15mins. I set 4 shows to record last night, only the the first 3 were recorded I had a look at the logs and found these errors (I don't know what they mean) I'm using the BlueMCE2 skin.

OK - finally got round to installing new version - been busy with work - whenever I end up with free time the pc's recording or the Mrs is playing back!
Installed on the PVR machine without a hitch (so far) - I've recorded to channels at once, my wife is watching an older recording as we speak and all the normal stuff looks perfect!
I'm playing with the Client option on my office pc and the problem I have is that with the Intervideo Codec I get the first frame of video frozen - audio carries on and I can only quit by hitting the X at the top of the window or hitting ALT-F4 - ESC won't backout to the menu and pause etc don't respond either. I'm guessing the gbpvr.exe-native.log would be the one to look at: Can anyone spot whats missing here?
It looks like it might be using Mainconcept rather than Intervideo?
If I select Mainconcept as the playback I just get audio with a black screen, pause etc respond well here.
Recordings play fine in Media Player so the codec's are there.
Saw this and thought i'd suggest a possible workaround.
Quote:Incompatibility with IE7 Beta3
Just a warning for those thinking about installing the newly release IE7 Beta3. It seems this breaks a few things in GB-PVR. Specifically, it sound like the IE7 is changing the permissions of the local system account such that it no longer has the permissions to start processes.
This will mean several things started by the recording service will not work in GB-PVR with IE7 Beta3 installed. Things that come to mind include:
- Comskip
- MVP Server
- UpdateEPG.bat
- ParallelProcessing.bat
- PostProcessing.bat
- Conversion processing
...and probably some other stuff I cant remember at the moment
Google turned up a couple of other apps having the same problem with IE7 Beta3, so my advice for now is not to install it on a machine with GB-PVR.
Isn't this just a case of changing the user that the RecordingService uses?
I am trying to figure out how to control gbpvr via the web
I have never done anything like this before
i saw in the config screen that there was a spot
for name and password
and a port call 7467
I am assuming that this port will have to be opened in the firewall
once that is done how do you get to / log on to gbpvr
do you use a web browser or something directed at you IP
any help will be greatly apperciated
(or terms to search)
(when searching i mainly found posted related to enhanced web admin )
I had a look at the logs and found these errors (I don't know what they mean) I'm using the BlueMCE2 skin.
