GB-PVR seems to keep doing this, I'm running Win XP P4 3.0 GHz 1GB RAM so my specs are up to scratch...

Freecom DVB-T USB, is my tuner.

It also seems to slow down other applications when open

Any Ideas?

Hi, my computer that has my tuner card has no internet access whatsoever, but I would really love to have the tv guide information available. I live in north america, so I use Zap2It, and there are many tools available for downloading their tv listings (here is just one: http://bb.labs.zap2it.com/viewtopic.php?t=17 ).

Is there a way I can download the tv listings from a computer with internet access and put it in a certain directory or name it a certain thing so gb-pvr can use it instead of trying to connect to zap2it itself?

Is this a uncommon feature or is it something I can do with other programs? I truly believe gbpvr is by far the best program for tv viewing on my computer, but in this particular case the ability to download tv listing data from elsewhere and import it is a make or break deal for me.

if you choose "watched" in the xrecord menu, you can see all the shows/episodes that it will not record again.

I would like to clean house in there.
there are several shows I no longer record, and figure I could get rid of the watched listings for them.

is there a way easier than choosing delete for each entry??

Since I'm stuck with getting 97.13 and there's been no replies to my support posting:
"No live TV with 97.13, DVICO 3.41" on 8/21.

I'm wondering if I can download the latest version of 96.xx to try, since I saw a note that 97.xx may not be as stable with ATSC.

Hi all,
On my old computer I could set “start on second monitor” and GBPVR would start on my tv (it was set as the second screen in windows). When I try to do the same thing on my new computer the GBPVR window will always open on my main screen and not on the tv.

The card is an nvidia 6600GT with the latest drivers installed.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

I've been using gbpvr smoothly since January then all of a sudden scheduled recordings will not record. Also, when i schedule a new recording, it shows up as pending recording. If i exit and restart gbpvr, the newly scheduled recording is no longer there.

I installed .net 2 and reinstalled the 97.13 version of gbpvr. Same problem.

Is this just absolutely bizarre or what?

Newbie forum poster.

I just upgraded to 97.13 after installing the .NET 2.0 Framework. The install seemed to go well, but now I can't record any new shows or watch live tv. I can watch the recordings made before the upgrade. When scheduling a recording, all appears to work, and I have a 0 byte file at the end of the show. Another point is that my Hauppauge 150 doesn't show up when I check the "only show devices detected in this machine" checkbox in the source configuration dialog box. The setup worked great with 94.13 and 96.12 (which is where I upgraded from). I can zip up all of the log files if it helps. I get a dialog with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and an ok button.

Below is the hopefully relavant portion of the gbpvr.exe.log file:

Play nicely

Hi,

I know this question has been asked in the past, however the last posts I found were in 2004 so thought I'd ask again in case the answer has changed in the meantime. Is there a way to increase the TV pause buffer size to beyond 1 hour? Currently if I pause time shifted live TV (i.e buffering to HDD) the OSD comes up showing a timeline that ends at 1 hour.

Thanks for any information

Cheers
Richard

I use Xrecord because (for me) it is nice and simple and almost feels like it is part of the base program. My system (PC, not my own ) can't take too many bells and whistles.

I use Xrecord's Archive utility a fair bit now and there's a couple of things I'd really like to see implemented on the Archiving front, if it is possible with not to much hassle?

1. Batch Archiving: i.e. Archives a batch of recordings, which Xrecord (already) recognizes as being from a single Group (by the count). Rather than choosing each one, and archiving separately and waiting for a while for each to finish, would it be possible to Batch Archive the lot at once?

2. Scheduled Archiving: I tried the OnArchive.bat batch file that was added many moons ago (added a call to comclean, so that the files were com-cleaned using the existing comskip files before archiving. However this invariably rebooted my MVP, when I use the MVP to issue an archive command. Probably not enough grunt in my PC. So it got me thinking about an Xrecord Archive option where you can choose to perform your (queued batch) archiving after you exit GBPVR or between a certain time period 1am to 4am e.g. or after it has been inactive for X hours?

3. Archiving Status: I am never sure (apart from my thrashing Hard Disk light, and of course when the recording disappears from the main menu) whether the file is actually archiving and how long it has left to go.

Cheers and thanks,

k.
