Does anybody have experience of using one of these cases with GB-PVR?
The case has a built in receiver and also comes with an MCE remote.
I suppose its really meant to be used with MCE but I really do like the idea of having a built in receiver iof it can do everything I need.
Ive already read here that the MCE remote can work with GB-PVR but I have also read about needing a channel changer.
I am planning to put two PVR-150's or one PVR-500 in the Zalmans and if I can buy the TV cards without all the bits (because I have them inside the Zalmans case) I can justify spending what seems like alot of money on this great looking case.
Also can I get the VFD screen in this case working with GB-PVR to display track information and what not?
Sorry if this is a really silly question but I cant seem to find a definate answer browsing the web.
I am reasonably sure that the MCE remote will work with the built in receiver with GB-PVR but what I am confused about is channel changing and I need to know if this will be possible without any more hardware.

Very happy GBPVR user here, with 2 MVPs. Rarely encountered bugs, but this one is persistent: if I'm using one of the MVPs to watch live TV, when GBPVR switches to recording mode (with or without a channel change), the MVP crashes (still/corrupted frozen picture and unresponsive). I thought it might go back to the main menu, or give a notification. But generally, the box then needs to be restarted. This only happens when watching live TV before a recording, not if it's on the main or a sub menu. Anyone else experiencing the same..??
The mpeg files created with the above utility (packaged with videoarchive) play fine via windows media player but when played through the MVP are clipped on the sides. My television allows be to play with aspect ratios but does not fix this problem. It appears that something that MVP is doing with the files is causing them to be played clipped.
I was running version 9709 until earlier this evening. I thought I'd upgrade to the latest version 9713 to take advantage of the database switchover.
After installing I tried to run config.exe and it wouldn't run. Checked the event log for details on the Crash and got the following error.
.NET Runtime 2.0 Error:
Faulting application config.exe, version 1.0.2379.26394, stamp 00000019, faulting module mscorwks.dll, version 2.0.50727.42, stamp 4333e7ec, debug? 0, fault address 0x00011b34.
I figured no big deal, I'll uninstall and install the old version then post here for an answer.
Heres whee the troubles began.
Uninstalled OK. Made a backup of my erroring GBPVR under the name BADDEVNZ.
Rebooted and tried installing the 9709. Same .NET error. Reinstalled .NET 2.0 Framework, and rebooted. Same error. Tried completely deleting all DEVNZ folders from computer after running an uninstall. This includes the BADDEVNZ. (I moved that to an external drive and disconnected it so I'd at least have a copy of my GBPVR.MDB to restore.)
Tried reinstalling again. This is a completely fresh and new install. No other GBPVR related materials are on my system. I installed 9713, got the .NET error. Uninstalled, rebooted, deleted DEVNZ. Tried reinstalling 9709, got the same .NET error.
HELP!!!!
My GBPVR WAS running without any problems for a couple weeks, and running with no major issues for the past couple months. I've posted minor issues here but never had a problem getting config.exe to run form a clean install.
I've run a hard drive and RAM diagnostic and both these are healthy. All Windows updates are done. My AV is E-Trust AV (Removed NOD32 when that became a known problem), and it's up to date.
Windows Firewall is disabled.
I'm out of any ideas. I need the big guns to come up with a plan. Sub any ideas?
I need help on the following problem! I installed the latest version of gbpvr, and when I'm now watching TV, and I want to zapp to an other channel, then the live-tv stream stops or is hanging, and my mediamvp is rebooting.thanks in advance!
ok so i think i figured out why only one works when both are in the computer.
in device manager the ati theater pro is device 0 and the sapphire is device 2. i don't know what happened to one, bt only the sapphire works when they are both in. if i pull the sapphire out, the ati tv wonder elite will work
is there a way to set it to capture device 0 in config settings, i only saw 1-9
thanks
It basically takes the good aspects of a Wiki (a non-linear information archive that can be quickly edited and items can be easily interconnected/searched) and a blog (a sequential journal) and combines them. There are all kinds of plugins that add functionality.
What really makes this cool is all this "software" functionality is contained in a single HTML file.
That's it.
No program to install on your computer, nothing needed beyond a browser to make it work. All the functionality is provided through embedded javascript, CSS, etc. in the HTML file. All you need is that single file which contains both the information you add to it and all the features of the "software". You can put that single HTML file on a USB drive, in your webspace, email it to yourself, etc.
Open source, browser based, highly customizable, strong development community, etc. means it is very web 2.0 but I think it represents a fascinating shift in the way a problem can be solved through software.
An "information archive" is something I've sought and used for as long as I can remember but with each type of solution I've used over the years there was something left to desire. This so far is blowing everything else out of the water (and I've tried a lot of different things). I've spent most of today consolidating my stuff from a variety of sources and I'm pretty impressed so far despite only having scratched the surface of its capabilities.
When I have a recordings set, the Post Processing.bat kicks off after the recording as expected - but it only ever seems to run the first line, then exits.
I had comskip set to go after recordings, but it wasnt happening. When I took the three commands I had on seperate lines, and put them together using a pipe character, then Comskip ran without a problem.
moving Comskip to the top of the commands also produced the desired result, but the other commands were not done.
Has anyone else had this issue before? It's stopping me from using Eriks Post-processing file to customise Comskip for different channels.
I disabled the startup option for the GBPVR tray icon as a test and rebooted the PC. I did not like the configuration, and not wanting to have to restart the GBPVR tray icon every time I rebooted, I entered msconfig again to enable it. For the first time in four years since I have begun playing with msconfig, IT WAS NOT THERE! There is no option to enable the tray icon.
So, as another test, I let the showtime for one of my reoccuring shows begin, then entered the GBPVR folder and manually started the tray icon. It began recording AT THAT POINT. In other words, if the tray icon is not present, the recorder will not work.
I desperately need to figure out how to get the tray icon back into the startup menu on msconfig. If anyone can help, please do!
I ran the installer and it didn't give any errors, but I don't even have this listed as a Plugin in Config. What's the deal? Which log should I look at?
