It would be great to know whether "any" MVPs are streaming video from the computer, not just whether it is recording.
Scenario is when you need to reboot computer... Look at tray icon - its shows recording service sleeping so seems safe to reboot ... BUT users may be viewing recorded material. (I've kicked them off many times!)
Only way I know to find out, is to look at the task manager to see if "bytes read" is going up for and GBPVR.EXE tasks. It would be great to have this info on right-click, show status from the tray icon.
Is there any status interface for a gbpvr instance? I'd write the software I knew how to get the status...
I have just rebuilt my GB-PVR box from scratch after a motherboard failure (blown/leaked capacitors). Everything went flawlessly and I'm back up and running on a completely clean build using the SQL database option. In an oversite during setup, I had my system time set 12 hours off, so it was AM instead of PM. When I realized this, I shut down the interface and recording service and corrected the time, then started everything back up. It's now working fine again.
My problem is that I have a couple of recordings that are listed as failed, since I essentially skipped 12 hours of time. They show up on the recordings list in the client interface and in the web client, but I can't delete them in either place. I select "delete" but the entries are never actually removed, presumeably because there isn't an actual file to be deleted. What can I do to remove these entries from my list? I presume I'll need to open the database in an editing tool, but which tool is recommended and what should I look for to remove? Any help is appreciated.
Specifically, I can't seem to get AM to load. I'm greeted with an error message about something missing, but unfortunately due to the size of the font, the missing file is overlaid by the dialog's "OK" button...any ideas on how to proceed?
It would probably help me to know what AM needs to function; I know I have the latest version, it shows up on the menu and in the plugins list, so I know AM is installed properly.
It would seem to me the trouble is in either the theme or in BaseSkin/Advisor Skin itself - can anyone give me a listing of what files should be in the Appearance subdir? Other directories necessary for AM to function? I'd like to see how this fits in TransAM as I really like this skin....
Got GBPVR up and running and it is a lovely app. However, I'm having problems with watching Live TV. The picture often freezes on some channels (but the sound often continues) (this is UK Freeview - DVB-T - on a Happauge Nova T Stick USB thingy) and I get "No signal detected..." with Quality very low but Strength on full. Some channels don't even tune, whilst one or two are fine (for example, to assist with the attached ScanChannelsBDA log, at the minute More4 plays well, The Hits plays sometimes and freezes up sometimes - seemingly randomly? - and BBC One comes up with no quality and hardly any strength and won't tune in).
Of course, this sounds like a reception related thing, which wouldn't really surprise me as I'm using a crappy indoor aerial - but in the supplied WinTV2000 software, every channel tunes and plays absolutely fine - shame the software isn't too hot. Is there some difference between the way that WinTV tunes and the way GBPVR does? And if so, is there anything I can do about it?
Just FYI, other video plays fine in GBPVR, and I don't think my specs are a problem (Athlon 64 3000, 512MB, Geforce 6-something).
I attempted to record a TV programme today using an MSI MegaSky 580. However, when I attempt to play back the resulting dvr-ms file, it plays without sound, and at twice the usual playback speed. I've checked the MPEG2 codec, and it's not that. I've tried it on different media players on different PCs, and it's not that either. I've just spent the past two hours googling for any similar issues, but I can't find any.
I am using GBPVR 0.97.13. My system specs are as follows:
Athlon X2 4800+
2GB 400 MHZ DDR RAM
Abit AN8 SLI
Geforce 7800 GT SLI
2 x 250GB WD SATA HD's ATI Theater Pro 550
Windows XP PRo, SP2(all updates)
All drivers are updated to the highest versions on the manufacturers' respective websites.
The GBPVR config tool recognizes the ATI tuner and the settings are correct as far as I am aware. I have the TV schedule updated through Zap2it. When I go to watch live TV, I get a screen that looks like this:
GBPVR does not lock up. I can go back and listen to the radio and do anything. However, when I try to watch liveTV I get that screen showed in the link above. I havent found anyone else with this problem on the forum, unless I just didnt go back far enough. As far as I am aware, the card is compatible with GBPVR so I am not sure what else I can do. I've attached the logs in a zip file. Any help would be appreciated.
I have several recorded shows that didn't complete and are marked as "Failed" in the Recordings menu. Selecting "Delete" doesn't remove the entry, however. This is with version 09713. Anyone have thoughts about this?
I've tried playing back Transport Stream files (.TS) in GB-PVR and they do not work. These are .TS files from my collection on my harddrive. The .TS files play fine in Mediaplayer Classic. I've installed the K-Lite standard codec pack on my system.
In GB-PVR, they show up as selectable files in my video library but when I go to play them I only get a black screen with a messed up time index in the video libary.
My hardware specs are:
Celeron D 2.53Ghz
Hauppage PVR-150
GeForce FX 5200
Sound Blaster Live
System Default Video Decoder (also tried with NVIDIA Purevideo)
768MB of RAM
XP Professional
Anyhow have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,

I installed Video Archive3 as a Video Library replacement but it only lists shows recorded with GBPVR on the Recordings screen, even though there are .mpg TV recordings from another program in the folder. When I switch to the Movies screen, the hourglass just keeps going without finding anything.
Is this normal re Recordings and Movies, and if so what sorts of files will appear on the Movies screen? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling and turning off/removing other plugins as well as going back to the Blue skin. I'm running GBPVR v97.13 w/SQLite.
