I'm currently using gbpvr by streaming the video wirelessly from my pvr to my mvp. I also want to be able to watch my recordings from another pc located in another part of my house (as well as watch live tv). I got the pc connected to my network this weekend. What do I have to do to be able to watch programs from my pvr on this pc? Do I just install gbpvr on that machine as well and map a drive to my pvr pc that's doing the recording?

I have ATI HDTV Wonder and in WatchHDTV program I can watch following four channels(info from http://www.remotecentral.com/hdtv):

channel-sub channel-psip channel number
20-1-5
40-1-9
66-1-52
53-1-57

With GBPVR, when I switch to channels 40 or 66 (second and third in above list) I get black sreen and no sound. The signal meter shows full quality and high strength (but it does not seems to be moving at all on those channels).
The attached jpg shows what is in my tuning for the channels.
I wanted to attach a log file as well but I'm not sure which one.

Any advice and/or help would be greatly appreciated and I can also do some testing if needed.

Thanks.

Any ideas why my IVideoPlugin.setVideoMode() method does not fire? It used to work in 97.9, but no longer does.

You know how whenever internet explorer crashes or something crashes, there's an option for us to send a report to microsoft?

I was just wondering... maybe it'd be nice to make something like that for GBPVR? Maybe have a button that we can click where it'll automatically zip up the relevant log files and automatically (assuming you're connected to the internet) send the log files to sub? Oh, maybe it can even gather up all the relevant info like what skins, plugins, direct3d drivers, and versions of everything too so it'll help diagnose the problem easier!

Maybe even have a pop up box to write in the problem you were experiencing before you decided to send the log files.

Just a thought to help with debugging and stuff.

First off. Thank you to the people responsible for this software. Nicely done.

Second, a few questions.

1.
I have a Plextor TV402U and a 2.4G PC. Whenever I am recording I cannot watch Live TV. When recording is active (it doesn't matter how I start it) I get the screen that gives me a choice to "Dont watch TV" or "Watch: xxxxx". When I select "Watch:xxxxx" I go back to the main menu.

I can't find a post that talks about this except for one confusing one that may have been similar and maybe fixed it by changing the overlay options. I tried that with no luck.

2.
Probably to sub. Is this unit currenly supported. I get the impression from some of the posts that it may not be. If not, will I be having more problems as time goes on.

Thanks to all that can help.

I have MusicaUno on TVE in the US set to record as a reoccuring recording. Today something else was in its place and even the TV Guide had the name of the other show in its place. Yet, the GBPVR recorded the show. Why? How can I fix this?

I'm unable to play DVDs though gb-pvr. When I select DVD from the main menu I get a black screen and the DVD never plays. I can go back to the main menu by hitting the stop button. I am able to play DVDs through Windows Media Player and I also have VLC media player which can play the DVDs. Are they trying to use different decoders then gb-pvr?

I saw another thread which mentioned a similar problem, but the user was also unable to play DVDs through WMP. Like I said, I don't have that problem. I would try to install one of the other options sub mentioned in that same thread, but they look like they all cost money and don't see why I should pay just to integrate DVD playing into gb-pvr. I can use another method, but it would be nice to play from within gb-pvr if possible.

I have two failed recordings I can't delete. What gives? How do I fix this?

Hi,

A feature I would like to see in a plug-in for GB-PVR is email notification. There have been a few times where I have missed a recording because I didn't realize that there was a conflict or I was running out of room on my hard drive. If I received a status email when there are conflicts, and when my hard drive had, say, 10% free space, that would be very useful. I have checked the forums and wiki, and I have not seen a plug-in that does this yet. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to write this program. I only do C Programming (and pretty basic at that). Is there someone out there who would be willing to write this plug-in?

Well. This weekend I've reserved for finding a transcoding solution that works for me.

I believe / hope that I've found one using mencoder, and assuming everything plays well, I am going to do the rename trick to put mencoder in ffmpeg's place, altering the config file to use the alternate command lines.

This will work, right?

And assuming it does, it takes me to the next question. I have ~250GB of MPEG2 recordings that I would like to transcode. Further, I would like the gbpvr database to point to the new file. I would rather not do it manually.

So, once I get mencoder in place and playing well with others, if I turn on automatic transcoding in Config, will it (gbpvr) go back and start transcoding previous files? Or is the automatic transcode limited to new recordings as they complete (which is still fine for going forward, but doesn't help me with what I already have recorded.)

If the latter, are there any tools / suggestions for making the process as painless as possible?

Once again, many thanks to you all for whatever thoughts you may offer!
