I'm using the latest version of GB-PVR 0.97.13 and I've converted to SQLite. Things seem to be going well.

I've noticed the following issue/bug:

If I record a show and then decide to watch it a short time after, I fast forward so that I can catch up. I find that pressing the fast forward buttons a couple of times gets me thrown back to the menu.

I then have to play it again, hit resume, and skip another couple of times before being thrown back to the menu again.


This doesn't happen when I watch videos with the MyVideos plugin, or when I watch shows that have finished recording.

I'll do more testing if needs be, but wondered if anyone else has this problem?

I have a dual tuner card (pvr500mce).

One is used for Sky (composite) and the other for terrestrial via the antenna.

A problem that comes up time and time again is if I want to record a program that is on terrestrial and then schedule a Sky recording that occurs at the same time - the Sky tuner has been reserved for the terrestrial show and I have to cancel it and then rebook it.

Ideally I would like the Default tuner to be the Sky tuner - better reception etc, but I'd like to be able to override this - I have some reception problems on terrestrial, and so I'd like to be able to know that the bad channels use the Sky tuner etc.

The amount of times I've got in trouble with the other half because my shows record fine, but hers use the bad reception channel is unbelievable...

Hi,

I have the websceduling is running on the default port and I have pinholed my router to forward requests on ports 7647 and 80 to port 7647 on the PVR. I use dyndns to assign a static domain to my router (it has builtin support for updating dyndns records). I had to add port 80 as a second port because the IT department at my partner's work had port 7647 blocked.

I can use the webscheduling fine from my work and other machines on the LAN, but my partner cannot from her workplace - she gets the login page, but when she clicks 'Log In' after entering the username/password, "The little bar thing goes along at the bottom but the screen doesn't change" (her words ). Any idea why she can't login but I can?

PS: The webscheduling feature is awesome! I didn't even know about it until someone at my work started using GBPVR and told me about it :eek:

The recordings are actually recorded at 352X480, rather than 720X480!! Video is squashed horizontally when viewed in WMP 10. Weird thing is - this only occurs when I record via the web interface - recordings are just fine (i.e. 720X480) when kicked off from the PC it is running on!!!!

97.13 - Hauppauge 250 - WinXP SP2

A new version (v1.6) of the UbuStream plugin for use with GB-PVR 97.13 is now available on the wiki. This version upgrades the UbuStreamCmd executable to work correctly with the new version of the SQLite dll (1.0.30.1). This is only required for those using UbuStream in channel mode. If you are using UbuStream in list mode only, v1.5 is already compatible with 97.3 so upgrading to 1.6 is not strictly neccessary.

UbuStreamCmd.exe is the only component changed in this release so, for existing v1.5 users, copying this executable file from the zip archive to the gbpvr directory (folder) is all that is required.

I have 4 tuners in my machine and am wondering if there is a way that anyone knows of to monitor each tuner independently? Kinda like status monitors?

Thanks!

Just a little thought that may be an easy throw in - A way to list your recordings by length. So when you have lots of recordings and are looking to squeeze another 30 minutes of TV watching before bed - Just change the view to show shortest to longest - That way its easy to group your Mindless 30 minute sitcoms and your movies/mini-series at the bottom. The last two nights in a row I've watched my favorite programs through to 10:30 (House and Prison break) only for them both to end as "To be continued.............." leaving you with an unsatiated viewing experience with my brain demanding watching something with closure before shutting down for the night.

Not a biggy - but if it were easy to do it could be a feature people would find handy at time.

I've installed the latest version of gbpvr and the video stutters when playing. This happened on the previous version that I had installed too. No issues with MP3 playback. I got the Hauppauge server working and video plays fine. I am in Canada and have the Hauppague 150 tuner card. Can someone point me to the right config fields to look at?

Thanks,
Patrick..

Hey guys.. I'm looking to get a pda that I can use to stream GBPvr recorded programs via EWA's streaming function. Can someone suggest a PDA that can (a) handle the streaming (via VLC or WMP), (b) connect wirelessly via wireless b or g, © and is relatively inexpensive. I'm more than happy buying a used device. I'm hoping to find something around the $100 US range. I know that these devices have been around for a while, so I'm hoping to be able to find something a bit older but still up to the task.

Any insight on what models/makers to look at would be greatly appreciated.

I made an assumption that sizes in textstyles are based on "Points" (1pt = 1/72 inches).

I think I am wrong when I say 13pt fonts. Is it in fact pixels instead? Also, there is apparently a bit of "padding" around text. If so, is it a fixed value or a ratio?

I am trying to develop some "rules of thumb" when using text because somethimes the height allowed for text strings is too much, or not enough. There is alot of trial and error and guessing.

Anyone have something to go by?
