First let me say thanks to you guys who have filled this forum with so much good info. I'm not very computer savvy and I've been able to get my machine up and running with few issues.
Thanks.
the only thing I can't seem to figure out at this point is how to get full screen viewing on my SDTV. I have the tool bar on auto-hide so that goes away but there is still a bar at the top of th screen with the close out "X", and the minimize/maximize buttons. This weekend I plan on getting rid of my monitor all together so getting the best performance out of my SDTV is next on my list.

Hi,

I got two questions about the Live TV and the picture library.

1. When I start the Live TV, everything works proper, after I change the channels a few times, the Live TV stops and returns to the main menu. I've got this Problem since the first time I used GBPVR two years ago. What can I do to use the Live TV?

2. I want to use the picture library to view for example our holiday pictures. But when I load a picture, the aspect ratio is not correct on the TV (using the TV out from the Hauppauge PVR 350). I know that I found a way to correct it by an entry in a config file, unfortunately I am not able to find that entry again. Does anybody know where I can change the ratio?

Thanks in advance.

I'm about to start work with the High Resolution version of BaseSkin.
First I will make a 1024x768 version to get the right font size.
After that I will make a WideScreen version in 1366x768 resolution.
The plan is that the BaseSkin will be configurable with 3 different resolutions
SD=720x480, HD=1024x768, WideScreen 1366x768 resolution.

But all ThemePacks needs to be modified with new font sizes.....and this will take some time, so I'm asking you:

What ThemePacks would you like to first have in HD & WideScreen format ?
All BaseSkin users......tell me what Themes you like the best ?

I ask as I was looking for a place to put:

start /d "c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr" gbpvr.exe -OnlyEmptyEpg
start /d "c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr" gbpvr.exe -OnlyUpdateEPG

and other threads indicate updateepg.bat is the place for that.

I do have a postupdateepg.bat, but not an updateepg.bat in the root directory. My EPG updates still work fine without one (I have auto epg updates configured in the config) which leads me to believe it is not required anymore?

If I add one to the root will it be run before postupdateepg.bat?

Hello all... you know I'm new user of GBPVR coming from mediaportal.

I have this situation: I'm watching a tv show. I enable timeshifting mode (I dont pause video) to be able to watch it after going to dinner, and when I go to watch recorder show, only be able to rewind current show! previos has dissapeared...

how it works? in mediaportal, you was be able to set timeshifting duration... no matter how many shows it recorded... any way to do this in GBPVR?

Thanks a lot

I got the following three tuners in this order
tuner #1 haupauge 150 (no FM)
tuner #2 winfast 2000/xp (crappy software tuner)
tuner #3 avermedia hdtv A180

Now when I try to just record an HDTV show at 8 pm but no other show and subsequently the hauppauge is open it says it's recording the show I choose with the hauppauge, however it actually records on the cannel it waslast tuned too (channel 7) instead of using the avermedia tuner. Also at times when I am recording another show and for some reason gbpvr chooses to record with the winfast because an hour later a recurring show would overlap suddenly it does this as well with the hauppauge 150, the only way right now to ensure that the hauppuage 150 doesn't snatch up my hdtv show is to record 2 sdtv shows to fill those tuners first.
the HDTV channels are listed in my guide after the regular channels
please help

Hi,
since I have updated my drivers(1.0.103 -> 1.0.107) for a PV913(conexant drivers) GBPVR will no longer acknowledge the card is installed in my system. I know the drivers work because the card is usable in another application.

I have attached a working and non working log set with dialog captures if that is any help. With the old version of the driver the card tunes fine.

ideas appreciated?
thanks

I haven't seen anyone else posting pics of their rig's and setups, so I will start a thread for it. I don't have anything spectacular, but figured I would show it off anyway.

Pics show my entertainment center, the GB-PVR rig (in an Antec Aria case) and last but not least..... my REMOTE! I had an ATI Remote Wonder lying around before I ordered my PVR150MCE... so I didn't order one with a remote.

So come on everyone, lets see them pics!

What is needed to develop plugins post 97.7 .NET 2.0 enviroment ? Like Fabien I'm keen to have a crack developing a foobar plugin but haven't had much programing experience in the .net enviroment.

I've taken a look the tutorial pdf in the getting started section and it's all about visual studio .net 2003.

I know this is not a forum for Windows xp MCE, but frankly I want your guys' advice here, hopefully some of you know MCE.

I've basically been going from software to software till I find out which one I like best, right now I'm on MCE.

I had used gbpvr before and was having a problem getting hardware deinterlacing to work. CSY had helped me with that, and I had finally gotten it fixed.

Well, now it seems that I'm having the EXACT same problem with MCE. When I'm playing something in MCE I do NOT get VMR Default or PIxel adaptive, I only get the Bob and Weave of overlay.

I have gone through various forums and found that you need to change some things in Windows Media PLayer 10 in order to get VMR9/dxva enabled for MCE. This is to un-check 'use overlay' and then check 'use high quality mode' or something along those lines. I have also read that you need to search through the registry and find all the DXVA values and turn them to 1, I have checked this and they all are already 1.

Any help, if you know, especially CSY would be appreciated.

Thank you.
