Hey all,

I just upgraded up to 97.9, and made sure to disable all plugins for now.. everything seems to work just fine, except when I try to record Live TV in timeshift mode, I get the following error:



Anyone else seen this error? Here's the error in the logs:

Now, with me being Lazy & all - I was wondering if anyone else had already set up some comskip INI file for use with NZ channels.

I would like to know what settings are used for Discovery (sometimes the ads change aspect ratio, and some ads there is no logo - but on some it still appears)

Who is NZ actually uses Comskip - and how much success have they had with it - how much tinkering did it take to get it correct?

Sky Sports would also be a good channel for skipping ads - but I think that may be difficult as the action on the screen may interfere with Comskips heruistics etc.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi Guy's, ( and Gals )


I have one of thee tuners: -
http://www.cworld.com.au/info.php?ID=117480

i'm in Sydney Australia.
I'm under the impression that this card does not carry BDA support, as I tried getting it working under MCE2005.
It didn't work.
So someone reccommended me GBPVR, which I've installed.

My tuner doesn't seem to be there under 'Capture Sources'.

Is there a compatible one in the list ?
Has anyone used the same tuner as me before, got any tips ?

I'm a bit of a n00b with this stuff, so be gentle :p

Hi,

I have recently installed gb on my pc and have everything set it and it seems to all be fine. However, when I set it to record a program it acts as if it is recording but once complete the file has a name but no data related to it (comes in at 0kb).

Does anyone have any idea as to what my issue is (why it is not actually recording?).

I have a Hauppauge 250 connected to direct cable using an internal turner.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've had problems with my video playback (gbpvr v0.96.12) locking up and/or freezing during replay of recorded shows. This can happen with fast forwarding (rewinding, etc) or right in the middle of play. Sometimes it doesn't freeze/restart the system altogether but subsequent menu navigation takes a long time (requiring a system restart).

I've also found a sample of the error messages in the gbpvr.exe.log (below)

I have the full log if needed....

Additional System Info
PC: Dell GX240 / 1.7 GHz / 512 MB RAM
MediaMVP (Model 1000) / USB2 PVR / U.S. Robotics Wireless Router (802.11 g)

hello,

I just bought a Hauppauge PVR USB2 and this works wery well.
I selected some channels in winTV2k, and would like to display them into GB-pvr.

As I understood the doc, the config of channels needs the channem name(bbc), and the 'cource channel'. what the hell is this?
I tried many things, and I always endup with confused channels/names when looking live TV...

I'm in Belgium and have added the xmltv file
Wintv has it's own channel ID which is not editable, a channel order, and a freq value.
I tried to setup GBpvr on the channelID but this did not work. Some channels are right, others are swapped, and some are missing (invalid freq, black screen)
I tried to set the freq into the 'source channel' of GB-PVR with the resultof having only one channel running for all names.

I also tried the freqCopysoftware. But when the channels are into the registry, what I'm supposed to do??

if you can, please help...
thank you
Vincent

Hey guys,

I got sick of MCE so i formatted and installed XP Pro along with GB PVR since it does what MCE does but without bitching about drivers.

I got an HDTV Powercolor 700
AMD Athlon XP 2000
100Mbit network link (switched)
Server with 5TB on it (switched network port as well, no traffic)
I am feeding a 37" Sharp Aquos using a DVI cable.
Hauppauge PVR-500
System is running with a resolution of 1776x1000

Ok, now that the specs are out of the way.

I used to be able to play DVD rips directly off the server under MCE and for the most part it worked ok. When i try to play DVDS off the same box but with GBPVR it seems to be choking along the lines somewhere. The playback is very choppy but audio sounds fine.

GB PVR is consuming 99% of the system resources.

I get no issues playing back recorded TV shows or recording one show while watching another.

I have not yet tried copying a DVD to the box and playing it locally but i am in the process of doing that and will post the outcome.

Is anyone able to shed some insight in to this problem?

Joe

Greetings,

I'm preparing a dedicated box as a media center and have a few questions for the GB-PVR gurus.
My basic system setup will be as follows.

AMD atholon xp +3000 @ ~2.15gig
Soyo kt600 dragon ultra MB
-onboard Cmedia 6 channel audio
1 gig system ram
VisionTek Radeon X1300 with 512 onboard video ram
Haupauge PVR250
windows 2k
2 HD
-1 40 gig seagate (of questionable speed and buffer)
-1 250 gig maxtor 7200 RPM with 16mb buffer

My intention, is to have a basic windows install on my seagate drive with near nothing but software needed for media purposes. And on the maxtor, I intend a 1-2 gig partition for virtual memory, a ~48 gig partition for liveTV buffer, 100 gig for media (ie my cd collection, movies, etc etc) and a 100 gig partition for television recordings.

So, my questions are these. Firstly I ask the guru's on this board if these set-up with my given hardware is ideal? Second, should I adjust any of these partition values? Would I be better off with a larger live tv buffer (I know it depends upon how long I want to be able to have my signal paused, so how long does a ~48ish gig partition give me of liveTV, it's probably excessive, but... I don't know, that's why I come to you)... and does lastly, does GB-PVR even benefit from running on a seperate hard drive from where it the encoded video goes? or would I suffer performance loss because of it?

ummm, heh, I think that's mostly the extent of my questions for now. I appreciate your time and input

Hi all,
i currently have a hauppaugge Pvr 150 and been using it along with GB Pvr for the past year with cable to record shows when i am unable to watch them like a VCR method. Next month i will be switching to Dish Network and i need to figure out how i can continue to record my daily shows with Dish Network like the Vcr method. I have read some of the other postings and i think i have it figured out and need some confirmation on if i am right or not.

I need to set up channel 17 by adding it under the capture source's. sounds easy anything else i am missing ?

Does Zap2it have a Dish network channel line up that i can use or must i always choose channel 17 to record for my shows ?

Also anytime and everytime i record a show will i always set it to record on channel 17 in GB Pvr and the Dish network should change it to whatever channel by the reciever that i want to record ?

I think that is all of my questions for now i havent gotten the Dish network yet and i am trying to get it all figured out so i can know everything and go right into it.


Thanks

Does anyone have experience with Verizon FIOS and GBPVR? I considering switching off of cable, but I don't want to waste my two PVR 150's.

There are hints on the FIOS website that the TV and internet service share a common router, and that you can send data over it (to the MVP? maybe?).

Also does anyone have experience working with two tuners and one set-top box?
