Hi Sub,

just wondering if you were able to get to answering this post.

Just a friendly reminder thanks.

I discovered that if you disable the 'Interact with Desktop' in the Recording Service, so that the MediaMVP server won't interfere with the desktop, HIP won't be able to control a STB with HipSend.

I looking at a solution to that, possibly from Hips Author (again!)

My symptoms were: everything was fine, but I kept missing shows. The channels weren't changing...

For the time being, I'm allowing the Recording service to interact with the desktop, in the config, setting the media servers to 0, and using the Hauppauge media software to watch my programs across the network...

I'm trying to put something together to record audio to MP3 files I'm using the default DirectShow File Writer which connects OK to the LAME Encoder output (viewing the Remote Graph with GraphEdit during a debug session) but I get 0KB files when I run it.

If I save the graph from the application and open it later in GraphEdit, the file writer is always disconnected and I can't manually reconnect (the filters couldn't agree on a connection type error) - not sure how I get it to connect programmatically. If I alter my code to use IPin.QueryAccept I get an HRESULT of 1 which I believe is S_FALSE (all definitions of S_OK I can find are for 0).

So what I'm asking (in my usual concise way ) is - what sort of file sink can I use to record the MP3 output of the LAME encoder?

Cheers,
Brian

Hi psycik I read somewhere you were concerned for the ML2 speed with the new db. I finally got the new db installed and I must say it works great. I don't have any speed issues. Fyi I have about 7000 songs in the db. Great work
P.s. This is all through a MVP.

I currently have gbpvr setup with a pvr150 controling my digital cable box and it works fine. However I would like to add a 102g dvb card and was wondering how this setup would work. For example what would be showing in the guide the sat guide or the digital cable guide and how would I switch back and forth. Any info would be greatly welcomed. Thanks

Noticed on the home page that it mentions GBPVR supports the Hauppauge 350. Thought this was no longer supported? Page may need an update.

Hi. I'm recently having a problem with GB-PVR not changing the channels on my STB for recording...

It was all working quite well. I want to know which log would show, at what time, Hipsend is called... (to confirm the attempt)

I have:
GB-PVR 96.12
2x PVR 150 OEM
1 pvr150 analog Cable in (coax)
1 PVR Direct from STB, (s-video)

Hip is configured, Hipsend correctly sends info to Hip to IR blaster to change channels on STB...

Works when I change channels in TV Guide and Live TV

Only misses channel changes at scheduled recordings.

I have been playing with 97.7 installations, but I swear I backed everything up. It does not seem that GB-PVR is acting up any other way...

I will be doing a fresh install of GB-PVR 96.12, Hip, and plugins, utilities, batch files soon anyway, (to verify some installation docs I'm working on)

Just wanted to know if there was something obviously out of place

I've just upgraded to 0.97.7, migrated the database to SQLite, and updated the EPG.

I use the XMLTV Plugin, which gets its data from the UK Radio Times grabber. The programme description from this source can contains more than 255 characters, and formerly was truncated to this length in the PROGRAMME.description field in the Acesss database; this does not happen in SQLite, with the result that while descriptions are truncated in fixed panes in the GB-PVR interface to the size of the pane, in the Web Admin interface the full description appears in the TV Guide but overfills the Program Information window such that the buttons can be pushed below the bottom (see attachments for example).

There are two choices here, clearly: either you truncate the programme description to fit into the Program Information window (it would be nice to retain the Genre, though); or you put a vertical scrollbar on the window.

Over to you!

I am wrestling since three weeks with UBUstream, to get it to work on MVP. I do get UBUstream only to work in list mode via the PC console sofar.
I have configured it for using VLC, because that is needed to get it to run ultimately through MVP. I have followed the instructions from UBU, I have read the different threads on UBUstream and external recorder. I came to the conclusion that ExternalRecorder is probably the problem.
For a non-techies like myself the documentation is not very helpfull. On the wiki it says "Launch GB-PVR config, and add the ‘External Recorder Plugin’". I do not see how I can install this under plugins.
I did copy the DLL to the plugin subdirectory, assuming the author meant to say that. Next I added a new Capture source (was this what the author meant with adding plugin?) with 'External Recorder Plugin (IRecordingSourceConfig..)' EPGSource 'none', and 'no channelChanger required'. In the settings I filled in the example configuration from the WIKI documentation. Unfortunately the documentation says nothing further about how to use this plugin. So I guessed that I had to add one Channel which I called VLC.
As the documentation says that you can use this plugin for recording videastreams. I started GBPVR where I selected manual recording of channel VLC. Nothing happens except for an empty .mpg file being created.
Is there anybody out there who could update the ExternalRecorder wiki, to prevent others loosing a lot of time on this, and help me possibly out of this problem.

I currently have a computer using a Gigabyte (ATI) Radeon 9250 with Composite TV Out

I'm building another computer and am looking for an inexpensive video card. I'm sort of leaning towards a S-Video TV Out. I can find Nvidia cards in my price range.

Question: I seem to remember some discussion on nVidia cards having some trouble with GB-PVR. Can someone remind me?
