In my main DVD directory, I have 3 folders and a 2 movie files. The folders and all the movies in them show in VA, but the 2 files at the top do not show up anymore. I just upgraded to GBPVR 0.97.7 and VA dated 05/18/06.

Is the top directory not supposed to be used for files now?

Also, in the plugin setup for the "Users", in the DVDs directory list, it show nested directories, but when I presses to rescan, the nested directories disappeared.

Thinking about it, is this new Users feature the reason that the top directory doesn't hold files. It would partly make sense since you would not put permissions on the top directory.

Thanks,

my monitor often displays:

Video is playing back using TV out
Press 'Home' to return to the menu

could there be a way to change that??
possibly put a show description on there while it is playing??
or even let it go to blank screen or the GBPVR screen saver??

what is with the green square in the corner??
what is 'Home' and how do I press it??
the remote that came with my 150 has a 'go' button that has a pic of a house (maybe a camera) on it, but it brings up a small tv guide at the bottom of the screen.

The cord on the IR sensor of my PVR250 remote has a 2.5mm jack. I need to extend it a few feet but it doesn't work when I use an extesion cable with a 2.5mm jack. I know the extension cable is good so what could the problem be?

*Could the extension be too long (it's 12.5 ft)?
*Could the IR sensor use some funky wiring that only looks like a standard 2.5mm audio cable?

Thanks,

I was doing fine, but now this problem has popped up.

I have dual tuners, and the system often records 2 at a time (as it should).
latley, I have been getting alot of conflicts popping up when only 2 shows are scheduled.
also, I cannot watch live tv when it is recording even just 1 show because no tuners are "available."
If I exit GBPVR and click on the tray icon, it says the other tuner is sleeping.

this doesnt happen every time. it still records 2 at a time a few times a day.

I have 1 channel turned off for 1 tuner (bad sound but only on that tuner and that channel).
all the other channels are available for both.

what can I do to make it reliable again??

Looking at getting a modem to use the caller ID plugin anyone have any ideas on a good cheap one from the US? Also can any of them do Caller ID on Call Waiting, also called Call Waiting ID ?

Thanks

I have GB-PVR running on my PC and things are working fine. I have a pretty old video card with terrible video out quality when I hook it up to the TV using S-Video. My questions are as follows...

1. Does the MVP use the video card at all or does it process all that info by itself?

2. Could I get an MVP and not worry about upgrading my video card?

3. If not, should I buy a really nice video card and hook it up to the TV and bypass buying an MVP altogether?

Thanks!

Has anyone tired ORB? I found it in a thread somewhere either here on GBPVR or somewhere on the 'net.

Anyway, it basically takes all your video, photo, and audio files and lists them to a web site that you can go to at any time from any computer with an internet connection and a web browser.

I thought it was pretty cool. But, on the videos it does bandwidth detection backwards. I have 512k upload speed at home (where my PC is that I keep all the files on), and 90Mb at the office, plus a 1 Gig link if I really need it ORB does a test of your download speed where you are, so if I try to watch a video at the office from home, its all messed up, because the site thinks I have 90Mb, but my house has only 512 to serve.

Anyway, its nice because it dosen't require any software on the PC you are at.

I don't know how many times I've been at someone's house talking about photos I took on a trip or whatever, and said "I wish I brought them with me.", now I can!

I just got a MCE 2005 remote and IR transceiver. I got the channel changer programmed OK. I've noticed that channels with identical numbers, 11, 22, 33, etc. only get entered as 1, 2, 3, etc. on the cable box, I have a feeling the timing is too quick. I found this MS knowledge base article about the sequence timing but it only seems to apply to people actually running MCE. http://support.microsoft.com/default.asp...s%3B896480

Is there a way to tell the MCE 2005 changer plugin to use a slowly timing entry with GBPVR? Thanks.

I have a wintv pvr250 (non mce version). If I were to purchase an MCE IR remote control will it work correctly with gbpvr to tune channels and everything else. The only reason im asking this question is because I dont have the mce version of the wintv pvr250 and I wasnt sure if an MCE remote would work correctly with it.

Thanks

Sub,

It may help cut down on redundant postings if there was an obvious link to the wiki site from the forum. It seems like many people come to the site and post questions that are on the wiki (and most don't even know what the wiki is). Then make it a bold button that says "lots of good answers here".

Just a thought. Keep up the great work (get some sleep and spend time with the kids
