Can anyone tell me how to get the remote to initiate? I have unistalled drivers and the program twice and it still won't pick up the remote. Thanks

Anybody still have old versions of GBPVR, maybe we can start a historical archive for GBPVR. Incidentally, does anybody have screen shots of GBPVR first version, just curious?

This guide is to walk the end user through the Appearance Manager plugin.

Note: Appearance Manager is often abbreviated AM

First, you need an AM compatible skin. Check here

For this guide I will be using the Chameleon Skin but the concept is the same for others.

Fire up GBPVR and you get your typical Main Menu.

Select the Appearance plugin.
The first button (depending on the AM skin) selects where the backgrounds are located.
For Chameleon the button will read "A Chameleon".
Other skins will list something else, or this button may not exist.
For this guide, I will use the left or right arrow (or remote button) to select MCE2 as my backgrounds.

Now, I will use the down arrow to go to the "MainBackground" button.
Using the left or right arrows, I will select this background.

Am new to GBPVR and am looking to contribute to the wiki.

However I get a login screen when I select the EDIT button or add the action=edit to the URL. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Everyone, I'm a n00b to gbpvr but been into the HTPC world for quite a while now.

I've recently installed gbPVR plus the 'my music' and 'my programs' plugins and they were working fine. However, they have all of a sudden vanished from the main menu in gbpvr and are no longer showing in the plugins tab in config.exe.

I've gone into the plugins folder and the .dll files are all still there.

I'm using the Blue Skin so am pretty sure its not a problem with the skin

I've attached my log files in a zip.

Thanks for your help. I look forward to your responses.

I've finally decided to bring my gbpvr setup into the digital age, and am trying to decide between these two cards. Does anyone have experience of either, especially how well it works (and easy it is to set-up) with gbpvr?

I'm looking at getting the nova-t from here, or the Twinhan from here.
The cards will be used for getting Freeview channels in the UK.

Thanks in advance for any input.

I have been getting this error message recently:

"Failed to restart Infrared Remote Hardware after Standby"

It happens after my computer goes into standby. This is a new problem. I have the Hauppauge remote (45 key). I have to reset the computer in order for the remote to work.

Yesterday morning, I went to check the TV Guide to set up a recording for Sunday, and I got a window saying "No channels have been set up. Please run the Configuration utility and setup the EPG source..."

I thought it was weird, but I went into the config utility, checked my settings (they are right), and updated the EPG info. I'm still getting the popup when I try to look in the Guide. See the attached screenshot.

If I go into "Search Guide," I can see the programs listed, but each program has 8 entries listed (same time and channel, so they're not repeats). See other attached screen shot.

So far, I've uninstalled and reinstalled GBPVR, removed and set up my capture devices, and verified that my zap2it account is up to date and active. I've also poked around a copy of the .mdb file, and the guide has program info all the way up to 5/12, so I know it's getting the information.

I'm running WinXp SP2, GBPVR 0.96.12, with a PVR500 capture card. I have also attached the config.exe.log file from the most recent time I updated the EPG listings.

Anyone have any ideas?
