It seems that many people are looking for places to get the URLs for streaming internet TV and Radio stations to use with the UbuStream plugin. I'm starting this thread as a place where we can share our favourite web stations and/or links to favourite aggregation sites.

I'll start the ball rolling with this link to the Resources page on my UbuRemote site which has a list of useful links for streaming media fans.

The UbuStream plugin is discussed in this thread and may be found on the GBPVR wiki.

Just bought a brand new WINTV-PVR-150. I finished installing it and the tv functionality works great. However, I cannot get the remote to work at all. I have tried all of the steps in the manual as well as on Hauppauge's web site to no avail. I have tried the newest beta version of IRBlaster, tried new batteries, made sure the remote jack is completely seated in the card, rebooted several times, and made sure the remote is pointing directly at the receiver. Any suggestions??

I've successfully added the Weather Panel to my VA Panel. Is there a way to limit the information shown? What I'd like to display is the current weather icon, current temperature, and location/city.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this? Can I access the weather data without using the VA Panel?

Howdy! I just installed GBPVR and have everything working except I can't hear net radio and when I play DVD's it does this funky thing where there are black bars running about every inch or so and then messes up. It's really hard to describe. DVD's play fine in winDVD.

Here is my setup:
TV - Samsung 47" RPTV HDTV
MB - K8NGM2-FID
memory - 2x 512Mb OCZ
Athlon 3700+ san deigo
TV Card - Avermedia A180 with BDA drivers
remote - MCE Remote
HD - 40 gig Seagate - currently used for OS and recordings, but have another 250gig IDE maxtor that I will install shortly for records
DVD player - phillips DVD-ROM
OS - WinXP Home
Decoder - Nvidia Pure Video


Thanks in advance!!

When I try to use the Net Radio plugin, I get the following error:


I haven't used it for a while, and I didn't have any favourites. I tried re-installing, but it didn't help.

I have attached all of the logs.

Hi,

I listen to audio books through the MVP and i've noticed quite recently that files that play perfectly on the PC via say winamp / media player dont seem to play properly through GBPVR / MVP.

Some files will stop near the end of a track and cut off a couple of at worst seconds. I don't know why it does this as i've never noticed it with music files.

How does GBPVR handle MP3s? I'm wondering if its doing something that detects say "dead air" in the audio file and thinks its the end of the track when it isn't? Its rather frustrating

Anyone got any ideas? i've looked in the config .xml to try and find something to help but to no avail.

Hello everyone,

I'm a current BTV user and I'm considering making the jump to gbpvr. It has a lot of super cool features that BTV simply doesn't do or doesn't do correctly. I've read every page of the wikki and I've demo-ed gbpvr for a little while at home. My question is if there is a plugin or some way to get the TV Guide as an OSD when watching a recording. Frequently when I'm watching a program I may see a commercial or may just be reminded of something else that I wish to record in the future. I just hit the button for the TV Guide, find the program and setup the recording. With BTV I can do this with a transparent OSD and it's quite lovely. I haven't seen anything like that in gbpvr.

Does gbpvr have this ability?

Thanks in advance,

//Rob

I have spent many hours trying out MediaPortal and GBPVR. I had given up on the latter due to its apparent inabilty to find more than 15 channels (repeated across frequencies that the software which came with my MSI MEGASKY 580 does not even pickup as being local frequencies!!), although these channels are duplicated 6 times (across the 6 local frequencies). However, despite MediaPortal being excellent until its recent CVS changes completely stuffing itself, I decided to revisit GBPVR.
Having spent hours researching frequencies, various PIDs etc. from the configuration files of MP, GBPVR and output from TransEdit MMC demo, I believed I had put together a comprehensive list of the channels and their associated data to enable me, with the help of a forum topic here on GBPVR, to manually edit my cache file.
However, editing it made no difference - ie. channel frequencies which are entirely valid, and are picked up by MP and Presto!PVR (came with MSI device), still do not work....
How on earth is GBPVR tuning? Why is it missing entirely valid channels (broadcasting at good strength)? Perhaps someone from the dev team should look at some code from MP.... if GBPVR got its tuning correct, I'd use it. Instead, I'm stuck with Presto because it works (despite it's awful lack of features, interface and crap use of EPG!!)

HELP ME SOMEONE!!

I can provide my version of the cache file, and my entries in BDA.ini if someone wishes to inspect!!

GBPVR looks to be a brilliant interface (with added benefit of Net Radio too - especially "The Goon Show"!!), if only it tuned properly!!

Does anyone know how to manually schedule GB-PVR to record from a Scientific Atlanta cable box with the S-Video output connected to the S-Video input of a PVR-350....?? I used the configuration utility to configure the S-Video in port of the 350 to be channel 109, and it plays fine on both the PC as well as the MVP, but if I try to manually schedule a recording, channel 109 doesn't show up on the list of channels. I also noted that when switching to channel 109, the on-screen display will only display 2 digits (so it momentarily displays channel 10, even though it really switched to channel 109). If anyone has done this, I could use some tips...!!! Thanks.
