Is there a way to set a more describable name on a manual recoding?
i have 3 reoccuring recordings but i dont know which is which unless i go into them and check, so i wanted to set a better name on them.
this also includes "normal" manual recordings.

I have the Hauppauge 250BTV (Roslyn I suppose) but when watching LiveTV I get a huge spike in CPU Usage. I thought with a Hardware Encoder I woudln't see any affect on my CPU usage?

Is this hardware card supported?

Hi Sub and everyone

I am running 0.95.16 so this may have been fixed, but I haven't seen any mention of this before so I thought I'd ask. Every so often GBPVR shows an error when viewing the EPG. It's always for a specific day and time. Tonight it's showing up when viewing Wednesday April 12. If I scroll to 11PM, I get the error in the attached screen capture. The web EPG shows up and works just fine when viewing that same time. It only happens every so often so it's not a huge deal, but annoying nonetheless.

Glad to hear that release 2.0 went well. My release 1.0 happened back in February so I can sympathize with the 3am feedings. Congratulations, and thank you for all the hard work on GBPVR, it's much appreciated.

Hi there...

I'm trying to pad Lost so I can catch the end of the show. Here's the entry from the xml file:

<Recording priority="7">
<ProgramName>Lost</ProgramName>
<Quality>Medium</Quality>
<Suspended>False</Suspended>
<Duplicates>
<Recorded>No</Recorded>
<Scheduled>No</Scheduled>
</Duplicates>
<Padding>
<PrePadding>5</PrePadding>
<PostPadding>5</PostPadding>
<AdjustStartTime>5</AdjustStartTime>
<AdjustEndTime>5</AdjustEndTime>
</Padding>
</Recording>

Tonight I upgraded to the latest CDKscheduler and XRecord. I re-ran postupdateepg.bat, which also runs the deleterecordings and then runs priorityrecording.exe. All my programs are scheduling, but Lost in particular (I haven't checked other programs yet) is showing as being recorded from 9:00 to 10:01pm, the exact times as in the EPG. The adjustments and padding is being ignored. I have two tuners, 1 is scheduled for 9:00-10:01, 2 is scheduled for 9:00 to 10:00, and 2 again from 10:00 to 11:00. Is there something I'm missing? Any ideas why this isn't working? Thanks!

Hi,

Would someone be able to help me set up EPG for Australia?
There is a fair amount of information around about this subject, I've searched the forum and looked through the Wiki... but I'm missing something.

I have a PVR-150, so will be getting analogue not digital antenna broadcasts.

Is my understanding correct:
a) I can use Bladerunner or EPGrunner to grab tv listings for Australia?
b) In GBPVR config > Capture Source > EPG source, I should select "XMLTV Plugin"?
c) Under EPG Source > Settings, I should select the location of a .xml file created by Bladerunner or EPGrunner?

If this is all correct, can someone tell me the name and location of the .xml file created by Bladerunner or EPGrunner?

I have tried installing and running both of these grabbers; I don't think Bladerunner worked properly. When I tried running EPGrunner, it seemed to be happy enough, but it's not obvious to me where the .xml file is (or what it's called)... so maybe it didn't work.

Any help appreciated! If I get the answers I need I'll be happy to write this up for the Wiki...

Thanks!

I posted months ago about a stuttering playback problem when using my MVP which never was a problem before I did my yearly reformat and install in January. I did try the network tweak and registry change which was not present and it did appear to help out a very small bit but it's still such an aggravation, I end up simply burning my mpegs to dvd. Not the fastest/easiest solution.
Other things I've done is defrag....my system is not heavily fragmented and Diskeeper keeps it that way. Nothing is running while I'm playing back the files so that's not a problem. The files are on a separate drive with over 100 gig free and play fine on the computer and burn to dvd fine as well.
Question-would a firmware upgrade to the MVP help? Any other ideas?
Thanks

One annoyance is if I want to schedule a reoccurring show, I have to schedule using a show that hasn't started yet.

For instance, I have my EPG download set for 7 days. The Amazing Race 9 was just on an hour ago. I can't schedule a reoccuring for it until it shows up in the guide again. Maybe tomorrow.

I wish I could go into the guide to tonights episode and create a future reoccurring for when it shows back up in the guide again.

I just started using GBPVR with my newly isntalled Hauppauge 250BTV. So far I absolutely love it, besides my remote control situatiion which I still am very frustrated over.

But... when I watch LiveTV my CPU usage goes to 75% or higher. When recording or doing other things the CPU usage stays relatively normal... but it seems way too high for LiveTV.

Hi, I've found the forums very helpful with getting as far as I have with my PVR setup

My goal is to get GB-PVR changing channels on my Digital Sky Decoder STB.

I use the PVR-500 MCE complete with the kit (2 IR blasters, IR receiver and MCE2005 remote - http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/uploads/Hardware...ll-sm.jpg).

I've used HIP to learn the buttons I need that aren't recognised by default within GB-PVR (live TV, recordings etc).

I'm using the alternative MCE remote driver and have installed HIP and ticked the correct plugin etc. I've connected an IR blaster the to the IR receiver and attached it to the front of the set top box.

I've setup HIPsend to work with GB-PVR.

Here's where I stand:

- I can reliably control GB-PVR with the remote.
- I have learned the SKY remote controls with HIP and testing the blaster works consistantly (changes channels well when testing the 0-9 keypad values I've learned).
- I'm able to get GB-PVR to reliably change channels on the set top box using the keyboard (triggers the blaster, which is picked up by my sky box)

Problem:

I can't consistantly use my MCE2005 remote to change the channel on the sky box. More often than not, GB-PVR thinks it's changed, and this is indicated by the on screen info, but either the blaster doesn't send the signal to the Sky box, or else it doesn't get read properly.

I don't understand why this works with using the keyboard...

It seems to be more reliable when selecting a program from the TV guide than it is from the number pad on the remote too.

Any suggestions on how I can make this reliable?

I tried a few things:

- Varied the location of the blaster - this didn't make a difference, and anyway, it works consistantly during the testing from HIP
- Tried moving the IR Receiver away from the IR Blaster in case it was interfering - didn't make a difference
- Tried different commands when sending the HIPsend codes to HIP...

Here's how I called HIPsend from the command line for the 0 keypad:
hipsend 0
I've read that the timings can be a factor, and also tried:
hipsend 0 700

Any help would be much appreciated. I love the setup, but would need to get more consitant results...


Thanks in advance.
