Just had a case where a scheduled recording never finished.
Set a few recordings for Saturday then went away for the weekend.
When I got home on Sunday night the first recording was displayed as still going.
Could not cancel it (tried 3 times). In the end I had to restart the recording service and GBPVR.
I also looked at the gbpvr.mdb before restarting the service and the scheduled recording still had a status of in-progress.
The recordings that were due to run after the first one did not run, despite having dual tuners and plenty of disk space.
When I looked at the mpeg it was quite corrupt, with audio sync way out.
Occasionally the signal strength/quality here is bad and I get rotten recordings. Seems like the recording service just spat the dummy due to the back signal.
During 1 of my recorded shows, during every bendover scene theres a farting noise lol.... kinda ruined a new episode... of a show
People who recorded GITS know what i mean lol.
I know that this is not the place for this type of problem, but maybe someone has had the same problem and has a fix. Or help from doing the same as me!
Problem. Original XP doesn't support disks over 137GB. In service pack 1 this is fixed. I have done everything possible to fix this, registry fix etc etc but to no avail. Anyone ? Yes my mobo does suppot 48bit etc. I have SP2
Think I'm looking at a reformat of the drive.
This shows that one should install the second (larger than 137GB) drive AFTER one had installed sp 1 or 2.
I've been using it for about a week now and it's been great until today. When I turned it on, all I get for the menu is a blank screen. I have made no changes to the settings of GBPVR so I don't understand the reason for this problem. Any help?
I unzipped the System Status Plugin to the GBPVR directory. Now what do I do? I don't see a way to enable it in the Config app. I saw something about editing the skin.xml file?
After having problems with my first install, I totally rebuilt and have been testing with the bare minimum...
AMD Athlon 1700+
512MB RAM
Windows 2000 (fully updated)
GBPVR v96.12 (MVP Related Patch)
Hauppauge 500MCE
Media MVP
I briefly had comskip installed, but removed it fearing it was the problem when I saw this behavior. I do have the ContourHC skin installed - I can't get by without episode names.
Everything will be just fine, but ocassionaly when I go to a recorded show the reported length (top green bar) will be very short, but the weird thing is the file is full size, and the full file will play, but once I'm beyond the displayed time I usually can't pause or ff without GBPVR booting me out of the recording like it's over. The same file in Windows Media Player also displays the short time. This happens sporatically, and seems more prone to happen when GBPVR has been busy.
Here is an example. I rebooted this morning. All my recordings were set up as reoccurring with a one minute pad front and back though the basic "search guide" feature.
This computer has nothing but Windows 2000 and GBPVR on it. The MVP wasn't on for any of the recordings. I'm stumped. Could this be a memory issue? It seems like my bare system uses a lot of memory. It's using 370MB doing nothing but displaying the main screen.
Please help, any suggestions are welcome. I don't know how to begin to trouble shoot this.
I used to have an older release installed (.95.something I think) and had it runnign pretty smoothly. Now I have upgraded to .96.12 and I cannot get livetv to work. Rather than fight with it, I would like to step back into my older version, but I didn't save the install file. Is there anywhere to download it??
Upon installing GB-PVR on Win2k, I came up with some funky error message, when config.exe was supposed to run after installation ("Config.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close").
I have DX9c, .Net 2.0 and MDAC 2.8 installed, so I somewhat puzzled as to what the problem might be. Even more puzzling is, that when I installed a BTV demo afterwards some DX9 and .Net related stuff was downloaded and after that GB-PVR was running.
Another strange thing in this context is, that the msi installation file is always accessed and run on bootup (I noticed, because the msi is on an external drive - when unplugged I get an error message).
Now I've installed GB-PVR on a second machine (the first install was a dry run) and came up with the same problem. As I don't want to clutter this system with another BTV install, I wonder, if there is any solution to this conundrum.
I've noticed a problem for a while and finally decided to ask the experts. I'm running the latest version of GBPVR and when looking at the TV Guide both on my MVP and via the web tool, I see "gaps" in programming. They show up as blank blue boxes where programs would normally appear. For example, tonight on channel 2, there are no shows between 8:00 PM and 9:00?

In other cases entire channels, while listed in the left most column, are completely blank, but show up under channel number I don't really get. For example, my Comedy Central is on 60, but while it says 60 Comedy where I would expect it to, there are no shows. Instead it shows up on channel 104 labeled "60 COMEDYP
