I used the TV Guide app in GBPVR to schedule a recording of Futurama from The Cartoon Network yesterday. When I watched it today, it was an episode of The Family Guy, which ran one-half hour after Futurama. The file name indicated that it was Futurama, and when I ran the RenameRecording app, it changed the name to the title of the Futurama episode that was supposed to run, but it wasn't the right show.
I am using GBPVR version 96.12, and the clock on my PC is correct. The GBPVRRecordingService.exe-1.log indicates that the recording started at 11:29PM, even though it should have started at 10:59PM. I'm sure that the TV Guide app showed the correct time in the listings when I scheduled the recording. Strangely enough, I accessed the TV Guide using the web admin interface today, and set it to show the listings from last night, and it had the 11pm and 11:30pm shows reversed!
I have Windows XP Home Edition/SP2, and want to use GBPVR to record two TV shows at the same time. I'll strictly be recording, and won't be watching live TV. So I don't need a remote.
I do listen to FM radio on my PC a lot, so that's important to me (though I can keep my current tuner card just for radio if needed).
Anyway, I'm trying to decide whether to get a PVR-500MCE or two PVR-150MCE's.
Obviously, I like the idea of only using a single PCI slot for the TV tuners, but I'm curious what other advantages/disadvantages the PVR-500 has over the PVR-150's?
Which work best with GBPVR?
How does the picture quality compare between the two cards?
I had InterVideo software that came with my computer, I never liked it much to begin with. It got really buggy and then quit working all together (seemed to be software related). My question is this, I have an ASUS (TV)7133 video card, and gbpvr can't find it. It is there and it is working properly, but I can't seem to point gbpvr to it! I feel like I have tried everything, and I can't seem to find any info on that spacific card here on these forums. The one post that mentions it is extremely vague.
Does anyone have any advice? Is this vid card gonna work for me?
Thanks in advance!

I apoligize if this has been brought up but I did a search and couldn't find anything about this.
I am using the latest gbpvr software with MediaMVP. I ripped a DVD and converted it to mpeg format. It plays great on the PC with sound but when I try it through the media MVP the picture is great but no sound. recorded shows work fine and have sound but just the ripped and converted DVDs have no sound.
Anyone else have this problem? am I doing something wrong?
I used dvd decrypter to decode and vob2mpg as the conversion tool.
Hi Trying to get the Leadket DTV1000T to work with a SVIDEO input.
Works fine from the WINTFASTDTV app supplied when you select the SVIDEO input.
Have been playing with Graphedit trying to find the correct pins for the direct.ini file. So far have the below.
Anyone know what I am missing?
When I select the channel using the direct recording plugin set to svideo I just get a black screen?

I have been using bleb as a tv guide source for my 2 PVR-250s for quite some time now. But i am planning to install 3 new nova-t cards into my PVR machine and bleb doesn't seem to provide listings for all the channels i need.
So, with this upgrade in mind i have been running an XMLTV grabber in parallel, but not as an epg source in gbpvr. I just have it set up as a scheduled task and am manually checking it for consistency, and how far in advance it goes.
I knocked up a little utility in winforms & c# to load up the xml file into a table so that i can run queries on.
I have noticed that the listings differ. One show in particular is a documentary on five (uk) on the 17th of march at 21:00. XMLTV says it's about the apollo moon landings and bleb says it's about the roswell alien autopsy.
Has anyone else noticed any other discrepencies, or maybe you've recorded something only to end up watching a different programme altogether.
I dont know if this is a support or plugin matter, but im guessing im doing something wrong, so i place it here.
I got a Huappauge PVR 500 MCE and when i first scanned the channels for both tuners, i called them the same.
Later i saw when i was testing to record two shows, it told me that there was no free tuner available to do the recording. Im my stupidity, i cleaned out all the scannings and reentered them as eg. 1_CH2, 1_CH3 resp, 2_CH2, 2_CH3 etc. just to let me see the difference between the turners.
when i tested the recording, i KNEW that i did not take the same tuner for the second recording, but i still got the error. After the change it all worked fine.
so i wonder if GBPVR seems to think that the tuners channels with the same name is the same tuner(hope you get my point)
anyways... now to the XMLTV stuff.
i added this cool little feature and ended up with another set of "channels" when looking in the "manual recording" list. These has the icons for the channels, but no channel was tuned for it. This made me think that i saw something about that the channelname MUST be the same as the XMLTV-channelname, and thereby "installing" the problem by recording two shows again.
Is there something wrong, or is it me.... again :p
I don't have logs, I'm at work right now, but I was hoping maybe somebody could help...
Everything works with GBPVR on my computer, live TV, mp3, mpg, avi, etc.
Everything work on the MVP, except live TV. It plays for about .5 seconds, video and audio, then goes to a black screen. The show is still recording back on my computer... but the MVP crashes.
I can play video on the MVP with no problems. I can even restart the MVP and play the live TV show that was recording. I just can't watch live TV for some reason.
Is this a symptom of a MediaMVP process that is not stopped? What else could be the problem... like I said, I have full functionality except for live TV, including scheduling recordings in the guide, music, and video playback.
Thanks, I can post logs when I get home tonight if needed...
