First let me say I love GBPVR... I've looked at the others, I just don't like the way they look or work.
Anyway, I installed 09608 in hopes to resolve my mysterious EPG corruption that seems to happen about once a month. It still happens only now I get an error - "Failure in ChannelFactory:toreChannels():Invalid argument.". This started this morning and so I did my usual delete the EPG sources, reboot, and try to add them back. Same error. As soon as it starts "Parsing the Zap2it listings". I can't add any capture sources at this point. Also, I notice the Happauge IR blaster isn't a choice anymore, is that really gone?
P4 2.8 HT i865 chipset
512M RAM
2 - 160GB HDD's, one for OS one for recording
PVR-150
RealMagic XCard
What would be the best method to completely get rid of app program data and start fresh? For some reason, my guide is showing weird things like the Tonight Show on at 8:30:confused:
A nice thing to have would be the ability to have more than one sound card and be able to play different tunes out of each sound card at the same time.
So basically you could have multi room sound.
Next step would be to be able to control each room form that room via remote.
I'm just getting to grips with GB-PVR, but I have 2 problems remaining :
1) Having gone down the XMLTV route, I have everything as I want it except for BBC3 and 4. I've read the various threads on this and tried the following :
djtaylor Wrote:if you scanned during the day you map as follows:-
having done that, CBBC / CBEEBIES are OK during the day. BBC3 / BBC4 are audio-only in the evening.
Can I fix this or should I just do a rescan this evening?
Which leads me to my other problem....
2. Since upgrading to the latest release yesterday, the program crashes at the end of a scan (on Mux 6 of 6). I get the generic Windows "Config.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" box. The click here link leads me to the following:
i've changed a couple of things. first of all there is appearance-manager support now. it comes with different backgrounds, buttons and main menu-styles. i want to add more plugin-styles in the near future.
please don't use the background-feature. use main menu background. somehow, the plugin-background-feature defaults to the color-folder....have to investigate a bit.
i have added the new channel-name-tag in the recordings-screen.
i would like to skin more plugins, but either they don't support 800x600 or they cannot be skinned totally....so this is a silent call to the plugin-developers....please please please add a bit more skinning and support for higher resolutions!
I'm using gbpvr for a while now, I've recently upgraded form the previous version to the latest one. I have a lot of problems with recordings scheduled every week. After a few weeks they disappear from the Pending list. Though they are still in the Reoccurring list. Sometimes I can recover them by making a new entry dated later than the missing entries. They suddenly reappear!!! If this doesn't work, I remove them from the Reoccurring list. This is also not without problems. If I not after removing, close GBPVR and restart the service (Not sure if this is necessary). I get Conflicts with the removed entries though they are removed. I hope someone can help me out on this one. I do not use any EPG. I live in Belgium, I'm sure if it even exists over here.
I have a spare box that I was thinking of turning into a media center using GBPVR.
I'm considering using the PVR 350 card since it has an s-video out, as well as mpeg-2 decoding to keep from killing the cpu.
Some questions about the card and GBPVR:
1) Is is supported?
2) Is the playback quality good through the s-video output?
3) Will the remote for the pvr control the functionality of GBPVR?
