I have just installed the weather plugin, installation seems to go OK, I set the area code from the web site, and the weather plugin appears on the gui screen main menu OK.
However when I select it I just get a message stuck saying its downloading the forcast from the internet, but I can't see any traffic going through my router.

The gbpvr server connects to the internet through a squid proxy server on my linux machine ( port 3128 ). Internet explorer works fine and so does the epg service, but they both have connection settings to use a proxy.

There is nowhere in the weather config settings to say to use a proxy
Does weather just assume its directly connected via port 80 ? or is this something else. Anybody else had similar problems?

Regards

Sorry about the dumb question guys but I tried to use GPPVR to view an Xvid video file of Andromeda. When I press play it just sits there and does nothing. I know the file is ok as I can open it in tcpmp ( The Core Pocket Media Player ).. what am I doing wrong ?

Cheers:confused:

Hi, I would just like to start with saying WOW!!!!!!
What a PVR and what a forum.

I've tried numerous PVR software, I also have a dbox and a dreambox where I have been trying to find just the right software or product, that has the feature I'm looking for. Now I have found it, well almost.

I have a budget techno trend DVB-C card that I can use with software like MyTheatre, RitzDVB, ProgDVB etc. Now I don't have a driver as such, these products support DVBCore and dvbcore has a graph system for configuring cards without drivers.

Any chance support for DVBCore could be added to GBPVR in the future? This means a whole host of DVB cards will start working with GBPVR.

Anyway, great product, great plugins and great support. Keep up the good work.

Cheers

My first post and I'm sorry it's for help, but you guy's look like the people to ask.

For weeks now I have been trying in vain to get the Win2000 program to work with my PVR150mce and my Sky box, but have had no joy with it.
Yesterday I found GBPVR and though it looks much better I still can't get it to work, but I think it's something that I am doing wrong.
This is how I have the Sky box connected;

Scart from STB into an RF modulator, then into the 150 via the aerial input socket using a bog standard RF lead.

I expect my configuration settings to be wrong, but I have tried it all ways!
This is how they are at the moment;

Recording source: Direct recording plugin

PVR150mce (found by the program itself)

UK

Board No.1

Source: I really don't know what it should be, should it be fixed because of the signal coming from the Sky box via the modulator which is on channel 36 or 38 into the aerial socket on the card? according to the modulator instructions I should see the white vertical test bar when the signal is found, but nothing has shown yet.

Tuning: ?????

If anyone can help I'd be really grateful
Cheers

As the release thread is closed. I would like to thank here Sub as new maintenance release supports also UNC paths in System menu and it shows pie as it should.

Ok, this has been discussed in the past, I know, but still...

Do I generally need more horsepower on my gbpvr box in order to watch stuff on an MVP than if I just use software decoding and use tv-out on my graphics card, or is it the other way around?

I'm thinking about getting an MVP to get better picture quality, but don't want to get it and then realize that stuff works worse than it does today

I also assume my computer will not be good/fast enough to show divx/xvid on an MVP ...

Please Please....I was wondering if you were thinking about adding the ability to adjust the audio bitrate for the (Sapphire) Theatrix chipset cards?
Thanks

Not really important for music but if I'm listening to a 'spoken word' recording, it would be nice to FF/RW.

I was listening to a radio play I recorded, paused it to go do something then accidentally hit Stop instead of Play when I came back - I had to listen to the 20 minutes of the play I'd already heard in order to get back to where I was. It would be useful if I could just FF or similar.

Cheers,

I'm relatively new to gbpvr. I've tried to comb through the forums and the wiki before I asked this.

I think I'm interpreting the documentation correctly to say that with certain skins I should be able to see a small video inset on the tv guide screen that is a live preview of whatever show is selected in the guide. I have tried the Blue, H-MVP and Contour skins, but I never see the inset. Can someone tell me if I'm wrong or how to configure this if I'm right?

Thanks! This is a great product and great community!

When I'm watching video, whenever I try to fast forward (Ctrl-P, Ctrl->), GBPVR freezes up. (Goes Not Responding in Task Manager)

It's video that it had recorded a short while before.. Is there any way to fix this?
