I'm setting up two PVRs (one for a friend) both with a PVR-150 and a Nova-t 90002. The first machine worked great first time. The second machine has found both cards and the PVR-150 is working but when I search for channels in the 'map channels' area of the config for the Nova-t it finds all the channels but the preview screen shows nothing for any channel. Selecting to view from the progamme guide also shows a blank screen. Both machines are more or less identical running XP Home SP2 and I've not installed anything other than GB-PVR on either.
Having searched the forum I found out about the muxchecker but this shows no multiplexers are found on either machine, even the one that does show a preview when searching for channels so I guess this isn't the problem?
Any ideas? All help very much appreciated.
I have been noticing time when actually at the PC that the channel changing doesn't work right. I usually use a MVP for all viewing.
Say I am currently on channel 220, then hit the up arrow and it sends a 2,then 2, then 5, and successfully goes to channel 225, then I hit down, and 2,2,0 bingo, back at 220.
The problem shows up if I hit up (or down), then hit up (or down) again, WHILE IN THE MIDDLE of it sending the channel numbers.
It will then get stuck in a kind of loop and keep sending 1-2 digits of the channel number until it finally stops, then it will work OK again.
What log would this show up in? I don't think it is the channel.exe that I am using since the numbers show up on the OSD in GBPVR.
I seemed to have run into a small problem when testing 2 Maui cards. I went to the guide and started recording 3 shows. 1 for each Maui and another for the PVR150. Everything looked fine until I noticed a few things.
1. When I started recording with the second Maui card, the size of the recording mpeg file from the first Maui card stopped increasing.
2. Once the recording times for all had finished, the first Maui card did not change recording status. Even after waiting 5 more minutes, the Recording Status for Maui#1 didn't change. It still said recording.
Before I start complaining I wan't to thank sub for a great piece of software!
A little fiddly but that's the way I like it...
Since upgrading from 95.16 -> 96.08 ->96.12, I've had serious problems with the EPG. Read in another thread that sub had revised the EPG-scanning method to be faster and more efficient - which is far from the case on my system. I followed the instructions in the thread regarding increasing the scanning time to 180/240, but after more than 10 EPG-updates with a scanning time of 240 I still get only about 10% of the listings...
Don't know if this is a local problem (Finland), but as it looks now I'm either forced to revert to the 95.16-version in which the EPG worked perfectly - had about two weeks of programmes in the EPG - or then start fiddling around with xmltv-plugins. I'm not too tempted by this as it means adding yet another component to what used to be a orking system and also it seems there isn't any fully working xmltv-plugin for use in Finland...?
Sub: Any chance of reverting to the old EPG-update method? Or possibly incorporating both methods in the next release?
One more thing that in my opinion limits functionality in the newer versions is that pressing MENU when playing DVD's now takes you back to GBPVR in stead of the DVD menu. Some DVD's Iv'e tried don't seem to automatically take you to the menu when you start playback (or at least take a frustratingly long time to do so), and the new MENU-mapping gives you no way of directly accessing the DVD menu.. Or is there another mapping that I've missed?
(also, just noticed in v96.12 that video failed to initialize after listening to DVB-T radio and switching to Live-TV...minor bug )
Sorry about all the complaints, but I really enjoy the software and would hate to start looking for an alternative just due to the EPG problem!

How do I get rid of visualisations and use something like album art? Thanks
