I obtained a new 160 GB drive and I am about to format it in NTFS for GBPVR recordings and DVD storage. What is the ideal cluster size for such setup? It will be a master drive on a secondary IDE controler. Thanks.

I am Using gbpvr version 0.95.11 with all recording via a Hauppauge PVR 250 through composite video input and video source a cable box controlled by a USB-UIRT.

Mosts functions work fine but I have one strange behaviour. I an watching say channel 85 on the cable. I decide that I want to record this so switch over to gbpvr and select Live TV ( I have the LiveTV setting to not be in real time - that is when Live TV is selected, gbpvr records the source and plays back the recorded version although the problem works in either setting of LiveTV.). For some strange reason as soon as LiveTV starts, gbpvr sends IR codes to the USB-UIRT to switch the cable box to channel 2(as in the programme guide), displays on the screen the description for the programme currently playing on channel 2 and uses the programme name as the basis for the filename. I always have to use my remote to change the channel back to the one I was originally watching and wanted to record.

I have looked at all the possible config settings and can't see anything that would affect this. Anybody with any ideas or have experienced this strange behaviour?

Thanks

This is no big deal, but I didn't notice it the first few days I was trying out GBPVR. There's a little black window on my PC that says "This process acts as a server for Hauppauge MediaMVP. Closing this window will shut down GB-PVR on the MediaMVP. Was this always there and I just didn't notice or did I change something in my Config to make it appear?

I am just learning to use My Music; its installed and the lists work OK, but I am trying to get the "automatic thumbnails" to work like in My Videos. Its doesnt seem to work quite the same way.

Will it "automatically" go off and find the right thumbnails?

I put a .jpg file in one of the album folders, but all it did was display that .jpg. Plus I have alot of album folders......doesnt seem to make sense.

Anyone have some quick pointers? Thanks

I just installed the My Pictures plugin, but it doesn't come up on the main menu. I configured the settings and its in the plugin folder.....I also use My Videos and My Music and they show up OK.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Anyone know why i'm having this problem. Whenever there is a dark (i.e. pretty much blacked out) scene or frame while watching a DVD, my TV 'blacks out' or kind of turns off. It's as if the connection between the computer and the TV is lost, and then is restored the moment there is light. I don't lose audio. It's as if it's having difficult time rendering black scenes.

Is this a video card issue? DVD Decoder issue? Settings issue?

I just started using the Theater Listings plugin and getallmovies. Great work on both. However, I'm getting the following error in GetAllMovies:

It then aborts.

I have a problem when playing all mp3s in one album. (This also happens playing single tracks too)

If I want to stop playing a track, MVP crashes with a message "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

It pops up with an OK button, but the whole thing freezes and I have to reset MVP Server. I'm using GB-PVR 0.95.16

The error log shows the problem:

result=0x0 : System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Can anything be done about this?

Got something odd happening. I'm missing sound on channels from 41 to 51 both on live and recoreded tv. It's a gbpvr thing as sound is ok if I go into the wintv 2000. There is no sound live and just static recorded.

I've loaded the latest Haup pvr-150 driver and the haup mpeg converters. I've just started building this so I'm taking it one step at a time to make things get installed correctly before moving on so I don't have it running to mediamvp yet. No plug ins installed everything is still inital setup, looks like everything else works correctly.

I'm attaching a zip with the different logs and dxdiag. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open. Thanks

I wonder if it is possilbe to make the rss feed follow the links. I'v been looking into the xml sources of some rss feeds and it seems the rss plugin only displays the tags <title> and <description>. If you follow the url mentioned in the tag <link>, usually a longer article is described. Is there some way to also display this text?
