My PC probably doesn't have the horsepower to transcode an AVI on the fly, but a long time ago I tried and got some errors and gave up. I thought I'd give it a whirl again with the latest gbpvr (actually, the 15 build). Tried to play an AVI on the MPV and a dialog popped up on the PC screen complaining that xvidcore.dll could not be found in the path.

Should this file have been included in the new ffdshow directory? Does gbpvr require that I have something else installed?

So, I went ahead and found a copy of xvidcore.dll on the net and put it into the ffdshow directory. Tried to watch the AVI file again, this time no error, MVP eventually disconnects. I check the gbpvr directory for some kind of transcode error log file or something... there's nothing. What should I be looking for?

Now gbpvr won't open on my computer. I find it in the processes. I shut the computer down to try with a fresh boot and I get the message the gbpvr failed to initialize due to the shut down process. But gbpvr's had plenty of time to initialize. I'm using 95.11. I added the MVP position plugin just prior, but that is the only change. Help...

Just to let the users of Cuttermaran know that a new version was release today (v1.66). The link to Cuttermaran site is

I have installed and used it without issues (at least none I have found yet!)

Hope this helps someone, since I really like cuttermaran.

hi there. thanks in advance 4 your help. my pc just randomly started to lock up roughly 30-60secs. after boot-up. I have narrowed it down to the EPG updater. Basically whenever i update or the system auto-updates the pc locks up good'ole windows 95 style. I gave version 94.13 and that update fixed my previous problem of not receiving and channels after a EPG update. ANY ideas???

thanks again

When "InterVideo Navigator" is used for DVD Player Navigator in the config using InterVideo Xpack DVD Decoder for Windows Media Player. The system will not play the DVD complaining about "Parental Controls." This just started happening in the last couple of releases. Changing the DVD navigator back to the default "DVD Navigator" fixes the issue. (temporary work around) I don't know if any issues may popup using "DVD Navigator" with "InterVideo DVD Decoders"

Hey been trying out the dvd2mpeg part of VA and I have 2 partitions. One that has the OS and GBPVR and the other is Strickly for shows. The dvd2mpeg tab in the VA config screen lets me set up a directory for temp files and finished movies, but when I access it through the Menu item it only lets me choose a place for these on the first partition(like temp folder or My Documents)? Is there a workaround for this?

Planning to get Slingbox, it's a device that placeshifts video. It supports TIVO now. Am wondering if GBPVR can support this as well.

i have a little problem with the common gbpvr utilities i use: how can i supply the package with the installation without overwriting something on the target system? is this an installer thing?

enjoy!

While trying to start Live TV, I get the following message, and Live TV doesn't start.

"No Connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it".

Rebooting didn't help. Should I reinstall GBPVR? I have ver. 0.94.13 running under Win XP, SP2.

Just wondering which of these 2 remotes would work the best with gbpvr. Side note: I will need to controll 2 STB's and need an RF solution.
Side note#2: which hardware do you recommend to blast the IR signals to the stb's. (anything out there other than the usb-uirt?)
thanks.
