Hey all. I just setup a brand-new box and loaded GB-PVR. Everything works fine except I get a "Object reference not set..." when trying to watch live TV. I have not messed with any of the config really except loading my PVR 250 into the list and setting up Zap2IT. Please help


Software:

• Windows XP Pro

• .Net 1.1

• SP2

• GB-PVR v. 9413

• P4 2.8

• 512mb RAM

• 250GB HDD

• PVR-250

• TNT2 video card

I bought a new computer with a DVD burner, but it didn't come with any software for burning.

Anyone recommend some free or inexpensive software? I know Nero is probably the most popular, but it's $79.99 and probably does way more than I need.

I mainly want to use it for data back-up, ISO image burning, and maybe DVD's of home video.

Thanks.

After some problems with hardware I have compleately reinstalled my PC.
GBPVR works fine now, but the sound is funny. It's like a bathroom.
I have installed FFDshow as audio and video decoder. Can that be the reason?

Hi,

usualy the OFDB lookup works fine, only if there is an umlaut un the title, there are no results. If i only search for the part of the title (without umlauts), the result are shown with umlauts. It seems like the search request can't handle these chars.

Is there any workaround ?

Hi,

when watching live-tv, and the end time of the current show has passed, normally a new live-tv file should be created.
In the logfile of the recording service, this can also be seen:

I think I've found a couple of annoying bugs in GBPVR v0.95.14:-

I use the Hauppauge 45-button remote that came with my Nova-T with GBPVR and over the last few days have been experiencing a really annoying bug. Often, pressing "OK" causes the cursor to jump UP before the OK has effect. Switching off "direct access to Hauppauge remote" in config seems to have reduced the problem somewhat, but it is still definately there

What really makes this a total hassle is the fact that there is no delete confirmation in the Recordings plugin. So I go to watch a show I've recorded, press OK and then the damn remote jumps UP and deletes what I was going to watch. This really is incredible frustrating - there doesn't appear to be confirmation dialog (or is that just my custom skin I wonder?)

The other bug is that quite often GBPVR crashes immediately after the delete with an error message that I can't unfortunately read on my TV. What seems to happen is that the deleted recording and its folder doesn't disappear from GBPVR until you exit and restart.

HTH

Hi I am interested in how you have set up your player and how it works?

Do you have the same interface as on the server?
or do you use explorer or webinterface?
are the recordings made on the server or on the player and saved to the servers harddisk?

is the celeron fast enough?

Any specific problems when fitting in a VCR-box?

think you guys will be supporting this card anything in the near future?

just curious

/edit crap i mean the 2000xp

Wow, this one is kicking my butt...

I want to be able to play and record my DVDs to HD and then copy them back to DVD. Am I on the right track?

Here's the status:

My Videos v4.1.0.10 - done
MyDatabase.mdb - done
DVDDecrypter - done
dvdauthor - could not find a windows version at the site given - finally found some GUI version () and it installed OK but I don't think this is a command line console app as expected. Should I copy all the files into the same directory with the rest of these files?
dvddecrypter - done
PVAStrumento - done (just cpvas.exe)
mkisofs - found cdrtools-latest.zip here: http://smithii.com/?q=blog&from=20 - Should I copy all these files into the same directory with the rest of these files?

And I haven't even gotten to configuring batch files, etc?

Is there some other way to just copy DVDs? I really don't care about VODs, ISOs, yada, yada...

Hi,
This isn't a problem with GBPVR (so is not in the support forum) but I wondered if someone would be kind enough to give me some advice.

I have a number of bits of video software on my PC. I can play back video on GBPVR no problem at all. The problem occurs when I try to use the Pinnacle Media Manager preview screen or resize a video file using Pocket DVD so I can put it on my PDA. In both cases, I get about 10 seconds of playback before it completely freezes the PC and I have to pull the plug. Neither of these two bits of software are related in any way but they both show the same symptoms.

I really don't know what to do next. I'm tempted to rebuild the PC from scratch but just wondered if there was anyway I could tell what this software was 'doing' when it crashed. You would have thought that it would crash before the video started playback, not 10 seconds later when everything has been loaded successfully.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Stuart.
