I scheduled a recording to run from 7:00am-7:30am using the gbpvr TV Guide, with 2 minutes of padding at the beginning and end. However, when it was done, the recording was only 10:51 in length. Here is an excerpt of the GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log:

It looks to me as if the log shows that the recording was successful, even though it wasn't.
There was plenty of free space on the drive (over 18 gigs).
My computer's clock is and was correct. I checked the log from my clock synchronising program, and it shows a correction of .939 seconds about 20 minutes before the recording started.


Can anybody think of a reason why this recording came-up short? If I need to post any more log entries, let me know.

I was using gbpvr v0.95.11. I just now found out about the update to v0.95.14.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABIT KT-7A RAID
AMD Athlon, 1.2Ghz
512MB PC133 SDRAM
ATI All-in-wonder 128 PCI(using as display only, the on-board capture disabled in device manager)
Hauppauge Win-TV USB2
VIA USB2 PCI Adapter
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2

From time to time the cable provider shifts the programs a little. Channels switch places or new ones get added. Every time I spend 1-2 hours to fix GB-pvr's tuning. With the tuning assistant already able to tune in to stations, why not have it generate the channel list for GB-pvr as well?

The internal channel numbers of GB-pvr often doesn't correspond with the cable providers channels so why not supply the frequencies for easy reference? or even better allow entering the frequency instead of the channel number.

Thanks for considering this

I have never used GB-PVR volume (using the TV, amplifier etc.) but somehow the GB-PVR volume was turned to 0 last night. Because there was no indicator showing this (a loudspeaker with a line through it) I couldn't figure out what was wrong, and as the volume up was broken in 95.11 I was kind of stuck. It's a small thing that would make the program a little more user friendly.
Alternatively make it an option to disable GB-PVR volume control.

After the pc is resumend for a recording (or manual resumed for viewing a recorded recording), the TV out is not working on my Hauppauge PVR350. All I see is a testscreen (colored stripes). I have to end the GBPRV program and restart it (something that is hard to do if you don't have a screen attached to the pc and can't see what you're doing with the remote, cause all I see is the test screen). There is no difference between resuming from hibernation or suspend mode. Both are not working fine.
Does anyone have a idea what is causing this? And how to fix it?

Hi Decided to make a seperate tread about this...

Sub: After upgrading to the newest version I get this error again and again...what is this about and how can I fix this?



I Guess I am not the only one with this problem http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ield+small

I am using o2grabber same as always...it worked before the upgrade now it dosent...

Just started a defrag. Went for 5 mins and an error came up. Restarted and disc corrupted! 60GB of films and regordings gone. Brand new Samsung 200 GB disk. :mad: Windows reports the disk a RAW 0 bytes.

Strange thing, If I try and start GCPVR It does a short intall, (gatering information etc) I have seprate disc for media and system.

I wish that when no recordings are scheduled, there would be a blank Recording Soon display.

I wish the NextRecording.xml panel text supported alignment.

No matter what is spec'd, the text is always left justified.

Here's a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.

I use comskip to remove the ads on programs. So I don't know if that if part of the problem. But on a recent recording event though there were no black bars to indicate a skipped portion at the end of a recording, after the last ad break there is still some program left, but GBPVR just skips to the end and exits the recording.

This would be ok, if i could go back and view it. But after navigating all the way to the end, past that last ad break, you still can't watch the recording, you watch for about 30 seconds, then it skips to the end....the wife almost clobbered me for it!!!

I finally had to remote control to the machine and view it in something else to see the last couple of minutes.

Any ideas???


I'm on the new 95.14, but i don't think it's a new problem.
