Guys, thanks for a really first rate forum. Thanks to the info here I've read and browsed my way through many problems and have my NOVA-T and MVP with gbpvr recording and playing back a dream. Credit to Sub and all contributers....

And so on to my problem. I have installed the Video Archive plugin and have it showing on the menu when I view the PC. When I fire up the MVP its not there?? The DVD Ripper and DVDtoMpeg features are however. It may be something really simple in the config but I can't pin it down. When I view the "Video" button from the pc menu, recordings are listed by date and not by name?? I can't find anything via the search about these problems and they have me stumped. Ive done lots of rebooting - unplugging etc. still no "video" button on the MVP menu??? Hope this is the right forum if it needs to be under plugins please move it over.

Hi,

I have just bought the above card and have naturally ditched the included software for this impressive software...

Unfortunatly I am having problems watching live tv..

I have disabled Enable Live Preview mode, but when I try to view the live stream the screen says

"Starting timeshift mode TV"

it then bombs out and displays -

"No tuners available to watch the selected channel. You can choose to watch one of the currently recorded programmes"

Thanks in advance for your support :confused:

Hello,

I currently have whole-house IR dirstribution using Xantech IR (12 volt). I would like to interface my GB-PVR box to this system. I could certainly go the route of an IR Blaster and IR Receiver on the PC, but it would be nicer to intergrate directly with the Xantech system. A quick search on the web didn't turn anything up, so I thought I would ask here. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

Many thanks!

I created a zap2it account, entered my name and password correctly. When I click update EPG it tells me

Your EPG source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG source settings and try again.

The card I have is WinTV-PVR-500MCE. I have had problems with this card since I tried installing it a few days ago. My computer automatically installed the drivers for it and when I tried running the setup file to install the program it said cannot find hcwpnp32.dll. So, I am not even sure if this card is completely installed. Do I need to install the program that came with the card?

What should I do?

Just realized that it is the Music Player that eats all my CPU. The GBPVR.exe started by the SYSTEM uses about 30-40% CPU whithout me even starting GBPVR.exe gui. The GUI then eats another 35%...

Perhaps this is due to some database build-up, but in that case it's taking weeks, because thats how long I had this problem before. I then removed all plugins and all was well. Today I installed it again and Boom there went the CPU meter...

Any tweaking possible?

Now in support forum.########

Hello all.

I now use my gbpvr to record shows and then convert them to mp4 to playback on my ipod. I run comskip and comclean then move the file to my default conversion folder. I get this all to work (then videora runs automatically and converts to mp4 ready to transfer to my ipod).

BUT, I would like the recordings to be named with the show name as well as the episode name.
Currenlty I get a name like this: Seinfeld_20051123_23300000.mpg

I would like it to appear like this: Seinfeld - The Blood.mpg

I have tried renamerecording and this, as far I as I am able to figure out, will rename the show to the episode only, so The Blood.mpg.

After renamerecording I obviously I lose the file (since %1 no longer works) and I don't know how to automatically cut and move the file to my default conversion directory. How can I also find the name of the recently renamed file and then move it?

Any help?

Here is my postproceessing.bat

comskip %1
call comclean %1
del "%~dpn1.log"
del "%~dpn1.txt"
del "%~dpn1.logo.txt"
del "%~dpn1_original.mpg"
RenameRecording %1 > RenameRecording.log
move %1 F:\Media\Video\Videora\Downloads



FYI.......the Videora\Downloads location runs Videora and converts anything dumped there to mp4 for the ipod.

Thanks!

Have the Music Album Plugin been updated to allow editing of the queue list?
(It states on the wiki that "The select button will bring you to an unimplemented feature that will allow you to edit the queue."

Or is it some other plugin I should be using? I want to add and delete tracks to the playlist/queue of titles that I'm currently listening to.

Maybe this is already possible in a plugin but I thought I would mention it.

A friend uses MythTv and he said he entered a WishList of the top 100 movies of all time. If they are ever on, they will be recorded. Not sure if he entered them via the gui or a flat file (xml most likely).

I assume the name would have to be wildcarded, just in case the name in the guide is slightly different.

I haven't checked out XGuide/XRecord, does it support this type of feature?

I am looking at buying a HDTV (not till after Christmas when the prices should fall haha). But I am doing some research on em now.

I was just wondering about how I can get HDTV signals to my GBPVR then to my HDTV without losing quality.

I know there are HDTV tuners out there. But I have 3 regular NTSC tuners right now and use my video card (fx 5200) tv out (svideo). If I add the HDTV tuner, I will still be able to use the other tuners, right? Are you able to change the inputs in GBPVR? Say I am watching Tuner 1 (non hdtv) and I goto a change that is hdtv, can I switch to Tuner 2 (HDTV)?

Also about the video card - can the 5200 handle hdtv singals? It has a DVI output. Will there be some quality loss there?

Thanks

Trying to manually convert a short tv-program

Windows tells me some error (can not translate it to english) something about blablablah, and memory can not be "read"

Trying to search forum for this solution, but haven´t find answer yet :confused:
