I'm sure this has been mentioned, but...

Not all the shows that come up in the guide itself show up in the search guide function. I noticed this today. I'm watching Dirty Jobs on the Discovery channel, and thought I might like to record this sometime. Now I know I could set up some recording settings by using the guide directly, but instead I decided to use the search guide function. On my installation, this show does not show up in Search, but is displayed correctly in the guide itself. This is the first occurance of this that I have noticed. I have successfully found other shows I've wanted using this function. Perhaps when the EPG is updated daily, the search doesn't update itself accordingly one hundred percent of the time? Shows that I have already found in Search seem to update fine, new timeslots and such... Don't know what else to say about it, I guess. Just noting what seems to be a bug for the developer.

I had avi's playing fine with on both my computer and my mvp. While trying out the video archive plugin's dvd2mpg feature, I thought I'd see if I could also play an avi simultaneously to the mvp. It appeared to start, but then went directly back to the menu. I figured no big deal, not enough cpu or some other resource. Well after the dvd was done being converted I tried to play an avi on the mvp. No luck. I then tried on the computer directly. GBPVR gave me a black screen and hung up.

After lots of tinkering, I finally admitted defeat and used the installer to uninstall and reinstall GBPVR. Wow, avi's played. That was short lived. After setting the MVP server to boot automatically in the GBPVR config tool and selecting to display a few plugins that were already installed, I tried an avi on the mvp. It didn't seem to pick up the menu changes to display, but I didn't completely reboot the mvp, just the green button. Well it played about 10 seconds of avi and then went to the menu. Avi's stopped playing again.

I unistalled with the installer. Deleted all the files in devnz and rebooted the machine. I reinstalled gbpvr and now no avi's will play. I haven't even booted up the mvp yet.

Yes, avi's play fine with WMP and nero. And I have tried multiple avi's. My machine is running xp pro and is a p4 3.4Ghz, 1gb RAM, 600GB SATA raid 0 storage and 250GB eide storage.

Also, avi's play when booting up the mvp with the hauppauge software (lame compared to gbpvr!).

Any ideas. Attached is my gbpvr.exe.log file and config.xml file.

Thanks

Text on the forecast and various other parts of the plugin show up crushed, or run off the page. Any ideas what I can do to get full forecast or 'uncrush' text?

Have the Net Radio plugin and left it running for several hours. When I came back to computer, it gave me an error mesage that the system was low on diskspace. After looking around I found that the GB-PVR log file (normally hidden) was over 2.5 gb in size. (I had to delete it if I wanted computer to run at all). (C: drive is only 8gb with XP Pro fully patched, with 80gb 'storage' drive attached).

Has anyone else seen this issue?

How about a config feature in that if you delete something, it moves it to a specific other subfolder. You specify how long the retention is until GBPVR deletes the recording. Cleanup of specific recordings in the cleanup folder would be based on the timestamp of the files.

This way if I mistakenly delete a recording, it's easy to move it back.

Something in config like..


[ ] Enable delayed delete

Delayed Delete folder:
( ) Same drive as recording
( ) Copy to alternate location _________________

Delete after _______ days

I must be stupid, can someone explain how to set up the EPG so I can get the channels? Pleeasseee

What settings should I use to optimize GBPVR's performance? I remember Sub mentioning in a previous post that the drive should be formatted using certain options, but I can't seem to find that post. Could someone please enlighten me as to what settings to use when formatting the storage drive? Also would it be better to place the live TV buffer on another drive seperate from the drive where the recordings are saved? My harddrive setup is as follows:
1x 160GB IDE Maxtor drive (OS plus whatever else)
2x 300GB SATA Seagate drives in RAID 0 (Recordings)

Any suggestings are greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Sometimes you have a show start late or run long (or turn out to me 90min). It would be nice to have an edit function while it is recording, if only to add padding on the end.

I've got another minor wish that I hope would be easy to implement:
I would like the guide to keep itself at the proper time. Say I watch a two-hour show starting at 12:00. When I hit exit to get back to the guide, it's still showing 12:00 instead of 2:00. It'd be nice if it automatically moved to the current hour whenever it's called.

Hi,

I tried the gbpvr but it didn't work.
I chose the "Composite" etc. etc. etc. but it just didn't work.

Can somebody help me? What do I have to do?

Are there any other programs that work well with the plextor?

Greetings,
