I had to delete and re-add my capture source in the GBPVR config. Now the Ready list is empty in XRecord. Is there a way to update this list so that my previously recorded shows appear? Thanks.
After much research I have came up the final BOM for my GB-PVR machine. I would appreciate any critiquesâ¦did I miss something, or have incompatible components?
Main Board: Gigbyte GAK8NF-9
Plan on using on board 7.1 Audio with the included S/PDIF coax out
Main HDD: 80GB Barracuda 7200.7 SATA drive (for OS and Live TV Buffer)
Storage HDD: 300GB Barracuda 7200.8 SATA drive for video storage
DVD drive: Sony DVD +/- RW
Hauppauge PVR 150 & PVR-150MCE tuners
The one question I have on the above guts is the video card. I have a 54 inch Mitsubishi RP HDTV with 1 DTV input (480p/I & 1080i) & 2 component (480p / 480i) inputs. Currently I use the DTV for the Comcast HDTV box and one of the Components for the DVD player. I really donât want to hook the HTPC up with S-video. Some sites claim the eVGA card does output Component. I havenât been able to confirm how one hooks it up as I donât have a DVI connector on the Mitsubishi.
For the case & power supply I am torn between the following:
Uneed X15e with integrated LCD touchscreen (SWEEET!)
Silverstone SST-400 400 watt
Case & PSU: $647.00
Or
Ahanix MCE 601
Athena 450W MAXT with adaptor plate
Case & PSU: $280.00
Anyone have experience to help me decide? The 367 bucks isnât a deal breaker, just not sure itâs functionally worth it.
Thanks All!

I was dubbing a 2 part episode of star trek from vhs. it split the movie into 2 files? I started playing one and the other disappeared. Why did it not record the whole movie to one file. Its not drive space there is tons of room available (100gb). Is there some way to fix this? any suggestions?
I have installed all the MyVideos and MyDVD utils to burn shows to DVD and went thru the forum looking for various solutions. Here's the problem, I select the shows in MyDVD and start the burn process. Gets past step 1 then hangs on step 2 (the DVDAuthoring part). I ran the convert.bat file thru DOS and get an error about demux.ajb not existing which in my D:\Temp dir there is no file, just temp.xml. When reading the guide it says I can demux files if I burn many shows but for now I am experimenting. I tried running demux commands at DOS as described in the forum:
demux.exe -a demux_queue.txt d:\video\reba\reba.mpg (this part works)
demux.exe -d demux_queue.txt (get a common language runtime debugging service window and error in dos about it being out of bounds of array)
Is demux required before running convert.bat? What am I missing? Thanks!

I am having a wierd issues that I've seen alluded to in some posts, but never diagnosed (that I could find). I got an MVP this weekend and was having connection issues without the Hauppauge software installed. I have a DHCP server, and the MVP was acquiring an IP address (from DHCP logs). I installed the Hauppauge software and everything worked. I disabled the Hauppauge services, added the MVP Server shortcut to my startup and rebooted. Everything seemed to come up fine but I noticed that "My Music" was missing and I was unable to browse to network directories through "Video Library". I noticed two GBPVR.EXEs running, so I chose to "Stop PVR Recording Service" from GBPVR Start Menu. All of a sudden My Music showed up as did my ability to browse networks. I rebooted and the same thing happened over again. Is there something I should be doing differently? Does anyone else experience this?
Hi All - Thanks for your help in getting my new MVP connected yesterday.
I'm connected to the server, have access to all menues, can see the existing catalog of recordings, I can even browse the guide and schedule new recordings...
BUT, I can't see video of any kind - no previous recording, no live TV, etc.
Set-up: Lastest GBPVR software (which is working fine & playing video on the computer monitor). MVP was plugged in and NO Hauppauge software was installed.
I've read that I installing the Hauppauge MVP software will install some stuff that's needed by the MVP, BUT I've also read that none of the Hauppauge software is needed. I do have the latest decoder files off the Hauppauge support site which I used to the the computer-only video to play.
Hi,
Have been running GBPVR version 92.11 very successfully for some time. However, a power supply blow up, meant hard disk corruption, and I've had to reinstall everything. We also took the opportunity to upgrade the sound card.
I've now installed version 94.13, and when GBPVR is running (not just the Recording Service) it does something every 5-7 seconds which takes up to 50% of the processor power.
When running Windows Media Player at the same time, this causes a huge stutter and distortion in the music. You don't necessarily notice what's it's doing to other programs, but I'm sure it never used to do this.
Can you tell us what GBPVR is doing (nothing gets written to the logs) and confirm that it is more recent that 92.11.
I still have the msi for 92.11 and am thinking of reverting back to it, to make sure there's no conflicts with the new sound card.
Cheers.
Hello all. is there anyway to disable the GB-PVR screensaver when looking at a slideshow? I've tried both My Pictures and Picture Library, the screensaver kicks in at the default time. I could just disable the saver in config.exe, but I like it to work when listening to net raio my music files. Any help would be very appreciated.....
