Yesterday evening, we were watching a recorded show, and after finishing, we looked and all of the pending recording were shown as failed. The TV Guide was blank as well. I went out to the config program and updated the EPG (zap2it-USA). The TV Guide was still blank. I rebooted and updated again, and upcoming recording are being shown again (although the first one is now 11/8, which isn't correct). The TV guide is still blank, and further EPG updates and reboots don't seem to fix anything any further.
Any thoughts on how would I get my guide back and get the scheduled recordings to work for the next few days?
There seem to be a lot of different batch files that are used - I was wondering if there was any one place where they were all documented. The ones I know about are
PostProcessing.bat - run after recording finishes, if present automatic transcoding will not run. Will automatic comskip not run if present?
PostUpdateEpg.bat - run after EPG updated
UpdateEpg.bat? - used to update UPG data?
PostConvert.bat? Run after automatic conversion complete?
PreProcessing.bat? used by PvrPowerTray?
Transcoding.bat? Used to transcode divx for streaming to MVP?
I've hunted around to try to find out which batch files can be used for what, but hunting through the forums is tough when you don't know what to look for, and I couldn't find much on the wiki.
I'm sure I've read about something similar on here but I'm having a problem when I plugin my VCR to the composite input on my ATI 550 pro.
I've setup a manual channel for it as said in a PS2 thread I found.
The rub is it shows the video for a couple seconds (in full colour) perfectly fine and then seems to loose it and then just show multi-coloured static. Changing to another channel and then changing back to the vcr the samething happens (good for 2 secs and then gone)
I't would be nice to be able to schedule the recording of a radio program.

I have a Twinhan DVB-S Sat-Ci card with a Conax CAM and a subscription card from Canal Digital.
I've experimented with the External recorder, and now it's possible to at least _record_ the scrambled channels from within GB-PVR. Horray!
First I configure MyTheatre, which supports my DVB-S card and CAM. It has builtin support for streaming(called Remote View). I set that up to stream to localhost, 127.0.0.1. Thus I can see the channles in VLC. I then use external recorder to start vlc and and dump the content of the stream to the file that GB-PVR wants.
It will also work to watch live tv through vlc although the window is started from GBPVR, it not so easy to change channel(or wathc it in MVP). Have anyone got ideas how to get "live tv" to work in GBPVR with the external recorder?
Has anyone tried one of this in a PVR. It looks very tempting with onboard DVI connector. But is the graphics engine good enough for gbpvr and dvd playback. Would it be possible to do some scaling of the picture with ffdshow and this hardware.
Hope someone has some experience to share with this newbie.
