That would be nice to have something while playing music. I noticed Milkdrop isn't but a Winamp plugin, but who knows? The author worked with the XBMC team to add support. Since it's already on PC, it would be less work to add as a generic plugin. Or any kind of visualization for that matter if not Milkdrop.

well its been ages since ive done anything on this, and to be honest i forgot where i was at, so im releasing the last version i worked just to see where the bugs are, and what is missing.

so be warned, this may not work at all

theres a seperate file called "MyMusicDBLoader.exe" running this will read your config.xml file (so "MyMusicDBLoader.exe" must be in your gbpvr root directory) and look at the virtual root for the music dirs you have specified. it will then go thru all those dirs and add any known music file to the database. you must do this to get it to work since its just using a database for your music now and nothing else (well audio cds work aswell, but thats it).

let me know if it works, or if it doesnt (i hope the skin still works.....)

update: bug testing moved to my forum at http://www.reven.co.nz

Hi

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, sorry if it isn't.

Anyway, been using GBPVR for a couple of weeks now and I think its great. I've been using a Hauppauge Nova-t 90002 to watch TV and that works pretty well. Today I bought another Nova-t because they were being sold half price.

So I stuck this in my computer, but now I can't figure out how to get this setup.
Upon rebooting windows I got no new hardware detection message, and looking under the hardware settings shows one card working fine. So I fiddled around trying to get 2 working in GBPVR anyway, which didn't work, but made me realise that the new card seems to be being used instead of the old one for watching live Tv / recordings.

Anyway, looking round the forums I've found a few posts about using more than 1 tuner, but havn't figured much out yet.

My question is, should 2 cards show up in windows hardware profile? If so, then what could be wrong? If not, then how do I go about setting up 2 cards in GB-PVR?

Other info which might help. I did try setting up 2 sources in GB-PVR, tried setting both as device 1, then one as 1 the other as 2. I testing by watching live tv on my computer and then trying to watch live tv on my MVP.(which brings up a message saying no tuners are available). I'm using Windows XP and both cards are Nova-T 90002.

Thanks in advance for any help.

In configuration of GBPVR under DVD Remote section, are there any suggestions on what settings work best with this remote?
Some of the buttons don't work some do. Can't rewind a recorded video and when watching dvd's many of the controls don't work.:confused:


TIA

I was woundering if the card I have will work with GBPVR?

I have a Conexants bt 878 card. w/ a Philips tuner.

I have tryed a number of setups with out success.. Any help would be greatfull.

If this card will not work, is there a suggested card to use?

I am looking at adding a DVB-S PCI card to my GBPVR setup which at present only has a PVR150. After checking out the WIKI and forums (including this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=7815&page=1 ) Where TwinHan seem to be a good recommendation and available at a very reasonable prices. However the first place I look http://www.satonline.co.uk/shop/products...94f61a0b4d has two different apparently suitable TwinHan cards available. A “TwinHan Vision DTV Sat-Express” and a “TwinHan Vision DTV Sat 1022A “ which visually look completely different but spec wise seem almost identical apart from a remote control I don’t need. Not bothered by any provided software as will be using GBPVR. I want to buy the same as other people have had good success using GBPVR with so which one are people using / recommending, if there is any difference?

The TwinHan site http://www.twinhan.com/product_satellite.asp seems at present to have the wrong info against the 1022A as it talks about a CI slot, so not helpful in comparing specs.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It isn't working on my laptop, but is on desktop. It's been a while since I wanted to use it on my laptop, so I'm not sure exactly when the problem began, but when I try to open the main program GBPVR it gives me the error message "this system does not appear to support VMR9, please try a different renderer."

The only thing I can think of that has changed on my laptop that hasn't on my desktop is that I recently did a Windows update that included .net 2.0, as opposed to the 1.1 that gbpvr requires be installed. Is that the culprit?

Thanks

Hi,
This is an amended post, based on the problem I had in thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=10502 ("Newbie help?] : Trouble with snippet of looping video?"). I hope that's ok protocol for this list

In summary, my problem is that using GB-PVR I usually have to reboot after every channel change on my TV (or at least restart the GB-PVR server, and the GB-PVR recording service icon in my system tray)

The cause seems to be a snippet of video (the final few seconds from the 'previous' channel) that loops and doesn't allow the new channel to play. It also brings up an error message on my PC (when changing channels on TV)

Any help/ pointers gratefully accepted

Cheers, Mark



The error message I consistently get now is :
=========================
"GBPVRRecordingService.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience
Error signature :
szAppName : GBPVRRecordingService.exe
szAppVer : 1.0.2093.28460
szModName : MpgMux.ax
szModVer : 5.0.0.727
offset : 00018fcc"
=========================

I use a Hauppauge MVP. I get the 2 to 3s video loop and error message however I change channel ...ie :

1. The "Ch" button, or
2. The EPG via the "Guide" button, or
3. The EPG via the "Menu" button

The 'crash' usually happens if total sequence of channels is >1 (ie. zero successful channel changes)

-----------------------------------------------
I have had a sequence of 2 channels (ie. 1 change). That happened when I let the original channel (BBC3) play for a longer period, of ~3 minutes. I successfully changed to BBC4 (seeing it on screen) and left that for a similar length of time; but the next intended change of channel (BBC1) gave the usual error message

While BBC3 played on screen, the 'BBC3'.mpg file kept growing in my video directory ...to ~112MB

While BBC4 played on screen, the 'BBC4'.mpg file kept growing. The 'BBC3'.mpg file did not change in size, and the GB icon in my system tray said that Nova-T was recording 'BBC3'

After the 2nd attempted change (and crash), there were 3 files in the directory : 'BBC3'.mpg (112,000kB); 'BBC4'.mpg (120,000kB); and 'BBC1'.mpg (0kB)

-----------------------------------------------

NOTE : I do NOT have the same problem on the PC

When I use VMR9/7 it just not show up at all.... If I use Overlay Manager then when it shows up I cannot see the TV (its all black except the mini guide), any idea?

I am using Winfast PVR2000 with ATi Radeon 9250.

Does GB-PVR wakes up my PC for recording if I put it in hibernation?
