OK, so now I've got the Twinhan being recognised, is there any control over the way it scans? Previously with the native drivers and prgdvb it found several hundred channels, but with the BDA drivers and through config it zips through many of the frequencies and only returne 50 or so Arabic and Italian channels at 13E (some people are never happy)
Hi wondering if anyone can help (or indeed sub). I've just installed GBPVR (latest version) on my PC. I can launch config, but when I try to save the settings by clicking OK the application crashes.
I have it installed on a shuttle ST61G4 XPC running media centre. I also use a Connexant DTV card and the following BDA multiplexor has just bee installed:

To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this

1. I searched the forum far and wide and looked for plugins to rebuild my recordings db (gbpvr.mdb damaged by reinstall into PC). Someone once mentioned editing the access db directly but gave no details. I looked at the db but with no docs I do not want to compound my problem.
Has anyone edited it to just add titles that are on disk? What records are needed and what fields are required at a minimum?
2. More on the access db. In mine I found many old records. Is this a defect of my setup or do records stay there indefinitely? Is any maintenance required or recommended? Is there any doc on this?
Thanks for any advice
And now a word of caution to anyone migrating their system: Here is my misadventure to learn from.
I was installed on a 600 gig p4 1mb XP Pro system but had to downsize to a 200 gig, p4 512mb XP home.
I installed gbpvr (to create registry entries) then copied the files from original system gbpvr forlder to the new one. I was betting I could update recordings db, config details etc.
When I restarted gbpvr config would run, had al my specs, etc. and looked good, the "tray" ran and the scheduler recorded on schedule.
BUT BUT BUT whenever I tried to run gbpvr.exe or the gbpvr server, the program started, GAVE NO ERRORS, showed as active process and could be terminated, BUT nothing showed on screen and the MVP could not access the gbpvr server (of course). I removed GBPVR and reinstalled, removed even .NET and reinstalled.
The mess got fixed when I explicitly removed the config XML file and ran config again. I presume that something in it referenced the video card or memory of the old system. In any event, just uninstalling did not fix it.
Of course in th eprocess I lost all my Recordings and therefore the questions above BEWARE OF MIGRATIONS...
LAST COMMENT - gbpvr is one of the best pieces of software (free or otherwise) that I have found in many years. It is an impressive product in a league with very few others, and beats hands down many (most?) of its commercial competitors. On my knees I gratefully bow to the author(s?) for such a gift.
Hi all,
can someone talk me through setting up xmltv.
I'm probably being quite dumb but I can't suss it out.I've been through the wiki but I can't find anything that lays down the steps I need to set the thing up.
I record several channels on a weekly basis and have a couple channels that have no sound but others both above and below those channels have sound. I have older shows from those channels that are fine. I updated the PVR 150 drivers and it did not help any ideas of what to try?
