Hi all!

I am working on a feature comparision chart for a large list of front ends. I personally have not used gbpvr, so I am looking for someone who knows the product well and would be able to fill out my template for gbpvr. If anyone would like to help out with the gpvr section, please email me at htpcsw@gmail.com

Once the chart is complete it will be posted over at htpcsw.com

Thanks!

Does the deinterlacing option on the Misc tab have any effect when using Nova-t USB device?
(I guess this would actually apply to any BDA card)

What are the pro / cons of using "direct access to haupage remote" ?
I have the 45 button haupage remote, and am not using direct access.
I don’t have any problems it works fine, I'm just curious.

thanks

Does anyone have a batch file that they can post that runs comskip on files that have not had comskip run on them?

I am looking for a batch file that can go through four hard drives searching all shows that are stored alphabetically in separate folders for each show. Then determine if a show has had comskip run on it, if not, run the comskip.exe on the program and then move onto the next show and stop after searching all four hard drives.

I just realized that the priorities work well, but they don't tell you that they are being done. This is only an issue in I just figured out some things weren't recording because CDK does a good job handling it.

I would love to see alerts or messages of some kind that it's doing it's magic, though. At least that way I would know I'm not getting cetains shows, and can track them down or reconsider the priority if the lesser show will not repeat, and the higher show will.

Maybe it can just report them in conflicts, or just highlight schedules that overlap.

hi,
A couple of questions:
a) any one else using bladerunner epg successfully?
b) is it normal for gbpvr to fail silently when an import fails as I can not see anything in the logs
c) is it possible the XMLTV plugin in gbpvr is not 100% xmltv compliant?

I recently changed to the latest version of blade because the previous started to fail and ever since the produced listing2.xml file is not getting imported into gbpvr.
The listing file does appear complete, the xmltv.xsd (xmltv schema) is the same as the old version of blade. The listing file is in a slightly different format than the previously generated file, but should still be fine.

any help appreciated

Just saw this this 6200 card for £40.00. It seems quite cheap is it good value for a htpc card or have I missed something?

Hello,

I have two issues for which I really need advice now:
(EPIA SP8000E, Hauppauge PVR 350)

LiveTV:

1 - when selecting this menu option the Live TV starts fine on the TV out. However, once I switch channel using up/down arrows, it switches to an "empty" channel and after a short while the whole computer freezes.
2 - I don't seem to get the channel assignments right. In config.exe, I have assigned the right channels to the broadcasting station names in the channels tab, however if I go to the TVGuide in gbpvr, select any current show and choose "watch", it displays the wrong channel (on TVout). I have used the tuning assistant to figure out which channel numbers the stations have, and have used the same channel numbers in config.exe.

FM Radio:
- I have no option in the radio plugin to "scan". I can add a FM channel manually, but when i select it and choose "play" it says "unable to communicate with recording service". Altough the gbpvr is freshly started and I haven't selected to watch tv, nor is any tv recording going on. I'm especially puzzled about the fact that there's no scan option, although the hauppage 350 has a FM port which is connected to the FM cable (the hauppauge radio application works).

Any hints on where to look next, any things I should check? Driver I should have? Options I should have selected/deselected?

Thanks a lot,
Frank

Morning all......long time lurker, first time poster!!! Lovely bit of software Sub....

I'm finally getting round to setting up my dvb/freeview PVR.
Anyone have any points/pros/cons of the various cards available?. Main options are the haupp nova-t, the twinhan, or the blackgold.

Also, is the twinhan card sold under the "visionplus" brand in the UK? seems to appear alot when googling for the twinhan.

Cheers

Hi

Is there any way of testing that an image exists, before trying to call it??

So i could go call something else if it wasn't there. i suppose i could do it by reading the xml directly, or a big try catch section...but wondering if there's anything "nice" already to do it for me.

Hi guys

I just installed xrecord on my system and started to have a bit of a play, looks like what i've been looking for.

Unfortunatly, I didn't setup all the config options and now I get the following msg:

"Microsoft .NET Framework
An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: '0' is not a valid value for 'index'"

It then goes into greater detail, much greater detail :-(

I have run the uninstall for xrecord and this fixes the problem, until I reinstall and get the same message

Any Ideas??
