Today I discovered a bunch of comskip files on my drive from old recordings I've deleted through the GBPVR interface. Is it possible for GBPVR to delete the comskip files when I delete a recording?
I've got an old STB TV Tuner card in a Win2K box that I am trying to get to work with GBPVR. The drivers I'm using are generic to the cards tv tuner chipset (got them off the net), they support it as a Conexant Bt828 chipset and I just don't know what settings to use. There is a Conexant Blackbird option but it says that there is no driver installed for it. What should I choose?
Also, whats up with all the acronyms? I can't tell what anything is. Such as
DVB EPG Broadcast
BDA Recording plugin
BDA Devices
Also, do I have to have a channel changer? Is that just for a remote control?
Hi, I am a newbie to GBPVR but after trying to get it working for 2 weeks I need help.
I am running it on a XP Pro box that is only accessed via XP remote desktop and am trying to record from a UK Freeview Hauppauge Nova-T USB2. I am using the Showshifter mux.
When I record it only records the first 489,624KB and then quits. All my recordings are this length. This is driving me nuts. I have no screen saver on the machine or other power saving stuff on any of the logon's (inc Admin).
Surely if I'm recording a Mpeg2 source, it should only record one quality, the bit rate it's Tx in? Also, what is the difference between Quick record and normal record ?
If anyone out there has their settings for a similar setup, or just those required for the Nova-T USB2, (esp' if you've got the Freeview EPG working), I would be greatful for a copy of them.
Using a 45 key Hauppauge with a PVR150. Basically want to exit the main menu with the big green power key on the remote instead of scrolling through the menu options. Is there a key or key sequence to exit ?
The Recording Service seems to work fine BUT:
GB-PVR itself does not (with v2.0 installed only - so I re-installed v1.1 again to get GB-PVR working again but now with v2.0 released I would say that this should get fixed...), I got that error in the log file:

This has happened twice in the past couple of weeks. All of my channels are three digit and are sent from a USB-UIRT to a Sky Digital box.
It would appear that gbpvr is sending 1115 rather than 115, this then switches the Sky box to the wrong channel.
In the USB-UIRT channel changer dialog I have tried:
1. All checkboxes unticked
2. Checkbox 1 and checkbox 3 ticked.
Both have resulted in this occasional problem.
I'm not using the most recent release of gbpvr. Can someone please tell me if this problem has been known to occur with older releases and whether it has been fixed?
It may not be a gbpvr issue but on both occasions it has occured when trying to switch to channel 115. Other recordings on 115 have been successful so I'm not quite sure why. Both may have been back to back recordings with something else - I'm not certain about that though.
See the latest posts in the sticky thread at the top of this forum, regarding poor MPEG playback performance. It seems Microsoft acknowledges the playback problems and publicly released a fix along with a recent security update. You may have upgraded your system without knowing it, like I did.
For me at least on Windows 2000, the problem with directx 9.0c's quartz.dll does seem to be solved. If you experienced the trouble yourself, rolling back to 9.0b's quartz.dll fixed your trouble, and you test out the latest update, please consider posting your findings here. Others will probably be reluctant to update until they get more confirmed success, and if it doesn't work for you, people will want to know.
Sub, thanks for mentioning the Cyberlink registry settings in this thread. As much time as I spend on these boards and tweaking my installation, I don't know how I missed this. I wondered why the mini-guide didn't work for me. I have a question though.
Do I understand correctly that even if you have enabled VMR 9 in config, without this reg setting the Cyberlink decoders were switching to Overlay mode?
Personally, I found adding the hardware setting, UIUseHVA, and the EnableVMR setting helped quite a bit (I think it's just the UIUseHVA that made the difference), but when I used EnableVMR9, playback suffered tremendously. I guess that means my system doesn't have enough horsepower for VMR9?
Looking at the wiki for some more information about VMR I noticed another tidbit I'd missed. It says that neither VMR 7 or 9 are supported in Windows 2k... but this isn't right, is it? If so, then why does the EnableVMR9 setting have any impact on my system if all my system can do is Overlay anyway? Assuming the wiki is inaccurate, and I've found other info on the web that contradicts it, without the EnableVMR9 setting, but with EnableVMR does that mean my system is really using VMR7? And if so, besides the Mini-guide is there anything I'm losing between VMR7 and VMR9?
I'd be happy to update the wiki page to explain differences between the two in GB-PVR, but I'd have to know what they are first.
Sometimes, and moreso lately, gb-pvr just forgets to record my shows. If I update the EPG or schedule another recording, it magically remembers my previous requests and begins recording (if something had been previously scheduled at that time).
This behavior began after upgrading to the version with the built in divx encoding. Now besides the fact that no matter what codec I choose nothing happens to my files once they are complete (no conversion). I'm running 0.94.13
