First let me say that GBPVR is really, really awesome. The commercial skip works flawlessly, the recordings look great, and the customization features are sweet as hell.

That said, I'm having a hard time getting anything to work that's supposed to be automated. The downloading of the program guide doesn't do its magic in the middle of the night like it should, but updates just fine when I run it automatically. Also, the re-encoding of recordings into DivX/Xvid/WMV doesn't work at all. No error message or anything... it just sort of ignores that I asked it to do it.

The settings all look right in my Configuration. Any ideas?

I live in Bulgaria, but 60 of my chanels are PAL_B (Denamark) and the other 3 are PAL_D (Czech Republic). I want watch all 63 chanels, but I must make a choice between 60 PAL_B chanels or the other 3 (PAL_D)
Is there a way to watch chanels with different video system with GBPVR?

Hey there,

Ok, so my recurrings seem to be working just fine. However, now I am unable to play any of my video recordings, even the old ones that previously worked. I can select to play the video, it sits for a sec, then goes back to the listing of videos.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I setup GB-PVR to record to a network drive. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I didn't really know why so I took a look into the log files and found this:

10/17/2005 6:16:34 PM.000 ERROR [23] Error starting recording: Could not find a part of the path "\\SERVER\Videos".
10/17/2005 6:16:34 PM.031 ERROR [23] Error starting recording: at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str)
at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path)

at GBPVR.RecordingService.RecordingManager.GetFileNameAndCreateDirectories(ScheduledRecording xe41d2b9d98dc1269)
at GBPVR.RecordingService.RecordingManager.WorkerThread()

I tried it with a mapped drive letter (ie "Z:\") but that still didn't work. Since I have a server called "SERVER" that has a much bigger hard drive (but not enough CPU to run GB-PVR) I wanted a way to make this work.

After searching, I found out that I needed to create a new account on the server account and another account with the same name on my gb-pvr machine (the client machine). I then changed the GB-PVR recording service to run as this account and it worked!

To summarize, the steps I used to get GB-PVR to successfully record on a network share were:
- Create an account on both the network machine and the local machine with the same password
- Change the GB-PVR service to run as that account (in Control Panel -> Services)

If you are using a domain then you need to add the service account for the client computer to a domain share (not entirely sure about this but it shouldn
't be too hard).

I wonder if a detection routine could be built into the GB-Config util that would alert the user if a network path were selected that it won't work unless you take the above steps.

Hey everyone,

I want to preface this by saying I am very satisfied with GBPVR, I bought a whole bunch of hardware with the intention of using mythTV, turns out the hauppauge drivers for my VIA KM400 chipset don't work on linux, thankfully there is GBPVR.

Unfortunately my SK43G's internal s-video OUT only fills up about 95% of my screen, giving it a thin 5% border, I hope to buy a new card when I have some money to fix this problem, but I noticed that as of yesterday there are three white dots that appear in the top right hand corner.

After doing some searching I heard mention of closed caption hidden by overscan, but I don't believe that this is the case, because they appear both during television playback, and the playback of DVDs, but only inside of GBPVR.

I have my playback settings to use the default decoder and player for all instances....anyone have any ideas?

Thank You -
Danny.

Also, I hope to get a picture of my setup online for you guys, is there a thread where people have done this? I'm actually pretty proud about how everything looks.

I have just installed GBPVR and think it is a great program and quite easy to set up.

My problem is that all my recordings have sound like a dalek (very juttery). :confused: The LiveTV is fine.

Is there anything that I can change?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Could anyone tell me how i can get the full file name displayed in the videos menu & the music menu. At the moment only one line is displayed the second line has been cut off somehow.I have tried different skins but this has no effect. I get this problem on the pc & the mvp. I am using the latest gbpvr.

Many Thanks Jase

I usually use video redo to cut out commercials and then burn on a DVD using Ulead 3. I'm wondering if anyone has done a sort of comparison between videoredo and comclean to see which one does a better job with the end product.

Hi there. I know i had this issue before but it is still not fixed after: updating the supscrip. , re-installing, change auto-update to later time.

PROBLEM>>When I update the EPG it does so in a very quick manner; almost as if its skipping something (like the channels). When its done processing and receiving channels i then re-start the GBPVR and the entire guide is BLANK. This problems seems to be a sparce one by the looks of the forum.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHATS OCCURING??????


Thanks in advance,

Matt

Hi gang - My soyo main board fried yet again, so I'm starting from scratch and plan to go with a new pc to mediaMVP connection instead of spending the same money on a nicer video card with TV out.

Only problem - Radioshack manager in city of buffalo claims radioshack never sold mediaMVP; obviously a $40 MVP wasn't found. So if you guys could post to this board when a deal, or rebate is available, I'd appreciate it... thanks
