Hey all... I installed gbpvr and right now I'm loving it just because of the cool integrated program guide and what not.
However there are a few minor things that are bugging me.
1) When I was just using the Hauppauge WinTV software, all I had to do to start it up to watch TV was hit the TV or power button on the remote and the software would start. Is there a way to do this?
2) FM Tuner doesn't work. No sound. Do I need to configure it somewhere?
I've got this set up:
1) PVR500 as Capture Device #1
2) PVR500 with FM as Capture Device #2
Device manager has them listed as Hauppage WinTV PVR PCI II (Tuner 1) & (Tuner 2). i am running XP sp2.
When I go to record two shows at the same time in GBpvr, It tells me I have a conflict and makes me cancel one of the recordings. I was using Snapstream trial and it worked. Why won't Gbpvr work?

Title says it all really, the last two nights I have had scheduled recordings that just stop writing to disk during the program - instead of an hour, I got 25 mins last night and 35 mins tonight.
There's plenty of hard disk space left, there is nothing in the logs that looks abnormal, nothing in the windows event logs, the recording service was showing that it was recording for the correct duration each time, but the files just stoped being updated.
I'm using a Nova-t PCI in a lowly Athlon 1.4Ghz machine, but it's recorded properly most time up until now (odd glitches now and again playing back the files, but no major problem). Using GBPVR version 0.94.13
I am using a Hauppage PVR250 card connected via the antenna socket to a cable box. Not using a channel changer for the moment (as its not delivered yet).
I have configured to use the Direct Recording Plugin usined Fixed Channel External Tuner set to constant channel 52 (which is the one WinTV works with - WinTV plays live TV fine and records fine).
GBPVR Live TV works fine but whatever I record just displays the typical wavy lines of an untuned signal - given that Live TV works I cant work out why the recording doesn't.
Dunno how many British GBPVR users are out there but getting inspiration from the Theatre Listings plugin I decided to write one that would show film times / info for Cinemas in the UK.
At the moment it displays times and limited film info but I plan to expand on this. Any bugs / suggestions feel free to post or PM me.
Note
It's called V1.0 but it has only been tested with 2 GBVPR setups so I would consider it a beta version.
Hi, I'm a relatively new GBPVR user. So far I've got things running quite well, just configuring and tayloring things.
Question: I had problems due to multiple installs to different directories so I bit the bullet and un-installed and reistalled to the default directory. After doing so, my old recordings do not show up under the recordings/ready button. The actual recordings are still on my hard drive. Is there a way to have them appear under recordings/ready?
Thanks to all who are involved with the development of this great software.
In the settings tab in GBPVR config, I have options like
720*480
480*480
352*480
320*240
Can those be changed, and if so, how? I just wanted 352*240, since 320*240 plays letterboxed on the MVP, forcing me to use 352*480 (which is more than what I need for some shows)
I have created a new community that focuses on software for HTPCs. This includes frontends, media players, utilites, etc. On the site there is news about HTPC software, a version tracker, user submitted reviews, and a forum for discussion about all things software for HTPCs. Come check us out at www.htpcsw.com
I am also looking for a moderator for the forum and reviews from everyday users of HTPC software.
