Sub,
I'm using GBPVR v94.13 with MVP. After surfing channels with the remote, I stay on one channel and then LiveTV cycles something like the following:
1. It plays fine for some time (10-20 seconds?)
2. It freezes for 1-2 seconds
3. The screen goes black for about a second
4. While the screen is black, the 'Function' (i.e., square button on the remote) button icon appears at the top right of the screen.
5. Then the icon changes to the 'Play' button icon.
6. Then LiveTV resumes normally for about 10-20 seconds, and this cycle repeats.

I've seen this on numerous occasions. Attached is a ZIP file with the log files.

Thanks in advance.

Many of the buttons on my hauppauge remote don't work on gbpvr. They all work on the orginal hauppauge program and on other programs. Please Help!

I have to admit this is one of the best software packages I have seen and I am in the custom home automation industry. The best part is that it is FREE!

One wish I would like to see is a DVD Jukebox controller. There are currently media servers that can control a Sony 400 disc DVD changer. When a new disc is added it checks to see what it is and retrieves the Disc information and files and views the DVDs like any media server and will Que the disc when selected from the GUI. The advantage of this is, first of all you wont need terrabytes of Hard Drive space A DVD Jukebox is less expensive then all of the harddrives to hold them all. Also when the standard on the High Def DVDs come out I would rather buy a different DVD changer than even more Hard Drives. Also the advantage of this is you can still use the component out on the DVD Jukeboxes and still get the quality with out buying a better graphics card. It would also be nice to controll multiple DVD Changers, most media servers can control 2. This would be perfect for starting the Hi-Def collection in the other Jukebox.

Let me know what you guys think of this idea.

MyVideo keeps playing random files. I click on a video I want to watch and it plays something else in the same folder. I stop it and click the same file again and it plays a different one, and one it goes. Is there a random or shuttle optino somewhere that I'm not aware of. It's getting really annoying because I can't play the video I want to watch.

Thanks for any help.

I've been playing with comskip for the last couple of weeks and I've got it down to where it almost always right on the commercials. It generates the text file and most are right on where the breaks should be.

I have the auto skip checked in config, I'm running it from a post processing bat file.

While watching a recording sometimes it will just skip ahead like i think it should (skipping over the marked breaks) and other times it needs me to do the 0+skip thing manually

Is there something that GBpvr looks for to do the auto skip? Is there something i could tweak a bit to get it to auto skip? Maybe a config setting or something.. I just don't understand why sometimes it auto skips and sometimes not even though the text file has marked what to skip over.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Here is what I want to do. Is it possible.

I have two video capture devices. 1.The Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 and 2. Avermedia 150M. I currently have the Avermedia configured to use internal tuner with my cable tv input and the Hauppauge with s-video to my Dishnetwork satellite box.

Is it possible in GBPVR to set up another device in the config program for the Hauppage capture card only this time for the tuner with cable input. This would allow me to record two different channels off of cable at the same time. If so, I assume GBPVR is smart enough to choose which card to use to avoid possible conflicts with satellite recording.

I have read serveral threads about "point me at the config directory please". I not sure about the solution.

After updating EPG, I select "Map digital channels.." then promted to "point me at the config directory please".

I have also installed ShowShifter.

:confused:

For no rhyme or reason, my MVP has suddenly started rebooting itself during MPEG2 playback. I have made no changes to GBPVR or my system recently, other than an update that Acrobat Reader installed. I have a plenty powerful system, a P4 2.8Ghz HT w/ 1GB PC3200 and a Hauppauge PVR-250. The drive I use to store the recordings is a 120GB ATA, which I'm only using a tenth of that. That and my page file is on that drive.

I use comskip on my recordings, and I had GBPVR setup to automatically skip. I tried disabling autoskip with no help. When my MVP reboots I usually have to restart the GBPVR MediaMVP Server and power cycle the MVP. Sometimes it will connect back to the server and go to the main GBPVR screen on it's own.

I had a similar problem a while back with MP3 playback. The MVP would reboot after every 2 or 3 songs. I read on another post that installing the .NET 2.0 Beta Framework helped, so I installed it and it immediately helped. I'm now starting to wonder if that was simply a placebo, even though it was stable for 2 or 3 weeks.

I started looking through the log files, but I couldn't find anything obvious. I'm not exactly sure where to start to troubleshoot this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Everything seems to work ok except that any shows I've scheduled and then recorded stutter on play back. Both video and audio. Live TV w/ pause and even when I record from live TV playback just fine. It seems to only happen when I've recorded something by scheduling it in the TV Listing. If I try to play the stuttering file using Media Player is still stutters so I know it's being recorded wrong.

I've looked all over this forum for a clue but the posts I've found don't seem to apply. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

John

I've had an issue with my pvr system since I've added a pvr-150 card to my system. I was already using a pvr-250. Recording channel 4 has a really crappy picture when ever uses the pvr-150 card. When I pulled out the pvr-250 card the issue went away. I've upgraded the drivers to 2.3b and the most current GBPVR. It has really gotten on my nerves knowing there was always a 50% chance that when I was recording channel 4 it would record bad. As I was looking through all the posts here about fine tuning a single channel etc. it occured to me why not just disable the channel from the EPG channel line up on the 150. So now theres a 0% chance that channel 4 will record from the pvr-150 card. I just wanted to pass this info along to everyone that is having a problem with only one channel (hopefully one of your other tuner cards will work fine like mine does)
