I'm running GBPVR v0.94.13 with a PVR150 and PVR500. I've been messing with Comskip lately and been encountering a few problems. First I was getting stuttering video, most likely from recording three different shows at the same time with Comskip running while recording (so that's three different instances of Comskip). I switched Comskip to run after recording, and now the wrong video files are being stored under the wrong groupings. Specifically, I recorded Martha Stewart Apprentice and E-Ring last night, and when I select Martha Stewart Apprentice in Recordings, E-Ring plays. As expected, when I select E-Ring in Recordings, Martha Stewart Apprentice plays. Each shows are in their entirety, but they're stored under the wrong groupings. I don't have this problem if I disable Comskip completely, so something's obviously getting crossed when I use Comskip.
Is this happening to anyone else? I suspect it's only going to happen if you have more than one card in your GBPVR system. I think I'll stop messing with Comskip now and just press skip a couple of times on my remote! Haha.
When I click on a news item in the RSS stuff, A windows opens up with the start of the story, but it doesn't automatically start scrolling through the story (or seem to allow you to manually scroll through the story). The story just stops at the end of the box.
I've played with the alternative to GBPVR, called "media portal", and on that software, RSS feeds keep auto scrolling to the end of the story.
Am I doing something wrong ?
I only have reliable internet at work right now and I have a laptop which I can use there to download EPG data from zap2it. Is there an easy method to safely move the data to my main server system at home?

The first and only version that I had installed was one of December 2004 (donât know exactly what version it was) runs perfectly. When I installed the plug-in disk space and MBmonitor the troubles begun. I think (known for sure) I copied the wrong files into the red sky dir. and then suddenly my menu buttons where blue in a red back ground. I thought it was a good idea to upgrade to the latest version of GBpvr. But I donât seem to get it running. I tried several ways like uninstalling the first edition and than a complete new installation and also installed it without removing the first edition.
It seems that the installation is finished perfect but I canât get it running. Not true the start menu and not with the automatic start up.
Does someone has some tips for me how I can do this the right way. Unfortunately I am not computer smart enough to solve this by my self.
I'm interested in GB-PVR solely for viewing/timeshifting/recording HDTV/Digital TV with my A180 card (no analog card at all in my system); I tried the latest release but couldn't seem to get it to work (wasn't in any of the config dropdowns).
I've checked the forums and around the late May timeframe at least there seemed to be some interest in this card, but I haven't seen anything since then, so...
I have been using an All-in-Wonder 9800SE for my TV for quite some time, but the software it comes with is rather clunky and tends to crash what is an otherwise very stable computer. So I thought I'd look for some new software, but downloading GB-PVR I'm not even sure if it supports the card? If so, which of the tuner source things should I select in the options (i.e. does anyone know what the TV tuner on this thing actually is?) I've also tried K!TV, but it gives a fuzzy picture and the sound keeps blipping. Is there perhaps something else that would be good to use?
Meanwhile, I'm using an Audigy 2 ZS for my sound, and am supposed to run a cable from a bit on my graphics card into the line-in for it to be able to record the TV sound (although it works without live). However, this set-up causes the sound to sometimes be replaced by really loud buzzing that I can't get to stop, and this happens with all the different types of software I've tried. Does anyone know what that could be about?
Using the latest release and it's the best yet, love it!
But..
Something that bugs me occasionally is when I go to set a recording but can't because it overlaps with another by a small amount, usually 5 minutes. Channel 4 in the UK often have programs that start on the hour but finish 65 minutes later. It would be great if when this happens I could have extra options of 'record anyway (i.e. start five minutes late or finish 5 minutes early)' or 'Change the one it overlaps with by reducing by 5 minutes at start or finish'. At present I have to go and check the times of what it clashes with and then make a manual recording to suit. Chances are it's only adverts that will be missed most of the time anyway.
Does that make sense?
Thanks for all your efforts so far.
