Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the place as I'm talking about a plugin or maybe I should have used the wishlist threads...

Anyways, couple of nice tweaks to the SCAN option in the My Videos plugin...
The ability to collect tv shows info from TV.com and... something that will be a nice addition to the GetAllMovies util is the ability to collect the info from apple (where we actually getting the trailers...)

I continue to have the strangest problems with 94.12.

Several days ago I was changing channels using the channel up/down function and after about a dozen channels the audio/video became very "choppy." After a few more channel changes the system rebooted by itself. It then went into the reboot loop where it boots, starts windows and appears to be starting GBPVR then reboots --- it repeats this process time after time. I've found that the only way to stop this is to start in Safe Mode, schedule chkdsk /f, restart, let chkdsk run and when the machine restarts everything is back to normal and GBPVR starts normally.

Last night I avoided using channel up/down adn changed channels by directly entering the channel numbers. After about a dozen channels the system reboots and goes into the reboot loop. Again, running chkdsk seems to clear it up and operation is OK.

These problems did not occur with the 92.xx release and other than the GBPVR release nothing else has changed (no new drivers, plug ins, etc.) I haven't seen other reports of anything like this so it doesn't look to be endemic in GB but rather unique to my system. The strange thing is that running chkdsk seems to clear up the immediate rebooting problem. But chkdsk never reports any errors, just running it is enough to get things straightened out. Defrag runs once a week in the early morning hours. The EPG update runs at about 5AM every morning and seems to work fine.

Just looking for ideas.

i think that, if a recording starts and there already exists a file with the name it is using, it clobbers it.

what happened: 4.5 hours into a 5 hour recording, i managed to crash the machine (reason unrelated to gbpvr). it rebooted automatically, and the recording service started recording, presumably to finish. unfortunately, i lost the recording prior to the reboot.

it would be nice if it checked for file existance, and appended something to create a name that doesn't exist. or, alternatively, if it renamed any pre-existing file to something unique. (maybe the latter is easier, i can see there are issues with finding it for playback.)

This is not a GBPVR problem per se but I thought I'd ask if anyone had seen this. I just bought a PVR500MCE to add two additional tuners to the 2 PVR150MCE cards in my system.

But the machine will not boot with it installed and it hangs after the BIOS display. I tried removing one of the 150 card to see if that might help but it didn't. I tried it in another machine and that machine booted fine.

Anyone have any ideas?

Could anyone tell me what settings to use in ffdshow to get fullscreen avi's on the mvp. I have a widescreen tv. I am in the uk so need pal settings.
I have tried setting the resize to 720 * 576 but this plays letter boxed on the tv.
I have tried 640 * 288 but then some of the picture is of the screen.

Also i have the osd set up in ffdshow, this is just of the screen as well, does this have something to do with the screen settings within gbpvr.

Does someone know how to tell windows to reposition a window at the top left corner of a screen?
My VC++ installation has a corrupt help system so no help.

I use "C" as a programming language.

Dear Team!

At first I want to thank you for this genius tool gbpvr. I really love this program and the functions I've never seen before.

I have problems with more than two in one computer BDA-cards. I want to install 4 TechnoTrend Budget (1400series) DVB-S cards in one computer (also known as Hauppauge Nexus-S). As OS will Windows 2000 running.

I'm using TT-BDA-Driver and tried Versions: 4.4.10.2, 4.4.10.4 and 4.4.10.5(the MCE2005 ones). When I have more than 2 cards installed it seems GBPVR got problems to build the graph with the right connectors:

The config.log always said Can not build graph and ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED; When I load the graph.grf into the GraphEdit out from the MS-DirectX SDK It says Error Device not connected.

I tried out that that when I rebuild the graph manually I need to really watch out with 4 same named Capture and Tuner entries, so just for testing I edited the TT inf-files and created for every device a driver pack with ending #1 - #4 to have pseudo sorting. When I rebuilding the graph manual again it works again but has still the problem the system not recordnised the sorting for the capture entries. Just the Tuner was not ended with #1 - #4. So it's always luck to link the right tuner with the right capture device.

I wanted to create 4 pseudo device in the BDA.inf to let controll GBPVR all 4 cards, always like Hauppauge Nova-S#1 - #4 and device number 1 where every (BDA)PIN is significant (is it right english?).

I'm confused because the TechnoTrend BDA-Sample got the right connecting even all cards are called on the same, I'm not sure if this problem can be solved over GBPVR but has anybody a solution for my problem?

I forgot: Version of GBPVR is 0.94.13, actual the driver versions of TT are 4.4.10.4 and i don't think it's a problem of codec or demuxer version because even I downplug the number of cards to two all is running fine.

As I didn't found any google entry from the graph error numbers I didn't found any limitations of devices in the MS-DirectX groups.

Any ideas?

MVP drops connection when I click either stop or back/exit in the middle of watching a recording. This also happens when I press either button to go back to main menu. The MVP then tries to connect to servers, but it won't. The only way I recover is restarting the recording service. This happens when I use the Video Archive plugin only. It sometimes disconnects with XRecord but it recovers. Has anybody encountered this problem with the Video Archive plugin.

As reference, am using Video Archive to watch only DVDs I converted with DVD2MPEG (I like the way it looks), also this is the latest version of Video Archive, GBPVR 93.13, latest Media DX skin.

Hi Everyone,
I just finished to setup my PVR (KlossPC, 3GHz, 1G of RAM, PVR150 and Radeon X300), and everyhting is working fine under GBPVR, but I do have one problem with LiveTV. Basically, when I first start LiveTV, the picture is in phase with the sound, but after 1.30 hours, I have about 1 second delay between the picture and the sound. Before touching any options in config, I just wanted to see if somebody faced this before...I had a look at the forum and the FAQ, but didn't find anybody with a similar issue.
Any idea why I got such delay on liveTV?

Thanks,
Yann

I would like to be able to do the file conversion on a specific folder. Then I could set it as the archive folder and convert everything in it. This way I could save hd space on my older recordings but maintain the commercial detection on newer stuff.
