Can someone help me identify if this configuration will work.
1. ratDVD based media full menus, captions, audio tracks
2. Windows 2005 Media Center PC
3. GPPVR AND ratDVD installed on Windows 2005 Media Center PC
4. Linksys or any brand Media Center Extender
Will the media center extender be able to play the movies created with ratDVD served via the GPPVR software or ???
Want to be able to use media center devices to play / access my movie library at QUALITY. HD / Digital Audio on my televisions around the house.
I noticed an odd thing today, when the power went out here.
I have 3 MVPs connected to my GBPVR Server.
A few hours after the power came back up and I went to look at them all my MVPs where stuck on loading application. No matter how many times I restarted any Single MVP or the GVPVR server they would never get past the Loading Application screen.
It didn't load until after I went around and unplugged every single MVP server, restarted the GBPVR server and started the MVPs up one at a time.
Is there any known issues with multiple MVPs boot loading at the same time?
I plan on testing more to see if this occurance is a fluke or common.
I have 1 Over-the-air (antena - internal tuner) capture source line up and 1 for Directv thru Composite+External Tuner. Is there a way to enable/disable certain line up or both at will or tell gbpvr to pick a certain one?
What happens is that some times DirectTV is not connected to PVR150, and I only have antena available. In liveTV it automatically uses Directv to change the channel. This gives me a black screen. Antena is in "Sleep" mode. I end up delete the DirectTV entry for now.
And, since the program guide is merged, how do I tell which channels comes from which lineup? This is not an issue right now since there aren't many channels in my setup.
Thanks
I cannot seem to get the EPG update to work:
I have tried various combinations, i.e.:
via GBPVR option in config, the pc was awoken but did not call UpdateEPG.bat, I know this because I have log files which tell me the times the machine wakes and also when UpdateEPG is run. I thought this may have been down to the fact that I had gbpvr-wake running to resolve my pvr350 initialization issues from standby, this kills gb-pvr and then it is restarted , I thought the killing of the initial instance may have caused the update to fail.
So, I got my BIOS to awake the pc 5 minutes before the update was set to run, the pc was awoken at the alloted time and was awake @ 2:55 , it would have gone to standby after 15 minutes of idle time, i.e. 3:10, the update was scheduled to run @ 3am , but UpdateEPG was never called.
I have also attempted to set a windows schedule to do the job, and update the epg with the -OnlyUpdateEPG option, however windows required a password set on the user, which is not ideal as I have no keyboard connected to the pc and would have to remote in from another to log in.
I have had a problem with LIVE TV not working in the mornings until after a manually restart the RECORDING SERVICE. The error in the logs is:
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A system call that should never fail has failed
Server stack trace:
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags)
I have discovered
if I close down CYBERSITTER (filtering software) that this fixes the problem, however looking through the CYBERSITTER logs I'm yet to understand how this is occuring.
Interestingly though normally there is no problem, but seems to occur overnight (i.e. 95% of the time GB-PVR and cybersiter work together fine)
When I restart the gbpvr recording service, then this also fixes the problem & I can run cybersitter with gbpvr no problems
Does anyone have an experience here? Does the GB-PVR recording service have a need to make calls out to other processes or internet periodically? Perhaps it call to EPG during the morning could trigger something? It seems that either the recording service is holding onto an old network handle or something like this???
I guess I'm trying to determine how to keep my filtering software running such that it doesn't impact GB-PVR?
Tks

A request from my wife for the Music library function you have. Can we get a keyboard (remote) entry, or menu entries for adding songs (play and play all) to the playlist instead of interrupting the current playlist.
