Just started using GB-PVR few days ago, very impressed so far.

I can access movies, photos, mp3 files, only if they are located on the same PC as GB-PVR MediaMVP Server is running. I Cannot access files which are located on another PC on my LAN via MVP.
If I run GB-PVR on my PVR PC, I can access any file on my fileserver which is on the same LAN as my PVR PC.

Any good ideas? Or do I really need to copy all my files from my fileserver to my PVR PC?

By the way, the Web interface has same problem.

I've just upgraded my PC and moved from a Hauppauge Analogue PC card to an Asus My Cinema-P7131 Dual TV tuner and FM Radio Card-PCI. Everything working OK (though not impressed with My Cinema software), but there is no facility to make scheduled recordings. Will this software do it for me?

Hi there,

my GBRVR system does not behave as wanted: After scheduling some recordings I let my system go to hibernation (using the external poweroff.exe as custom task). It wakes up on time as exspected. But then it doesn't go to hibernation again.

I found some similiar issues in this forum but didn't found an answer. Is this right, that no windows system configuration needs to be done for GBPVR hibernation? Are there any GBPVR configurations I may have missed?

I'am using a Biostar iDEQ 210V with a Hauppauge PVR USB2. There is no mouse etc. connected which may cause "user interaction".

Anybody here who has an idea?

Thanks & Greetings
Peter

If this is in the wrong thread...my apologies....

I am a newbie to all this so please bear with me...
I have looked through various threads here and other sources, but have not found anything.

GB-PVR is great. I pull the listings through Zapit and recordings are fine and I can watch the shows on my PC.

Here is what I would like to do:
I am using GB-PVR w/ Sapphire Theatrix 550 card to record shows that I would like to import into DVArchive to stream to my ReplayTV. (I record additional shows because the ReplayTV only has one tuner).

Installed latest drivers from ATI for 550 Pro card.

My settings in GB-PVR
Recording Source: Direct Recording Plugin
Capture Card: ATI Theater 550 Pro
Board #: Capture Device #1
Source: Internal Tuner

Quality Profile Settings: Medium & Custom #1
Vid Resolution: NTSC 480x480 (and have tried NTSC 720x480)
Bit Rate: 6000 (currently) (have gone down to 4000)
Bit Rate PEAK: 9700
Audio Bit Rate: 224 (have tried 112,160,192,256,320)
Audio Sample Rate: 48 Khz

Under the Misc tab: (Mostly default settings)
Disabled Live Preview mode
BDA Multiplexer:
Microsoft DVR-MS

The problem I encounter is when I want to run the mpg files through "RTVConvert" to prep for importing to the Replay unit via DVArchive.

I recieve an error:
"unsupported audio rate - must be 112-320Kbps"

I was hoping someone here may have tried this in the past or is doing something like this.
I am hoping it's something I have configured incorrectly.
Any insight or info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks....

An Intelligent recording service that would analyze your recording/viewing patterns and recognise the types of programs you like to watch and make suggestions on programs, and record them for you automatically if told to.

Understandably this could be a bad thing with regards to disk space, but the option would be good.
I understand this would also require the categorisation of programs, so may not be possible. But it would be cool

I believe TIVO claimed to do this but not sure how well it worked, anyone use this facility?

I have yet to get channel changing on my cable box automated... Hauppauge's IR Blaster won't send an Enter after the channel change, the serial port on the my cable box is disabled and the first IR emitter I ordered was broken. So, I have to change the channel manually.

Trouble is, when you look at the details of a Pending recording, it doesn't tell you what channel it's going to be recording on. I fortunately did discover the web interface shows the channel... but my PC's dedicated to the TV and therefore in gbpvr 100% of the time, so my remote and I can't log into the web.

After succesfully used gbpvr for 2 weeks now, i now get failed recordings.
Yesterday i added a Hauppauge pvr500mce without any trouble.
I verified that all tuners worked by enableing a specific channel for each tuner wich were disabled for the other 2.
I don't see something obvious in the logs, but then again i don't know what i'm looking for.
I attached a few log files wich i thought were relevant. 1 show in there for instance "The king of queens" failed it was aired at 13-okt 18:25 - 18:55
The machine was on at the time doing nothing, no screensaver no hibernation or whatever.

Thanks for any suggestion.

GBPVR Version: 0.94.13

OS: Win XP Pro SP2

Mainboard: Epox 8rgm21 (nvidia nforce2) / AMD +2300 or something... / 1 GB memory

Capture: Hauppauge Nova DVB-T (90002)

Output: Xcard


Problem: When I try to use LIVE TV with my "live preview mode" -on, my system totally crashes (harddisk buffer mode does not work either, no picture, no sound)

Question: Should this hardware construction work in principle? Should livepreview work? And how to get it to work.

( Actually after my last crash, GBPVR wont start at all. .NET -system tells there is a broblem, ill fix this somehow... )

I just love this software, even though I have had nothing but broblems with it, but most have been only my stupidity, and learned a lot

DVD Discs dont want to play also, just blank screen, and GBPVR freezes. but for NOW I want to get LIVE TV to work.

By the way, is it possible somehow to record on-the-fly to DIVX-Format?

Thank You in advance for help =)

I may be missing this somewhere (probably am).

It would be nice if the reocurring recording window would provide a little more information. Right now it only shows the title of the recording and that it is reocurring. It would be nice if it showed info more like the pending display - particularly day/date/time of recording. That way I can tell which recording is which without having to enter each one and risk hitting cancel when leaving it. That's happened to me much to frequently. I know that's my fault for making a mistake, but this extra info in the listing would prevent it.

It would also be helpful if this display was sorted differently - maybe order of recording? It seems like it is currently ordered by when the recording was entered.

Sorry if I'm asking for something already there and, in my stupidity, I am missing it.

All, I am playing around with developing my own system information plugin. Here is what I have thus far:



The problem I am having is making it flexible in terms of skinning. Right now I am using a CompositeImage along with a DrawRoundedRect to draw the rectangle around the drive information -- this part is in the skin.

However, in the code, I have it set to enumerate the drives and their status using absolute positioning. I am using DrawString and DrawRoundRect (from the original sysinfo plugin) to accomplish this.

The problem is that the skin can't know how many drives there are.

To rectify this, I was thinking of manually parsing the skin.xml file and adding my own nodes prior to calling the SkinHelper constructor. At least then, the dynamically created nodes would be relative to the parent CompositeImage/DrawRoundedRect.

Any other ideas?
