Hi

I downloaded the GBPVR two months ago. Until now I’m very impressed how much you can get as freeware. Basically I got interested in GBPVR because of the MVP server facility. However, for the time being I’m not using the MVP and want make GBPVR reliable enough to be used by the rest of the family.

Right now I’m struggling with two problems that have to be solved:

1 – The DVD bottom has diapered.
I switched it of under plug-ins in the GBPVR configuration. After a short time I turned on again, but it never came back in the main menu. I have also checked the box “show DVD bottom” in the DVD/remote menu.

2 – DivX movies do not work.
It simply will not play the DivX movies. It looks like it will start, but the screen remains black.
I have, as recommended in this forum, uninstalled the divx codex and installed the FFD show codex. I did not help.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

After months of researching the topic, I finally built my first PVR. Well, sort of. First of all, thank you so much for this wonderful piece of software. Truly remarkable!

My PC works both as my PC and as the PVR. Hence, the natural choice for me was to go with MediaMVP. I read many reviews about it and about how good the quality of the picture / sound is so I decided to give it a go. I have a few comments/ suggestions about it:
- Divx play: I don't know if it is a hardware limit, but why does my widescreen movie clips appear on the top portion of the screen? Is anyone else experiencing this? Like instead of two black bars (one on top the other on the bottom) I get the movie on the top portion of the screen and just a huge black bar on the bottom.
- Sync: If you forward or rewind your clip, it seems that audio and video go out of sync. Anyone else getting this?
- Volume in Playing Music: When I try to hit the Volume UP key on the remote, the cursor goes to the right instead of increasing the volume. Is there a file I can configure to assign the volume to some other key? I noticed that volume works fine when outside the Music section (even if an audio file is playing).
- I don't know if it is a MediaMVP limit, but it will be cool to select a folder and have the system play all files in it (and all subfolders). This I guess is espcially useful for us Ipoders since our CD catalogs are automatically arranged in directories and subdirectories.
- Does MVP support 'resume' on video clips?

Like I said, the system is flawless on my PC, but I guess perhaps MVP has a limit. Are there any alternatives anyway to MVP?

Thank you!

:confused: I'd like to understand if I can map my EPG to my fta receiver and be able to change channels on the receiver using the EPG. Is this even possible? If so, how is it done? What components would I need and what additional software?

Thanks.

I must be doing something simple but wrong here.

I downloaded the 2 necessary zip files from the WIKI, extracted (installed) in the required GBPVR root dir (with default folders checked for skins, plugins dirs etc), it comes up in the Config OK, I can choose and set the settings, but it simply doesn't appear as a menu item on the Screen (yep, I have it checked as an item in the Config). Does it still one of the other MyPlugins to work as indicated in an old post?

HI all new here i just recently downloaded GBPVR and installed it, it looks pretty good, the only issues i had was the configureing part was a little andvanced for me but i think it is all set up right i am watching clear great qaultiy Tv and the schedule recordings are working pretty good so far. Time will tell though.

I was using Beyond Tv but i hated it, it required a great amount of tweaking and it would not save the recordings to MPEG2 format which caused allot of issues and not being able to record my shows and author them to Dvd. there customer support wasnt so great either.

I then switched back to the hauppauge software that came with my Pvr 150 and it wouldnt record the scheduled shows and that was the last straw so i unistalled that , i missed about a week of my shows :mad: i just hope the scheduler works great with GBPVR i dont wanna miss anymore of them.

Hi

I'm trying to write a varation on the Net Radio plugin. Looking for some help though. Can get a stream started, but need some help to play it while it's downloading. Looks like whatever I'm using to write out the file, is locking it open, and I don't know enough to figure out another way of doing it.

Anyone with any ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers

Anyone have any opinion on a good nvidida TV out card? I want to be able to do custom resolutions. Only used on the HTPC, no monitor attached. Currently using the onboard SVIDEO, but the quality is horrible.

After an update\reinstall of 94.13 I'm getting this error:

"An unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediatel

File or assembly name NativeUtilities, or one of it's dependencies, was not found."

This .dll does exist in the /GBPVR directory.
I receive this error after install\upgrade and during config.
I had a MDAC issue, but I resolved that and the problem persists.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I am missing some much needed TV.

Been using gbpvr for a while now. Everything has been running great and then all the sudden the motherboard died. I've got a new motherboard but you know how WinXP is. You gotta reinstall. So I have a spare 30gig that I plan on using as my c: drive and 2 160gig maxtors I'll use as my recording drive.

Problem is I had a different setup before. 60gig c: drive where my recordings went and if that was getting full I archived to my d: drive (xrecord). I still have all my recordings and my gbpvr files. Can I install the new version (haven't updated in a while) and move my records onto my new d: drive and then change and import the information into the db file and save everything I had or am I sol.

Thanks

Oops. What causes this one? Went to play around more with things and get this error. After wards, no more control.

Error: Method Not Found:Void MyMusicDatabase.Musictag.UpdateDuration(Int32)

I tried unzipping all the files again, as well as unzipping a new database into the GBPVR directory, but still get this error. Doesn't happen with your other plugins. Just MyMusic.
