Starting to play around with plugin dev and getting stressed with C# (used to VB and Java). Why when I write this in C#

curArtistPath= (@"C:\")

its ok. but when I write this

curArtistPath= (@"C:\plugintest\")

i get a "cannot find part of the path" error

Since I couldn't seem to get rewinding working right, and when I fast forwarded there was no way for me to get back to normal speed/etc., I have am trying to use the "short skip instead of FF/RW" option. For FF'ing it works fine, unfortunately when I press the rewind key on the remote nothing happens. If I press the hotkey (CTRL-R) on the keyboard, it also does nothing. If, however, I use the mouse and click on the rewind button it does the 10 second jump.

The normal forward and reverse jumps work fine, it's just this one thing it seems.

Does anyone use there FM radio on there PVR150MCE with any real success? It seems that when I have the included antenna plugged in it knocks out 5-6 stations because of interference it seems to be causing.

Any ideas on stopping that from occuring, or do I just kind of forget about it? (the radio)

please ignore

I have installed GBPVR and it works ok. Under XP I have followed the guideline for "Startup GBR automatic", (or something like that).
Anyway, running GBR in that way, as the only shell, creates a problem. Powermanagement stops working. XP forgets to initiate power management schedule and it wont go "hibernate".

So If I start GBR in that way it wont hibernate.
If I start explorer.exe in "GBPVR" shell and then kill explorer.exe, hibernate works (but just once). If I start my computer again after "hibernate" it wont hibernate until I starts and kill explorer.exe again.

So... is it a way around for this little problem.

Hi @all,

I have to decide between two dvb-t pci-cards:

pinnacle mediacenter 300i
compro videomate dvb-t200

I found out that the pinnacle card is supported by gb-pvr, but the compro has cooler features (like the "power switch" which can turn on your pc (real power on, no stand-by) sceduled). but is this card supported?

Thanx for Infos

Hi all. I'm new to all of this PVR stuff, so I hope you'll suffer my ignorance.

I have Windows XP, and I want gbpvr to run well, and I want a remote that works well enough that my wife can pretend that there isn't a computer running the TV.

I first bought a Sapphire ATI Theatre 550 card, which seems to work well (and only cost $100 CAD). I haven't been able to get the remote to work very well (if you set gbpvr to think the remote is an MCE remote it sortof works)... but I need it to be better.

I'd never heard of Hauppage before, but it seems like everybody in the PVR community knows them well. I could take my 550 back and get a WinTV PVR 250. This would come with a remote that I think would work perfect. What about the tv quality though? Better? Worse? Also; it is almost double the price of my ATI 550.

I'm really lost in all of this; at the end of the day, all I really want is a gbpvr setup that is robust and easy to use. I have had problems so far like:
- pressing the wrong button on the remote causes me to lose audio, and I can't get the audio back without leaving the video and coming back.
- sometimes things get goofed up and I try to watch TV and I only get a black screen
- sometimes things get goofed up and I try to watch a video and it opens in a window instead of full screen, frozen on the first frame, the audio track maybe keeps going... I have to force-quit gbpvr.

I don't want problems like this My wife has to be able to use the system comfortably, or I have failed.

I realize this post is a little scattered, but can anyone help?

I tried updating the EPG and it still did not go beyond Monday. I have it setup for 8 days. So I"m not sure what is going on. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? Is there another thread on this issue? Maybe it is zap2it?

I'll keep an eye on it.

Hi there, trying to set up my first pvr. i will run you through my plans and you guys let me know if their is a better/cheaper way to set this up.

I have a AMD 2000XP with a Hauppage PVR 250

As a student i am somewhat on a budget

i wish to connect my PC upstairs to the NTL Cable TV downstairs and access the PVR features from the downstairs TV.


I plan to do this by connecting a DigiSender (from argos) via scart the NTL cable box downstair. this will send the signal upstairs to another Digisender by the computer which will then connect to my PVR Card (although i will have to convert the scart to svideo). The Computer is running GBPVR and the output is transmitted via the network to a MediaMVP by the TV.

The transmitter also allows IR signals to be transmitted and as it is a moden Samsung STB i asume i will only need an IR blaster upstairs by the computer.

Will this work?
Is there an easier or cheaper way?

Any Advice?

Many thanks.

:confused: Upon hitting the "Live TV" button in the main GB-PVR Menu, I keep getting the "Error: An invalid argument was supplied" message.

Please help... I can't wait to use this thing...

Peace!
Robin
