Wish there was a SLEEP option similar to the SLEEP function with the shutdown plug-in. I normally shutdown (hibernate) my PC remotely to conserve energy using the MVP but sometimes I fall asleep and the PC is left the whole time. It will not hibernate since GBPVR is still running on the MVP. To the Shutdown PLUG-IN developer, please add this feature.

Thanks.

Hi, am wondering if anybody else encountered this problem with some channels. I have included a short captured video to really describe the problem. I have included 2 images of the new distorted image and 1 of the image previously.

First of all, I never had this problem with this channel, I do have this problem with some other channels that I don't really watch. All of a sudden, without notice, the distortion appears. I hope somebody can help me with this, I tried the Tuning Assistant and Freqcopy but still nothing. I have the PVR-500MCE on a WinXP Pro SP2 machine. Could this have anything to do with PVR-500MCE not being compatible with WinXP Pro SP2, I did have couple of problems before with the drivers when I was installing it. Although, I have been using the PVR continously for 1 month without this problem.

Any help is most appreciated. If it's tuning, is there a software that will help me manually fine-tune the frequency/Adjust Vertical and horizontal hold.

Thanks

Hi,

This is my second day with the GB-PVR and I absolutely love it (I am running it on an ATI Wonder Elite / Theater Pro 550 Card with Cyberlink Video/SP MPEG2 Decoder).

I have a problem though with playing a video that's being recorded (in pending folder of Recordings menu). When I play the video, I get a black screen and the application hangs. I am required to kill it. It's quite strange. This is what I see in the GBPVR.exe.log file:

When I try to open the file with Windows Media Player, it says the file is in use by another application and I can't open it. Has anyone experienced this problem? What did they do to resolve it?

Thanks,
Nick

is there a way to manually force a video size in gbpvr? I recently upgraded to 94.13, and it no cuts off the edges in live tv and in recordings.

Sub,

I have been having problems when I stop watching a video (mpeg2). The video stops immediately and then I get back to the video menu. If I hit any button on the remote, then the mvp reboots to the "connecting to servers" screen. I then can't get back in to the mvp for a few minutes. If I use the original hauppage software (with the same dongle.bin), I don't get this problem.

I get this problem with two different servers and I didn't get it with 92.11. Is there any way I can get back to that version (I can't find a download for it and I didn't keep my file)?

Any other ideas? Also when this happens, I lose netradio (a problem you helped me with before).

Here is the last bit of my Config.exe.log (is that the file you need?)

Thanks,

Bigbus

Hi,

I have been wondering about something for quite sometime. Because I did not want to ask a stupid question I have been postponing posting the question here. But all googling and reading the wiki and this forum did not get me anywhere.

On all the screenshots of Xrecord and other screenshots on this forum etc. I see all those nice pictures of tv shows. While I do not have any. (only the "click here to submit......" thumbnail)

I do not have one single picture but was under the impression I had to obtain artwork for series folders manually. But on the xrecord changelist I see something related to image downloading and some posts on the forum also seem to be pointing in that direction.

What am I missing here? I do not have one single picture in xrecord (not even for shows like CSI and Las Vegas). Am I supposed to download them manually or is there a different way? Do I need to set up something?

Help would be much appreciated

Hi,

I've a big problem with gbpvr recording-source management:

I'm using the german version of the pvr500 for pal.
My external pay-tv receiver works on card #1.

In the config I have 3 sources:

- Source one at card #1 with fm tuner (free cable channels)
- Source two at card #1 - composite external (pay tv)
- Source three at card #2 (free cable channels)

Now, this happens:

I hear FM-Radio. Card one is used. When a new recording starts, gbpvr uses the frist tuner. The recording fails! GBPVR does not use the third source for the recording.

The second problem:
gbpvr starts recording at source one. Some minutes later, a recording for pay-tv on source two begins. Both recordings are just black screen...


I think, the solutions would be a priority-management for the sources. It would be fine, if can set source number 3 as primary source for standard cable channels. Source one is only used for fm-radio or paytv.
I think, this problem does not happen at the american source, because the fm-tuner is on card #2 in this version.

Is there any solution ??

Bye,
Sebastian

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.
