Programming the PVR using TV Guide is a very cool thing.
However, most of the programs begin a few minutes (at least 5 minutes) later because of commercials at the beginning. They are also interrupted by commercials. As a matter of this, the programs usually end at least 10 minutes later than written in TV Guide. I always set my VCR to record 20 minutes longer.
Is there any possibility to set this in GBPVR when programming recording using TV Guide? Thanks.
I have some code that records any audio stream from the internet that you web browser will play. This is simply a front end for kicking off a web browser and the Total Recorder application (captures the playing audio stream).
The audio is saved to disk as MP3's so that I can listen to them via GB-PVR on an MVP using a plugin that I've written for the purpose.
Many of these recordings are fairly long (up to 3 hours or so) and it would be really useful to be able to skip forward and restart at the point where you left off, in a similar way to playing video via GB-PVR. Please correct me if I'm wrong but there does not appear to be an API to allow me to do this.
Is there a way that this can be achieved using GB-PVR as is, if not is it possible to add an API to allow plugins to be developed that will allow this functionality to be added ?
For those who loved the simplicity of MusicAlbums Plugin I have posted my updated version called Music Albums II (MAP2). I have tested it against the latest GBPVR release on my home system. It all seems to be working fine. As a summary of the features I have added:
Version 0.5
Configuration
- Delay before displaying song lists
- Multiple sources for music files
Plugin
- Loads albums/MPU3 from multile source directories defined by the configuration
- Does a recursive walk through each of the directories looking for playlists and music files. Any folder that contains music files is considered an album.
- Display of the album list and song lists are delayed to give better initial response and to allow faster navigation of the album list. The delay is set in the configuratin panel.
- Navigation is simplified. Use UP/DN arrow to browse album/song list. Use right arrow to go from Album List to Song List to Now Playing List. Use left arrow to go back. Use select key to add an album or song to the Now Playing List. Channel UP/DN give paging in album/song list. The colored keys on the Hauppauge remote shoudl be the same as MAP. Yellow = Pg DN; Red = Pg UP; Blue = select; PAUSE will pause; PLAYwill resume from Pause; STOP will stop everything and clear the Now Playing List
- Some clean up on file name handling
There are a few items I would still like to do:
- Support for ID3V2.4
- Edit of Now Playing List (Music Queue)
- Undo Last add
- AutoPlay for operation without having the TV turned on
- Maybe a simple playlist editor
- Shuffle Play
I've been watching a DVD and all of a sudden, subtitles came up. Subtitles are not checked in the config section. ON this specific dvd, i went in and turned off closed captioning and it didn't take care of it. I went back to that menu and just to check, i checked "spanish Closed captioning" And when i went back to the dvd, now i have a spanish and an english subtitles. In fact, when i have "subtitles" enabled on the dvd, i get two sets of closed captioning on top of each other. It's as if GBPVR is somehow finding the closed caption stream and putting it apart from whatever the dvd is doing.
I tried pressing CTRL-G and the green key ( i read somewhere that that's supposed to toggle it, but it didn't)... anyone have thoughts?
So I had it working pretty sweet for a day and now I can't GBPVR to start up. If I turn on the config tool I get the following error:
Unrecognized database format 'C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.mdb
Below is what the JIT debugger displayed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

(Sorry if it's a repost...I posted one earlier but it didn't look like it showed up)
I would like to be able to watch my digital Rogers Cable box using the s-video in and control it with my PVR150 IR blaster. I would also like to be able to watch regular cable using the normal tv tuner of the card.
In the end, I want to make my PVR150 into a "dual" tuner so that I can watch analog tv and record digital TV or vice versa.
Does anyone know how to do this or if it's even possible?
I found GB-PVR on the web and was really interested, I installed it, configured it, and got a guide up and running. When I watch TV, it just hangs up and stops responding. I searched the forums for an answer, but no solution helped. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. thank you.
Any reason why a recording would plant itself in the gbpvr directory rather than where the configuration told it to?
My config is for recording in c:\myvideos and livetv buffer to c:\ (I know stoopid directories, but just moving from MythTV, and checking out Meedio and GB-PVR - GB-PVR is winning!!!)
But after a 10 minute manual recording, the file plonked itself inthe gbpvr directory. I am however on .92 and just about to load .94
