I'd like to have a way to organize movies on my hd. I have a mix of mpeg2, Divx (Xvid) and iso movies, so I guess VideoArchiver can't help me yet. And also earlier version of the built in VideoLibrary could only handle mpeg2 and did not have a search function (I think it can't do searching yet?)


Currently I use Xrecord and export everything into .dat files, so a first idea would be that it could be able to spider (on request and periodically) my file system for .dat files and incorporate that info into the database.

Secondly I would like to be able to search the database, and then play found files (including .iso, which I think Xrecord currently don't handle).

Not sure what I would like to search for, but I guess a combination of the information currently found in .dat files and imdb would be a good start.

Have anyone been looking around this?

Have been successfully using a USB-UIRT for many months. Then decided to upgrade to the latest gbpvr. That didn't go well so I deleted it and reinstalled the earlier version and put back the gbpvr.mdb and config.xml files I had saved.

Now my USB-UIRT doesn't work. These are the scenarios

1. When I select New device and the application asks to press --1-- key etc. The USB-UIRT doesn't respond at all. There is no light reflecting back from the device and the learning times out

2. I unplug the USB-UIRT and put it back. Now it responds to the remote control but gbpvr pops up a dialogue box message (words to this effect Timeout Waiting for UIR Thread. Click that dialogue box away and it seems that the key press has been learnt but it hasn't. This repeats for all numbers. I can save the result but in reality nothing has been saved at all.

I have even tried removing the USB-UIRT and reinstalling the drivers but that doesn't help either.

Anybody seen this message before and if so, what did you do?

As a last measure I have deleted the entire gbpvr installation (presumbly it clears out all registry entries) and reinstalled. Same problem - cannot get it to sense the USB-UIRT

Interestingly if I aim the remote at the USB-UIRT it responds okay (that is I can see if sensing the IR commands and sending them out). But as soon as I click learn new device and it pops up the message press -1- then it no longer responds to my remote

This is really bugging me since now I have no ability to change the channel automatically

Thanks

Thanks

I would love the manual recording simplified. I would love to be able to just click on the various settings with the mouse instead of using the keyboard up and down. I would also like to be able to change the default. Most stuff I would like to record isn't 2 hours. Thanks for listening to my rants.

I like to record stuff through external tuner. IE Camcorder, etc. I would like the simple feature of a one-touch button to begin default recordings and not have to start a scheduled time, quality or record type etc. It would just begin recording at the default quality (a configurable default because I prefer High Quality) and just push stop when we want.

Yikes

When I have both MVPMedia and MVPMediaSvc disabled and stopped,
(1) > 5 min to "connect to servers"
(2) black/blank screen when starting playback of tv recordings

When I have just MVPMediaSvc enabled and running,
(1) no black/blank screen - playback starts OK
(2) I can fast fwd OK
(3) But I can't skip 3 minutes forward - when I do this, the screen goes black/blank.

My setup:
(1) the latest beta version of MVP installed
(2) gbpvr 09310 installed

Have I missed something in my set up?

I remember reading a list of the most reliable TV guide providers but I'm not sure where Zap2it stood on that list. But IMO, it ranks near the bottom of the list. I've been getting a lot of wrong scheduled shows in the guide. It lists the wrong episodes sometimes and even the wrong shows. For instance, I noticed that on the FX channel, "Over There" and the other shows are actually playing in opposite timeslots contrary to what the guide shows. There's more instances of this problem in other occasions.

Is this just a problem with my guide or what?

NO MULTIPLEXER FILTERS WHERE FOUND ON YOUR MACHINE.

GB-PVR will not function correctly.




At least thats what it says. GBPVR works fine for me. I have a load of multiplexers in my bda multiplexer list. currently using happauge mpeg2 and it seems to be working. if i change it to ms dvr-ms, the playback gets jerky i think once in awhile. i havnt tried them all. figured i had a hauppauge card, the hauppauge muxer would be a good candidate.

point is. the checker says none installed.


xp sp2

I know that gb-pvr will do a composite signal, and that the ati theater 550 has a composite in, but I can't figure out how to view the composite signal. I would like to be able to hook up my ps2. I'd be happy if anyone had some ideas.

How do I add a radio station from net radio to my favorites?

Anyone know where I can find the current version of the My Pictures Plugin?

There is no mention of this plugin in the wiki. I found a link to the beta file in the forums but it says you should install the current version first.

Thanks
