Just trying to setup GBPVR for use with a MediaMVP for the first time and I am encountering several problems. The most serious one is that on startup on my P4 2.4GHz system, it causes the system resources used by McAfee's antivirus program to vary between 55 and 100%, slowing everything down. Any help for a newbie appreciated!

anyone know how?

Bit of an odd problem here

When trying to explore into some conflicts shown in GBPVR, it would seem I have overlapping programs.

I'm not sure how this came about, but somehow, I have 3 programs (exactly the same) at the same channel at nearly the same time (each one starting and ending 5 minutes later) - IE

3:05 -> 3:45
3:10 -> 3:50
3:15 -> 3:55

Naturally this lead to conflicts.

This is only happening with one particular program

Any idea what's happening, and more importantly any way to stop it and only go with the right one?

Thanks a lot

I like to use 10 mins pre and 15 mins post padding.

What happens if one show ends at 1830 and another starts at 1830?

GBPVR does not pick up any conflict - but will the second one not miss the first 15 mins?

Thanks again - customer support like no other!

Sorry if this was posted elsewhere, I couldn't find it when I searched...
Here's my problem: I installed gb-pvr on a PC running Windows MCE 2005. Everything works great, except when I start my pc, I need to go into task manager and kill off any process that begins with eh (ehtray.exe, ehrec.exe, etc...). Based on the help files I found for WinTV (I have a hauppage 350 card), these are related to Windows media center and cause a conflict while trying to access the tv card. So my question is how can I prevent these executables from starting with windows?
Thanks,
Paul

I reciently updated the drivers on my pvr 15o following instructions on Hauppauge's web site. I ran HCWclear to remove all drivers AND winTV applications.

I installed the new driver and stuff: PVR INF files: pvr150_inf.zip, WinTV-PVR Update: PVR150_22_22292.exe

BUT I missed the section on the bottom where it says: "You will also need to install #1 the latest WinTV2000 Application, #2 the latest Hauppauge Video decoders, #3 the latest Hauppauge remote control application and #4 the WinTV Scheduler ."

My question is - which of these do I really need to run gbPVR? After the HCWclear, I've only installed the latest Hauppauge remote control app. System appears to be running fine without having reinstalled anything else.

When things aren't broken, I tend to like to leave them be, but I'm wondering if I can improve my system by installing the Hauppauge Video Decoders... Or if there is some other reason to install the branded decoder?

note that since re-drivering, I seem to have lost the ability to use VMR7 and now run in overlay mode - Maybe that's related to the lack of the Haup video driver?

Thanks!

Hi everyone - With Dells at sub $400 prices (w LCD panels!) I'm think of replacing my somewhat tempermental homemade system with a new box.

My question. Should I upgrade system Video card to one that includes TV out? Or, of the same money, get an MVP and allow that to push signal to the TV?

Both options have advantages and disadvantages -No Itunes control through TV screen with a MVP. But MVP would allow me to remotely locate a noisy PC out of the living room.

What other things should I concider? Is MVP one more thing to go wrong? Is MVP's output better/worse that a cheap video card with TV out.. etc... Thanks!

Hi there,

My brand new MVP arrived today !

aaahh.. the smell of new toys....

Anyway, I decided to use a wire instead of wifi and in no time, got my MVP all set up...

After initial testing, my issues:

(1) I can't seem to skip forward on a TV recording (BDA card). My skip fwd is set to 3 mins. Everytime I press the skip fwd, all i get is a blank screen, and i have to reset the MVP unit.
Using the Hauppauge software, I can happily skip fwd and back with no problems.

(2) I have got 2 TV - first TV is getting the video from my PC (MVP server) 's TV out port. Second TV is via the MVP.
Is this an OK setup?
Reason I ask is coz I am using HIP to bring up GBPVR on my first TV.
But if MVP is already running a GBPVR instance, HIP tries to bring up the already running GBPVR instance - which is incorrect. What I need to happen is for HIP to ignore the first instance of GBPVR (for MVP), and start up a second GBPVR.
Can anyone think of a workaround?

(3) Divx files
I have tried to follow that long running "MVP and AVIs" thread
So not wanting to revisit it all, are there any common tips that I could use to improve Divx playback?
I find that I can't play certain divx files (the others were OK).

Hi,
I'm using GBPVR for few month, it's a great program, and I still want to add new features using plugins.

I'd like to configure "My Programs" to start a .lnk link to a program. I tried a lot of shortcuts and params but no one start in GBPVR, I've got the "Loading" message few seconds, and GBPVR back to the My-Program plugin.

The emulator part of the plugin works, I can start epsxe for example.

I'm doing something wrong ? Is there restrictions on type of applications that can be started ?

Thanks for advance.
Sorry for my english

Hi Everyone,
