After using the great piece of software called GB PVR, here are my wish list items

1. Allow a plugin to "watch" live tv
2. When watching a show that is recording allow ff/rw move the specified amount based on the config setting.
3. Create a preproccessing.bat file - or something like that. As soon as the show start to record run the batch file. I would like to put comskip in here.
4. If a batch file is run as soon as a program start to record, it would be nice for the system to update itself as the comskip text file is altered. Maybe every commercial break, or ever minute.

Thanks for considering my wishlist items.

Hi there,

I recently bought an AVerTV DVB-T 771. Contrary to some reviews that I have read on the 'net the hardware of this card is actually pretty good. I managed to install the card and software in under 10 minutes and it detected every available UK digital station, even with a signal strength of under 60% from my poor ariel.

However, the software that came with the card is not so good. Although it allows you to watch and record tv at reasonable quality it lacks any other features and only has a very basic scheduler which doesn't work anyway!

Whilst browsing the 'net for third party software i came across the GB-PVR site .

GB-PVR is EXACTLY what i was looking for (for my new media/entertainment box). After reading through the site I realised that my card was not tested or officially supported but after a bit of perseverance i managed to get it reconized through the software renderer plugin.

I now have the problem that everytime I click on the LiveTV button I get the error message: :eek: ERROR: UNSPECIFIED ERROR

Please could someone tell me what this means and/or tell me if there is a better way of getting AVerTV cards to work with GB-PVR. Also I am a complete noobie when it comes to TV cards but from what I have read I think that the AVerTV DVB-T 771 is a DVB-T card with WDM drivers?? Is this correct or not :confused:

Thx in advance:

I bought a Compro Videomate T200 (DVB-T card) with the aim of plonking it in my epia M10000 setup that sits under the TV to reduce the amount of cables and freeview decoders I have lying around. It turns out the M10000 just doesn't have enough grunt to power the Compro card, it constantly pauses every second or two..

So.. I've decided to put the Hauppage 250 back in this machine and hook up the external freeview box again, which seems to work fine.. However, now I'm stuck with a redundant DVB-T card..

I've setup the compro card in my desktop machine upstairs and it works away quite happily so I've thought I could install GBPVR on this machine too and control the epg over the network, which made me think - is there any way of telling this second gbpvr machine to work from the same epg as my downstairs machine?

Any ideas would be appreciated

I dl'd and configured gbpvr tonight (or this morning), and everything is working fine except for the LiveTV module which initially gave me the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. I tried using the nvida (trial) decoder and the intervideo with the same results. The best I could get was with to set deinterlacing to "encoder pass through", and then i just got a black screen. I then changed the playback to Overlay manager, and now I get a black screen with the controls that pop-up for changing channels. Like I said everything else seems to work fine. Recording, playback and guide work great.

I am using a pinnacle pctv deluxe on a machine running a 2.4g P4 w/512mb ram and an asus radeon 9600se 128mb video card.

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

When I open Xrecord I get

'Error:out of memory'

Hasn't done that before!!!

Any ideas?

Thought this might be of interest. No sure if it will benefit those using GBpvr but it seems likely. It is a firmware rewrite for MediaMVP

Hi All,

I'm using GBPVR v0.93.10. It runs great except for one thing:

There is a yellow number in the upper right of the tv display box that usually says "30." I'm guessing it's the frame rate display. I want to turn off the number since it is distracting.

I did a search in the forum framerate display, number and haven[t found anything about this.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I tried searching for this in other threads with no luck, so here goes.

I just tried to install GB-PVR v9.310 and received the following error...

Error 1606 Could not access network location
%USERPROFILE%\Favorites\

The install backs out and quits. I then tried using v9.211 and got the same error. All of my user profiles contain a favorites folder.

Any fixes or workarounds?

Thanks.

My set up has a Windows XP box that is running Win2000 just fine. I can see all the channels, detect them, etc.

Although I have done everything I can think of in config, all I get is bars and lines, like it is tuned off channel.

I didn't realize gbpvr would go into config upon installation. I was watching a program with WinTV2000 at the time, and with the input to the winPVR250 set to only one channel, 3. When the install started to look at all the channels available, it took me a moment to turn off WinTV2000 and to switch the tuner input back to the cable system.

Since then I can't get GBPVR to reconfigure itself to recognoize all the channels properly. I live in Canada, and have the source configured to the PVR250, Canada, and Cable. The tuning wizard can't seem to find all my channels, either, although it seems to find some at the high end.

I've tried uninstalling, deleting all the files, etc, to no avail. I suspect there is a configuration file somewhere on the system that needs to be deleted.

Anyone have any ideas here?

First of all, mad props to Reven for making so many great GB-PVR plugins. So here is my problem. I have a bunch of SNES roms that I want to use on my PVR box. I want to use the SNES9x Emulator since it is friendly with accepting remote commands. In the documentation, I'm a little confused with how to get each ROM to launch individually from GB-PVR into SNES9x, particularly how I should set up the Arguments. Here is my config verbatim.

Name: Super Nintendo

Executable: C:\Emulators\SNES\snes9x\snes9x.exe

ROM path: C:\Emulators\SNES\ROMS

Arguments:

Extensions: smc

Thanks in Advance
