I've got a problem with GBPVR. I've got no idea why it's doing this, but all of a sudden it has just stopped recording programs. It looks like it is recording, but no files are being saved to the hard drive. I've tried a fresh install, but I get the same thing. I've tried other software to check the Hauppauge cards and they are fine. Live TV works and I can play back old recordings.

I've got dual PVR-150MCE cards and I've attached the log files.

I just set up my first PVR and managed to solve all my problems thanks to the great info on the forum. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get this one figured out. I see the play list and when I select it and push load I go to the play list screen but nothing loads. I’ve tried several different formats of lists but none will load. Also when I push the red button on the remote it won’t create a list.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks
Derek

I saw something on this but never heard if it got resolved. I have a Plexter PX-TV402U and a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 on an AthlonXP 2000+ with 1gb ram. I finally had my two cards working together (the Plextor recorded the digital cable output with one Zap2it account listing, and the Hauppauge recorded the analog cable from a second account listing). I don't know what I did, but I now my TV Guide shows all the channels but no listings at all. I tried emptying both EPG's, removing each capture device, uninstalling the software and removing every reference to GBPVR in the registry. I even reinstalled an older version of GBPVR, but I still only get the channels, no program listings.
Frustrated, I installed the Plextor on another computer and it works perfectly. I can download all the listings, so I don't believe Zap2it is at fault. Is there some configuration file that gets left behind that I can't delete or what? Unfortunately, the other computer isn't mine, so I've got to get my machine's EPG working again (I can record manually of course, but that is time consuming). Any suggestions?

Sorry to add more to the fray, sub, but what's the deal with the conflict resolutions? I don't know if anyone else is still experiencing this or not but ever since a few releases ago, I've had trouble with my conflicts resolving correctly. A show stays in the Conflicts section even though it's been resolved (either through the Conflicts resolution method or resolving it by deleting the conflicting recording from Pending Recordings). Lemme know if anyone knows anything, please!

Thanks!

um this has be kind of discussed before, like when refering to mediaportal and gbpvr, the most common statement it "gbpvr is more stable, but mediaportal is prettier", i was just wondering/pondering how to make gbpvr more pretty (pretty is a fun word to say ), and i was wondering if anyone else has ever thought about this, and if they had had any ideas how to achieve this? like mediaportal does this thing that slides the menus onto the screen (i find this one annoying, but its pretty), and i was thinking of redoing the main menu to look more err informative, like a nice easy way of displaying a lot of information without being to cluttered (like jeffs (i think its jeffs) panel that changes). i want to be able to display a few things on the main menu
- notifications (if someone signs on to msn, or you get a new email, or someone calls, a recording is about to start etc)
- music playback (i want to show this whenever music is playing all the time, so if music is playing this will be shown ALWAYS)
- a newsticker (the current one is very smooth, this could be, and probably is because of how gbpvr does this)
- then just other useful stuff like how much recording time we have left, the current weather etc (this one should change).
- task images (like a video graphic for "Video Library" etc)

now thats kind of a lot of info on one screen so it has to be designed well (and at the moment no skin, well maybe the street etc ones) does this all that well. so whos gots some ideas on layout?

also for plugins do you guys want the selected file to scroll the filename if its to long to be displayed ? (look at mediaportal here, xbmc also does this, and probably mce)

any other ideas? i just want to start making gbpvr pretty (it looks kind of static at the moment).

sure pretty isnt everything, gbpvr is extremely stable (and thats why we all use it and not mediaportal) but we can make it prettier (see i told you i like that word) so thoughts/suggestions/want me to shut up ?

Could check boxes be put in for multiple selections in the Manage Recordings section? It just makes it a lot easier to select all the episodes that you want to delete from your Pending Recordings in one fell swoop instead of having to click each one and wait for the page to reload.

Would anyone have a copy of Big Brother form Sat July 23?
My system locked up and I did not get it recorded and the Wife is not happy.
Thanks Ron

Each time that I watch a recording, I have to pause/stop before getting to the end, otherwise the program goes black and I have to force quit from the computer. Anybody know why this would happen? After it goes black, the remote won't do anything (menu, play, etc)
thanks!

Hello,

i´m using a pvr 150 mce with an athlon xp 2200 processor, asus 128MB VT9520 video card, 512MB RAM and 80GB Samsung SV0802N HD, XP prof.

With WINTV all is going very well even the time shift mode.

But i want to use gbpvr. Here have the problem that every time if the program has a access to the HD the picture stops for a very short time. The problem occures in the following situations:

1. Live TV - while the mini guide is on the screen
2. Watching a video - same as 1.
3. Always while time shift mode

How can I solve this problem?

Hi,

I have a problem with the GBPVR and the Hauppauge PVR USB2. The quality of the reception is bad in record or live TV.
But with Wintv2000, I can record or view live TV with a good quality.

I can't understand why I have difference between this 2 software.

Thanks for your response.

Bye
