I tried to use gb-pvr Version 092.11 and can't change the Audio Bitrate with the Configuration Utility.
If i set a Value other than 224 Kb/sec. every Recording is done with 224 Kb/sec. I took a look in the direct.ini and discovered that the change with the Configuration Utility affects the AudioCompression Settings. I assumed that the change of this value must affect the AudioBitrate-Setting.
Is there a known Problem or do i have a Problem with setting up the correct values?

Alright, Ive posted and heard nothing back. I have read that it is possible to develop plugins for GB-PVR in VB.net, and I have some experience with that particular language. So... The birth of an idea comes forth.

Would it be possible/not too difficult to make a plugin that would replace, or run with the snapstream software that would intercept the commands coming over the usb subsystem and interpret them for GB-PVR? I was thinking of getting a USB sniffer to see what the commands look like coming over the bus and then writing a little something that would look for those commands and then send GB-PVR the appropriate command (A sendkeys, or some sort of API command to have gb do what it needs to do)

I'm playing with the idea in my head and I think its doable, but I dont know if its worth it (ie, is there someway to get the damn thing to work that I havent tried yet? :confused: )

Any ideas on how to tackle this? (how to even get a plugin started?)

Does anyone knows if one can search for movie listing from the standard TV guide? Just like Tivo. You can show movie listings.

Is there a plugin for enhance search?

Thanks

Im not exactly sure that GB-Pvr caused this problem, but it started happening after I installed GBPVR. No matter what file format I use in Windows Media Player, I can never get any audio. Ive tried reinstalling WMP 10 three times now but without succsess. Any ideas?

(first post)

I've got:
Athlon 64 3400
1GB Dual DDR400
Abit AV8 motherboard
Leadtek 6800 Ultra

Ive noticed GB-PVR can use a hardware decoder. Im not at my home PC and cannot check if my hardware MPEG decoder built into my video card is listed as an option. Can I make use of the oboard MPEG decoder on my Leadtek video card if I buy a PVR-150 and use GB-PVR?

I want to build the best PVR setup that works with GBPVR. I just thought I'd copy the guy who runs the site.

So Sub, what is YOUR hardware PVR setup? Case/cpu/ram/video/tuner etc.

Thanks!

Has any one looked at the icon dispaly format that a google developer put out on the net but was quickly taken down.
Can be seen at various locations look for googlex
i.e

http://elliottback.com/wp/wp-content/goo...ooglex.htm

Any way I think this format could make a good skin.
No text is displayed until you mouse over or select then the icon increases in size to indicated that is the one you are on.

Any one else interested in seeing or creating this as a GBPVR skin?

Maybe I'm missing something, but whenever GB-PVR uses timeshifting or recording functions of my PVR-150 my normally widescreen video (i have my computer hooked up to a widescreen TV) goes into a vertical 4:3 letterbox mode. Is there anyway for the video to be stretched to widescreen like SageTV does? I love GB-PVR but the 4:3 timeshifting letterbox drives me nuts. If I stop the recording or timeshifting and go back to live tv through GB-PVR it resumes to fill up my entire screen again. Also whenever I play any recorded stuff it letter boxes as well. If I play the recording back in a MPEG plater that suppoer widescreen, the move isn't letterboxed and fills my 16:9 screen. Seems the only thing that gets stretched to 16:9 properly is true live tv through the overlay. Seems to me that the mpeg decoder isn't support 16:9 stretching?

Whats also weird is that if I record at 720x480 (which I think would by widescreen, I still get the weird letterboxed 4:3 display on my widescreen tv.

Strange thing is the WinTV software that comes with the PVR-150 does the same thing and leterboxes to 4:3 on my 16:9 screen.

SageTV is the only PVR software so far that seems to support stretching video to 16:9 when timeshifting/recording.

Hope I'm clear on the problem...

Any ideas would be apreciated...

I believe the keep five records is design to accept five records of a show and then STOP recording until some of those five are watched and deleted.

Here's an idea: Add an *option* that automatically deletes the oldest show and always allow a new show to be recorded. In other words, make it a rotating collection of the latest five shows.

WHY? Let's say I record Jay, Jay, the jet plane for my son. I'd love to have a little collection of shows "on-tap" to launch when I need it. I don't care if some never get watched (deleted before we get some TV time in) but a first-in, first-out option for this type of show would keep the group of five from getting too stale...

Thanks!

Hi,

I have started buying bits for a GBPVR Build.

So far I have a HFX Case, Including the VFD & IR Remote, Heatpipes and so on for a motherboard & graphics card.

Looking for some support and tips on what I should buy for the :-

Motherboard
Graphics Card

I was intending on getting a BENQ Lightscribe DVD Writer and I have a bunch of 250GB IDE drives.

I intend to hook it all up to a SKY TV decoder. I have a pretty standard TV and a projector for output. I figured I would hook up the TV out and the VGA DSUB to the projector.

Any ideas..?

How should I go about connecting it up?

Any other options I should be considering ?

Thanks !
