I've tried both looking through this forum & on the wiki but I can't find any information about how icons are gathered in MyVideos.

I've just installed it and I've started doing episode lookups on most of my series recordings, however it's not returning an icon image - is it because of the change to TV.com from TVTome?

Is there any way to set them other than create thumbnail, or an advanced usage of create thumbnail (as it's picked up the end of the opening credits on a couple of south park episodes).

Thanks in advance,

Can anyone help me figure out why i need to include a restart in my PostUpdateEPG.bat in order for GbPvr to record the scheduled shows.

I tried a sample schedule with cdk scheduler. It scheduled everything perfect. gbpvr main screen shows recording soon shows pending. when time comes to record nothing happens, the main menu continues to show recording soon and never records the shows after time scheduled. Later after show is finished gbpvr shows the recording as failed.

Now, if i go into gbpvr's orignal recordings menu(after i run cdk) and click update on the pending show and just resave it, it will record. Also, if i restart the recording service(after i run cdk) it begins to record the scheduled shows.

Any idea why this is, im so close to having this working.

I am using Compro T200 and it is working fine on LiveTv.

When I record the picture is garbled (though not constantly), and the sound misses every other second.

Is there a better MPEG2 decoder I can use. If I install PowerDVD for example will that give me another option on the decoderlist.

I am still a newbie when it comes to understanding this program and how it works but hats off to all involved, I really like it.
That said, I can't get my config utility to accept my password for web access. When I make the change and close the utility it reverts to the previous one when I reopen it. Other changes seem to stick with no problem.
Of course what that means is I can never get past the login screen. Unfortunately, I don't even know what the current password is as I don't recall putting one in. Perhaps there's a default password that I need to use the first time before I can change it.
I've downloaded and installed the enhanced version for web access and have done everything I can think off short of reinstalling the entire program. I have read many posts in the forums and most of the wiki and I haven't found the answer yet.
Is this a program issue, a Microsoft setting or the user? Can I reset this somewhere inside the GBPVR folders? I'm open to any suggestions.
(I'm using Windows 2000 SP 4, Athlon 2100+, Hauppauge 150 PVR, Firefox, Zone Alarm and an SMC Barricade router if that helps.)
Thanks in advance!

I am using both the Hauppauge MediaMVP (wired) and WinTV-PVR 150MCE.

LiveTV works via GBPVR, but I can't seem to get it to work with my MediaMVP. When I power on the MediaMVP it hangs on the "Contacting Severs" screen. It really doesn't hangs it looks to be stuck in a loop, it continueously tries to connect to the GBPVR MVP server.

I basically followed these instructions: Happy PVR to me, by Jordan

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to watch LiveTV via my MediaPVR?

I was tinkering where you don't like us to, but it may have been worth it.

In direct.ini, I changed these to 0:
Gamma=AUTO
WhiteBalance=AUTO
Gain=AUTO

Do these do anything? I'm trying to tell if it's my imagination, or if it just fixed a problem I've always had w/ natural shadows in the picture getting washed out.


Also, what would changing these do (config.xml)?
<!-- overscan control (zoom is floating point, offset is integer (pixels)) -->
<HorizontalZoom>1</HorizontalZoom>
<HorizontalOffset>0</HorizontalOffset>
<VerticalZoom>1</VerticalZoom>
<VerticalOffset>0</VerticalOffset>

The nVidia card stretches the picture a little too much vertically, and I can't seem to tell it to do just one side. I tried letterbox, but it is too wide. I'd like to just pull down the overscan from the top/bottom just a small amount.

Btw, I know I do these at my own peril.

I have a COmpro T200 card - DVB etc.

I see that it has an entry on the 'BDA recording plugin' in COnfig.

But I don't seem to have any BDA drivers - any they only for MCE or can you use them with XP?

The COmpro website does not seem to have any BDA drivers on it - where might I get them?

Thanks for help - real newbie on this

I just ran across GB-PVR and it, with "My Videos", seems like a pretty sweet setup, except... I'm have problems getting it to kick off an external DVD player. When I sniff the command line that was sent to the player (Media Player Classic) it still has "%FILENAME%" unexpanded. I assume this expansion is done within "My Videos", but just to be sure I checked the environment for MPC and it didn't have a FILENAME var.

Are other people able to run external players? I've re-installed everything a couple times and alll versions of the plugin I could find, but the all act the same.

Thanks.

Hope you guys can help me with this one - i'm really tearing my hair out!

After falling out with many PVR programs over the years (don't even get me started on MCE 2005!) I always liked the look of GBPVR. It's no nonsense yet funtional approach seems exactly what I need and the clean GUI looks great on the telly - it's only recently i've had the hardware to give it a go.

Am currently using 2 X GDI Black Gold Signature cards designed for MCE. I have the Cyperlink muxer and GBPVR sees the cards fine and has no problem installing them but when I scan for channels I get the following problem:

All the way through the scan it tells me that it's finding channels and the signal strength is over 80% but throughout the scan the preview window in the top right remains black until towards the end when It shows Sky Sports News for a few seconds followed by the hits (or it might be TMF - hard to tell in the small window). It then completes the scan and tells me no channels are found.

I know my reception is good and I have the correct transmitter settings and the card is obviously initialised otherwise why would it view the 2 channels?

I wondered if it might be something to do with having 2 identical cards?

They work fine with Media Portal and MCE.

It looks like a great piece of software and I'll be happy to make a donation if I can get it working.

Any ideas would be welcome before the wife throws the HTPC and me out on the street!

Hi I'm using an VIA EPIA SP13000 motherboard,
it has a MPEG2 HW decoder and a MPEG4 HW accelerator.

Is there any plans for supporting this feature of the CN400 chipset from via?

Currently I can only find support for this in linux
