I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this issue because I don't think the problem lies with gbpvr but with my card. When something records on the second tuner it records it in black and white and kinda fuzzy. I've tried reinstalling the drivers and rebooting the server but nothing. It still records in black and white and fuzzy. I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue or if you might be able to point me in the right direction to resolve this issue. I never installed any of the Haupaugee software so I'm not sure if there are any troubleshooting progs included.
I capture from my sky digibox through "Composite 2, External Tuner" using ".exe Changer Plugin".
My question regards Live-TV.
If I'm watching TV from the sky box direct to AV1 (scart from sky box) and then select AV2 (scart from PVR350) to view GB-PVR, when I select Live-TV the ".exe Changer Plugin" is run, this changes the channel on my sky box.
I think it would be nice to be able to control the MPEG decoder (LiveTV) overscan/size setting and the OSD size settings seperatly in the config.xml file for the PVR 350.
My picture looks awsome if I set my display size to 720x480 but the OSD is all messed up. If I adjust every overscan/size setting the best I can the picture no longer looks like it is at the correct aspect ratio. But this is with my TV, other people may experience better quality/results.
Guide2J allows me to setup Guides with different channels included. However, when I use "All Channels" in the XRecord it does not limit the channels to the current Guide.
Is there a way to set a range of channels for XRecord to choose from when deciding whether to record a show? Or even better, be able to choose which guide in Guide2J to use.
If not, I would like to add this to the wish list.
im adding "Stacking" to my videos (ie allows you to just play "Batman Disc 1" and once its finished, if "Batman Disc 2" is found it will play that etc), but i dont know how people name their files, im currently doing it based on the display name in my videos (the name you see, so if you look up a two part episode on tvtome most of the time is like "Pilot (1)" and "Pilot (2)"). also what type of stacking do you guys want, so far im going to try and get these working
- off (well thats easy )
- simple (same movie split up , eg "Pilot (1)" "Pilot (2)")
- series ("Justice League 1x01" - "Justice League 1x23" ie plays everything with the same title, starting from the selected file not the first file, so can start from "Justice league 1x20" - "1x23").
ill do the trailers start etc later, i just want to get this going now.
My Hauppauge PVR 500 is a little dark. Is there a way I can lighten it up just a bit? I can still see the video and its recordings, but its darker than on my tv. Any ideas? I haven't seen a setting for adjusting the brightness/contrast/color/etc. Thanks! David

I see methods to increase and decrease the volume, but I don't see a way to get the current volume level. It would also be nice if there was a way to set it to an absolute level.
I'm new to GB-PVR so please bear with me if I'm missing something obvious here. I recently attempted to configure a server / PC client setup by following Sub's instructions towards the beginning of this thread: Streaming to other networked PCs
I know this setup isn't officially supported, but I figured I'd throw this post out there anyway to see if anyone can help. After changing the <RecordingServiceLocation> and <DatabaseConnectionString> lines in config.xml, and the basic functionality seems fine. I can access the TV listings, schedule and cancel recordings, etc. I can watch recorded shows and they play very smoothly. Live TV, however, is a different story. After 5 seconds or so waiting for timeshift mode to initialize, live TV begins to play but it stutters very badly.
CPU usage is steady at 30%-40%, and the network utilization is showing about 6%-8% (I'm on a 100Mbps LAN). Both seem well within limits. Also, Live Preview" mode is disabled on the client.
I don't understand why recorded shows play smoothly while Live TV stutters so badly. Isn't GB-PVR's video player doing the same exact thing in both cases?
I think this would be a great setup if I can fix the stutter. Any help would be appreciated.
not sure if this should be here or support, but here goes
is there a way to stop the recordingservice and trayicon from starting at start up? i have a install on my development machine, which is just used to develop the plugins, i dont use gbpvr on it at all but, i have to control-alt-del and kill the recording service everytime my machine is restarted, i was wondering if there is an easy way to turn this off?
