I'm experiencing some strange problems with the EPG auto update feature.

When the hour specified in config for updating arrives, GBPVR wakes the system from standby but does not auto-update (actually, it wakes the PC 1 or 2 minutes before the hour). No errors are logged to the GBPVR log files nor to the screen - it seems like it simply wakes the PC and attempts to do nothing more. I assume that if GBPVR attempted to auto-update but encountered an errror (say, lack of internet/network connectivity), some sort of error would be logged.

If the PC is already awake when the auto-update hour occurs, EPG auto-updating *succeeds* without incident.

Thankfully, GBPVR has no problem waking the PC when it needs to perform a recording, so I don't think the problem pertains to the the PC's standby configuration.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

I discovered GBPVR 5 days ago, I was looking for an alternative to MythTV, which caused me trouble. My setup is running with a Hauppauge PVR 250 but an old nvidia video card.

GBPVR is nearly ALL i was looking for. It took my only few hours to set all correctly !

I only faced 2 minor problems with it :
First one, I can't use the mute button in my remote control. Irremote.ini is currently set to "MUTE=m", but i did not have been able to find the correct key in KeyboardReference
Anyone knows if it's possible or what is the correct key/code to send ?

Second one is my LCD, it's a MatrixOrbital but working with a serial (RS 232) interface. JaLCDS is not able to detect my LCD as it mainly working with parallel ones. LIS LCD plugin is able to send some data to my LCD but it's only crap and strange characters. I already write an PM to his author (currently assuming tybreizh29 user is) but i did not received any reply yet.
So anybody is using a 16*2 serial LCD with GBPVR ?

Anyway thanks for this wonderfull software !!

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking for anyone who tryed to get the Sound Blaster Remote control to work on GBPVR for channel changing, etc....

Anyone had any luck, or has any documentation?

I've searched all Creatives Labs Web looking for anything that might help, but no luck.

Cheers,
Eric

I am trying to set up GB-PVR with Avermedia M150. Now I get videos from Tunning Assistant. However I cannot get it up for following 2 problems

1. Trying to Watch Live TV gets "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" popup.
2. TV Guide has no content with following xml file.
<tv>
<channel id="HBO">
<display-name>HBO</display-name>
</channel>
<programme channel="HBO" start="20050501011500 CST">
<title>Matrix</title>
</programme>
</tv>

How to solve them ?

Thanks,
Andy

I've created a 3D looking TV guide for my TheaterV1 skin.

Here's a screen shot of it:


Also, the Live Guide has been updated a little as well.

I've attached the new guide skin.

Paste the three files into the "tv guide" folder inside the skin.

Hello,

I've started building up a collection of mpeg's from recordings. While most of the time I have converted some to xvid AVIs which are much smaller, I'd like the ability to sometimes make a smaller mpeg out of an already existing one.

IE turn an 800mb mpeg into a 200mb one? I believe this is possible because I have seen around 30 minute mpegs with a size of 200mb, the quality isnt quite as good, but still looks acceptable, but the filesize is much smaller.

How would I be able to achieve something like this?

Thanks very much.

Hello

I'm trying to configure ExternalRecorder.v3.zip, I'm running GB-PVR v0.91.12 (GBPVR09112b.msi). I've performed the following actions (several times) :

* Copied the files in the plugins dir into my GBPVR\plugins
* Ran GB-PVR config app and added a new capture source.
* Select 'External Recorder Plugin' as recording source.
* Hit 'Settings' button and get a message box "Please save the capture source first, then you can configure it's settings'. Hit 'OK' to clear message box.
* Setup EPG source for XMLTV and select XML file.
* Press 'OK' to save new source.
* 'Edit' source and select recording source settings button again and get same message.
* Save changes and exit config app by hitting 'OK'

When I go back into the config app, the new source is missing. Checking the Config.exe.log I found the following errors :

30/04/2005 17:14:14.939 ERROR [12] Error int SourceConfigurationContainer::LoadAll(): File or assembly name RecorderHelper, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

30/04/2005 17:14:14.939 ERROR [12] Stack:

Any help appreciated, Sean

Thanks for a great & simple plugin.
I was wondering if we could post the settings that seem to work best for different sized TV's, so we could just post a list on the wiki. It might be much easier for new users that way. I'm still experimenting with different settings for my 32" Toshiba TV, and will post results when I'm happy with it.

Please see the attached error jpg file.
I am getting an error about .NET and I am not sure why.
I have the 1.1 hot fix installed for .NET.

If someoe know where this is coming from and lead me to the right track that would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Attached is v5.3 of the Jukebox Plugin.

- added support for id3v2 tags
- added support for reading album art from id3 tag
- improved button handling code (green button switches between file list and now playing, red and yellow buttons do not pass their action to file list when changing modes (to match the behavior of all the other buttons)
