Hi !
I have installed my gbpvr system for 1 year but I had a tv card with no gbpvr-support. Now I have the Hauppauge Nova-S SE and have a little install problem. I see no tv picture on my mvp! :-) I see the channel list but mapping didnt work and on the tv I received the message, that my skin is miss.
I know the very small docu in the gbpvr wiki, but that didn´t help.
Can somebody help me and make a short step by step docu incl. osd (like XMLTV) and so on ...?
Hi
I have a symantec personal firewall. It wont allow me to watch tv for example because it cant the front end cant connect to the gbpvrrecordingservice.
What ports need to be enabled? i did some digging and came up with these:
webserver (whatever you chose in config)
GBPVRRecordingservice.exe remote localhost:3360 local 7968
GBPVRTray.exe remote localhost:7968 local localhost:3360
and created a rule for these, but no joy. :p Can someone tell me if I am on the right track?
I just recently built myself a media center (1.8GHz P4, 512MB) and have everything setup great. I installed GB-PVR (most recent version) last weekend and had no problems setting up the system. I am using software decoding plug-in (running WinTV GO model 190) and the Moonlight MPEG2 encoder. I have been able to record shows until yesterday.
When I go into the TV Guide and select a show to record, as soon as I press record the program locks (shows it not repsonding in task manager). IF I shut down the recording service and GBPVRtray icon the program comes back saying "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it". This is with the tray program shut off or activated.
I looked in the GBPVR.exe log the first time it hung and it shows after hitting record it was sending command to reset the GBtray recording service but it locked up. I even reinstalled the program and plugins and reset up the program but it still locks up. Any ideas? Like I said, it was running fine for a week then started hanging up. Thanks!
Is there a way to force VMR9 in live TV preview mode without editing filter merits ? I notice VMR7 (Video Renderer) gets loaded even though VMR9 is selected in playback tab. VMR9 only seems to get connected once timeshift mode is started.

Also can somebody explain the deinterlacing options available via preview mode. I cannot seem to get the encoder-passthrough method to work on my 150MCE.

I have started to create a perl module for accessing the GBPVR (and Video Archive plugin db) database based upon Class::DBI and DBD::ODBC. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use object-oriented interface for both reading and writing (w/transactions) to the database where knowledge of actual SQL or schema is not required.
I'm posting the initial creation here and would welcome comments/discussion, specifically:
Is this a good thing to have?
Will you use it?
Do you have specific uses in mind?
Do you have any comment on the structure (names space, method names, relationships, etc)?
Comments on TODO items in the doc
Attached is a zip with the .pm and docuemention in POD and HTML formats with many more details.
As a short summary, these are the table classes provided:
[INDENT] GBPVR::CDBI::RecordingSchedule
GBPVR::CDBI::Programme
GBPVR::CDBI::PlaybackPosition
GBPVR::CDBI::Channel
GBPVR::CDBI::CaptureSource
GBPVR::CDBI::VA::ArchiveTable
[/INDENT]
And here are a few snippets to help illustrate the usage:
Code:
use GBPVR;
# search listings for titles of Star*
@rows = GBPVR::CDBI::Programme->search_like(name => 'Star%');
# find recorded shows
@rows = GBPVR::CDBI::RecordingSchedule->search(status => 2);
# find and output details for pending recordings
my @rows = GBPVR::CDBI::RecordingSchedule->search(status => 0);
@rows = sort { $a->manual_start_time cmp $b->manual_start_time } @rows;
foreach my $row (@rows){
printf "%-20s %8s %s - '%s'\n",
$row->manual_start_time,
$row->programme_oid->channel_oid->name,
$row->programme_oid->name,
$row->programme_oid->sub_title;
printf " %s\n", $row->programme_oid->description;
}
I don't realy know where to put this so I ask in here.
I have a gamepad that I hoped I can use with GB. Are there any plugin or somewhere you can use the gamepad to navigate thrue the menues?
If not are there possible to do an plugin that can navigate thrue ALL the menues or just the one you write the plugin for?
Firstly, let me thank Sub for an otherwise excellent program. GB-PVR is very close to being a pay-worthy program. I think with enough people working the bugs out GB-PVR could offer some stiff competition. Anyways, back to my problem....
OK, the BAD :mad: : The sound loses sync with the video on LiveTV. No matter what combination of decoders I try, the sound will not stay synchronized. The included Cyberlink PowerEnema software doesn't lose sound synchronization, so this seems to be a GB-PVR issue. The following are my choices for software MPEG-2 playback:
===Video Decoder===
System Default
NVIDIA Video Decoder
Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder
The GOOD : Oh, WOW does my TV look good with the PowerDVD 6 decoder! Cyberlinkâs CLEV-2 decodes better than anything I have ever seen. The colors and contrast are simply amazing! And this is coming from a guy who has been using Dscaler for years! This is why Iâd like to get GB-PVR working with my Theater 550 Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I've visited this website last year when I was thinking about a new entertainment centre in my new house. We are moving now within two months. There has been an incredible amount of change during past year in this area.
I'd like to set up a system with 3 MediaMVPs and a computer-server in the cellar. I've been browing this forum for the past two hours, but I still didn't find an answer which tuner cards to buy that would work well with GB-PVR.
I guess I'll go with Hauppauge. But here comes the confusion:
- 3 Ã WinTV-PVR-150 or
- 3 Ã WinTV-PVR-150MCE or
- 3 Ã WinTV-PVR-250 or
- 3 Ã WinTV-PVR-250MCE or
- 3 Ã WinTV-PVR-350 or
- 2 Ã WinTV-PVR-500MCE
+
- 1-2 Ã WinTV-NOVA-CI-S pci (WinTV-NEXUS-S doesn't work does it?)
I have Windows 2003 SP1 on my server, if that's of any relevance. 4 PCI slots free.
The analog TV cards have pretty much the same feature set: I don't need the FM radio and I'd control the cards with MVP, so I guess I wouldn't need each card's separate remote (if choosing 500MCE). Or are there any benefits using native IR remote controllers (though they would be in different floor than the computer), and even if they did work how would each remote controller know which of 2 tuners in 2Ã150 setup to control?
I'd prefer 2 Ã WinTV-NOVA-CI-S + 2 Ã WinTV-PVR-500MCE controlled by 3 Ã MediaMVP, the question to you is whether it would work.
