Hello -- I installed GB-PVR few days ago. It runs just fine with my Hauppage 150 card. However, I have *big* problems when I enter the timeshift mode. I understand that ^Q is used to toggle the pause mode, ^K to start recording, ^R to rewind, ^F to forward, ^O to catch up (I assume that it means exiting timeshift mode). On my PC, playing with these keys always end up in "confusing" GB-PVR: it will never really rewind, it becomes really slow, when it goes forward, it goes very fast and there is no way to stop it, and I eventually get a C# null reference error message, which brings me back to the main menu. Please note that when it seems "frozen", the CPU is generally running at less that 25%. First, I would like to know if anyone has a detailed guide on how to use this timeshift feature, in case I just do not know how to use it... Then, can someone please give me some hints on what I could be doing wrong? Maybe an installation/configuration issue? Many thanks to all. Jacques
I would be most grateful for someone to help me with the setting up of this software.
I am trying to make it work with a nova T card.
I can set the source OK in the config utility.
When I set the EPG source it asks for an XMLTV file. I have read the various posting but can I understand how to make a file up. There must be some simple way to set one up so that I can use the software. I have used the config.xml file in the gbpvr folder and then tried to map digital channels to the epg but nothing happens.I get this message saying 'You must import your list of epg channels' - where are they!!
I am doing something so simply wrong - some of the younger members must think this question is so daft!
Thanks http://forums.gbpvr.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=7#
Cool
If I understand this correctly, then all I need to do is create a postprocessing.bat -file to gbpvr directory and it should be executed after each recording.
But for some reason it seems not to be working. This is what I have written in the postprocessing.bat:
-------------------------
c:
cd\multimedia\gbpvr\
compress.exe
-------------------------
but for some reason it doesn't work. After the recording nothing happens..help please :confused:
I realized most of my posts have been complaints. So I wanted to chime in on a positive note and say this program is EXCELLENT! It runs nice and snappy on my somewhat slow machine, the layout is logical, it looks great, and is relatively easy to set up (until you get in to all the plugins!).
Thank you for providing a GREAT service! This is about the best free program I can think of!
I've run in to this several times. Everything looks fine but after a certain point all recordings are simply zero-byte mpegs on my hard drive. If you go in to "recordings" or "Xrecord" everything looks OK but when you go to play the video it either immediately goes back to the previous window (Recordings) or does nothing at all (Xrecord). Nothing is labelled "Failed" and the Recording status moves on to whatever is next and is not locked up. It just creates zero-byte files.
Anyone know what could be wrong? This happens about once a week. Here's the only problems I've been able to find. The last one is closest to the time I THINK it stopped creating real files:

Or some error like that. Frequently when I try to manually record using Guide2J I get an error something like "Something not set to reference of object".
This is what the log looks like. The first error is probably unrelated, but I'm including it just in case.
Thanks in advance!

Some of my recordings show an incorrect length on playback. The same length is shown in the OSD and also WMP - I also just scanned one with PVAStrumento and it also shows the wrong length. The recordings playback absolutely fine for the correct time and I can FF/RW all the way through.
The recordings are ones done on Tuner 1 of my PVR500 - the PVR350 ones are always OK and I believe that Tuner2 on the 500 is OK too (I'll do some more tests to confirm that as it's the one that is least used).
Any ideas why this might happen? The only real downside is that if I stop playback after what GB-PVR thinks is the end time, I can't resume from where I left off. It's a minor niggle that would be nice to get to the bottom of.
v0.91.8 (not the lastest, but none of the recent updates would seem to have gone near this)
I'm consistently having difficultly fast forwarding past about 2:30h in long recordings on the MVP. Everything's fine upto this point, pressing FFwd after about 2:30 results in the playback skipping to near the start of the file.
Sub, I remeber a long, long time ago there was a problem with some counter or other overflowing - I've had a look in the logs and can find no errors.
I think (hope) this is the right part of the log:

this is my first post so I must say it's a realy great program you have here. There are allot of good plugins and the program runs very smooth.
Q1: My Programs.
I have tryed to get fcue emulator to work but I get error that is related to the spaces in the file name. It only read the first name. I use it without any argument and with %ROM% only.
I run zsnes and it works just fine without any problem with the spaces.
Q2: RssReader
I was searching the net and find a discussion about RssReader and comic plugin and they talked about the implementation of comic in RssReader is this correct?
Then I whounder if you can get the comic into RssReader. I have only seen that Dilbert work. I have tested some more but I can't get it to work. I have tested with bigger thene cheeses, megatokyo and some other but I can't get it to work. Is there possible to get them to work in RssReader or must there be another plugin to handled that kind of pages?
Q3: Comic
When I try to run this plugin I get error that say something that row 3 arg 3 blah2 is missing. Or something simular. If this is implemented in RssReader then this is not an problem for me.
