Got my second PVR-250 installed finally.
Now I can record two shows simultaneously, no errors about conflicts, and I can watch a previously recorded show at the same time. All from within GB-PVR!
I love this app
Now we'll see if RenameRecording can rename both, when they end at the same time...
Edit: It does!
Sub, any possibility of adding support to use the FFDShow audio filter while doing recording. Basically, I see this as a work around to the audio setting problems that occur with the Lifeview drivers. This would allow resampling of the audio to the correct hz setting instead of being stuck at whatever the driver decides is the best. Resampling the audio doesn't take much in the way of CPU usage, and it could be made a configuration option so that it could be turned on or off.
:mad: :eek:
My !@#$% hard drive ran out of disk space last night, so while I was merrily running my daughters around to softball practice thinking I'd be able to come home later and watch Survivor, my PC had other ideas.
Does anyone that recorded it also have a way that I might download it? I know the odds are low but I thought I'd ask. Me and my three daughters will be indebted to you.
Just purchased one of these from Maplin. Neat little unit :o but the software is terrible :mad: . You can not place the channels in any sensible order and the EPG does not work. Hence, I would like to use it with GBPVR but have not had any success so far. The DVB-T USB appears to come with BDA drivers but GBPVR does not seem to find the unit.
Does anyone have any experience of this unit or can suggest which settings on GBPVR to use?
Has anyone got any USB connected digital unit working with GBPVR as I could swap my V-stream unit for that?
I have 2 machines, each with a Nova T. I have adigi-guide pluin to interface with WinTV allowing recordings. Further, I have 2 MVPs around the house used to view recordings as well as downloaded movies(.avi) and music(.mp3) from the Internet <legal of course>.
I would like one central 'reliable' piece of software to handle all my recordings. Lets face it WinTV isn't the most reliable software in the world. Does GB-PVR do this ??? And if so...is there an easy installation guide specific for Nova T and MVP.
I looked into them since I want to avoid duplicate recordings. I installed them both following reading the wiki and various threads but am not sure I needed them both!
I have got the priorityrecording file sorted and now the scheduler has all the right episodes highlighted, but I am having difficulty getting any recordings to actually happen.
I am wondering if this is due to changes required to the config file - the wiki suggests that with Xrecord I need 'To change the xvideo path edit the config.xml'. I'm not sure what the xvideo path is and what I should edit it to.
Attached is my config file. I am guessing the line to edit is:
I tried changing 'RecordingRemote' to 'PriorityRecording' which seemed to allow recordings (sometimes) but not Live TV to work. Changing to 'XVideo' meant nothing worked! Any help as to what I need to edit it to (if anything) or whether I am going about this all wrong would be great.
Brilliant product and found just in the nick of time. I was about to order a copy of Sage TV!
I thought I would post a message of what I have been doing with GB-PVR.
I have a serial relay box connected to my home PC which is able to turn on and off various things around the house - lights, heating etc.
I decided I would have a go at knocking up a quick plugin that would control this relay box. Luckily I had already written a .Net webservice that takes care of all the com port stuff controlling the relay box so adding this functionality to a plugin was simply a case of adding a reference to the webservice.
I now have the plugin up and running on GB-PVR and for the first time the girl friend finds it simple enough to use!
The best bit about it is that because the plugin just calls a webservice to control the relay box, it means I can switch on the heating from a GB-PVR running on my work PC so the house is all toasty by the time I get home!
Again, great product and thanks to Sub and everybody who posted the various items on the forum that allowed me to figure out how to write a simple plugin.
For some reason, GBPVR always works in full screen mode, irrespective of what the Show in Windowed Mode box is set to in config. I've checked config.xml and it matches the settings in the config app. Its not a major problem i'm posting this for info mainly, but it can be handy to put GBPVR in windowed mode when I am accessing the PC over UltraVNC as it speeds up the window refresh rate.
Would it show as an error in the logs, as I can't find anything?
Hi @all,
currently I´m using GBPVR with a PVR350 and all works fine.
As I will move house in the end of 2005 I have the problem that in the new house there´s no cable-TV.
So I´m forced to use digital SAT.
I read that GB-PVR supports cards with BDA driver support.
Now there came up some questions :
- which card is the best ? I´m very content with Hauppauge, so my favourite is the NOVA-S.
- are there any plans to support also the NEXUS from Hauppauge ?
- does GBPVR use the EPG transmitted in the DVB-S stream ?
- If not : How is it possible to get the EPG out of the satellite data ? Maybe by using some tools or something like that to get an XML file for GBPVR. The tools I found for doing this task only work with Premium-Cards, and they have no BDA support AFAIK....
I was reinstalling GB and i am now getting the following error message in a .NET Framework dialouge box:
unrecognised database format C:\programfiles\dvnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.mdb
This happens as it gets to the end of the installation. If i click continue the program loads but there is no data in the drop down menus.
The full details from the debugger is below:
