Finally I built up my new machine, which I am proud of. Here it is:
Aopen Board, Celeron M, 512 MB DDR, 160 GB HDD (5400 rpm)
Hauppauge PVR 150, XCard (cool )
Win XP SP 2
no monitor, just the TV-set
Nearly everthing works fine (but it's still being developed).
Now my question:
The machine goes to hibernate perfectly and wakes up right in time to do some recordings (which I couldn't believe until I saw it ) - but...
...when the gbPVR screen is displayed on the TV-set when the machine goes to hibernate, it will not be displayed again on the XCard's TV-out after wake-up. When I exit and re-start gbPVR, the XCard works fine.
...so I could exit the gbPVR screen (i.e. stop gbPVR) after finishing watching, then the machine goes to hibernate after the configured time... but how to re-start gbPVR again after wake-up? Is there any possibility to start a program (in this case gbPVR) automatically after wake-up from hibernate? Or can I start it via the remote?
...in this case I would appreciate a possibility that automatically exits gbPVR before going to hibernate, in order not to wake up with gbPVR running (which leads to no gbPVR screen on the TV set).
How should gbPVR be used, particularly: *started* and *stopped* if one does not use a monitor?
I would really appreciate any answers and experiences...
I just installed the latest version of MyVideos from the Wiki (v3.1.0.0) and I'm getting a problem with initializing the plugin.

It repeats over & over until GBPVR crashes my computer. I really love the look and features of this plugin, but I've never been able to get it running. I have mydatabase.mdb in the devnz\gbpvr folder. Thanks for any help you can offer, Reven.
for anyone wondering if it is worth going to dvi, it is superior by far. Not only is it much more clear, but you get more options for the screen. I have the gigabyte 6600, and with dvi, i get setings for the screen that I don't get with the other outputs (comp and s-vid). You can set the screen size just by doing a percent stretch.
What would make my guide be 3 hours off? I have gb on 2 pcs, and on one, everything is ok, but the other, the time on the guide is 3 hours late. I'm using the same zap2 account and gb version.
Hello I started using GB-PVR this weekend and have become addicted to it. Thank you very much for the great software. I am trying to figure out the best way of recording shows and as part of the process I have noticed a discrepancy in XRecord.
I started using the TVGuide to record, but found Guide2J much more powerful. However, using XRecord there seems to be a discrepancy when I view a show through the Reoccurring information screen and the Scheduler screen. For example:
- on the Reoccurring screen it shows
- Start Time 3/28/2005 5:00:00 PM and an End Time 3/28/2005 9:00:00 PM
- on the Scheduler screen it shows
- Start Time 1900 (7:00 pm)
- End Time 1932 (7:30 pm)
The Scheduler is the correct time (although I am trying to figure out why it has 1932 and not 1930 as the padding has always been set to zero...possibly it is ZAP2it that provided 1932??) Can I edit the gbpvr.mdb file to change the time to 1930?
The above discrepancy is on all shows I have set up. All shows in the Reoccurring screen have a four-hour split but no way resembling the correct time.
Hello all. I had this same problem a few months ago with my pvr-250 but now it is starting to happen with my pvr-500 too. Tonight I set up GBPVR to record several episodes of Whose Line is it Anyway and Las Vegas. The first few Whose Line's recorded just fine, but at 10pm both Las Vegas and Whose Line stopped recording very quickly. The Whose Line file is only 18K and Las Vegas lasted 3 minutes (85,746KB). Information from the native.log is listed below (I chopped a little off of the beginning to make it fit) to see if anyone sees what the problem could be. If any more info would help, let me know.
Thanks,
Brian

I'm having a problem with My Pictures 2. There are no thumbnails for the images and no names. I clicked Scan and generated the thumbnails and it didn't work. I can still click on directories and when I click on the images they load okay, but nothing shows for the thumbnails. So I don't know which image or directory I'm clicking on. The database file is pointing to the right place "mydatabase.mdb". I don't know what's wrong???
I recently setup my dedicated HTPC with a Hauppage USB PVR2 and an external USB 2.0 80 Gig drive. I've noticed that the quality of my recordings that are saved onto the USB drive are of poorer quality than those saved directly to the internal drive. I have a hard time believing that I couldn't use such a setup since USB 2.0 has more than adequate bandwidth.
Is anyone else using a similar setup? What are your results?
And if anyone is wondering, my HTPC only supports one internal drive which is why I'm using the external drive setup.
