Twice now I have been trying to just cancel one recording (once a single pending and once a reoccuring) and my whole schedule for recordings is completely wiped out!
Kind of brand new at this. I am trying to configure new Plextor ConvertX PVR in GB-PVR. It seems everything is listed there except my piece of hardware. Any ideas, substitutes? I know on the Home page the ConvertX is listed but haven't been able to configure it in to the newest software. Thanks....
Everytime I try to manually record a show, I get a conflict and it looks like it's because GBPVR makes thousands of copies of the manual recording. Right now I have 366 failed recordings under the "Crank Yankers" group and probably the same amount of conflicts.
Since all the conflicts are for the same time (3/23/05 9:00PM-9:30PM), I can only assume that GBPVR freaks out and decides that it needs to copy this event ad nauseum. I wouldn't mind, but the show isn't ever recorded and then I have to go through and both resolve 366 conflicts and delete 366 failed recordings. This has happened too much for it to be just a fluke. I had the same problem earlier this month when I tried manually recording "The Daily Show," and when I initially setup GBPVR to manually record "Crank Yankers", I caught a conflicts that I resolved (or so I thought).
I have a few questions: How can I fix this problem? Is it a bug? If this problem can't be fixed, is there a way to delete a whole group? Is there a way to automatically resolve a bunch of conflicts? And if there isn't a way, I'd love to have a way to do this.
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to this program.
I would like to trigger an EPG update with GB-PVR running from "outside". So e.g. once the XMLTV file is updated, GB-PVR gets a signal (trigger table in database?) and starts doing what it does during normal nightly update. I don't want to have to do a shutdown and restart with command line parameter.
I would watch a recording and then when it reaches the very end of the recording, I get an error message and then it forces me to quit GBPVR.
Below is from the gbpvr.exe log file

I mentioned this in the 0.91 release thread, but basically a scheduling problem I had in 0.9 still remains. Obviously the 0.91 bug-fix that sub mentioned didn't quite do the trick
[b Wrote:Quote[/b] ]- Now correctly identifying conflicts with multiple capture sources on the one device.
The problem basically is that because I can't get a reliable xml source containing both terrestrial and cable channels, I have set up a separate capture source to deal with each, although as I have only one PVR250, they are both related to the same device.
My default recording setup allows for 1 minute of pre-padding and 9 minutes of post-padding. Â When I have scheduled recordings that directly follow each other (ie one program ends at 8.30, one starts at 8.30), GBPVR of course ignores this end-program padding. Â The problem arises when the first program is taken from one capture source, while the second is on the other.
What happens is that the first program records correctly, and if you look at the recording status it looks like the new program is also recording correctly, but in fact the second one isn't recorded at all. Â On reviewing the video from the first program, I see that the channel is changed at the appropriate time to the correct new channel, which is then recorded for the nine padding-minutes.
The only applicable error message I can find in the logs is one in the gbpvrrecordingservice log, where it registers an error at the point where the second show's pre-show padding should be starting:

I suspect that this will take a release-fix, but if anyone has any suggestions, they would definitely be welcome, as I didn't spot a few of these channel-conflicts and ended up not recording a few shows that my significant other had been following - oops.
When I open gbpvr, it fills the screen. When I hit the reduce button at the top right, I get the double box, but the screen does not reduce. Is anyone else having this problem?
I dont know you but I love movie trailers, sometimes more than the movie itself. Having said that, would it be possible to create a plugin that could download trailers for coming movies? I wish I knew how to code for something like that. I better leave it to those here who have done all those cool plugins we use today.
Most of what I use GBPVR for is recording tv programs. My kids have a little archive of cartoons and my wife records a lot of shows. The Recordings interface is pretty decent, but rather trivial things can totally disable it forcing you to use the extremely crude video file interface (no more recorded time, description, etc.).
A method of periodic backup w/ restore to an xml file would be reall nice as a minimalist.
A better feature would be an improved video file browser. I'm not sure if that's possible with an MVP or not (that's what I use). The current inferface is pretty minimal.
