I've posted before about the problems I've had with shows that butt up against each other, and with the pre and post padding. Something in the release notes for .9105 led me to believe that this had been addressed, so I tried it out, and I'm seeing weird things.

I have 1 PVR-500, so 1 card, two tuners.

I've set it up to tape three shows, A, B, and C:

A Channel 11 3-4
B Channel 12 3-4
C Channel 13 4-5

Each one has 1 minute before, 2 minutes after padding.

What I'd like to think would happen is that C wouldn't get the pre padding, and one of either A or B wouldn't get the post padding, and everything would record.

What happened this time is really bizarre.

A recorded completely, padding and all.
At 3:59, B stopped recording. The tuner then switched to Channel 13 to record C with its pre-padding. THEN, a few seconds later, it went BACK to Channel 12 to record B. In the process, it overwrote what it had already recorded of B: blew it away.

Then, at 4:02, B stopped recording, and nothing started recording C. So, not only did C not record, I only ended up with the last minute of B.

A Channel 11 3-4 2:59-4:02
B Channel 12 3-4 2:59-3:59/truncated, then 3:59-4:02
C Channel 13 4-5 A few seconds at 3:59, then nothing

Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

Interesting issue: I got COMSKIP working very nicely with renamerecording in my postprocessing.bat. But when I play a recording through GB-PVR (.90) on the MediaMVP it does not see the comskip info. Playback on the PC throght GB-PVR sees the comskip info and works fine. Any hints?

I hate to admit it but I ran out and bought the MVP after discovering GB-PVR. The thought of playing all these great videos and music filles on my Crappy 19" TV was very appealing. So imagine my disappointment when none of them worked to my satisfaction. No DVD playing capabilities really killed it for me. I have several non-US region DVDs that I love to watch but alas I'd have to find another way.

My solution was purchasing a new HDTV with a DVI input. Granted, this is the exception to the norm (I was planning on buying one anyway) but I'd still like to use an MVP type device for the 19" which has now been moved into the bedroom. Has anyone heard about another MVP like device without the limitations? Or perhaps an MVP2?

Basic info:
Using zap2it for my listings
Generating recordings using PriorityRecordings.exe and an associated .xml file
running rectracker %1 in postprocessing.bat
running rectracker -purge in postupdateepg.bat

after the show is recorded I get this in a log file I pipe everything into

Each and every Good Eats and X-Men scheduled recording is removed from the list =( any help?

It would be sweet if, we could have a modem in the pc and GBPVR could read the incomming caller ID info and display it on the screen when the phone rings.

I think some of the Direct TV models and some HUGE big screen tv's do this.  Its most handy.

comments ?  ideas?

thanks!!

Is there a hotkey for doing that during playback in video libary? I dont know how to it, if there is a way.
Great program by the way. I have skipped Meedio because of the GB-PVR. This works.

HI
I'm trying to get GB-PVR going using a VBOX tuner. It's installed fine but when I try to &quot;map digital channels to EPG channels&quot; I get an exception raised - the details are below - and then nothing happens; at the moment I'm stuck so any help is much appreciated.

TIA
Mark

First, I would like to say thanks to everyone that has been working on GB-PVR program(s). This group make the MVP great to use (unlike the Hauppauge software).

Now to my question...

I have upgraded to v.91, now my remote control back/exit key will kill the gb-pvr service but only when I am on the main menu.

Is there a way to change it ? Is anyone else having this problem ?

Is they a mapping file for the Media MVP that can be changed ? I would also like to change the function of the OK key in MyVideos plugging ?

Thanks

I have a dual tuner config using a PVR 150
and a PVR 350. In the Zap2it guide I have
multiple instances of the same channel, like
say channel 12 is in both guides. How should this work?

Should I be able to just see 2 channel 12's in my GB guide,
one being PVR 150 and the othe being PVR 350?

Should I try to remap one of the guides ,changing 12 to a different number on one of the cards?

Should I just delete 12 from one of the guides? ( even though
it is kind of nice having the both ,just in case one or the other
fails. ie.. sat or antenna)

I have tried remapping and just leaving the multiple instances of the same channel , (having 2 12's in the guide) but I get
a error ( object reference not set to an instance of an object )when I try to view the BB guide this way..

any help..

GBPVR takes 1-2 minutes to load. I turned off Virus/Firewall protection with no help. I have no trouble opening any other apps only GBPVR. Any ideas?
