Two a little bit annoying things to mention which previous version didn't have, but current has.

1) when gbpvr asks user to restart or resume recording playback, the background frame flickers one frame back and forward. I don't know, is it because of interlacing picture or what. This also happens when playback has reaced to the end of recording.

2) When the playback of recording has come to the last frame, the last frame is shown infinitely. It waits then user response on remote to press back/exit. It would be glad if there will be a timeout for about couple of minutes and then it itself exits to recordings menu. For example, I have setup XP to go into hibernation after 15min of inactivity. But when the last frame is still active, it never goes into hibernation and computer will consume power forever if there will be no manual human action.

Is it the issue of Intervideo codecs or is it the bug of current version, but when starting to view currently recording show, it begins to play from beginning and no rew or ffd is possible, also show length is reported as 0:00, although player counter increases normally.

Previous version didn't have this issue.

When watching Live-TV the previous version had a green bar on top of screen and a pointer which showed the current time position in the show. Current version doesn't have it? Or is it hidden somewhere?

ASUS Pundit-R / PVR-150 / XP / intervideo

Previous version (23) worked very slowly on Live-TV channel change (about 9 sec), but it worked. Current (90) switches channels like it should do (0,5 sec), but after switching between three-four channels, it stills with the first frame from chenged channel, but audio continues to play. Exit to main menu and again to Live-TV and again up to three changes.

Is it the of bug or ...?

I'm someone w/ a "why in the #### is it doing that" GB problem that most do not have.  In looking for something to help out, I can recommend Automate.  I had a copy left over from some kiosks my company was contracted to build.

This is for the ppl who need programs/system/services/etc to shut down, retstart, excecute cmds, et al.  It has some real friendly, and yet advanced and flexible, functions you can do in manual or wizard form.

For example, I need to restart gbpvr.exe once a day (to clear live tv files...the glitch).  I told Automate to, at 3:50am,

- press esc 2x, pausing for 25ms in between presses (to back out of live tv, if I left it on)
- close it
- wait 15sec
- restart recording service (for the #### of it)
- wait 15sec
- start it again
- make sure it has focus

Additionally, I can have it perform a behavior on error, or ignore it (eg, if it can't focus, keep going)

There are programs for free like pskill and visualcron I could combine to do much of this along w/ some bat files, but if you want a real handy and powerful tool, Automate works real well.

Hi-

I placed an entry into the RECORDING_SCHEDULE table and started waiting on the recording (35 minutes before the show was supposed to start). It didn't happen. I restarted the service and it started recording. Is the Recording Service not refreshing itself? Another thread indicated that it refreshed every 10 minutes or so. Is this true or do I need to restart the service everytime I add an entry? Is there a way to adjust the refresh rate?

Thanks,
Joel

Anyone working on a plugin that will allow for transfering tv shows between other GB-PVR users over the net.

When will the newest release of gbpvr arrive? It will contain the multiple-epg-on-one-pvrcard=patch I hope....

I just bought a MediaMVP.

Most natural thing I do with any music source, like a CD, is to pick a track that I like to listen to. I expect when that track is done playing that it will play the next track. Thats the way everything has always worked.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get MediaMVP to keep playing the next song once I've picked one. Am I missing something really basic? Seems like the only way I can do it is to manually select the next song after the 1st song is done.

I tried the Jukebox plugin to see if it would help. It spends a long time scanning my harddrive for MP3s and then seems to hang. Any suggestions here would be appreciated as well.

Hi all!

Thanks for taking the time to read this first off!

First my spec:

P4 3.0 HT
2GB DDR 400
300 GIG SATA
200 GIG IDE
Intel MB
Ati 9800xt (made by connect 3d)
Sound blaster Live 5.1 PCI (the origional sb live 5.1 card)
DVDRW -samsung
Haupauge PVR-350 Card in second PCI slot (as stated in manual)

I have the latest drivers for video, motherboard and all other devices - except sound card - see below.
I have xp sp2 and all the latest windows updates including dx9 and the latest drivers and applications for the pvr-350 from hauppauge website.

sysetm is very stable apart from within winTV2000 or gb-pvr.

The Problem:

Gb-pvr works great in all functions except when browsing live TV. It seems that about 20% of the time when changing channels it will unexpectadly make the screen from the video out on the pvr-350 go black and then both the video out on the pvr and the pc window will jump to the gb-pvr main menu screen. i.e it will just completly exit the livetv mode. If you then try to go back in, the video out on the pvr-350 will just go black again with no tv reception at all. The only way to get it to work is to restart the machine.

Wintv also crashes when changing channels - except slightly more often - hence i doubt the problem is the fault of gb-pvr!

I have ONE theory as i have heard of sound cards affecting gb-pvr and wintv before. The official drivers for my soundblaster live 5.1 are quite old - the latest available from creative but they are still old - over a year anyway. Am i best trying the micrososft drivers or maybe just whipout hte card and use the AC97 on the motherboard??


Any help is very very much appreciated!!

Thanks,

Peter
