Hi,
1st: great product!!!
2nd: most needed: idiot proof user-interface.

----------------------------
wish-1:
Now:
hauppauge-quickbuttons exist for tv-guide, tv, music, radio, video

missing:
pictures (button is present bur does not work)
recordings

Suggestion:
Combine recordings & Videos:
-> maybe i miss the point, but I don't see the reason fro having 2 groups with video's.

make button for pictures functional
make button for video, 'goto-recordings/video's'

note: if 'whatever button' is made available for recordings, i would be able to redefine irremote.ini myself

wish-2:
shortcuts to sections (above goto-funtions) functional from all places.
now:
- does not work when using live-tv

wish:
- works from live-tv

note:
- implication: mini-guide no longer under 'tv-guide-button'
i think that is a good idea:
-> my wife will understand better if all buttons work equal at all times.
-> Above change will make these functions 'idiot-proof'. NOW wife/child has difficulty to use them, because they do not understand when they work and when not.
Result: i advice not to use the functions (peace of mind)

Hi,

I have a new way of generating my XMLTV.xml so it includes al lot more information (e.g. description, Actors,...) but the Guide does not seem able to use / show that information.

here is an example:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

Is there a way to make this detailed information available, either by a later release of GBPVR or by a plugin?

\Piotre

Anny plans to support the new PVR-500 ?

And does it support 1x 350 + 1 x 250?

Cheers

Hi everyone... new user here.

I just recently discovered GBPVR and have the latest version up and running.  However, I'm experiencing some stuttering during live tv and sometimes during playback.  I've seen a few posts that suggest this is new behavior and that falling back to an older release fixes it.

Where can I find the older releases?  They don't seem to be available from the download link.  I'd like to fall back to the .08 release to see if the problem goes away but I can't seem to locate it.

Thanks for you help,
Tim

Hiya

Purchased one of these a couple of days ago and decided to give it a try with GB-PVR. Having looked around the forums I don't think anyones tried this particular model, so I thought I'd give it a go/

It didn't work straight away but adding this to the bda.ini file seems to do the trick:

[Lifeview FlyDVB-T]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=713x BDA DVBT Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=713x BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

I *think* thats all correct...

It seems to work but at current I can't pick up *all* freeview channels, just some, but I'll keep at it

Hi, I've using GB-PVR for couple days now(nightime) and its working great. I added/downloaded some plugins to make it more like a media center. But 2 of my plugins are not working. I downloaded Guide2j and findfast and both are not working. With Guide2j, i extracted the files on both the root folder(C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr) and Plugins(C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\plugins) just be sure but it still doesn't work. I still see the old tvguide. And with findfast, It's giving an error about the skin.xml(couldn't find something error message) I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks

I am new to GB-PVR and loving it. I just got my web page link figured out through my wireless router and it's great too.

If any of these things are already here and I'm missing it - please excuse me and let me know.

1. I'd like to see a list of programs that have already been recorded, with file size and program info.

2. It would also be great to be able to download it. A little redundant because you'd probably only do it from a networked computer - but I would use it instead of Network Neighborhood.

3. Be able to rename the filename - via the web without messing up that show on GB-PVR

4. Sorting by different fields.

5. A favorite list for online and ability to switch between all and favorite view.

Thanks,

mee don't nor what to do, mee english isn't that could and when yee gets upset like now, i ve tried the my vidy plugy lost memory and chip from intel was at 100 percent in use i do not want to uninstall then reinstall gbpvr again, my lad jacoup just rang me to say he has thee same problem, help mee

Hi,

Absolutely love the GBPRVR - fantastic project.

I'm in the process of trying to build a PVR solution using a single PC with a nova T card and a couple of MVPs to distribute around the house. I've managed to get quite a long way, but after a lot of fiddling around I've come unstuck on actually getting stability during timeshift tv or during recordings.

Here's the background:

1. System is:
- AMD64 3000+ with 512mb RAM and SATA HDD
- Nova T card

2. Latest version of GBPVR available on this website; Latest non-beta release of hauppauge MVP software; latest non-beta release of Hauppauge Nova T drivers and win2k software.

3. With this set up everything worked except live TV on the MVP (but it did work on the PC) and any timeshift/recordings (it would produce zero byte file size recordings).

4. I then registered the nov26 2004 versions of PDmpgmux.ax and mpgmux.ax. This then got live TV working on the MVP, but changing channel on either the MVP or the PC resulted in the screen freezing on the first channel (although the overlay would correctly show the channel I was changing to). Recovering from the screen freeze simply involved pressing escape to go back to the main menu and re-entering liveTV

5. I then made two changes: I uninstalled the Intervideo CSS mpg filter for Hauppauge, and changed the config in GBPVR to use overlay manager instead of VMR. This seemed to solve the problem of channel changing (although the overlay no longer comes up on channel change &amp; only ever appears when 'watch' is selected from the EPG). I don't know which of the two changes that I made solved the channel change problem (but will experiment tonight)

6. So far so good. The last two remaining problems I have is timeshift and recording. In both cases the system occasionally starts recording to disc OK, with CPU usage running at between 5% and 20% but invariably after a couple of minutes the CPU usage suddenly shoots up to 100% and the system effectively locks up and becomes non responsive (I have to keep the task manager open and stab away at the ending the GBPVRrecording service process and wait a few minutes until the CPU gets around to processing the end process request!. The file that gets recorded appears to be fine, at least until the system locks. At other times the system shoots to 100% usage straight away on hitting pause/record and doesn't record anything to disc.

7. I'm not sure where to go next in trying to solve this problem. The other problem - much less severe, but may be related is that the system is generally not enourmously stable when watching live TV, particularly through the MVP - it works, but after watching for a bit, or channel changing a lot, it will eventually hang and disconnect from the server.

Any help at all on where to go next would be enourmously appreciated. I will try and extract the log files tonight if I can reproduce a situation where the recording starts ok, but then after a while locks up the pc.

I have a donation on the way if I can get this cracked! Actually it's such a brilliant project, there's a donation on the way anyway....

One quick question - is it likely to make any difference at all if I install an MPEG hardware decoder/encoder? I don't have one, but could beg borrow or steal one if it makes a difference.

Many thanks in advance

guy.









, plus I have registered PDmpgmux.ax and mpgmux.ax

There has been discussions of writing something like a bittorrent client for gbpvr so users can share shows with other users. We also need to consider what it means to get a show in PAL if we have NTSC?

I wanted to open up a topic so we can discuss this.

Bittorrent is good, but I do not know how good it is for security. I do not want us posting torrent files to each other. That is too dangerous.

That got me thinking about waste. Waste is a private file sharing program. You create a waste ring of your trusted friends and it supports heavy encryption.

WASTE is a mesh-based workgroup tool that allows for encrypted, private communication between distant parties on the internet, independant of local network organization.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/waste/

Ideally if it has a remote interface command line or socket it would be really nice.

Thoughts? Has anyone used waste?
