Hi,

Does anybody know if GB-PVR allows pattern based recording? Instead of a fixed episod name I would like to define a search critiera that automatically selects shows to record, e.g. "Eastwood" would record everything that contains Eastwood in the epsiode description or title. At the moment I'm using Webscheduler to do this kind of recordings, but would like to move to GB-PVR recording.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me when or how to enable the 'Map digital channels to EPG channels' button in the 'Edit Recording Source' window ?  I have a working tuner and have created a dummy Channel Changer exe to test it.

I'm using GB-PVR v0.90.10

Thanks, Sean

Hi all. I have got my multi tuner setup working real nice now. I play recorded stuff through my PVR350. However, I want to start playing DVD's and AVI's (divx etc). When I built the system I put in a ATI 7000 card that has TVOUT. This is OK except the picture is in black and white but looks OK though.

I have done some research and I think I need a "RGB to S-Video and Composite Video Convertor" from Maplin. I can get this for about £30. However I can buy a FX5200 for that!! What should I do?

Should I stick with the ATI 7000?
Should I get a FX5200? Do you think this would solve the problem?

I have an Xcard but the OSD looks crap and is slow changing channels even with the watsit unticked.

BTW my TV only accepts Composite video.

Hi,

I have a liitle problem with the tv listings.

Here in Belgium, they have the annoying habbit to change the starting and end time of a show at the last moment. With the last moment I mean a few hours before the show starts.
Every night at 4AM I grab the xmltv listing for the next 7 days and import it in gbpvr. Every day at 4PM I grab the listing for only 1 day (today) to update the latest changes. This way I hope to avoid the problem.
But it isn't working. I get overlapping schedules.
I don't know if it's caused by the fact that at night it gets data for 7 days and during the day it only gets data for 1 day. It's obvious that I use the same xml file for the data.

I took some screenshots and attached it in a zipfile to my post.

Any help?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Via NEro I've recoded a DVD to an MPEG4 file, I can play it on my PC but not via the my video plugin in GB-PVR.
What do I need to be able to view the files?

I'm wondering if sub or anyone can tell me what the status column values in RECORDING_SCHEDULE mean?

Based on what I see I think the following is true (correct me if I'm wrong):

1 = Recording
2 = Recorded
3 = Failed
5 = Conflict

But what does a status of 0 & 4 mean?

Sub, when does GB-PVR determine the next show to record? GB-PVR obviously determines which shows are in conflict, but does it set a timer when the next show is to be recorded, or does it poll the database?

I'm running GB-PVR on a MSDE database and I've put in an update trigger on RECORDING_SCHEDULE when the status is changed to 2, I queue the unique_identifier from PROGRAMME...

This allows me to collect a list of recorded shows. The next step I want to take is to add a trigger to remove repeat shows.

Have been trying to get GB set up on various computers..started with a little embedded Via 1.2 Gigapro...with 512 Meg and WinTV 150 and XP pro it doesnt exactly fly but it works ok...Hauppauge's wintv2000 and beyond tv 3.2 both work fine, but I cant seem to get the remote to work right with GB,particularly on time-shifted tv...pausing and just restarting works okay mostly but everything else pretty much goes to crap...sound dies and live tv seems to run on ahead but no sound...I cant find much about setting/changing anything on the remote, I have just been able to enable it or pick a different one...saw another post about remote.ini...Do I need to edit this? where? how? just manually? If I could get the remote to work I would really like GB a lot better

is their any way i can install this. i am useing .net 2.0 beta framework. when i install it gives me a message saying i dont have version 1.1 and then it refuses to let me install. other programs i have that require .net 1.1 work fine with .net 2.0 beta.

Hi im using an evga GeForceFX 5200 Lite Edition with the NVIDIA DVD Decoder. I was wandering if id get better results using a faster video card. Like a 6600gt with the pure video technology? Does anyone know exactly what a lite edition is? are the tv outs on them of the quality of the more exspensive nvidia products?

Hi,

I've got a pvr350 and I'm having trouble getting the remote hardware installed. When I plug the cable in the card, the IR Blaster stays lit (I don't think that is normal) and when I run teh IR Blaster config program it says it does not see the hardware.

I've got 3 PVR150's set up in a server for a couple MVPs, so I don't need those IR cables, and I get the same problem if I try to use one of them in the 350. The jack does not seem snug, but it won't go in any further. The location to the side of the back plate makes it seem like the computer case could get in the way of the receptacle. I don't want to start hacking up the case unless I know for sure that is the problem.

Has anyone had similar problems? I don't know if I should bother messing with this or break down and get a USB UIRT. I'd rather not spend another $50 for something that I've already got.
