Hi- first post on here, so please be gentle!!

I'm based in the UK and I've been a long time user of TV cards/capture devices on my PC-I currently have a Tevion Xpert pci card and a Skystar 2 satellite pci card running off my motorised dish set up-both of which I use succesfully to capture in MPEG2 and burn to DVD or playback via my video card's TV out function.

I've recently been giving some serious thought to building a dedicated PVR and came across this site/software from byopvr.com.

I'm trying several of the PVR programs out there, and I must admit, I like the look of this one, but from the list of supported cards, it seems it's not going to be compatible with my Tevion card?

When I build my PVR, my intention is to use a digital tuner card rather than an analogue one alongside my Skystar 2 card, but again , it appears that GB-PVR won't function with them-or am I missing something blindingly obvious?

So, am I barking up the wrong tree with this software, or am I actually in the right place??

I can't get video archiver to access movies on my network. I have tried adding the network directories but they don't show on screen. I have also tried adding windows shortcuts. ...any ideas?

everyone is invited to discuss how this plugin should be implemented. reven and i thought of a database (this was revens idea) hosted by blader on the wiki (we'll have to ask him first).

every plugin-developer, skin-designer and maybe sub himself has access to this database to add/edit the information about the plugin/skin/core. the update-plugin takes gets the information, downloads the files and copies them to the target folders.

just post your ideas in this thread!

I am using GB-PVR with my MVP. If I've scheduled a recording, it works if I am running the MVP server. Does it work if neither the server or the GB-PVR program are running? Just wondering incase I've scheduled a recording and I forget to have the service running.

Thanks.

Solve one problem, a worse one pops up...

I was having trouble with LiveTV; every ten seconds or so, it would pause for about half a second. Searching the forum here, I found suggestions of using the PowerDVD 5 MPEG-2 codec, which supports my hardware (VIA EPIA M10000 motherboard).

I upgraded to PowerDVD 6, and LiveTV plays back beautifully now (as long as there's no OSD)... unfortunately, if I try to play a recorded show (which had been working fine before), I get a black screen and no audio for about fifteen seconds, then a BSOD naming vtdisp.dll as the culprit.

Short of installing a PCI video card (which means removing the audio card, an unattractive prospect since my machine's primary purpose is as a portable DAW), is there any way to fix this?

it would be nice to have an auto-update-function in gbpvr. not just for the main program but specially for the plugins. the my-series is updated very often for example.

the problem is, that the skins must be updated too, when there are skin-changes in the plugins....i don't know, how this problem could be solved. any ideas?

since this auto-update-function needs connection to the internet the installation of plugins could be made easier: just check the plugin you need and the configuration-program will perform a download of the plugin.

One for UK users....not had the web app working since i joined ntl recently, keep getting page not found error. port forwarding/firewall all set up correctly and it works internally on network. but when i access it externally its not working

read somewhere that ntl blocks aspx pages....is this so? if so is there a work around?

are there any ntl users who have the web working ok when accessed via internet?

thanks

in the next release off xrecord a delete-confirmation-dialog will be nice ;-)

Hello all,

I have been testing GBPVR over the last week, installed the latest version (09010) and GBPVR crashes (not responding) when exiting liveTV. I use the Hauppage MPEG2 Decoder, Overlay Manager and a Hauppage Win-PVR 150 card.

I have tried all other MPEG2 Decoders that are possible, still installed on my system is the Mainconcept MPEG2 Decoder which I cannot remove.

PS. the crash only occurs when going a couple of times in and out the liveTV.

I use as well the Hauppage remote control (45-button Silver version) with the latest version of the IR-drivers/software.

My graphics card is a ATI Radeon 9550SE of MSI, processor a AMD Athlon XP1800 on a MSI motherboard with a VIA KT266A.

I have the graphics card connected to the TV using a S-VHS cable and using the S-VHS signal.

I use as well RealVNC.

I use everything on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Can someone help me?

Kind regards,

Gemini

Hi,
This weekend I noticed a minor, but anoying bug in my music. As soon as the elapsed time of a song exceeds 9:59, the first digit of say 12:34 is at the position of the minutes, the 2 at the seconds tens and the 3 at the seconds. THus the last digit is off-screen.

I know most pop-songs are not that long, but classical music and several interesting pop-songs (Mike Oldfield) are way over 10 minutes.

Greetz,
