PostUpdateEPG.bat is running this:
cd c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr
PriorityRecording.exe > recording.log

And I wake up to this error in the morning:
PriorityRecording.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services : Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

I don't see anyone else w/ this problem. How do I fix this?

This has probably been beaten to death, but what's the current word on XVid playback. The latest MVP has support for DivX and XVid but when I tried it, the audio and video were significantly out of sync. Can GBPvr transcode these files? How are people dealing with XVid files?

Sorry if these answers are easily found elsewhere but so far I have not found them.

1. Last night I had CSI schedule to record from 8pm to 9pm. I went to set ER to tape from 9pm to 10pm. The EPG had ER from 8:59pm to 10pm and would not add the ER schedule because it was in conflict. Is there no way to specify that a recording should proceed even though it may be in conflict for a minute or two. i.e. Let the original program finish it's time slot and then start show 2 when done with 1.

2. Also last night we were watching ER but not scheduled. Just we had paused it for 5-10 minutes and was watching out of the buffer. Twice we would fast forward when the commercials came but when the commercial was over and I hit play, it jumped all the way to live TV. I had to rewind back to the propre spot to resume watching. Has anyone else seen this?

I'm very close to getting my setup work or pulling my hair out.

I think gbpvr is fantastic. It worked really well with my PVR250.

However, I decided to buy a nova-t (connexant version) to get Freeview.

(I can record manually with Hauppauge WinTV2k and the trial of myTheatre okay - but I like gbpvr ).

I've edited the settings get gbpvr to find my channels, and in the match epg to channel window I can see the preview with no problems.

LiveTV doesn't work... but I'm not bothered about that. It's recording.

It will record radio stations without a problem.

Trying to record from television seems to be an issue. The mpeg files it produces stutter at around 5 second intervals.

I've got the latest drivers and software from Hauppauge support site.

I've looked through the forums and people recommend a newer version of MpgMux.ax. The latest I've been able to find is 4.0.0.2122 from the cyberlink power cinema trial.

Is there anyone else who has managed to get it recording?
Can anyone give me some leads on where to go next ?

I am determined to get this going. Cheers

Hi all,

I recently acquired a WinTV PVR USB2 - and it seems to works surprisingly well.
GB-PVR offers one of the better interfaces to using it, but I have encountered some issues.

The most serious of these is that while timeshifting LiveTV seems to miss program boundaries - It simply continues to record for a few seconds and then stops, never transitioning to the next EPG entry - The only thing that continues to work is the audio - and even that doesn't always work... I am not even sure it ever worked (I have also experienced some audio/video mismatches.. But one problem at a time)

I find that quite strange. I would guess that the capture graph stays on the old file for some reason...

A secondary issue, which might be related, occurs with LiveTV in non-timeshifting mode. While it works in overlay mode, VMR7/VMR9 result in a high CPU usage that renders it pretty much unusable - It is almost as if the overlay portion fails to allocate... But it works fine in timeshift mode... Another issue with building a capture graph?

For reference:
PIV-1.8G/Radeon 9600/1024MB-RAM
Storage files are created on a secondary HD

Any ideas and suggestions would be welcome...
-Eyal

P.S: Any way to change brightness/contrast/etc from within GB-PVR? The only method I have found so far is tweaking the INI files...

Edit: Corrected the description of the problem - Audio doesn't seem to go beyond the program boundary either

I've search through the threads and it looks like I'm SOL but I thought I'd post and maybe someone has an idea.

I noticed some of my TV recordings were showing up on my C: drive so I went into config and realized after one of my many reinstalls I failed to modify my directories. I did that and closed config. Something odd must have happened and although the config app closed, I noticed high CPU utilization and saw GBPVR was consuming a bunch of it. I then went into the web TV guide and got multiple HTML errors. I decided to reboot

After the reboot I went back into the TV web and it was empty! I went into config and found that my capture source was gone. I readded it and since my EPG wasn't set right either modified it as well.

Well after reading the posts it came as no surprise that all my recordings were gone from the database and if I've read correctly, it's just too damn bad.

Like I said, I think I'm out of luck and I don't have any data to assist in trying to figure out what went wrong so unless someone has some magic spells I can weave, thanks for listening.

Here's a couple of issues I've noticed when I start watching a show as it is recording (scheduled, not live). Sorry if they've been brought up but I didn't see them.

One is that the time bar that shows where you are maxes out at the length of the recording at the time I start watching. So if I start 10 minutes in I can watch 10 minutes but then lose the ability to ff/rw because it thinks I'm past the end of the show. Going back the menu and playing again refreshes the ending point.

Another weird problem I've had when doing this same thing is that sometimes the skip button decides to go not in 30 second increments but minutes at time. Sometimes it will just skip to the end no matter what when I push skip, sometimes it will do a couple of minutes each time instead of 30 seconds, and once I'm pretty sure it skipped 3 minutes, then 6.

Playing while recording is probably trickier than normal but I thought I'd bring these up.

This would be sweet if i get the stations to come in properly.

So here's the basic run down.

I am at college hooked into the colleges customized feed they get from comcast, which only includes certain channels. I have gone to zap2it.com and chose the basic comcast cable package for the area that I live in(Harrisburg, Pa). Then i have gone through that cable listing and modified the channels to only have checks by the ones that we recieve here at school.

Then I went into the GB-PVR, ran the tuning assitant and brought in all the channels to the config area where I have changed the channels to the same number channel as they are on our cable system here at school . For example, my college recieves ABC on channel 3, but from the regular comcast package which i am bringing in from zap2it, abc is listed as channel 4, but on the other hand both my school and comcast cable have cbs setup to be channel 2. Which cbs works perfectly on my pvr machine, but I am having troubles getting the actual stations to display onto my tv that are not the same channel number between the two places(such as the above example of abc). How do I step up the channels that are coming in from zap2it to correspond with the channels that i recieve here at school, or is that not the problem?

Any insight would be apperciated. Sub you are amazing, thanks for such an excellent product

ive uploaded the music panel include in the "GBPVR Media Experience" skin to the wiki so other skinners can include this in their skins (i noticed jmoger has included this in his new skin).  Note if updated it so it now uses 2 composite images, one for playing and one for paused.  also you can now show a few different items

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">@Time - The current time position of the song
@Song - The song title
@Artist - The artist
@AristSong? - The artist and the song eg "Metallica - One"
@Album - the Album.
@AlbumArt - a album image, if not found uses the default one set in the skin file. [/QUOTE]

just look in the example skin file to get the idea.

you must define a &quot;DefaultAlbumArt&quot; image even if you arent using the &quot;@AlbumArt&quot; option, it just loads the default image when it is starts.

this doesnt include a skin for the blue skin, this isnt a panel to just download and go, its really just for skinners so they can include this in their skins if they wish, they people will need to download it, i never bothered releasing it before, since i only used it in the media experience skin, but since jmoger skinned it i figured i should do a proper release and clean it up a bit.

wiki page Music Panel

ps thanks to SmegHead for writing the tag info for ogg,wma and ape files

download: gbpvrme.zip

ive updated the music panel to display info for mp3, wma, ape, and ogg. also it now displays a paused button when music is paused. ive also update it to work with the newer features of my videos.
