Hello all users.

I'm finally using GBPVR, andI want to develop an archive of Tv emissions, using the feature that allows multiple recordings at the same time, with two or more tuners.

I have around 60 Gbytes of free space in my HD, and two Hauppauge WinTV 350. I know gbpvr store recordings in MPEG-2 format, my question is:

What can I do (post-processing, plugins, etc) to reduce the amount of disk space used in each recording? The quality is not a problem, it's only for a documentation use of the files.

Thanks a lot for every answer, regards.

I seem to get the impression that GB-PVR can only handle two tuners right now. Is this true? If so, how likely is it that a future version can handle more? As many as 4 tuners?

I'm at a loss... I just can't figure out how to enable the live tv mini guide while watching TV.  I want to use the mini guide like in this pic:



I've installed that skin... am I missing a plugin for it?

I'm trying to get DVDs to play through GB-PVR but It keeps saying there is no DVD in the specified drive. I've checked the settings and the drive is correct, and I can play DVDs outside of GB-PVR with ATIs software, so I'm not sure what the problem is, any advice?

I just upgrade to 9010 and still my remote is not working. It works for 50 or 60 minutes then stops. I do a restart on the irremote and I get an error message stating that it failed to initialize hardware. It does work longer on this version then the previous one. What should I try? The only way to get it to work in a restart.

Configuration
Under recording source I have no channel changer required. If I select this the remote never works.
Under the misc tab I have use direct access to Hauppauge remote checked
And remote control type default Hauppauge.

I am not sure if this is the new 45 button remote or not it has 4 color buttons at the bottom.

I've started a previous thread, and since starting it, realized that the subject and overall content don't quite address the real problem, so I'm starting another one, hoping to get attention.

The scheduling logic changed in .908 (and remains changed in .910). The change comes into play with padding time.

Assume you have a show scheduled from 8-9 on one channel, and another from 9-10 on another channel. Both have 1 minute pre-padding and 2 minutes post-padding.

Before .908, the 8-9 show would forgo its post-padding, and the recording would switch to the new channel (and file) at 9:00. Now, the 8-9 show gets its 2 minutes of padding, and the second show doesn't start until 9:02.

If this is what was intended, can I request a way to change the behavior?

This new behavior has caused me to miss the first two minutes of several shows. It has only been in the last 24 hours that I really figured out what was going on, and that the behavior had changed.

(My other point is, in the case where you have two tuners and the second one is unused, it could be used for the second show. It appears that a second tuner isn't used unless the actual scheduled start and stop times overlap, for example, when I'm recording something from 8-9, and a second show from 8:59-10. In that case, the second tuner would be used. There's no reason it couldn't also be used if I have an 8-9 and a 9-10, allowing both recordings to have their full pre and post padding.)

Thanks for any comments/help. (And thanks for the program!

... What exactly does this do? Could someone on the XRecord team give me some information regarding it? I saw in an earlier version, you had to have VLC installed, and then uncomment out some code or what not to get the "transcode" menu option...

I can't seem to select a show and then transcode, and when I select "transcode" itself, it says "no shows" or something to that effect... I can't figure it out...

I checked out the plugins page for XRecord, and it didn't seem to have any info there...

Thanks.

I have 0.910 and followed the directions for editing irremote.ini for use with the "old" Hauppauge remote but with no success. In main menu the CH+ and CH- don't do anything, but I can navigate using 0-9. In TV guide CH+ does a page up and CH- does a page down...other plugins/accessories behave strange too. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...something simple...does anyone have any ideas?

Managed to get GB-PVR 0.90.10 to install on the new machine. However, when I chose "Live TV" I just get a black screen. Trying to use my PVR-350 for TV-Out, and did select it in the Playback area, and have tried both VMR9 and Overlay.

System is running WinXP SP2 with 512 megs of RAM and with an nVidia GeForce 5200 video card as well as the Hauppauge.

Any ideas?

I'm trying to get a list of all recorded shows including the friendly name of the channel, I'm not extremely sucessfull. ;-)

I get an error running this:
select p.name, p.description, rs.filename, rs.manual_start_time, rs.manual_end_time, c.name
from programme as p, recording_schedule as rs
LEFT OUTER JOIN channel as c ON c.oid = rs.manual_channel_oid
where p.oid=rs.oid and rs.status=2

It says the join expression isn't supported.

And a last question, is there such a live-command window for MS-access where I can test run my queries. Now I have to run a small console application to verify my SQL syntax, very time consuming.

Thanks for all help!
