I have mentioned this before, but I'm writing to make it more clear, and see if there's anything I can do to change this behavior.

I have two tuners. I'm generally configured to pad recording 1 minute before a show starts, and 2 minutes after. This _really_ helps these days, with NBC and ABC screwing around with start times.

However, GB-PVR acts funny when I have two shows right against each other.

For example, if I have an 8-9 show on channel 2, and a 9-10 show on channel 3, then GB-PVR never utilizies both tuners at the overlap time. Instead of recording from 7:59-9:02 on tuner 1 and 8:59-10:02 on tuner two, it records from 7:59-9:02 then changes channel and records 9:02-10:02.

(Actually, I think _this_ particular behavior is new: I think it USED to do 7:59-9:00 then 9:00-10:02, but with .908, it switched to this.)

Now, I can understand GB-PVR throwing away the padding time if it would cause a program to be a conflict, which is actually how it used to act. I still wish it would use two tuners if it has them. But its behavior now is odd: it actually creates a 2 minute conflict that it could resolve by using the other tuner.

Does this make sense?

If I actually have two programs scheduled at the same time (say, two at 9:00-10:00), it does the right thing. The described behavior only shows up when a program comes immediately after another program. This has caused me to lose the starting two minutes of shows.

Is this something I can change in the config file?

Thanks...

Is there a way (such as with $agetv) where duplicate shows already recorded will be skipped?

For example, here in the US, TBS plays “Family Guy” twice a night.  But on some nights the show airs at say 10pm and the same show will air again at 1:30am.  Then again on some nights it may air at 10:30pm and the same show will air again at say 2:00am.  Different times on any given night but always the same show twice each night.

The only way to make sure you record it is, “Record season”, because it may come on at different times on any given night.  However, “Record season” will also record it (the same episode) again later that night.

I thought that zap2it included a unique serial number in each show.  Is it possible for GBPVR to check if it already has that episode recorded and skip it?  That would be an awesome feature.

Or maybe I’m missing something, and am doing it wrong.

Thanks again for a great program.  It has greatly enriched me and my family’s lives by allowing us to watch TV together on our schedule.

Best regards.

Sub, haven't tried the .90 series yet, but will probably try this coming weekend. Question I have is, that I have noticed that even though the following lines are specified in the ini file for .2313:

AudioSampleRate=48000
AudioChannels=2
AudioSampleBits=16


That the AudioSampleRate in the recorded file is actually 32000 instead of 48000. It doesn't currently seem to honor the audio sample rate request. This is with a Life View Walker Ultra (basically a Walker MINI).

Is this fixed in the .9010 release?

Got another question for everyone.

I've got GB-PVR client server running successfully on the MVP. I even got the remote control to change channels on my DCT2224 Cable box (I can give detailed instructions if anyone needs it).

The one stumbling block I've hit though is that I cannot skip forward or skip backward while using the MVP and remote. What happens is the audio skips appropriately, but the video freezes. The one exception is if I skip back to the beginning of the particular recording, then everything works fine. This happens with both the LiveTV and with recorded video.

On the other hand, if I run GB-PVR on my desktop, the skip function works appropriately.  Any ideas out there?

Edited to add: I'm running V0.90.10

okay for those who have the program tsreader..
I got it working reasonably well with gb pvr so for those who wish to try here you go.. it not perfect but works well.. I can get every thing on the dvb s t and c supported by tsreader
what you will need:
tsreader 2.5.41
vlc
gb-pvr

configure your gbpvtr capture source.. you will have to do so for each transponder
for recording source ;
I used g0700... source because I do not have it. on my computer you can use what ever you want.. we will do it this way untill perhaps later there will be a "simple capture source"

epg source:
use xmltv guide and download the four or nine day guide with tsreader. update and uncheck the channels that do not belong to that transponder. channel the channel number to equal thr proper channel number for those channels..

channel changer:
use .exe changer pluggin configure
set your tsreader path and use this in the param

-i -v {channel} 2 12224 R 20000 11250 0
-i allows only one instance of tsreader
-v statss up vlc
2 is the configuation file for vlc mine looks like this
<IP> out=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,url="C:\`buffer.mpg"}}
it converts the file to Ps mpeg and writes it to the drive

12224: is the freq
R: is the polaration
20000; is the symbol rate
11250: is the lnb settings
0: wherer or not there is 2tone
the the last not shown would be for the disqec
now your done and you can watch tv.
now simple select the channel tsreader will run hidden but as soon as you see vlc pop up, about 20 seconds you can select the file `buffer.mpg and watch tv
to change the channel just go back to the guide choose another channel it will shutdow tsreader and vlc automaticaly and tune to the new channel and you ready to watch again..

I am able to cancel a single recording on a recurring recording, but I want to cancel whole thing.  I do not want to record the show any longer.  When I select cancel, only the current episode is cancelled the next episode continues to record.
Found it. Did not see an arrow indicating more scheduled recordings. I was able to cancel the schedule.

I have windows xp home edition, with service pack 2. I can not seems to get this program to work..What are the requirements from microsoft ? service p3 ? Some Tools? Any help would be thankful..

I don't want to do a manual season recording of West Wing from 9:03 - 10:00 again, since it was growing in numbers every week up to over 800 of them. Is there an easier way?

For some unknown reason, when I go to live tv, I can hear but get a black screen. If I shut it down and restart it might or might not work. Recordings are fine though. Should I reinstall or is there something else I can do.
I have not made any changes since updating to .90.
Thanks
