WinXP SP2, PVR2000, Radeon 9600

I am from the uk and love gb-pvr, bought a pvr 150, after finding gb-pvr cause it is a great piece of software.

I can't work my vcr anyway

Get a superb picture on the tv with my geforce fx 5200 graphics card, much better than the rubbish supplied by hauppage with the card.

I am running version 0.90.7c and the probs are the tv guide will only show 2-3 hours ahead even though bleb-uk is downloading a week in advance.

Also search guide is only showing up to the letter H.

If someone can help me to resolve these two issues, i will love gb-pvr for ever.

Thanks in advance

Just for anyone who has a Philips TV and a Win-TV remote, and has enjoyed the "feature" of the Radio button being the same as the power on the TV remote (so you turn on the TV to find yourself in Net Radio).

I changed the mapping in irremote.ini under [GB-PVR] to make Radio={esc}{home}

Doing this means when you turn off the TV, GB-PVR jumps to the menu screen, even if you were in live tv w/ the guide osd open. Now you don't need to back out before turning off the tv, so it really is a feature now.

Now if only it worked the other way, as I'd love to turn the tv on/off from the win-tv remote....

I have been using the websrvr for a while now on 0908 and it has worked OK. Since I updated to 0910 it has stopped working. The recording service shows:

14/02/2005 18:15:54.718 INFO [4] Start GB-PVR web on: 1234

But when I try and netstat (netstat -na |findstr /i *.1234) for port 1234 its not there. Any ideas?

Is there a reason gbpvr would play some DVDs and not others? I can get a Thomas DVD to play for my son, but not a LoTR or Matrix DVD (it just sits on black screen).

I'm assuming it's just that the DVD player is the no-name POS it is, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't a technical reason otherwise before I order a semi-decent one.

I know the Maxtrix one works from playing on the laptop, and it didn't work before I reinstalled my sys yesterday (w/ many changes, from mce to pro, less clutter of codecs, .0901 version, etc).

Before I upgraded to 0910 my net radio and music lib worked OK. This has nothing to do with the upgrade as it stopped working before I moved to 0910. If I connect to the PVR using VNC I can play an MP3 file and I can here it from the speakers. I noticed that netradio creates a buffer file and I can play that. It uses windows media play as default. Just does not play through GB-PVR OSD. Any ideas?

I have a need to play DVD's on my PVR. It is a custom rig that is bare bones and is only for GB-PVR. It does nothing else. I did buy a SD Xcard for it but decided to output the TV to the PVR350 card which works great. However the Boss wants to play DVD's. Which is fair enough I suppose. What do I need to do to get the Xcard working? Do I slap the card in and install disk 1 drivers and configure in GB-PVR?

I have tried this card in my normal PC and thought the output was good but it crashed all the time when I gave it the odd avi file. Am I being unkind? Any help would be usefull.

I've experimented with file-sharing the GBPVR MDB database between a "server" machine with the TV-tuner card and a "client" machine which has no tv-tuner. This does seem to work for the database stuff, anyway (although my "Available" recordings are not listed on the "client" machine - possibly because of drive mappings/file availability?). All recordings are accessible through My Videos which I have pointing to my recordings shared folder.

Are there any database-safety concerns with this approach? I imagine that Access handles all data-locking... but is GBPVR equipped to handle multi-point access to the MDB?

It would probably be a good idea to disable EPG updates on the client machine.

What would happen on the client machine if its running while the server is recording something? Would the client attempt to record even though it does not have a tuner card?

Jorm,
I don't believe the comskip file is being transfered with the mpg and dat file. Is that something that can be added to the archive process? Or should it be doing that and something with my setup is incorrect?

great plugin BTW!

I'd love to be able to use the web interface (or any other interface) to stream around the local network. I suppose I could always mount windows file shares, but I'd prefer to use the web interface.

Bonus points for love down-encoding so, for example, I could stream at a much lower bit-rate if I happened to be at the office and wanted to watch remotely.

It seems like using something like VideoLan would allow me to do most of this, but it'd be nice if it were integrated into GBPVR. If anyone has any VideoLan faq's or how-to's to integrate with gbpvr, that'd be helpful!

Thanks for such a great product.
