What is the different part of the filename on a recording?

Showname_date_timeXX

Especially the last two digits (XX) would be useful to know.

How can I change the time of the automatic EPG update? When I change the default setting of 3AM in the config program, save and exit and then load it back up, it goes back to 3AM.

I seem to remember a setting in the config.xml for this, but since upgrading to the latest version my old config.xml seems to have vanished without a trace and I can't find the tag anymore. For some reason the updates never work on my PC at 3am (maybe due to lots of other background tasks I have running at that time), but in the past I've got them to work by changing the time to 7am.

I have a PostProcessing.bat file so GBPVR doesn't run comskip at the end of each recording. What's the command line that I need to put in the batch file to run comskip?

Is it just:
"C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\comskip" %1

Maybe someone can help me with this.  For some reason when I record from HBO and Cinemax I have no sound on the programs. They play fine except for the sound.  All of the other channels are fine and work perfectly.  Has anyone else had this problem? Is this some kind of blocking feature?  Btw I live in the US, have a Win-TV PVR 150 and basic cable.

Hi, I just started playing around with the idea of building a PVR. I bought a PVR-150 and installed it in my current computer to play with and so far I like GBPVR for the software. I am running into one problem though after I have EPG update my channels they skip from 230 to 249. There are several channels in there that I need to record from. When I go to Zap2it and select dishnetwork and Kansas City it shows the channels. I tried to add them manually they still don't show in the guide. From reading other posts I don't think I would get the programming for them anyway. Anyone have any ideas as to what to try??

Awesome SW but it has one little problem for me.

When I schedule to record more than one show, (for example, using the season feature) it seems to only record the first episode that has been scheduled. Somehow, GB-PVR doesn't seem to update the "pending" list until reboot. Before I reboot, the first show will say "recording" in yellow even though the time has already passed. And after reboot, the missed recordings will say "never".

What am I doing wrong? Please help me to solve this issue.

BTW, here is my system:

-Windows XP
-GB-PVR 0.9? (the latest as of 2/14/05)
-Hauppauge PVR150 (and all its sw installed)
-Hauppauge MediaMVP (I don't use this to schedule recording, rather I use my PC)
-P4, 3Ghz with 1G memory
-I enter password to login to windows.
-Microsoft .net runtime v1.1 installed

Thanks for your help, RJ

Is it possible to change "the jump to time" feature in the web-interface to use 24 hour clock?

I've been trying to locate some switch in different .aspx-files, but no luck there...

Cheers !!!

I got my xcard and I also downloaded the latest gbpvr version yesterday.

The remote is not responsive. It takes about 3 or 4 seconds to do execute an action. Sometimes it buffers up all the key presses and executes all the actions at once.

Since I installed the xcard and the latest gbpvr at the same time I couldn't figure out which one is causing the problem.

I'm using 45 button remote that came with 150. I also notice the CPU hits 100% when I press the buttons on the remote.

It would be nice if there was a way that you could import shows that you have recorded from some other source into GBPVR's database. Maybe via plugin, or could I manually add them to the Database?

Mainly I have some episodes of Monarch of the Glen that I got from On-Demand and some I recorded weekly. I would like to add them to the database so I get better descriptions.... I moved them to the folder that GBPVR created for the weekly shows, and they show up there in the Videos plugin which is nice, but i want more!!!!

Hi sub
I was wondering. I being checking through your capture  source setting. I see under channel changer you have a changer .exe which is quite usable for me.. but I was wondering could you add  a simple capture source that just specifies a file name and location.

that way I can use it to tune to a specific file. be it locally  or remotely.

IE.  I use the channel .exe to fire up Vlc in the background to log on to a specific upd  broadcast channel   or web channel or software written file  and write it to the drive.  and the simple  capture source just opens  this defined file .

I see many uses for it

funny enough it works somewhat now if i broadcast a upd broadcast at a specific port locally ( ie  channel changer  param is  udp://@:channel  and I set the channel to equal the port setting it will play the audio. ( i think what happening is that vlc is playing hidden  so all I hear is the audio.  but if I write it to the drive with this param udp://@:channel out=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,url="C:\buffer.mpg"}} .

( or transcode a websource material to a sutible format with this setting out=#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,url="C:\buffer.mpg"}} )

now all I would need is a simple capture source that would access this  c:\buffer.mpg file to display on gb-pvr..

if you did this I would be happy.. I could simple set up a mulitude of programs to capture and display stuff via gbpvr.

the only problem I see is that ( i not sure) but when one selects another channel  one woulds need  to force  close the exe  executed by the  channel changer plugin. because it looks like  it will stay open
