I used to be happy

Go figure: I start using ffdshow to fix the aspect ratio in avi files I have (from help I found here). Works great, I'm happy.

Then I use ffdshow for mpeg2. It letterboxes live tv now. Not so bad, but I'd rather it be full screen.

Now, if I disable it in ffdshow, anything I've recorded just stutters and doesn't play right. Now I have to turn the libracodec back on in ffdshow to wacth recorded shows, but the letterboxing is back for livetv.

Agian, the letterboxing on live tv isn't the end of the world, but it's annoying that I used to have that right before.

I am installing GBPVR on a w2k box with the .NET Framework installed. I get an error right after the destination folder there is a dialog box that says ready to install. I click next and boom I get a message that says. "Fatal Error" - "Installation Ended Prematurely Because on an error"

Anybody else ever come across this? Any thoughts?

I installed the sp for .NET.

I was hoping someone could help me get the free disk space utility along with the shut down utility working.

When I select either of these I get a "Error: com object that has been separated from its underlying RCW can not be used" error. Can any one point me in the right direction to get this resolved. Is this a windows problem? Have I inadvertently turned off a necessary service in windows...?

I just tried it on my computer upstairs and the functions work on it.

Thanks!

hi!

i've installed 02313.
my system:
hauppauge pvr350 with external digital tuner from upc austria.
installed external channel changer usbuirt for this tuner.
when i watch tv through livetv or tvguide everything works fine (even the external channel changing). installed 2 mediamvp. -> everything works fine.

done an update to 0908:
everything works fine except watching tv on the mediamvp.
the channel will be changed through usbuirt but the tv picture i see on the television is a different channel with a very bad picture! -> watching livetv on the pc monitor -> no problem.

deleted everything.

installed 0908 new
-> same problem with watching live tv through mediamvp.

installed 02313 new
-> everything works fine
-> update to 0908 -> same problem!

maybe you can fix the bug in the next release.
if you need beta test support please contact me

thanks for the great software!

regards

I just recently bought a Hauppauge PVR 150 MCE. I haven't yet bought the MCE Remote control, so I am controlling GB PVR via mouse and keyboard. I would prefer not having to use the keyboard controls, but to have an on screen display similar to WinTV2000 or my former ComproPVR (to control playback or channel/volume selection) by mouse control. I have not been able to find the same capability in GBPVR -- is it possible?

Thanks.

I have setup the DVD2MPEG and it is working as it is supposed to...(I think)

My problem is that I am trying to convert my season 3 of 24 to mpegs to watch them and have them on the PVR. It seems that it only will rip the first episode and not see the rest.

Is this just the way it operates and I will have to find another option? Or is there a way to make it rip everything on the DVD?

Thanks,

Rex

Hey, I'm trying to set up dual tuners and I'm just making sure to do it right. I flipped through the wiki page and searched the forums, but never found a way to do it.

Anyway:
I go to the Capture Sources menu.
I add 2 sources.
I configure each one.
I get EPG updates for each one.


Questions:
Is this the correct way?
Do I set both boards to #1, or do I set one to #1 and one to #2.
They are different types of cards (PVR-150 and general blackbird), does this matter?

Thank you.

I just got my MediaMVP and managed to set up GB-PVR - fantastic! My problem is that I tried to play around with the plugins and unticked the boxes that I was not currently using; then when I tried to tick them again I couldn't. In desperation I uninstalled and reinstalled but they remained unticked.

Also I'm not clear on how to get the optional plugins to work. I tried installing the weather plugin but it asked for the exe file and I couldn't see one to point to.

V.grateful for any hints -

I updated irremote with the gbpvr codes and I don't have my mini browser anymore.

any ideas?

I have 828 instances of my manual recording for The West Wing! There is hundreds for each week, 1 of which is the valid one to watch. It records fine, but every week it grows seemingly exponentionally.

Can I clear it out from the database so it never tries again? And clear out the 828 occurances? I don't want to uninstall and start over since I have a collection of shows in the database.
