Setup:
Most recent release of GBPVR.
Hauppauge PVR250.
ATI Radeon 8500LE
ffdshow installed and enabled

When viewing live TV or recorded video, and I mouseover the interface the little blue bar w/ the controls pops up as expected. As this happens, the colors on the video behind it go wacky - everything gets a strange tint to it. If i mouseout of the window and let the control panel go away, and then resize or move the window, the colors return to normal.

I haven't been able to pin down whether this started when I installed ffdshow or not. I have tried disabling ffdshow, changing its settings, VMR9, VMR7, Overlay (no picture at all with this), turning off "use ffdshow" in config, etc, etc.

Nothing seems to get rid of this little issue. I don't think its my system because it did not have this problem before this latest release and all other players work fine. Also, recording works fine, no discoloration there at all.

Any hints? Love it overall, a really great product if I can just get past this one issue!

Hi,

tipstir have reported problem when uploading files to the wiki. I have not been able to found out what is causing his problems.

Is anyone else having problems uploading to the wiki?

Sub,

Would it be possible to get a forum section created that is dedicated to trading/selling of hardware? I understand that it would probably need to be moderated to keep commercial distributors out; but for example I just got my second PVR-150 card today and don't really need the 45 button remote that came with it. I figure someone here could possibly use it rather than just letting it sit in the box. Additionally I'm sure that there are others out there who have hardware that they bought to test out and may not really satisified with the performance and so it is just sitting there. Would such a section be a bad idea?

Does anybody have any links to VFDs or LCDs that could be added to an HTPC case? I see cases sellling with them already installed; but have been unable to find any stand alone...except for one I found in Australia....I"m in the U.S....lol

I have a win-tv radio pci card, and i cant get it to work with this app. i dont have pvr, i have soft pvr which i imagine is a dumbed down version designed for my card.

is there any way i can watch and record tv using this program with what i have now?

thanks

I am a newcomer to GB_PVR and so far everything is working great except the webserver and the remote for my pvr-150 (but that's another issue).

I get the following error below when typing http://localhost:7647 iinto IE or Firefox. Is it something i am missing. Norton Internet Security is disabled. Don't know what else to try.

Thanks,

Kevin


Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HTTP Error 404 - Not Found.

Version Information: Cassini Web Server 1.0.1858.33969

I just tried using the utility ChannelIconDownload by jorm. I followed the three steps and it created two directorys:

gbpvr\AllChannelArt
with full length channel image file names

gbpvr\ChannelArt
with just my channel numbers as numeric file names

and I guess it updated the channel.xml file with entries like:

<Channel number="7" name="7 WDSU" picstring="C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\AllChannelArt\WDSU 6 New Orleans.gif"/>
<Channel number="11" name="11 WGNO" picstring="C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\AllChannelArt\WGNO 26 New Orleans.gif"/>
<Channel number="16" name="16 WGNSAT" picstring=""/>
<Channel number="20" name="20 WHNO" picstring="C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\AllChannelArt\WHNO 20 New Orleans.gif"/>

<Channel number="9" name="9 WVUE" picstring="C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\AllChannelArt\WVUE 8 New Orleans.gif"/>
<Channel number="3" name="3 WWL" picstring="C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\AllChannelArt\WWL 4 New Orleans.gif"/>
<Channel number="12" name="12 WYES" picstring="C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\AllChannelArt\WYES 12 New Orleans.gif"/>

But the default blue skin does not display the images defined in the picstring for these channels. Is there some other configuration needed or is this a bug in GB-PVR? I'm using the latest .908 release.

Thanks,

Rename Recordings

This is a GBPVR utility application that will take in the full path of a GBPVR recording, and rename
it to the Episode's Sub Title name. If an Episode does not have a sub title, the recording name
stays the same. The physical file name is renamed, as well as the name in the GBPVR database.

So for example:

Las Vegas_20050201_220000.mpg will become
The Count of Montecito.mpg

It will still reside under the Las Vegas folder.

The best way to run this application is as part of the GBPVR PostProcessing.bat file.

Add an entry that looks like this to the the file:

renamerecording %1

Place RenameRecording.exe and RecordingUtil.dll (part of the External Recording Manager 0.1.0. Beta),
in the root GBPVR directory.

You can also run it from the command line:

renamerecording "C:\Tivo\Common\Las Vegas\Las Vegas_20050201_220000.mpg"

Note: I have not tested this with any other Video plugins. If any plugins rely on the original naming convention, then some information those plugins rely on may not work with the renamed file.

Anyone got the final episode of 'the apprentice' season 2, and a fast internet connection, and willing to let me download the file? It just showed here in NZ on Tuesday night, but after uninstalling/reinstalling numerous times to test the last release, I forgot to set it up again. Damn...

If you can help a brother out, email me at support@devnz.com

Something smaller than mpeg2 like DivX or XVid would be ideal.

(must get around to writing that screen that lets us share video's)
