sub on a few menus, when navigating the 350 says "Video is playing back using TV Out..." and its not. now this usually isnt a big deal, since well you should be using tv out on the 350 so no reason to look at the normal display. but since ive added "my programs" i navigate using the normal video out on my gfx card to launch games etc, but a lot of the time i cant see the menu. sure this is probably fault on my half aswell (since ive only seen this happen with the plugins i made), but i have no idea how to fix this, and i suspect it might be a fix you would be able to do, i dont expect to be fixed in next release, since of the deadline, but can you take a look at it.

cheers.

My GB-PVR machine is in the basement and doesn't connect directly to the internet. Rather, my upstairs gaming machine has dial-up internet connection, and is hooked to the GB-PVR machine through a home network.

Here's my question: I want to get my TV listings, but have my gaming machine do it - then have my PVR get the listings from a shared network folder - but maybe only once a week. Is this possible to do with the Zap2it plug in? It seems that Zap2it wants to connect directly from my PVR, but I'd rather have my gaming machine do that. Possible? Keep in mind, the PVR won't be able to use the internet itself - since my upstairs 'net computer is usually turned off.

Hey guys,

Anyone have this problem? Net radio used to work fine for me. Then, one day, it just stopped. I always get "failed to connect to radio station" after it says Buffering..... for a few seconds.

I can play Net radio on Windows Media player and WinAmp but not through gbpvr.

Also, it doesn't seem to create a log entry when it happens.

TIA
Eric...

I have GBPVR installed successfully and configured. The EPG works fine so I can go through the guide and select programs to record. However, the programs never record. When I try "Live TV" from the main menu, I get an error: "No Capture-source was available to enable you to watch the requested channel". It is puzzeling because the EPG works fine and I can see video via the tuner assistant. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted, etc but no luck. Incidently, which channel is the "requested" one? I cannot figure out how a default is configured.
I am using an Avermedia M150 card on a XP machine.
I attached the log files from GBPVR in case that helps....

Looking forward to getting this going....

Hi,

I've installed my PVR-350 in my HTPC and am planning to use GB-PVR but I'm not sure about these things:

1.  Do I need to install the WinTV and WinScheduler if I'm only planning to use GB-PVR?

2. If not, should I install them anyway to make sure the card works properly *then* install GB-PVR?  Or should I just go ahead and install GB-PVR anyway?

3. If I use the A/V output on the PVR-350 how can I use SCART? My TV (a Loewe) has SCART inputs which I want to use - can you get a cable that goes from the A/V out to SCART? If not, am I stuck with using S-Video?

4. Do all the functions of GB-PVR work via the A/V out of the PVR-350... ie: will it stream music and non-MPEG2 streams?  

5. How do I connect it all up? The instructions are pretty useless for a newbie so here's what I've done:
- Connected the RF out of my satellite box (Foxtel Australia) to the TV-in connector on the PVR-350.
- Connected the TV out of my video card (FX5200) to the S-Video input on my TV (since I can't use SCART until I get the right cable)
Is this right? If so, how does the PVR-350 tell the cable box to change channels?

Hope soneone can help me here... I searched the forums but couldn't see any answers to these Q's.

TIA...

Mike

There are 2 cases where I lost data recently.

A whlie back the computer hung during a recording (not GBPVR related) and when I rebooted it started recording but what had been recorded so far was gone.

Yesterday I accidentally ran config while recording, and it started recording again but what was recorded up to then was lost.

I suppose there's no way currently to prevent data being lost in such circumstances. Is recovering data a possibility? In future versions will events such as this not result in lost recordings? Thanks!

When I press the stop button on the remote while playing music through the MVP, the music stops and then the MVP hangs with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."  Here's the gbpvr.exe.log lines from just prior to and including the event:

That looks to me like getting file data for the song, then the button press. Performing the same task on the PC, pressing STOP did the same thing, logged as follows:

Added the album songs to the queue, I let it play fo ten seconds or so and pressed STOP.

If it matters, my PC is an old Compaq Deskpro, 650-MHz P-III, XP-Pro, 384 MB RAM, humongous disk space, over 30GB free. gbpvr and plugins are current, D/L last week.

Can someone help me with this? I'm thinking I really like this plugin better than the built-in GBPVR music player, but not if it's unusable for some reason. . . . .

Last night I set up to record Star Trek Enterprise, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis.  Enterprise recorded perfectly but SG1 stopped about 20 minutes into the show.  This has happened several times before, usually there are around 10 good recordings between.

When I first noticed the problem I checked through these boards and saw a suggestion about the Hauppauge PVR-250 having its own IRQ.  So I removed the card and drivers placed it in a different slot and reinstalled so that it had its own IRQ.  Unfortunately it is still doing the same thing.  The GBPVR status still had "Recording Stargate SG-1" but when I looked at the size of the file it was no longer increasing.  

I also looked at the gbpvrrecordingservice.exe.log and saw nothing unusual before I rebooted so that I would get Atlantis.  I saved a copy of most of the files in the GBPVR directory before I rebooted.  If they would be of any help, please let me know.

Any Ideas?

I'm trying to get some info on how MVP talks to GB-PVR.
I would like to code a Python script for XBMC to control the TV functions of GB-PVR and maybe even stream live TV to the Xbox.

Is there any documentation, or source of info that could help me with this.
Thanks

So I just noticed that my EPG is blank after 02/01/05. Is this a known issue with zap2it or GBPVR or is a problem with my setup? It has been working perfectly fine up to this point. I even tried forcing an update and after the update there was no additional programs after the 02/01...?

Thanks for any help.
