Hi, I posted this on the support group but it's probably better here:

Hi,

I have a PVR 150MCE. Unfortunately I cannot get the card to work with any software except WinTV2000. Yep, I've tried all the drivers and reinstalled the PC etc. just get a black and white, flickery picture with bad lipsync. Picture is fine in WinTV2000 - strange eh!

So, my question is: Instead of GBPVR doing its thing when its time to start a recording, is it possible that it can trigger an executable instead? My execuatable will fire up WinTV2000 in no decode mode and start recording.

Thank you,

Regards,

Steve

Hello,
After a lot of search I have no idea of where to post my problem,
so forgive me if it is in the wrong place....

I tried to use "Music Library" and seams that does not display correctly Greek characters in filenames ( I mean the filename of the mp3 files is in ISO-8859-7 set)

I must note that
- I use Windows XP
- installed GBPVR v23.13
- windows explorer shows greek characters fine...
- in Music Library
* if the filename has extention mp3 does not pop up right
* BUT if the filename has extention .wav IS OK ....

Thanks for any help,

I have couples of movies in cue, mds and nrf file, and daemon tool actually do support them. But currently, besides iso file, all the other files cannot be found using the MyVideo plugin, so I wonder, is it possible to make those file workable in GB-PVR too?

I got music library playing OGG files. Just install the OggDS Direct Show Filters you can find here. Hope that's a piece of useful information to you all.

I use FastFind to find a show I wan't to record, select it, get the detailed popup but only the exit button is availible. I'd like to be informed of why I can't record it.

I was supecting a conflict, and checked in the TV-listing, but there was no conflicting recordings showing.

Great plugin!!

Hi Folks

I've read about building a Plugin for GBPVR and it seems no problem at all however I'm really looking to make a slight alteration to the TV Guide window to include my suggested plug-in. Where you select to record any given programme I wish to add an additional option. I'd like to avoid re-inventing your wheel by merely adding an additional button to what you have as opposed to me recreating a TV Guide to incorporate my proposed plugin.

At the moment it is Exit Record Quick Rec Watch I wish include my one. At least for testing purposes!




Cheers

PS. Congratulations on a super app.

Can anyone point me to instructions on how to get a second homade serial port blaster to control a second cable box?  I got the first one working fine on com1 but dont know how and can't find out how to set up a second one on com2.  I couldn't run 2 copies of winlirc and with one copy running, I only see how to configure cone com port.

v2 now available on wiki.

Thanks to kingArgyle for laying the ground work.

This is a utility that will read in a file called detector.xml and perform various checks trying to find new shows to record. When a show is found in the Episode Guide database, we will add any occurence of the show that is not already found to the GBPVR scheduler. If an episode is already in the scheduler it will not be re-added.

For example

Currently there are two detectors
<RecordByTitle? text="Stargate">
<RecordByDescription? text="Sylvester Stallone">

You can even specify things like record stargate only when it comes on channel# 45 between 1-5pm after the 15th.
<RecordByTitle? text="Behind the Stargate" channel="45"/>
starthour="1PM" startdate="12/15/2004" endhour="5PM"/>

Best to do all of this in xrecord that way you will not have to worry about xml or the syntax. You just use the wizard.

History
v2 1/14/2005
Enhancements include duplication check using unique identifier for zap2it. A more generic one will be in the next release.
Added conflict detection logic.
Got rid of the text file and replaced it with an xml file.
Added find by description.
And am integrating it with XRecord? so you can update it via the mvp or all inside gbpvr. This includes adding and deleting. Eventually editing will be supported.
I added remove logic that will remove pending shows based on criteria.
Added time range so you can specify a start and end time for the show to record on. So you can specify 8pm-10pm.
Added date logic so you can specify it to start recording in Nov 1 and end in Aug 3 if you choose this is optional.
Channel logic that you can specify a channel to look at or all channels.

v1 Initial version

Using
Place the executable in the gbpvr directory. If you are working with detector.xml yourself that also must be in the gbpvr directory.

A log file is generated by AddReOccuring every time it runs. Also, any Console activity may be redirected to a file with the following command:

AddReOccuring.exe > filesadded.txt

You can either run this manually, create a Windows Scheduled Task, or add it to the PostUpdateEPG?.bat file. You'll want to keep an eye on your scheduled recordings, as the list can start to grow pretty quickly.

I have a request i have finally got a plugin going and just wondering how do you implement the ink.txt file into your plugin. Possible to share code for it. I just really like that feature about your plugin...If not thanks for all your help..Answering ? after ? for me...I guess we all got to begin some were. hopefully i will get better the more i practice and write..See ya

Hey all.
I'm new to this PVR-lark, well, 2 days new to be precise.

I've built myself a AMD Sempron 2200 / 256mb / 250gig system with a Hauppage PVR-350.

Is it just me, or is the output via scart to a tele rather pants? I've got the latest drivers on there - and I fiddled in Config and it made no difference.

Is it generally expected to be a bit blurry and saturated colours?

I've tried the search, and there wasn't anything in particular to this it threw up.

The TV isn't the greatest in the world (28in Wide Phillips jobby) but I can't blame that really, as my Xbox, cable, VCR, and DVD are all crystal clear! No S-Video in though

Is it just the TV-out being poor quality?

And maybe slightly cheeky asking on here - but do other PVR-solutions suffer the same problem? (MythTV, M$ MCE 2k5, etc). I thought this card was supposed to be the dogs....
