Just waiting on my PV250 card and once I have my GBPVR setup, I am gunna attempt to write some plugins.

I program in VB6 for a living. I believe that GBPVR is written in .Net.

So where can I get .net from?

Would the transition from vb6 to .net be difficult?

I have programmed in c++(not visual c)

My PC is setup to go into sleep mode after 1 hour. When using the MVP for live TV the PC does not see that as activity, and goes into sleep mode after 1 hour. Does anyone have the same problem and is there a solution ?

Are you supposed to be able to type in the station to go to (ie. 57) or do you have to use channel up/down? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but if I enter 5 + 7 + OK it doesn't go to channel 57.

My task list is gone...When i click task list to look at the errors, its not visable, what the blah...checked option, nothing..help

I'm running gbpvr on a celeron 2.4 with 512mb ram through a pvr150 and an FX5200.

I've noticed that as I increase my record settings bitrate my picture quality gets better but I start to get more artifacting. Is this a limitation of my cpu or video card?

Also,
What's the difference between variable bitrate and fixed bitrate and how does it affect the picture? Say I change a variable bitrate of 5500 to 9000 to be just 7500 or so?

Thanks

I've been working on updating the Blue Task skin by doing development work on my Laptop and then transferring the skin files over to my PVR.

The question is, I can't figure out how to get TV listings to be imported when I don't have a tuner card. I tried just setting up a dummy capture source to be able to connect to the zap2it listings, but it won't let me without an actual card.

Is there an easy way to import some TV guide data (and possibly completed recordings data) for testing purposes?

Hi,

I'm using GBPVR with an MVP, and find it fantastic!

I have one minor issue. The EPG will not update spontaneously. I have the updateepg.bat file properly configured, and this will update the xml data properly. The problem is that the scheduled EPG update in GBPVR config does not happen. If I manually update the EPG in the config app then it works, but it will not happen at the scheduled time.

The PC is always on, and is not setup for hibernation etc.

This seems to be a problem with GBPVR scheduling, rather than any xmltv problem.

Do I need the actual GBPVR app running on the computer at the time of the update? I currently have the recording service tray icon and the MVP server running.

Is it possible to schedule this update with Windows task scheduler?

I've been happy with my PVR-350 but am interested in the PVR-500MCE and would like opinions on it.
Questions: it's less expensive and I know it does not come with a remote but will the 350 remote work with it?
Also, you need 2 cables going in (I assume) to use 2 tuners....what's the best type of splitter to use to avoid signal loss?
Finally, any problems with the 500MCE and GB-PVR?
Thanks in advance.

jasonf,


Can you take a look at my helloworldPlugin, and tell me what if anything i am missing..Attached I am using sharpdevelop

I was about to try GB-PVR on an EpiaV board (less noise), and installed WinXP SP2 and the WinTV PVR350 software and drivers - everything seems ok.
Starting WinTV2000 and scanning for channels went ok, but at the end of the scanning process Windows gives me a nice blue screen - no indication on what went wrong - just a standard message.
I've tried different settings in bios, updated drivers and so on, same result.
Anyone got this working? If so, can you please give me your details?
