I have been looking for where the Icon descriptions on the Main menu are located to make a small change but have not been able to locate where these are stored. These same literals seem to carry over to any skin used.

I would like to change the descriptions for each selection that uses the word "programmes".

Example: "Brouse the TV Guide and select programmes to record"

I would like to change the spelling of "programmes" to "programs" to correspond with local usage.

Is this available to edit or hardcoded into the primary program. There are similar spellings for other main menu descriptions where I would like to change the spelling of this word as well.

Hey all, I have a question. When something's recorded, its filename is usually something like showname_date_time_blahblah and whatnot. I was wondering if htere was any way to set the filenames to be something like ShowName - Episode Number - Episode Name, etc - maybe pulling all of the info from the tvguide for the name? I wouldn't assume it would be very hard to implement if it hasn't been already.

Thanks

I know there has been other posts started on this, but Im getting nowhere... I just bought the card the other day, originally for MythTV, but then I found out the 150 isn't supported that much yet, that and I always have  hard time with linux. I really love this pvr though, so I want to use it instead, but Im having a lot of problems.

Another thread said you can use it without ir.exe, but how is that setup? When I try the direct access option and close IR, the remote doesn't work.

With IR, the remote still doesn't work that well, infact the only buttons that do work are volume up and down. In another thread someone posted thier [gb-pvr] section in irremote.ini looks, which isn't working here.

Also, everytime I start live tv it says that a remote has been found, and it used to crash LiveTV when that happened, a reinstall fixed that, but it still pops up, is there any way to fix that?

Can someone possibly help me with any of this? Also, if someone has a 150 with the new remote that has it working, could they send it to me?

Thanks!
Mike

I just set up a new machine (Dell sc420) and installed a 150MCE card.  gb-pvr installed and set up fine, but when I try to view live tv I hit the following assert, and see the following information (and exception) in the debug log file.  Then gb-pvr just hangs.  Do you know what I could be doing wrong?  I'm trying with Overlay Manager playback settings because it told me VMR9 is not supported.  Do I need a better video card than the one on the motherboard?  I plan to only view tv via a mediamvp on my tv, but I'd like to get everything working locally first.

I read someone was able to configure girder to control a Directv box using a serial cable. I need to know what plugins do I need. I have girder, the directv box with serial connection, and the serial cable. I read instructions for a Motorola box but I'm not sure if the files mentioned will work with mine.
Thanks

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?

Thank you,

Regards,

Steve

Well after my failed attempt in the early hours of this morning, I put my 500 back in the machine this afternoon and took out my 350 (I deleted the 350 driver from Device Manager before shutting the machine down to remove the card, and also removed the capture source for it in Config.exe).

The 500 installs fine and I see the two tuners in Device Manager. I setup two capture sources for the tuners (#1 & #2) and did the usual with the EPGs etc. etc. All looked fine.

I then scheduled two recordings to start at 6pm as a test. GB-PVR seemed to go through the motions (it created the folders for the two shows) but the systray icon sat at red and when I brought it up it said both sources were sleeping.

I tried all manner of recording attempts - sheduled one at a time, manual recording (one or two at a time) still nothing. Going to Live TV causes the assertion failure in the recording services as mentioned in various posts (Line 52, dbgdel.cpp etc.).

I'm using XP Pro, not MCE, but using the MCE drivers for the 500 which seem to install fine. Can anybody suggest anthing for getting a 500 working? Please?

Cheers,
Brian

Hi,

Comcast is changing their channel lineup effective Jan 25, but the old lineup still shows up when I look at the listings in GBPVR as well as on TVGuide's site and Yahoo TV.

Any guidance on how to deal with the channel change? Has anyone gone thru this before. Do I have to do something manually to change the lineup in GBPVR? TVGuide and Yahoo only allow you to select which cable service you use and it handles the lineup based on that.

I just need to know if I need to go nuts on the 25th to redo all my pending recordings to get the right channels.

Thanks.

Hey.
I'm trying to record The Daily Show every nite when it comes on at 11 pm here. after the 11 pm showing (at 11:30). they show the episode from the nite before. I set the recorder to record season, in this time slot on the 11 pm showing, but it sets the 11:30 to record as well

any ideas how to get it to stop?

I've installed GBPVR with my PVR350 and MVP. It works great - I'm really pleased.
I have just downloaded and installed 2 plugins - MyMusic & MyPictues. MyMusic works fine. However I can't get MyPictures to appear in the main menu. It does appear in the config plugins list so I can alter the settings, but whatever I put in does not make it work?

Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks
Julian
