I have my USBUIRT working and taught to control my Phillips direct TV box. However, when the same number comes up twice in a row (ie 112 or 223) the box doesn't accept the second of the two same numbers giving me a wrong channel change (to 12 or 23, etc).

I know I somehow need to edit my IR config file but I am hoping for someone more techincally savy than me who has perhaps dealt with this in the past!

Thanks

Hello All

I have used GBPVR with great success with 2 Hauppauge 150's, a retail and an MCE. Two days ago, it stopped recording to one card. I updated drivers, but no go. I removed and reinstalled GBPVR, and no go. Lately, I got both working, but one records at 2 gb per hour while one records at 50 gb per hour on the same setting! Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?

I am on XP Home, with a 2.8 gig, P4 computer.

Thanks for any help.

S.

PS I forgot to mention, it will create a recording file for the 2nd card, but it puts no data into it.

Sub,
Is there a way to modify the text colour/font/size/etc. settings for the currently commented out time and next recording panels on the main menu? Thanks!

i have a hauppauge 150mce installed in a box that i would like to use as a pvr with gb-pvr

the card seems to be correvtly installed and i can watch a tv stream through it using vlc or
though the simple tv utility that came with the hauppauge drivers shows only a still

however i am unable to get gb-pvr or a simular app called gotallmedia to show live tv or record off the 150


. i was a bit mistified that there was not a section in the setup that selects the capture card, i just 'add' a device in the capture area, which i currenlty have done with 150mce selected and all the i setting i think done.


. other items of note:
i have another tuner card in theis machine, an ati one that i do not want to use for any pvr function
, it seems that the gbpvrrecordingservice will after being on and doing nothing for about 12 hours suddenly start using alot of ram and cpu time.

I'm playing with addreoccurring and must have entered too generic of a string. I now have a ton of scheduled recordings, is there any way to clear all without going through each one?

Posted this once before but didn't hear anything back.  Anyone know what this error is?  I get this error and a 5-10 minute recording.  Here is the previous post with all the gory log details etc.

Greetings,

I am trying to unclutter the menus (trying all the plugins) and have created new submenus by dragging/dropping into them. For some reason the new menu items don't show up. I have rebooted the MVP several times as well as the recording service to no avail. Is there something that I'm missing?

Thanks!

I'm a Newbie trying to switch to GBPVR from MCE.
I have GB-PVR installed, configured and running, but can't set up the TV. Every time I switch to Live TV I get a black screen followed by a pause, followed by an error message "failure to play back file".

The stack trace from my log is at the bottom of this message as is the log section where it shows my settings.

But before all of that: How do I know I'm configuring my PVR 350 card correctly?
I have it connected to my satellite box via a scart cable.

I don't know if GB is failing to read the capture card properly or reading it fine but failing to play back. How can I test each part individually?

When I run the MCE setup it finds 3 or 4 inputs from the card automatically, selects the one that has a feed and shows it to me. It calls this "composite 1". It also shows "composite 2" and "Svideo 1" but they have no signal.

So how do I set up the equivalent in GB?

I selected "Direct Recording Plugin", then my card, then country UK (I'm in portugal but it isnt there at all - we use PAL-B here and I'm assuming that a) it’s the same as the UK, and b) this selection is not very important anyway)

I selected Capture Device #1. Is that right? What are the other 3? How do I know my Hauppauge card is #1? Should I experiment with the others? (I have no other cards)

Then for source I tried "Composite, External Tuner" which seemed the most likely given MCE's selection of "Composite 1". But I also tried "Composite 2, External Tuner", "S-Video 1 - then 2 - External Tuner", "Fixed …". Etc.

I'm using overlay mode, not VMR9 - though I have tried that too.

I haven't tried EVERY combination but pretty much all of them. And I get nada for LiveTV.

I have tried playback both on my video card and tv out on my 350. Same result.

My software video decoder options are System Default and CyberLink Video/SP Decoder. Tried both.

I have a new fast machine, plenty of disk space and no other problems. This part was easy in MCE (though I find the rest of it too restrictive in configuration).

I don't have a blaster yet - other than the one with my MCE remote which it seems will never be supported on other PVRs, but I do have a USB-UIRT on order. I'm assuming the lack of a blaster shouldn’t prevent me from seeing anything. Right?

Any help appreciated. I like the look of GB-PVR and it’s a shame to be so thwarted at such an early stage.


thanks,
rhubarb

First of all, very good program. Maybe somethings for the future on this wishlist.

LiveTV: make it a choice for timeshifting, now it is alway's recording when you watch liveTV.

And as second, a network vesion with one server and multiple clients. I watch my recorded tv shows on a network.

Are there any plans to support a Tevion TV7134 Capture card. It's a Philips type card. Has FM radio and remove connection.

Got some software with the card but it's rubbish.

Let's hope support for this card is in the pipeline.
