First off, I'm a new user to GB-PVR and I'd like to say great job! sub, this is an excellent program.

I just have a couple of questions regarding the MVP interface. First off, on the guide the bottom gets cut off on my TV screen. This is the program description part. I can see all of the channel listings. Is there any way to rescale the screen in the guide? LiveTV is the right size and is not effected.

Secondly, controlling with the remote. I have noticed that not all funtions work with the remote. I assume this is due to the MVP more than the interface but... Specifically I can't change the channel while watching livetv. I need to go to the guide and select a channel. This is both with chan +/- and the number buttons. (I guess I should mention that I am using the Hauppauge 'silver' remote with a pvr-150) Is this true for everyone?

Any help or info is appreciated!

Hi,

Great piece of software and i'm nearly there however....

I set up Bleb and downloaded all of the channel xmls.

In the recording sources tab of the config app, i changed all the EPG source channel numbers to those of telewest and did the same in the Channels tab of the config app.

now, when i view the channel guide (via mvp on my tv), the channels appear, but no listing data....

Prior to changing channel numbers all info was displaying fine...

Am I missing something??

PS, if anyone needs a channel changer for telewest and redrat 3 i wrote a script that wraps the CLI tool.

Thanks!
Darren

I've just started using GBPVR and it worked great with the PVR-150 I had installed. I had an X Card in my stack of junk parts and it worked great with GB-PVR. If I could use multiple tuners it was time to build my GB-PVR PC.

The problem came when I added a second tuner (PVR-USB2).
I installed the drivers and created another capture device with GB-PVR config. GBPVR seems to be happy with the configuration, but -

When I select only one device everything is fine (live TV or begin a single recording)  if I select a second capture device like recording two shows at once. One of two things will happen.
1) Device 2 begins recording, Device 1 remains sleeping, both recordings are colored red in the guide.
2) The program crashes giving a C++ error
program gbpvrrecordingservice, file dbgdel.cpp line 52
expression: _BLOCK_TYPE_ISVALID(pHead->nBlockUse)

Ive tried switching the capture devices around, and both devices work perfectly by themselves with GB-PVR. The problem only occurs when both capture devices are used at the same time.

I'm using winXP Pro service pack 2 with the .Net framework installed

Any ideas?

Thank you!

VideoLAN is a is a free application which supports music and video playback in a wide veriaty of formats including DVD. I was wondering if it was possible to make this the DVD player for GB-PVR or can someone work on that?
VideoLAN website

just curious

Failed to load resources check setup..I have all my references..

ive been playing around with a widescreen skin (852x480), ive got it work pefect on weather,myvids,mymus,mypics (all the ones ive worked on ), but other things seem to have the 720x480 hardcoded in places, all that needs to be changed to allow for widescreen skins is instead of 720 and 480 hardcoded, is backgroundimage.width and backgroundimage.height, this will allow for any dimension for skins. heres a screen shot


ive tested in on the 350 and it looks fine. things i know need to be altered: main menu, tv guide, recordings, search tv guide, fastfind

the tv guide it would also be nice if you could adjust the bounds of the well tv guide, keep the 2 hours fixed, but for widescreen you could strectch it out about 120 pixels more allow for more information to be displayed. this is a quick fix, so i hope sub you can include this in the next release (well at least the backgroundimage.width/height fix).

cheers.

Okay,
I bought the USBUIRT. I have the RCA DRD480RE reciever with a Hauppauge USB2 250 and Hauppauge Remote.

I still cannot get the channels on my RCA reciever to change. My remote will change the OSD for GBPVR and navigate its menus, but when I turn the channel it only turns the channell on the OSD not the sattellite.

My USBUIRT does flash and light up each time I hit a remote button. Do I need to have the RCA box off or what... please help...

Thx

Hi. I'm soon purchasing a Hauppauge pvr-150, and I'm looking forward to using GB-PVR to record television. My whole goal is to be able to record shows, then burn them onto dvd. Right now I'm trying to get software issues figured out, so I'm wondering... can someone point me in the right direction for how to go about getting my recorded shows onto dvd (i.e. what software is best, what formats do I need, etc.). I'm very new to this, so I appreciate your help in pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks a lot!

So I'm looking to build a search function and also re-skin the web interface. I think the skinning will be easy. Is it possible to call the search controls using the aspx conponents? Is it possible to ask GBPVR for info using SQL or should I load the whole sheduale into ASP (which would be quite slow i'd imagine) and then use aspx to search it? Or maybe (hopefully) it is possible to instance a DSNless database connection and use ASPX ADO.net abilities to do my sql searching?? I haven't even tinkered at all yet but I'm looking forward to my first addition to the project.

Suggestions?

Is this even something people want? ...I know I would like it, as I sit at work trying to find and record fricken Battlestar Galactica (I think its on tomorrow).

hi all...

been playing with gbpvr for a few days with the idea of using it as a pvr frontend for meedio, but i've realised it's good enough to use on it's own, hope someone can help out with a few problems that i'm having (listed below)

1.is it possible to change the available channels in the net radio plugin

2. text cropping in buttons and on epg, i'm using windows large (120%) fonts which work well on tv

3.are there supposed to be on screen controls for the dvd player plugin ? once i start playing a dvd all i can do is alt/f4 to close the prog

4.if i launch an external app i get a black screen with a LAUNCHING EXTERNAL APPLICATION message, if i click on this screen the app i've started looses focus and i'm stuck in the black screen...alt/f4 needed again

5.how do i install plugins/skins as i cant find any info on this

done a search for all the above but could'nt find anything to help

thanks in advance....
