Hmmm... is the application supposed to use that much memory when idle, i.e. only the menu running ?

Update: I disabled Xrecord-plugin, and now it's using 45mb.. quite a difference there yeah...

But, and a big but this...
I see that the app doesn't return used memory..
So, from start gbpvr uses around 45 mb, and after browsing the menus a couple of times the usage is up at 70 mb and raising...

Not a grave problem, i have 512mb ram available, but still...

Not sure if this is available, or possible.

I think GBPVR would be a great medium for DAB playback.

The Psion Wavefinder produces MP2 streams via http links so would it be possible to play these ?

Presently use either winamp or slimserver to play it but would be v.cool to play DAB collection from Kitchen TV.

Thanks

Two things:

Version 0.64 is available now. Wiki page has 0.62 available for download. Can get it from here.

It states to unziip the two files into the gbpvr directory. However there are 3 files now. comskip.dictionary (apparently for use with closed captioning detection method).

The wiki is very useful!

First of all I would like to thank sub for everything he has done. AWESOME. I have my gb-pvr all setup on, and it is working great.

My questions are:

1. How long does it usually take to change channels in LiveTV mode. (mine takes 3 or 4 sec).

2. Will I gain any big advantage if I upgrade my processor or ram? Currently it is working fine, but if it will be dramatically faster then I will look at upgrading.

3. Is there a description of what the buttons on the Hauppauge remote do by default? There are 4 colored buttons, but I haven't quite figured out what all 4 do.

Thanks everyone.

I was watching live TV on channel 4 last night and a scheduled recording was set to occur on channel 9.  At the specified time my live TV froze, turned wacky colors and seemed to play two frames of video over and over.  This was a bit annoying BUT the recording on channel 9 had stolen the tuner and so its no suprise...I'm glad the recording did not fail so while this was a bit strange, the outcome was exactly what I wanted (I was doing this as a test so was anticipating something unusual happening).

Is this the designed behavior?  For me it was no big deal, but if my wife encounters this she'll probably throw up her hands and say its broken.  Is it possible to have a nice message come up explaining what is happening and giving the user the option to cancel the recording and continue watching live TV or switching over to the recording channel (maybe 1 minute before the recording is supposed to go...you have 60 seconds to make a decision otherwise it boots you out to the main menu and the recording begins)?

Another question...once I returned to the menu, went to recordings and selected the currently recording show the OSD was different than I expected.  I got a blue bar at the bottom of my screen that showed a total length of just a few minutes and the blue bar quickly filled up the whole 3 minute space and stayed that way to the end of the show.  What does that mean?  I guess I was expecting OSD just like when I'm watching liveTV and hit the blue button...the graph at the top of the screen showing some red (part of the show that has not been recorded), green (the part that has been recorded/watched), black (the part of the show remaining) and a white arrow showing where in there I am.

Some clarification on the different OSDs I see would be helpful...thanks!!  Sorry if this was supposed to belong somewhere else (wishlist?).

I had a recording scheduled for 3 am last night. When I woke up this morning I found out that it only recorded slightly over 5 min of footage. I checked free HD space and there was more than enough to hold the recording. Is there any place I can look to see what might have happened?

Hello,

will there be any support for the older WinTV PVR from Hauppauge in the near future?

Thanks,

Hendrik

Hi all,

Thanks to Sub for excellent effort, which I have been evaluating for the last week.
After a bit bad start and complete reinstall of windows things have started to work ok now.

Few questions though:

I have noticed some difference on the PC version to the MPV, like:

1 - The mini guide works on PC but not on MVP along with all other overlays, should it work on MVP

2 - The resume option on the MVP doesn't prompt for resume or not, it goes to pause mode and if pressing the 'OK' button it resumes but if I don't want to resume, what button do I press and should there be a prompt?

3 - Is there any other obvious differences between the PC vs MVP software.

4 - is it normal to have to restart the GB-PVR-MPV software regularly, and if so, how often should I expect to have to restart it.

Thanks in advance for your effort in answering this questions.

If I hit <ctrl>-right the video should jump ahead by a minute. Sometimes it jumps back by a few minutes instead, then repeated presses go forward minute by minute after the initial skip backwards. Have you ever seen or heard of this?

I often don't know when GBPVR is recording. If I try to hibernate (or power down) when it is recording, I want GBPVR to tell me "I am recording blah. Do you really want to hibernate?" and I will always say "no!". As it is I unknowingly lost an important recording.
