I have no need for a password screen for the web interface. Is there an easy way around this? (besides recoding the web pages)

These were mentioned in one of the developers threads. Thought I'd repost here so they don't get lost in the shuffle.

While on the main menu, the ShowMessage() shows the string fine. However it does not erase by itself. Looks like there is a timer involved, but after it expires the text stays on the menu until you do something like down arrow or change to a submenu item and return. The text does not seem to display at all when playing a video. And last but certainly not least, it seems to hang gbpvr when gbpvr is on live tv when the message comes in. Note that I am running strictly on the PC, no display on a TV. And, no cable or anything connected to gbpvr, so no video signal.

I downloaded and ran GBPVR02311.msi
after installing microsoft .net, on WinXP pro.

Error 1720: There is a problem with this windows installer package.
A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personell or package vendor.

I removed and reinstalled both .net and the msi to no avail.
I re-downloaded the msi twice to no avail.
Is there a bug in the install script?

Hi

I've just ordered a Hauppauge PVR150 but I'm still wondering how to contol my digibox (Panasonic). I've had several suggestions as Red-Eye or UIRT IR Blaster. Red-Eye is easly available and resonably cheap but I've don't know how good it is? IR Blaster is well recommended but is difficult to get (I'm in Sweden) and expensive, especially as the shops that ship it from the USA want around $50 in shipping costs which is more than the cost of the IR Blaster itself?
Has anyody got any other good suggestions for control that works well with gbpvr or even know of a cheaper supplier for IR Blaster in Europe?

Thanks in advance

sub you think this would be a good idea, to use the ff/rwd buttons to either skip 6 hours ahead/behind in the tv guide, or 12 hrs? just thought it would be handy.

also it would be nice if you could input a number via the remote and press the ff/rwd button to skip that many seconds, like the mins via the skip/replay button.

Hello,
I'm new to GBPVR and I have been unable to download Zap2it tv listings. I have had a membership on Zap2it for a few years.
I have tried both my login & creating a new login with the same results.
I'm using pvr 250mce & 150. Cable modem, WinXP pro.

I have verified my Zap2it login @ the site and it works fine.
When I try to update the EPG it tells me that I do not have it configured correctly. All firewalls are turned off.

If anybody has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
rick

I need someone to tell me if I have this all correct in my head since all the hardware hasn't arrived yet. I just got my Hauppauge PVR 250 last night and got it installed along with the Hauppauge software and BG-PVR. My digital cable comes out of the cable box on channels 4 and 7 for different TVs. I haven't received my USB UIRT yet but I'm trying to play with some of this ahead of time. I configured GB-PVR to use the (currently nonexistent) USB UIRT for changing channels. When I go to the guide and select a channel (for instance, channel 24) it changes the tuner channel off of 7 and all I get is static. Is it smart enough to know the USB UIRT isn't there yet, or do I need to configure something else so that the PVR 250 stays on channel 7?

I have a question......

I am in the UK, have 1 x PVR350 (might increase this next year so you can see the reason for the question).

I have COMPOSITE used from my SKY box so has one input and SKY does the rest (no IR control yet). I download the channel guide from BLEB (I think its called as PVR isn't here with me).

I also have an internal Analogue tuner for 5 channels which I also use BLEB.

When I go to the guide and select a recording how do I know which input (COMPOSITE or TUNER) is coming from?

This same question will apply if I have more than one card as they will be all the same guides (BLEB)...

Many Thanks
Ashley

Hi sub,

Could you please allow for more than the current 256 characters per program description in the EPG? My EPG source tends to have rather long descriptions, which are currently cut off when imported in GB-PVR.

I guess this would require some scrolling mechanism in the popup that appears when selecting a program in the EPG.

Any plans of doing something with additional EPG data like category, director and actor?

Regards,

Jan

Hi, first off great software! It's really quite awesome.

Problem: I can't seem to get GB-PVR to work on my intended system. GB-PVR startup warns me that VMR9 and VMR7 are not supported on this system, and when I try to use overlay, the app just hangs forever.

It's an older laptop (3yrs old), which from reading other posts would normally just toss this up as an unfixable problem. However, since apps like WinTV2000, Windows Media Player, etc. play video perfectly on this system, I thought I'd post here to see if anyone had any insight on any possible solutions.

Specs:
PII 600MHz
512M RAM
8MB ATI Rage Mobility Pro with TV out
Hauppage WinTV-PVR USB2 (connected via USB2.0)
Windows 2000
DirectX 9c

Main questions I have are:

Would installing WinXP help?
Would/could a newer video card driver help?
Any other configuration settings I might try?
