When choosing LiveTV only a black empty screen is shown. A .mpg file is created with size 0. Is there any special setting I have to do for my PVR150 card?

I've tried searching to see if this has been asked before but I get 10 pages of search results no matter how I word my query.

Anyway, I've been using GB-PVR for about a week now and love it - thanks sub, definately the best app. I've tried so far with my PVR 350 and MVP.

One minor point (and it is pretty minor) - the TV Guide shows the channels sorted in ascending channel number order. I'm in the UK and have grown up with the order of programmes on TVs and videos as BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5. Unfortunately, ITV1 is ch. 23, BBC1 is ch. 26 and so on. This makes the order on the TV Guide screen as ITV1, BBC1, Channel 4, BBC2, Channel 5.

Is there any way to force a manual sort order? It would feel more comfortable to look at.

Thanks,
Brian

sub can you make it so the Date (eg "Mon/26&quot and the TimePeriods are individually placed? presently if you increase the font size or on some fonts, the date comes very close to the timeperiods and is offcenter to the channel icons. eg trying using <"TimePeriods" font="Tahoma" size="13" style="bold"> and you should notice what i mean.

cheers,

I've been toying with the gbpvr software on the Hauppauge MediaMVP to play back recordings.  I use the Hauppauge remote to control the MediaMVP.  On previous versions of the gbpvr software, I've found that if I hit fast forward or skip after the movie has played for about 90 minutes, the movie restarts from the beginning rather than fast forwarding or skipping.  I just downloaded the latest version, (02311) and the skip now seems to work but if I hit fast forward, it still restarts the movie.  After 90 minutes of play time, the only way to watch a movie I've taped is to watch it in real time.

If I use the Hauppauge software on the MediaMVP to playback the movies, fast forward works fine.  I'd prefer to use your software, as it is much more functional than the Hauppauge.

Any ideas?  Thanks for your help.

I am considering writing a plugin which allows me to schedule recordings by using a command-line program. The straightforward but not very comfortable way would be like follows:
- start gbpvr and activate the AddRecording plugin: gbpvr.exe -direct "Add Recording"
- call a command-line program which communicates with the AddRecording plugin via some IPC mechanism: AddRecordingToGBPVR <recording parameters>
- terminate gbpvr manually after having added the recording.

A more comfortable way would be to start gbpvr without GUI, handing it over the recording parameters via the commandline and than automatically terminating gbpvr, e.g.: 'gbpvr.exe -direct "Add Recording" <recording parameters>'. To do this, I need to know some things and I wonder if someone can help me:
- Is it possible to start gbpvr without a GUI, but activate a plugin?
- Is it possible to access command line parameters of gbpvr by a plugin?
- Is it possible to terminate gbpvr out of a plugin's code?

does the original developer mind if i edit and fix a few of the little bugs etc in the weather plugin, like fixing if at main menu press down goes to the top, will draw a screen and text like "downloading weather info please wait" and not just wait until its downloaded it before it displays anything, and make it more skinnable, i just want to know if i can post my changes and possible update the wiki with my edit (ill take no credit, i dont care, just want to fix a few things).

I hope to use GB-PVR in a car, using a touchscreen rather than a remote control.

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any way to traverse menus without the use of a keyboard / remote.

Adding this functionality should be fairly straightforward by making the down / up arrows clickable and providing additional cursor buttons where necessary, for instance the TV guide.

What do you think?

Hi,
I'm testing DVD2MPEG. I have installed all like it is documented in the pdf. When I start the module, it shows that it is a 3-way conversion (not 4 like written in the doc). OK, but after the 3rd point there is no MPEG in the targetfolder. In my temp-folder there are 6 files:
- audio.ac3
- audio.mp2
- BeSweet.log (attached)
- video.m2v
- VTS_08 - Stream Information.txt
- VTS_08_0.IFO

What could be wrong with my configuration?
