I am using the Picture Library plugin to show pictures, which are located on another PC in my home LAN. This works fine for the PVR350 TV-out GB-PVR client, but it does not work from MediaMVP.

I assume this is because the LocalSystem account running the MediaMVP GB-PVR server doesn't have network priveliges? Is there a way to overcome? Can the MediaMVP GB-PVR servers be started under my normal logon account? Or is there a way to get access to network resources from the current server MediaMVP server setup?

I am trying to use the Hauppauge remote and it just doesnt seem to work.

I even installed the WinTV app and it does not work.

I made sure the batteries are in correctly and even changed them. The IR calbe in pluged into the correct port on the PVR 350.

What could i be missing? I instaleld the drivers that came with the PVR 350 on the CD. I tried the newer drivers but the card did not work, so I am sticking with the old.
Could it be there are sep drivers for the remote that were not installed.

Would IR.exe somehow work with it. I am willing to use it if it works.

Has anyone made Search plugins or new web pages for searching/recording shows?

I've read a few other posts but being new to this forum, I don't know which version is the "next" version to support the new Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card. The version I have downloaded today is GBPVR0227.msi but I have no idea if it supports the card that I plan to buy today.

Please could someone tell me which version onwards has support for this card. I'm so glad I didn't rush to buy the PVR-250 now!

The Weather plugin works fine when using a local GBPVR process (displaying via PVR350's TV-out), but when I access it through a MediaMVP, I get a wrong date in a wrong format (...as of 11-Jun-2004...) at the bottom of the "Current" screen. It seems all the other data on the Weather plugin screens is OK and identical to the local PVR350 displayed data, i.e., it is actually displaying today's data...

I am using the date format yyyy-MM-dd, and time HH:MM. The PVR350 displayed date on the "Current" screen is in the correct format: ...as of 2004-11-07...

Hi,

Just a note to say new user of gb-pcr and I think it is excellent. Bought a PVR-350, USB-UIRT, media MVP installed on a 2.4GHz P4 with ease.

My only two downs were to reset the whole PC easily, found plugin (GREAT!, and this one once using GB in anger.

Please forgive this if this has already been covered... I looked throught the wish lists briefly and couldn't find it...

Intelligent estimation of the HDD space required

Problem:

I setup two programs to record then found that one had only recorded 1/2 hour and the other only 1 minute. Now I know its my fault for not checking the available space ( :-( ) but it would have been nice to be told that I didn't have enough space.

Solutions:

(1) In the configuration for gb-pvr you have the details of the amount of space direct recording/capture will take (Medium = 6MBit/s etc) so when a new program is added an estimation of the required sapce can be calculated and compared to the available HDD space with a warning given to the user if enough space is not available.

**OR**

(2) make the current settings available via an interface (don't know about your API's yet but I intend to have a look! so that plug-in creators could use this info give the user a breakdown of the HDD without needing to connect up a monitor.

Another angle could be to allow the setting of the recording quailty from the interface at the same time so if the user is running out of space then s/he can select a low bitrate so as not to miss the program.

Please do not see this as a critism, this is a great piece of software that I would love to see made perfect (or as near as possible #### it!

Also, another question for another topic really I should think is development environment. Can I assume from the system requirements of .Net that GB-PVR is written within that or was that required to access arcane pieces of the Windows XP environment :->

I'd like to encourage all plugin developers to add an entry for their plugin in the Plugin group of the documentation wiki.

Send me a mail with your prefered username and password, and you'll be on your way (This password thing is in order to prevent the wiki from being spammed.)

Jasonf have already made an excellent entry for the solitaire plugin.

Hi,

Thanks for helping.

Hi,
When I exit GBPVR or config.exe I get the following msg box.
.NET-BroadcastEventWindow.1.0.5000.0.5
WinXP+PVR-250+network connected
Internal Plugin : all but FM Radio
Plugins : Comics, XRecord, weather, Power M

I set log from error to debug -> works fine with config not with GBPVR.
Here is some logs, seem to deal with EPG update, but not sure:

Will there be support for the new PVR 150?
My PVR 350 has given up the ghost and Hauppauge have stoped making the 250 and 350 this means I need to get a 150
and I would hate to stop using GBPVR after all it is the best there is.
