This plug will not let me shut down the computer. it says previlage not accepted or something of that nature..any suggestions

Hi all,

I have started a wiki with the goal that we all can help sub in creating the much sought-after GB-PVR manual. It's not much there yet, I have recreated subs Quick start guide and FAQ, but I have also created a structure that I belive in, throwing in some (old) texts as starting points.

Sub has also started this forum, so that we can discuss all things related to documentation here.

The wiki can be found at http://www.gbpvr.com/pmwiki

You are all invited to take a look and give feedback here.

Just a note about this one (sub has just put it up on the plugins page) - it's still a bit of a work in progress, as a couple of the screens (such as the recording options sub-menu) don't yet entirely support the larger font sizes I am using.

I'm basically using it because most of the other skins were a bit difficult to read on my smallish TV, so if anyone else is having a similar problem, this might be worth a look.

cheers,

Is it possible to restart the MVP service, whilst GBPVR is recording.

My MVP has been upnplugged and is trying to boot, but it is failling so I wanted to kill the GBPVR MVP bit so i can restart the Huauauauuaupauge software to get it to boot!

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Paul

I have a PVR-350 and unfortunately have to use an external set top box to decode the cable in my area (UK provider is NTL). Has anyone got experience in controling the STB without the use of an IR blaster. The stb is a pace and has a usb socket on the back, there must be a way of connecting the computer to the stb without dangling IR blasters all over the place.

Anyone got any ideas, if not how well do the blasters work.

Hi all,

first, thanks to the author of GB-PVR for this absolute
great piece of software.
Second, thanks to the authors of all of the nice plugins
for GB-PVR (actually i am translating the weather plugin
to german, including all the units).
Today i installed the Music Albums plugin. Attached, you
will find the translated (german) texts to copy them into
your language.xml. Aditionally i changed the texts inside the
pictures. Just put them to the skin\musicalbum directory.
If you´re searching for legal cover-jpgs to use it with the
plugin, you will find them (or most of them) at
http://www.alphamusic.com.
Just search for an album (cd), follow the link of the search
result an click the shown cover to enlarge it. With 'Save as'
you can get and use it as 'Default.jpg' in your album folder.

Best regards, Thorsten

Well i was unable to register NO CLUE why. after doing it for the 500 thousand time (ok maybe only 50 times) it works!


in anycase i did get my system up and running last night
My Case:

PVR 350
Asus P4VP-MX Mobo
Maxtor 40gb hd (this is just for OS i am going to get a 120gb + soon)
256 ram
p4 2.0
I also went and go this keyboard

Thinking that i would use the pc as a regular pc in addition to an HTPC but being that i like the output of the pvr 350 vs a generic tv card w/ video out doesnt look like this kb will be of any use except configuration.

I also just got a DLink wireless card from a coworker so that will be going in as well.

Like a mentioned i also added a generic old 64mb video card i had lying around w/ tv out whcih i use for configuration.
Video 1 - PVr 350
Video 2 - Crappy TV out
Video 3 - DVD player/gamecube

i have also been thinkin of just setting up VNC server on it for configurations.

the setup was pretty easy

Just had to use the older drivers for the pvr350. The newer ones would not work for some reason.

also i have no gotten my hauppage remote to work. I did not install any additional software for the remote. Any advice?

I also could not get the theater plug in working. I got an error c:\theaters.xml not found. And the weather plugin did not work.

oh yeah 1 more question
what is the default port for the web portion, I am at work and i want to see if i set it up correctly.

ok thats it for now ill be around
thanks for the help.

I cannot get this software to work. I have done the tuning assistant and been through the config. When i try to set up a capture source it will not let met set up the epg or save my settings.

I'm using latest version GBPVR, with a PVR-350. OS: Win 2003 server. Latest drivers, directx.

When I try to play a recorded file through tv-out, GBPVR only plays the first 2-3 seconds of the recording. After that the movie stops showing the last visible frame.'

I tried different settings but cannot get it fixed. Maybe someone knows how to fix this?

The native log shows me the following errors:

16:57:47.156 VERBOSE Pvr350Helper::ShowImageUsingPVR350() complete

I recorded some VHS tapes via Hauppauge 250. They play fine but when I try and fast forward or rewind the screen goes black and eventually MVP comes back with the "connecting to server" message. Here are 2 errors I found in the gbpvr.exe-1.log file:

11/4/2004 8:13:06 AM.729 ERROR [35] Media stream thread caught exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
11/4/2004 8:13:06 AM.729 ERROR [35] at m.ah()

Any thoughts,
Thanks
