I'm new user of GB-PVR.
I have a LifeView TV Walker Ultra.
I can watch LIVE TV ok, the problem is when I record.
The image is ok, but I hve no sound.

This is the error when I try to play with media player clasic:

Stream 1
AVI Splitter
ACM Wrapper

Media Type 0:

In GSPOT the audio codec tell me:

PCM Audio MPEG-1 Layer 2

When I try to render have the following error:

Failed to connect to Output Pin 0x00a493ec ("Stream 01&quot on AVI Splitter to Input Pin 0x00a29cfc ("Audio Input pin (rendered)&quot on filter 0x019a79a0 ("Default Direct Sound Device&quot, ConnectDirect() failed. Error 0x8004025c: Cannot playback the audio stream: the audio format is not supported.

Anyone knows how to fix this.

I love to get this working so I could rec without watching the picture, and get only 10% of cpu load at 720x576 Pal divx capture.
If I do it in Live TV the load get up to 75% of cpu.

Thanks.

I've just uploaded two of Jeffs new plugins to the plugins page. We now have a DVD2MPEG plugin which I'm sure will be greatly appreciated by MVP and PVR350 owner wanting to watch DVDs. We've also got Video Archiver plugin for managing recordings, and archiving off to the video library when required.

Here is a link to a PDF explaining this cool new plugins:

Thanks Jeff!

As a custom task in the plugin-list; currently only executables are allowed. Why isn't it possible to select a .bat-file?

BTW: Great job Sub! GBPVR does it's job perfectly!

Hello,

I don't know how XML works, but, I guess the first line "encoding..." says what character set are used.

My problem is that the XML grabber I use gives me a file that contains a "é".

"EPG update" stops reading the file at this point and gives me an error.

How can I correct this ti allow EPG to display "é" for instance.

Thanks a lot


PS: I'm not sure thers is no other "special" character.

Hi,
I did a plugin, it's in alpha stage. Works fine when playing
mp3 files, display not finished for video and normal state.
the LCD has to be plugged on COM1 (Read README to change it to something else)
When playing mp3 (should work when playing videos):
Line 1 : display author + title, LCD moving like in Winamp
Line 2 : time, mp3 position, mp3 length

When doing nothing:
LIne 1 : date time
Line 2 : programs recorded : name+ time stop

you can download the dlls(no source by now)
LCD Plugin download

One dll has to go into plugin directory "Test.dll"
The other one "BzhLCD.dll" into gbpvr directory.

Thanks for reporting bugs or improvements.

A thanks to Jan and sub for their help.

Hope this plugin will be usefull.

Regards,
Bzh

Another noob who couldn't find the answer among the many posts.

I distribute my terrestrial signals, and my cable signal around my house over a regular RF coaxial cable. I have GB-PVR setup at the moment to access the terrestrial channels only. However, I want to add the facility to record the cable shows on different channels ( e.g. Sky One, then MTV, then CBBC). I already have a USB UIRT to switch the channels when needed.

My issue, is how do I set up my PVR 350 so that it will change channels on the set top box for cable, but use the terrestrial signals for the other 5 channels (rather than engaging the set top box on a terrestrial channel) - all through one RF connection ? Or is my only option to set it up through the S video - a potential problem, given that my HTPC is 30 feet away from my set top box, and in another room ?

Thanks for your help - and particular thanks to sub for what appears to be a brilliant program - my wife thinks I'm a genius, and I've still only got it half working

There were two episodes of a show on today, 6:00-6:30 and 6:30-7:00. I used the TV Guide to setup to record show 1 then show 2.

Since I use pre- and post-show minutes (my PC clock is not that accurate, nor are our local broadcasters very diligent about being on time!, I was not sure what to do about the post-show padding minues of show 1 and pre-show padding minutes of show 2. I ended up setting them both to 0 in the 'record' screen (I chose 'record' rather than 'quick record'.

On the disk, I ended up with two files for the two shows as expected. But the 'break point' was not between shows, which is not surprising given the timing issues.

So what's the best way to record two shows like this? Ideally, I'd prefer to end up with one file with two shows in it but I can't see how to do that from the guide. Of course I can use manual recording, but there are problems with that (separately reported here) not using the pre-, post-show padding minutes.

Hey All,

Just this past week, my brother and I saw the good deal for a PVR-250 from CompUSA ($79.99 after rebates) so we decided to pick one up.

Eventually we plan on making a dedicated MythTV Box, but for now we just want to use it under Win2K.

So, I found GB-PVR from http://www.byopvr.com and it looked like the best free software for Windows. I downloaded, and installed it and followed all the instructions from the Quick Start and the FAQ.

But I have a problem: my channels just show up as static in GB-PVR. If I use the "Tuning Assistant" program, about 15 channels will come in, but none of the rest (and I don't know what that program does anyway).

I installed the Hauppauge software first and that stuff can find the channels just fine. I even uninstalled all that and GB-PVR and reinstalled GB-PVR and it still doesn't work.

Can anyone give me any pointers at all?

Thanks!

IS there a list of available keystrokes for GB-PVR available ??
I would like to use my wireless Keyboard with the XCARD (remote=broke)

sorry if this is already available in gbpvr, i couldnt find it. but sub could you add for more variable to the config file, xpos, ypos, width and height. so each time gbpvr runs it opens in the exact same position. (so perfectly fits my tv). or make it so in fullscreen position you can position the screen better. my tv has quite a bit of overscan.

giving up using the 350 tv out, until a stable driver is made. having sync problems and hangs to much.

if anyone knows how to do this (until next release or whenever sub adds it, giving that its not already available) can you tell me, either via free software or settings in win xp.

cheers,
