Hi,
I just recently installed GBPVR, and it's rock stable. Great job.

Is there any way to start GBPVR full screen without the title bar and windows taskbar?

Thanks,

Has anyone tried spray on soundproofing? I have seen some products that will dampen the sound waves within the case.

Look this may be a dumb question, but i was wondering can two hard drives share the same directory..Like i said this is probably a dumb question, but here is my logic, say i have 100 movies on hard a, and 100 movies on hard drive b, is there any way to make the mvp-gb-pvr create one list of movies instead of two.

I have a new GBPVR setup and I have most things working quite well but I can't seem to fast forward or rewind recordings properly.

I can fast forward and rewind live tv but when I try to rewind a recording it will slowly skip back but it seems like it is constantly trying to go back into play mode so it rewinds a little, plays a little. If I fastforward a recording the video will just kind of skip a little bit and then play with audio out of sync at normal speed until I hit the play button.

I am running the latest version of GBPVR and my recordings were done at the medium quality setting.

Here is my hardware:

Shuttle SN41G2 with an Athlon XP 3000+ (Nvidia Nforce 2 motherboard)
512 MB DDR
160 GB 8MB cache Western Digital hard drive
Hauppage PVR250 with the silver remote using the remote support built into GBPVR.
ATI Radeon 9200 SE graphics card connected to an HDTV through DVI.
For audio I just connected the built in Nforce2 audio out to my receiver.

I am using PowerDVD 5 for DVD playback. (I mention this in case there is something odd happening with my MPEG2 codecs. I currently have it set to use the InterVideo NonCSS Video Decoder because if I leave it at system default video plays back in a window titled ActiveMovie Window.)

Any suggestions?

what is sbe and can it be used with the pvr 350?

also what are the best decoders and renderers etc to use? should i install ffdshow?

I was hoping to setup NetMeeting on my HTPC so I could take-over the desktop from my main PC. I can run NetMeeting's desktop take-over just fine but when I try to run GBPVR while connected or even with NetMeeting waiting for a call I get this and GBPVR bombs out. If I start GBPVR, then enable remote desktop take-over, I get this when I try to view live TV.

I only get these errors when desktop take-over is enabled on the HTPC. When I disable desktop-takeover or close NetMeeting , it works like a champ.

Any thoughts?

Here is a link to a post I have in support.

support post here

I do this because the same post is a mix of questions on how to do something (support issues) and ideas (wishlist issues).

AAAAH! Managed to register after 10 attempts!!!
...anyway...

I just found out about this great piece of software. Please bear with me for a while for an introduction and I hope you can help too.


I have used GotTV for quite some time, along with myHTPC. Then Meedio came and GotTV changed to GAM. Then problems started. GotTV plays ok if I start it stand-alone, but when started from within Meedio, I get no audio. I then tried GAM (GotTV successor) but this was even worse... program more frequently craches than works. I cannot even tune to any channel. Anyway... these problems made me look for other PVR solutions (this is where GBPVR comes).

Living in Greece with tvtv.gr dead (any takers?) I don't have a real interest for EPG (although yes it's interesting if the program implements it - I might be able to use it in the future) and I also have no interest in other functions or plug-ins (since for other functions I have Meedio or whatever) than playing live-TV (or timeshifted), recording tv and scheduling recordings. All these controllable with nice OSD, NOT looking like computer software (since I need it as part of my HTPC system). Also controlable with simple (better configurable! keystrokes that I may assign to my remote (but it's my problem I don't need the program to bother if I have a remote and what remote this is). Nothing else. THIS IS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. It's simple.

To make things clear: Can GBPVR be a plain fullscreen PVR (directly in full screen, without messages or graphics) with on-screen controls (non-mouse driven, configurable key driven) for play/pause/rew/ff/exit that hide when I don't use them? No need for skins or whatever, except if the skin is what would make GBPVR "transparent" for me - integrated to my HTPC setup. Also EPG to be able to be disabled.

Can it do something that simple? How?

The very little time I "played" with the program, I was confused with the controls and I don't like the fact that when I start it, I have to go through the menu (I only have TV + a media module set in the path of the recorded videos + exit) and THEN it starts TV. Then I didn't know what to press for the TV and record and timeshift functions (I am still trying to find a clean keymap listing). Also everything is in text, which is not configurable (I would turn it to Greek but since I cannot even configure the font, even the media module I renamed showed as Chinese)... at least it could be icons (universal language) like oldie-GotTV... Last but not least, I am not using my Hauppauge remote (I have a PVR-350) since I am using a different RF remote, but I am not sure if the program can work without the Hauppage remote (do everything with keyboard commands - as I said better CONFIGURABLE).

So what do you think?

(sorry for the long post)

Some videos that are dvd rips converted to mpeg are zoomed in too big and get chopped off. How can this be fixed..Also is there a way to leave the list of videos instead of the thumbnails by default..

Hi
