Can someone help with this most basic issue, how do I get it started? I have looked at the PVR software on my PC and it works great trouble is it won't appear on my MVP.

Have stopped the Hauppage service and still nothing?

PLease help. I have no tv card as yet so its just to view pics/video etc.

First of all: Nice piece of software!

Now for my problem:
I use the pvr250. When I select the Live TV option, all it does is write a small buffer file of app. 4 MB. I just get to stare at the menu while it's doing it. No errors whatsoever and when it is done writing the file I can contiue using the program...   but no tv.....

I can use the Tuning Assistant without any problems btw.
I must be doing something wrong, but what? I've tried the 'overlay manager' and 'vmr7' options on the playback tab. No result, although using 'overlay manager' results in a larger buffer file (I didn't wait to see how large it would get)
Also switching on the sbe setting on the miscellaneous tab didn't help (in that case no buffer file is written.  )

Maybe someone can help me?

Hi sub,
Is it possible to change the color of the top row of the forum pages. It is now barely possible to read the members, search etc. Blue doesn't contrast with black!

Hi all,

Has anyone had a problem with the MVP rebooting after playing a recording? When playing back a recorded TV program,and it has finished except for the adverts, I press the stop button on the MVP remote, the MVP goes to connecting to server. It connects ok after a few seconds.But then when I try and watch live TV,it won't start until I restart the recording services again. (Sub I have already set you the logs for this)

I am using GB-PVR Ver .227

Does anyone have a suggestion for ER, which starts at 9:59, making it conflict with shows from 9:00-10:00? I'd like to somehow adjust the start time to 10:00. Thanks.

Firstly I'd like to thank sub for a nice piece of software. I currently have GBPVR working quite well with Foxtel cable using a TIRA2 blaster via the girder plug-in. Due to limited outputs on STB the a/v signals are routed via my amp's record out to a prolink PlayTV@7000 capture card.

Unfortunately the amp must be switched on in order to pass through the a/v signal to record out. This is accomplished by using the sending a "on" command to the amp triggered by the GB_TUNE_EON event. I would like an event trigger at the end of recording that I could use to switch the amp off again.

Any ideas on how this could be accomplished.

Thanks
Darren

I posted details of this problem in this post, but got no response. Am I the only one experiencing this? Am I the only one to care? If no one else uses this feature, I guess I'll just shut up and hope it gets fixed someday!

I just downloaded the latest GB-PVR, hoping it would be fixed but it's not. Very simply, in the 'configuration' utility, I set a pre-show minutes and a post-show minutes of '3'. I then go into manual recording, and setup a recording for (eg) 9:00 to 9;30, each day. The first show records from exactly (*) 9:00 to 9:30, which means I often miss the very beginning. The second and all subsequent shows record from (eg) 8:57 to 9:33, as you would expect.

(*)-'exactly' - actually, starts around 9:00:30 (30 seconds after 9:00), probably needs to 'warm up' the tuner or something?

My current work-around is to choose to record from 8:50 to 9:40, which wastes a lot of space. Actually, my current work-around is to use WinTVCap, but I'm finding that the quality of the GB-PVR recordings is better, so I'd really like to get this figured out with GB-PVR !

I am building my own PVR and after a lot of research have narrowed down my best options to to using the PVR-350/250  + Media-MVP from Hauppauge with GB-PVR Software ( based primarily on a very good byopvr.com website article).  However, I do have a few questions  I am hoping to get answers to here:

(1) Let us say I use just the PVR-350 Card (no Media-MVP) and use its TV Out feature  to playback on a TV.  Would the GB-PVR interface be displayed on the TV or would it only display on the PC monitor ?  
(2) If yes for 1 above and if the  TV and PC are in the same room  can I use the PVR-350 Remote to control the GB-PVR Interface Menu (pointing the remote towards the PC) ?

(3) Would I be able to watch, pause and record Live TV using just the TV (not the PC Monitor ) with just the PVR-350 (tv-out enabled) and the GB-PVR or do I also need to buy the Media-MVP for this to happen ?

I know the Media-MVP does a lot more than just play/record live TV - but I am not interested in its other features ( play MP3s, display Photos etc).  

So basically, I am just interested in doing all my playback/recording using the TV and not the PC monitor and want to know if this is possible using just the PV-350 with GB-PVR and the supplied remote.

The other confusing thing about the Media-MVP is that it has a MPEG decoder - but apparently so does the PVR-350 for the TV-Out.  So if I do use a Media-MVP the PVR-350 would be a waste (other than the FM tuner and radio) so I suppose I should only purchase the less expensive PVR-250 ?


Thanks a lot in advance for any help !

I see the mute function bound inside the irremote.ini file (MUTE=m) but I didn't see it in the key bindings FAQ. Is a mute function implemented in the current version of GB-PVR? Also, is there a way to adjust the contrast/brightness of live TV?

Should the MVP boot from the GB-PVR service or does it need to boot from the Hauppauge service? I was under the impression that it would boot from GB-PVR but the other night I powered it down (unpluged it from the wall) to move it and when I powered it back up it would not boot (stuck on the Searching for Bootserver message) until I started the Hauppauge service. Then it booted, I killed the Hauppauge service, and was back up with GB-PVR. I have a dongle.bin in C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Dongle which I believe is the same file as in C:\Program Files\Hauppauge MediaMVP\Hardware.

Not a major problem, just wondering if perhaps I need to configure something diffeently.

Thanks...
