Well, I wrote in the "dutch cable" topic that it works for sweden too. And it does, it's just that when I was going to do it for real this time (I've only added a few channels before, to try things) the darn assistant won't help me =)
For some reason it seems that all the channels I'm interested in happen(?) to have the same channel numbers as they do in WinTv2000. Except for one. So, I do my EPG update, and then change the channel numbers to the ones taken off wintv2000. Now, I have this last channel, "kanal5" to enter channel number for. I start the tuning assistant for some help, but it crashes, with the fun "send error report to microsoft"-window. Now, I know that wouldn't help :-)
Sub, are there any log files that could help you help me understand what the problem is? Would it help if I sent you the error report that Microsoft wants? =)
You are comfortably sitting in your couch.
You start your movie ...
... the mousepointer is in the middle of your screen.
my program at "http://www.kima.at/setcursor.exe" moves away the cursor.
in my irremote.ini for the hauppauge-remote in the [GB-PVR] section:
BLUE={run(C:\Programme\setcursor.exe)}
I was wondering why when I go to Update EPG, it tries to log into ZAP2it and process the listing, but it never finishes. . . it can sit there for hours and do nothing. any thoughts?
can use xmltv to download manually....but have been trying for a month through gbpvr
thanks for helping
I just installed GB-PVR and got everything working correctly except, when i press live tv it just sits there for about 30 seconds and then lets me move around the menu again. i know my PVR-250 works because i used the turner program and it went through every channal and i saw live tv. any help would be great (p.s. i am pretty green with this PVR i have succesfully installed mythtv, but i know nothing about how this one works)
Where can one find a help or instruction file for the config section...specifically the Misc. section? I would like to know exactly what 'prompt for resume' and 'use SBE for live tv if available' is.
Also, how is it possible that I can record while my system is in standby?
the osd with the green button i get 3 lines perfect placement, but with the osd with the blue button the bottom line gets chopped about 5pixels. is there anway i can move it up a bit?
my wish:
I wish to get the MP3s from my music library and/or the currently received FM Radio program to be streamed to the PVR350. For the first iteration I would not mind the screen being black ;-) Second interation could create a video channel from algorithms like the itunes visualisation or the modules from winamp's AVS.
I'd love to do this as a plugin if that's not currently on the list for the next few months.
background:
What I did manage in GraphEdit so far was to create a temp mpeg file from a Fm radio reception (yes, image pitch-black) and at the same time start another instance of Graphedit playing back the same mpeg file (with the Hauppauge File Reader) to my TV. A little delay but it works.
A bit off wishlist topic:
I'd like to understand how I could get rid of the temp file but instead connect the two graphs in one instance of Graphedit?
Finding a set of files named like "livetv-5-1.mpg" indicates to me that there must be a file as buffer in between with the Hauppauge drivers. Trying to link the graphs directly gives me an "PIN incompatible" type of message. Which on a more general note always brings me down to the question: How do I know/find out whether PINS are compatible with each other and what media/stream they carry? I'm happy to email the graphs I am using (which is no rocket science at all) if one is interested.

* Europe enters winter-time next Sunday evening at 3 am. Did I see it right that GB-PVR already counts on winter-time starting midnight? I want to record a show that starts on daylight saving time, and ends on "normal time", and I see the start-time going one hour early, but maybe I did something wrong.
* GB-PVR accepts "UTC" as time zone. Would it be possible if GB-PVR accepts "CET" (Central European Time, which is GMT+1 or GMT+2 depending on the season) as well?
* For some PPV I enter programming dates manually, waiting my own XMLTV-grabber. I noticed that if I make a mistake, once a show is entered in the GB-PVR database with "update EPG", there is no chance to correct it. If I change the XML source file, and push "update EPG", the changes are not recorded. Does this mean that for other users, if a show is moved to an earlier hour, and the XMLTV data changes, GB-PVR does not take up these changes?
* I have one PVR-350 card, with which I can record all "analogue" broadcasts. I am hooking up my digital cable set-top-box to a fixed analogue channel as well, which will be controlled via an infra-red transmitter by GB-PVR. This means that in the configuration I have 2 capture sources, both coming from the same PVR-350 card. So far, so good. The GB-PVR status tray displays 2 tuners, which is a bit strange, since I clearly said that both are connected to "Capture Device #1". But that does not constitute a problem. There IS a problem when entering shows. Apparently GB-PVR looks at the number of tuners to handle collisions, instead of the "capture device".
i wish there was a button, color or otherwise, which i could press to jump back to the current time. i always go forward on a channel, then go see whats on another channel down a page and the easiest way to do it at the moment is to exit the tv guide and go back into it, just be nice if a button could do this.
