I just picked up a WinTV Go card and tried to install and run this but nothing happens when i start it. Is the card even compatible? If someone else is using it what settings are you using for gbpvr config?
To whom it may concern, it seems that comskip will only run on the last file in a string of back-to-back recordings. Would someone verify this and if this is indeed the case, is there a remedy? Thanks!!
because of the freeze problem with the PVR 350 if you use the TV-out, I try to use the TV out of the onboard card.
It is a VIA UniChome (VIA EPIA ME6000) it works, setting GBPVR to use software decoder, but it is very slow.
there should be a mpegII decoder in the ME6000, does it not work this way? do I something wrong?
I was getting sick and tired of having to remember to shut down the Hauppauge service prior to starting up GB-PVR, and since I wasn't using it anyway, I just decided to uninstall it.
Since then, I can't get GB-PVR to load into my MVP. It is getting stuck at the "Loading Application" screen. To complicate matters, the MediaMVP is connected wirelessly (via a LinkSys game adapter to a LinkSys router). I have tried just about everything I can think of to get it to work to no avail.
On a whim, I reinstalled the Hauppauge software, and it loads without problem, so I don't think that the wireless connection is the problem. I also disabled the firewall, but that didn't fix anything either.
It appears that after the MVP connects and gets an IP address via DHCP, it starts to transfer data wirelessly, but then stops after a couple seconds and doesn't really get any further than that....
Any ideas why the application would fail to load?

UPDATE: After having played around for awhile and reading some of the stuff on this forum, I finally got GB-PVR to load, although in a very round-about way. I had to start the MVP with the Hauppauge software, then start GB-PVR, then shut down the Hauppauge software, causing GB-PVR to show up on the MVP. Kind of a pain, but works just fine.
I have recently got my PVR up and running thanks in part to this site (I've read quite a bit before joining). I'm using to GB-PVR along with a PVR-250 and the MediaMVP. I have the GB-PVR software running on one computer that currently has two hard drive in it (that are both filling up quickly). Before I go out and buy a new hdd (external perhaps), I was wondering if it is possible to record to a network hard drive running on another computer. I tried last night with no success. The other computer has two drives as well, one contains the OS (both are Win XP), and the other is completely blank. I tried just typing in the path under directories as the recording destination, so it looked like this
\\othercomputer\d\videos
When that didn't work, I tried mapping the network drive on my main computer as the R drive
R:\videos
That didn't work either. Anyone have any experience with this? Has it worked and I'm screwing something up, or is it not supported?
I usally start watching recordings before they have ended, but can't skip forward during this recording. Anyone suceeded with this?
I have reconfigured fast forward to skip 10 seconds, but this, as well as skipping 1 minute freeze the playback. If I stop and when start playing again, select "resume", it also freezes.
I've also seen this happen during timeshifting when the lag becomes, say above 30 minutes. Shorter delays works fine for me.
(I have a 3GHz CPU and it works fine if I watch and skip already recorded shows, even when recording is going on).
We all know that gbpvr creates relatively large files - so much so that I know want to compress some of the videos more. The question thus becomes what do you use to compress you're video's. I'm used to compressing DVD's, but as these are mpeg's the programs I use wont touch them.. so what do you use and why?
I can't seem to use the Jukebox plugin; every time I try to load it up it immediately exits reporting that an 'Object reference not set to an instance of a variable'. Anyone have an idea? (I had not actually used it until now)
Also, can the jukebox play CDs?
Thanks!

Hi everyone the latest version of GBPVR is excellent I'm actually using it as intedned and it works great. I'm not sure if this is possible or if it might be a wishlist possibility so here goes. I want GBPVR to start up automatically as the systems comes up from a reboot or powerup. I do not have a keyboard I typically VNC to the PC and login that way. I have it plugged into my tv with the PVR350 so it's really my main tuner. Is their anyway of having it start up in the background as a service? I know the the recording service starts up that way but i'm not sure if the GBPVR.EXE can start up during bootup and minimize itself without having to login? Any ideas would be appreciated also I know that I can have windows xp do an autologin with the registry but I want to avoid that for security reasons, if that's the only way for now then I'll just do that.
