Although I think I set it up properly, each time I try to update EPG I am told it;s not configured correctly. I'm using Zap2it and am resgisterd and can login. Am I missing something?
TIA

I have the ATI TV Wonder Pro. My impression is that it has become very popular in North America.

unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be supported by the software.

I hope you add it to your supported cards soon!

Thank's again sub for that fast update.

I guess you'll take a rest first, but when you start collecting issues again, I have the following (not sure wether they are general or specific to my system):

- two helper-aps don't work: the tuning-assistant and the custom-button generator
- net radio doesn't work

I'm a little surprised that GB PVR doesn't support this rather widespread TV card. Yes, it lacks hardware MPEG 2 encoding, but personally I'd be happy using divx encoding done by my CPU instead - I currently do this with ShowShifter however I'm not too happy with it as it's slow and clunky. In contrast GBPVR looks great.

Am I missing something? If this is a planned feature, then great, but I'd be curious to know either way.

With the new version, the video zoom is now working, so I can stretch the display so it is at the proper overscan settings, but it also stretches the OSD & mini-guide to where they are off the screen.

Are there any settings to resize or offset the OSD seperate from the video?

I'm using a Hauppauge 350 in software mode with Intervideo Non-CSS decoder and was wondering if it's possible to use FFDSHOW post-processing with the playback. I installed it, and changed some options but I don't think it's doing anything. I also enabled FFDSHOW support in the GB-PVR config.

i am about to ditch my epia me6000/mythtv setup for an MVP/gbpvr setup. i have two questions:

1) will the commercial skipping functioanlity be available on the MVP interface?
the 0.22 changelog states:
- Now able to use comskip for automatic detection of commercials.....During playback you can press "0" followed by the skip forward or back keys to move between the detected commercial break points.

2) has anyone tried adding the MVP spdif port and feeding gbpvr output to a receiver with digital inputs?

i just had another thought, it would be cool if you could group channels by genre (like skytv.co.nz does on their website) like general entertainment, sport channels, music, family etc.

could put another rectangle down the side of the tv guide, with the genre title down the side (horizontally, txt 90 degrees not just one letter after another downwards).

could use the color buttons on the remote to jump to a genre (i think they're already in use thou)

just thought it would be a cool idea, dont expect it to be included any time soon, just a cool idea.

Using the MPV, I seem to be having trouble using the skip feature. I have the default skip set to 30 seconds, but it won't skip. I can't type in the number of seconds and hit the skip button, either. (commercial breaks are LONG in the USA!


This worked like a champ for me in the previous version. Also, the OSD comes on, and I can see the numbers I type if I type xx seconds to skip with the MPV remote, so I know the signal is getting to GBPVR.

Anyone else see this?

It would be good if when recording a programme, GBPVR also either created an associated INI file, or if possible meta data within the MPEG file. If there is interest I'm happy to research what existing standards might be around.

As I understand it the Programme details are currently only stored in the database. Should anything happen, such as moving the programme files, changing the capture card etc, then all associated data is lost.

In the future a feature may be to import recording's from another drive/system etc in which case this information could be used to populate the data. It may even flow over to the video library?

Its one of those things that has only a few uses immediately, but it its not there then it can't be used for future development.
