Could you allow us to change the name of a thread that we have created after it is created. This would be quite useful as, for example, I have just released a new version of my scan theme, but for the sake of tidyness want to keep it all in the same thread. For people who don't bother to read every new post they wouldn't know that a new versions out, but rather think that someone else has probably commented on it. If I could change the thread title to 'scan theme (07/10/2004)' then it would be easy for anyone casually browsing the forums to see that there is a new version out...

OK, first off, great product you produced there Sub. I really admire it. I tried ALL (or nearly) other options out there:

SageTV: Nice, but I live in Belgium where you can't use regular xmltv. You have to use a somewhat modified version of it that produces the required .xml file. Sage has an import plugin for such files, but it failed to update correctly. I always had to rename and reorder all channels... Also, Sage has a unintuitive UI

BeyondTV: Only TV, but for the rest it looked OK

GOT all media: Didn't get it to work correctly with my PVR350, but that could be my fault. I didn't try too hard...

myHTPC: development stopped

Showshifter: nice, but not better than GBPVR and paying.

Myth: My PVR350 isn't supported yet (newest LG tuner), neither is my compro gold (although that one worked with TVTime)

Some others...

But GBPVR is the first that get's it all right: PVR350 TV-out support, great XMLTV import feature, nice UI (although my GF says she can't read the onscreen text very well, maybe a larger text skin might solve this?), extensive functionality, ...

Now my question: We are moving to a new appartment in a few weeks. What I would like to do there is this:

*Imagine 3 rooms. One bedroom, one study and one living room.
*The study contains the gbpvr server with two PVR350 cards (have to buy one more, but that's no problem.
*The bedroom contains a 16:9 projector with scart input
*The living room contains a 4:3 tv with SCART input

Can I do the following:
*Connect both the projector and the tv with the GBPVR server via a hauppauge media mvp with a WirelessG ethernet bridge?
*Watch a different channel on each screen (because of the dual tuners)?
*Do all selections (what to record, what pictures to watch etc.) with the mediaMVP remote?
* Watch e.g. different pictures, or different recorded movies on each screen?
*Watch a DVD in the servers DVD drive on the projector via the MVP, with 5.1 sound provided by digital cable coming out of the audigy card in the server (so screen via MVP, 5.1 sound via a long audio cable between bedroom and study)

I know these are a lot of questions, but I just get excited about the possibilities...

Best regards,
Jan

I can't seem to get SBE to work. I just get a black screen. Sub says it's likely a codec issue...some work with SBE & some don't. I'm using the InterVideo codes that (I assume) came with WinDVD4. I don't know that I have any others to try. So, what's a good one and where can I get it (preferably a freebie)? What are y'all using that works well? Any advice will be appreciated...

Hi Sub,

Here is a suggestion that would be nice to have but, not need to have. When in the EPG, entering a channel number would take you to that channel and highlight it. You could stay on the same hour position and just move to the new number in that hour.

Example:

If you are looking at 7:00 PM channel 100, you could enter 245 and the EPG would jump to channel 245 and highlight the 7:00PM show.

I think this would help speed up EPG show selection.

Thanks for all your GREAT work!!

Get the following error message when I select to play a ripped dvd.

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

The dvd was ripped in full file mode using dvd ripper and saved under the following file format c:dvd/dvdname/VIDEO_TS.
I am trying to playback through an xcard, I can view the menu system fine on external tv and monitor so I know the xcard is working fine any ideas?

Kind Regards

Hi Sub,

I had to reload the GBPVR, but now the TV Guide won't pickup the channel logos.I made a copy of all the logos before reinstalling and copied them back into the media Dir.

Anyone ever have problems not being able to fast forward or rewind? I paused a live show, but was unable to skip forward or backwards using the remote or keyboard.

Also, is there any way to search this forum for old posts??

I was watching live TV and there was upcoming recording. At the time the recording was supposed to start the pvr350 tv out froze. I guess internally it changed the channel and started recording. Shouldn't the tv out show the main menu ? Is this a known issue in gbpvr ?

this is a big wish to the developer who made the dvd ripper (im not sure who made it, since theres no credit on the plugin page) but i was looking at the code, and at dvd decrypter and it seems possible (easyish for the person who actually made the ripper plugin) to add the ability to burn a ripped dvd iso to a dvd. since dvd+9r (dual layer) are common now, theres no problems with the dvd size. i tried having a go at it but got confused with the send commands to the dvddecrypter, and thought the author might be able to do this easily. so please please please consider doing this.

I've got GBPVR installed fine, ran through all the settings preferences to get my PVR-350 working, but I can't seem to get the Hauppage Remote to work at all. I left the Default (Hauppage) setting in Config under the Misc tab for "Remote Control Type" and then even tried checking the "Use direct access..." box since I don't see IR.EXE running as a task.

Should I see something in device manager indicating that the IR hardware is recognized? I downloaded the latest drivers from Hauppage when installing just now... didn't even use the CD that came with it. Everything else is working fine with channel detection and playback through the PVR-350's video out.

Any help appreciated! Thanks.
