That just about says it. I was recording at 720x480 and realized I didn't need it that high, so I tried to change the recording resolution to 320x240. Now all my recordings are only the top half of the screen. Any ideas?

I’m having a #### of a time getting it to put the DVD’s in the right location.

For instance if I tell it I want it to go to F:\DVD then it puts it creats a directory in the rout of F: starting with DVD. For example F:\DVDNEW_RIPPED_DVD_HERE

If I want it in the DVD directory I have to make a NOTHER directory in there then it will rip it to F:\DVD

For example.

I say put it in F:\DVD\DVDS_GO_HERE. Then it will put it in F:\DVD and rip it to a new directory called DVDS_GO_HERE_NEW_RIPPED_DVD

Does that make since?

Can I change this?

Where is the search function on the forums?

Here's a screenshot of the new config dialog (accessible from GBPVR's Config app) for your viewing pleasure!



Feel free to post comments and suggestions!

This has been the case for some time now, since previous versions of GB-PVR, but I haven't got round to mentioning anything, and I don't have any clue if it's just me but I don't seem to be able to cancel recordings once scheduled, from either the TV Guide or the Recordings window.
Anyone else get/find a fix for this? Or just me?

Just a little'en! Because sometimes there are groups of channels with no guide information (like radio stations in UK), it would be 1000x nicer if the box with the name/pic of the channel was highlighted, maybe outlined as you scroll up and down, so you know which one you're on!

I was looking in the Misc section in config, accidentally selected MCE Remote and clicked back and ever since the remote control (Hauppauge) just doesn't work! USB-UIRT flashes when I aim it at that, so it isn't dead. Batteries ok. Plug for Hauppauge remote receiver ok, tried all combinations of ir.exe on/off 'use direct access...' to no avail and checked in irremote.ini in 'C:\Windows\'. One thought; when you change it to MCE remote, does it look for a different file rather than 'irremote.ini', cos it might not be setting back? I've tried replacing 'gbpvr.mdb' with an old backup of a working version (this version of GB-PVR still). Are there any log files that may help me?? The system is rendered dead without the remote!!

Just installed GB-PVR on my A7V333 with Hauppauge PVR-250. Installed the latest PVR250 drivers as suggested. Read the FAQ and examined the forum, but still have some problems. PC is according to specs, with Directx 9b.

1) How to configure channels that are offset (e.g. 48-- or 65++)? (channel manager won't find them)
2) When I click Live TV, the recording begins (mpg file is getting larger) but nothing on screen. Sometimes it starts after a minute or what. Already changed the DVD MPEG playback settings, no effect.

Any ideas?

Sorry about the title of my last post - I didn't mean to sugest the Rage Fury Pro was the best card!

I got GB-PVR running with no problems - thanks, sub! It rocks.

Now, I am trying to improve tv out quality. I have a Rage Fury Pro 32MB with hardware dvd/mpeg2 decoding. 2 Questions:

1) Do I have to set up anything in GB-PVR to take advantage of my video cards hardware-based decoding?

2) My machine is an 800mhz AMD Duron w/ 512MB RAM. If I get a different video card, should I stick to one with hardware-based decoding?

3) Based on answer to #2, any card recommendations?

Thanks

Justin

Hello all,

My card is a "lifeview Fly TV Prime 34" sold as a LifeView 3000.

I'm hoping someone can explain the hardware interface to me -- I haven't done any windows programming.

If I use openMC (too beta), beyondtv (too crap) or sesamtv (renders using flash on IE, and is broken anyway) they all come up and detect the card, telling me that I've got the card as described by windows. Given the quality of these programs I don't think they've got direct hardware support for the card, I reckon they're using some windows API to interrogate the system and ask for information about TV cards.

GB-PVR is perfect. It beautiful, it's polished. However, it wants me to choose my card from a (short) list which doesn't include it! However, if I choose the G07007SB recording plugin, I get:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I can continue, then setup a Lifeview tv walker mini or ultra (close enough?) but they also don't work, launching the program gives an exception thrown by an external component.

Is there some magic I can do to work around this, or can anyone recommend better software?

I don't need remote support, or any servers, or cartoon graphics or tv guides. I just want to set different times and channels to record on different days, and the software shipped with the card is ok for tv but crap for scheduling....

Thanks all......
