Ok this is doing my nut in. If I play any of my MP3 collection in GB PVR, their are distortional pops for lack of a better word. Playing it in Media player before GB PVR kicks in works fine. Just seems after I've loaded GB PVR.
Does this use its own CODEC, or can anyone explain what might be the source of my woes?
Gonna try and reinstall next I think as its driving me mad. Doesn't seem to effect my vids though just MP3s.

Hardware:
Shuttle SN45G2 Nforce 2 Ultra using the Onboard Card.
Hauppauge PVR350
XP 3000 +
256 Meg of Ram (looking to be upgraded).
160 gig HD.

Tried latest drivers, and old drivers on the Nforce Audio still no avail.

How to configure GB-PVR to bypass kmixer?

I just bought the Chaintech AV-710 audio card, and planning to use the high-sample rate channels, but I know that windows uses internally 'kmixer' or whatever, to pass all audio to the audio card. I know this mixer downgrades all sampling rates to 41KHz or something. Some players have options to bypass the 'kmixer' and use what is called in windows 'Kernel Streaming' (players like winamp, foobar2000 ...etc.).

is there a way to configure GB-PVR (maybe config file or something) to bypass the kmixer and use Kernel Streaming, or ASIO mode or whatever?

I am very critical about the audio quality, since I play a lot of music video DVDs from the harddisk, and any degradation caused by windows or what not is not favorable.

Is there a way to use the winamp plugin (kinda like the meedio winamp plugin) to resolve this?

Thanks for help in advance...

2 things:

1 - would anyone be interested in an italian language pack?

2 - where do I find / how do I install the wintvCap plugin? For some reasons, I would prefer to continue using wintvcap instead of the direct recording...
- direct recording is giving me problems of both quality (jumpy, messy, lo-quality recording) and size (about double the size of the wintvcap one).
- I don't have quite the time to fine-tune the GB-PVR configurations for my 250, as I did for WinTvCap
- I would also like to keep nomenclature / files consistent with the old ones
For this, I would like to use the WinTVcap plugin. But. I have not been able to select it as a source. How do I do that in the latest GB-PVR version?

Bye

First of all let me express my heartfelt thanks for this wonderful app !!!

I installed pvr-350 drivers including the ir.exe driver on XP. I have added gbpvr to startup menu so it starts up automatically on power on. I can see the IR icon also. I pressed some button on the remote (dont recall which one) and another window popped forward (MVP server process window) so I know the remote works. I have also used the remote and the IR cable on another linux installation. So no hardware probs.

What can I do to get remote support ? Please help me I am so close to getting an ideal pvr box in my living room. Thanks !!!

Album Art Tool
The application will quickly scan the folder and create a list of all your albums. Then it retreives artwork for each album and places it in the correct folder. All for FREE!

I'm on NTL, and I have a Samsung NTL box. If I select a channel such as 11 or 922, all that gets sent is 1 or 92, however 12 and 923 work perfectly fine. I believe this may be to do with the way the remote works on the NTL box which I noticed when using Girder; the IR signals alternate from one to another and back for the same button consecutively (don't ask), and it could be very simply remedied by having an option for people with this problem to send any identical consecutive numbers twice, so 11 would become 111 (or 1(11)) and 111 would become 11111 (or 1(11)(11)). So if a number is the same as the previous one, send it twice then do the same for the next number.

I use GB-PVR just for the skin/additional plugins for MVP (absolutely fantastic work guys) but don't need the recording service - (takes approx 30MB of ram) as I don't have a PVR!

Any chance of having the option of GBPVR.exe running as a service but disabling GBPVRRecordingService.exe.

I know it kinda defeats the object of this, but hey, If you don't ask...

Thanks.

Hi

Ive been having some success adapting the Blue TV Guide skin.xml to make it easier to read on my rather small TV.

Ive been able to deacrease number of rows on screen and increased the depth, also adjusted the text sizes and filled the space a bit more to help me see things better

I have moved the guide to the left i am unable to adjust the width of the half hour blocks or the overall width of the guide to fill the space at the right of the screen??

how do i do this?

Hola!

If I have a Net Radio station playing and I go into live TV, no matter what else it always just freezes on a black screen, and I have to End Task GB-PVR and restart it. Is this a bug?

I'm having real trouble with the remote control; the green mini-guide no longer works and when I press 'blue' for information, it always comes up but never goes away again afterwards no matter how many times I hit the blue button again!
I'm using direct access to ir.exe. Any suggestions? Anyone else having remote problems?
