im setting up a pvr with pvr-250 and a 9600 gfx card. i was just wondering if anyone want ppl suggest for the type of mb/cpu? i was just going to get a 2.4 ghz celeron, but i read on a forum ppl where finding gb-pvr to run slow on a 2ghz pentium 4 (i think it was 4). from experience want do you recommend (ppl who are actually running gbpvr) ? all im going to use it for is a pvr, might extend it abit, to run dvd burner programs etc,(i might try make aplugin to do this via gbpvr) but nothing more, wont play games or anything (have xbox for that), just want to know what you think sempron or celeron (limited budget so cant get a p4)
Sub,
I've got a (rather messy) implementation of my (so named) XGC Plugin to switch between TV-OUT and X-Card out when going to and from Live TV, using Event Notification. I have one major problem: There is no 'event' for exiting live tv and it needs some event to realise it has to switch back again afterwards (otherwise it only changes over when ENTERING live tv).
Is there any other way I can recognise going back to the menu? Are any 'events' raised in any other shape or form?
I installed GB-PVR and it seemed to work the first time it booted up. However I had to restart the system and now whenever I try live TV or use the guide I get the following error message
'Failed to communicate with the GBPVR recording service" the it goes on to suggest I reboot however rebooting does not solved the problem. I am using a Hauppauge USB2 Tuner card however I also have a Hauppague 250 installed the same machine but I did not confirgure the 250 device. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i would love to be able to plug in my miniDV camera and capture it thru gbpvr, they are a dumb device so it shouldnt be too hard, i have no experience with stuff like this (still at uni) so i doubt i could pull it off, but if anyone thinks they might be able to program this i would love it
XMLTV for the UK is NOT working at the moment, as RadioTimes got a bit ars*y. It has been resolved and info can be found at: http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/
tv_grab_uk_rt needs to be replaced with a new, fixed version.. however - Only the source tarball is available yet for the new version. So keep a look out, and be warned if you update your XMLTV file and it doesn't work!!

If you right click whilst in GB-PVR it comes up with 'test message'. Whilst this isn't actually a very important change I do think that the message box should be removed as its just a bit random... something that was put in during devolopment that you forgot to take out sub?
Is there a way to change that the files get named? Â I am wondering if the name of the show and episode could be put into the file name. Â This would make it a lot easier for organizing them and not getting duplicates. Â For example:
currently I get a file name such as 100104_18001830.mpg or something but would like
100104_18001830_smallville_pilot.mpg or something like this.
or if the episode number is available, but I figure a title is always present.
I have a very noticable delay in audio via recordings or Live TV. Â Is this a common problem that others see too, or can anyone suggest anything to look at. Â I am using the PVR-350 for capture and output to the TV. Â The delay is probably less than a sec but is noticable when watching.
Whats s/w can i use to convert the mpeg files to dvd for subsequent burning?
I've seen stuff about converting to divx, but i want it to dvd so i can play it on a dvd player.
I've tried Cucusoft mpeg to dvd burner trial version but its not being recognised by my dvd player or on the pc.
Whenever I pause, if I press 'Stop' to get out of it or anything else, it goes back to the menu saying 'Please Wait - Initialising Channel' and then freezes. Also, I can't seem to get GB-PVR to update the EPG, I keep having this problem. I have an up-to-date XML file, but it's just stopped updating.
I'm using the PVR-350 on Windows XP.
