Hi everyone!

Finally got my hardware in today, and I have run into a couple issues and I would appreciate any help that can be provided.

1. Upon starting GBPVR locally everything looks and sounds great, however on my TV (with the mediaMVP installed) I am not getting sound.

2. Video playback seems to stall for a split second then resume. Both devices are hooked into a 100 megabit switch.

3. Video output on from the mediaMVP seems to have a refresh rate problem or something... lines in the picture seem a bit unstable.

Thanks again for any help you can send my way. I really appreciate your time!!!

I installed the wintv software and installed the ic.exe software which is the remote software. Then I installed the gb-pvr software. I have everything working but the remote. I did channel changer .exe and the I put in the ir.exe and then it has a parameters and it says {channel}. But when I start the gb-pvr software the remote does nothing can somebody please help. thanks.

I posted this in the wrong forum... Sorry, but here is the problem:

My config:

PIII 800mhz
512mb ram
Windows XP sp1
Hauppauge 350PVR (svid out to hd tv)
VMR7

My Problem:
I am running the latest release of GBPVR. I have been reading the forums on GBPVR memory usage. It seems that my machine will record 2 or 3 shows... then get a "virtual memory error" and GBPVR locks up. A restart is needed to fix.
I look at my task manager and I see that the memory for the recording service and gbpvr.exe keep creeping up and never come down. I also noticed that if I fire up the OSD there are two instances of GBPVR.exe. Is this correct?? I have a batch file that restarts the recording service for a temp fix. I restart it every night at about 2 am. I've read the "almost give up" thread and tried the dll fix... no good....Any thoughts??


Thanks

When installed my GB-PVR, in the DVD section of settings it said you need Daemon tools to mount a DVD image, then specify a SINGLE drive as DVD drive..
This made me feel that I can only play ONE DVD iso (or VOB files) at a time. To change that, I need to exist, go to Config, then remount my other image to the same DVD drive letter, then restart GB-PVR..
Is this Correct?
If yes, then there is NO way to get a list of all DVDs ripped to my HD (kinda like the mp3 folders list in Music). This is a BIG minus here I think..

The weird thing is, I found in this thread Link that you can specify a command line option to start GB-PVR playing DVD from a folder:

-dvd:c:\dvds\AceVentura --> start a DVD from the hard drive (by pointing at directory containing ripped DVD)


How come I can play from a folder using command line (which means GB-PVR should be shut down then restarted) but I cannot do this from the main menu..

Any plans to add DVD Library browsing to GB-PVR?

ALL THIS ASSUMES THAT 'My Movies' Bottun on GB-PVR does NOTG allow you play VOB files (DVD ripped in folder), or DVD ISO...

Any comments how to go around this??

Thanks in advance...

I am having problems with my PVR350 recording. It starts and stops correctly and records fine, just won't change to the selected channel to record. It seems to record from what ever the last channel viewed was.

I just "inherited" an older Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-PCI (Model 880) capture card. I am interested in setting up a PC based PVR, but would I be spinning my wheels trying it with this older PVR card? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have been using the GBPVR without a capture card and I have been waiting because I saw the new driver was released and some people had positive responses.

So... Is the 350 worth getting or is the 250 the better choice?

Is it possible to disable the security built into the new web scheduling service? The machine I have this running on is behind a firewall at home and I have sufficient security before I can get to it, so I don't need the extra login. I like to leave open a window with the Guide or the Manage Recordings tab, and then just refresh that page hours later. When I do so, I have to login again, and it takes me to the Guide page with the current time, rather than where I was before. I have developed in ASP for years, but haven't looked at ASP.net at all. I attempted to comment out the following lines in the *.cs files, like so:

// check user is logged in
//if (Session["LoggedIn"] == null)
//{
// ...if not, send them back to the login page
// Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
//}

That had no effect. I don't see any code in the .aspx files that redirects to the login page. How does this work? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

A lot of the development things we have theater listings, comskip etc would be helpful to run every night. Is there a way that we can invoke this commands? When we download the new schedule?

I am willing to provide a class that does the parsing of an XML file that contains the commands and will execute them. If you are interested in including this in gbpvr.

I see this as useful for comskip to run on all of the recordings that do not have the commercial information every night.

hi there,

i finally managed to complete the work on my movieDBPlugin. you can download it from here.

you need dvd-profiler from intervocative software. you can find it here.

make a list of your dvd's and export this list as xml-file to a folder of your choice.

edit the preferences in movieDBPlugin and enter the required paths.

how it works:
the plugin goes through your video-library and remembers every file (for now, even txt and jpg-files are displayed, i will change that). show all displays your hard-drive-movies and the movies listed in the dvd-profiler-xml. chosing an online movie leads you to the details page, where you can play the movie or (if it is a folder) display the files and then play the files.

you can also "add..." the movie to the dvd-profiler-xml. the details and movie-infos will then be added to the hard-drive-movie.

what doesn't work:
- movie list can contain non-movie-files.
- no sorting, no grouping
- only one folder-level (e.g. c:\....\...\movies and c:\....\...\movies\othermovie)
- no mouse support :-) <- will work soon

try it and report bugs and your wishes! thanks.
