Can someone tell me how to configure GB-PVR to work with Plextor M402U. This device is supposed to work with GB-PVR. I'm from sweden and I use XMLTV-compatible o2grabber. By the way, I am not interested in EPG. I just want to b able to manually schedule a recording, by entering numbers. When trying to watch "Live TV" I get the following error message:

Error: Failure playing back file

thanks for a reply

sub please could you take a quick look at a simple workaround to allow GB-PVR to call Webscheduler to make a recording from a DVB card. All it would have to do is to call the appropriate webpage i.e.
http://localhost:8080/servlet....art(%Y)
it passes the data for recording onto WS like this when it is running from your epg.
Si if you can persuade gbpvr to call for this webpage on a recording that should do it.

Since nobody came up with a solution to my problem, here's a more in-depth-analysis of the problem, maybe that helps.
Premisses:
1. My GB-PVR uses the hardware decoder of the X-card
2. Auto insert is switched off

When I insert a dvd, I wait until the dvd player (hardware) stops whirring and I click on DVD in the GB-PVR menu, the menu turns black (normally the movie would be there) and gb-pvr freezes and I have to close it.

When I start X-player then (the X-Card's native player), check if the DVD is there and the dvd-rom player is checked (not playlist!, then I close the program and start GB_PVR again.
Now it works fine and I can play the DVD from the GB-PVR menu.
But only as long as I don't insert a new dvd!

I disabled autoplay 'cause I thought that was the problem.

Seems to me like a painstaking procedure to play a DVD, so:

Anyone a sound advice?

Here goes..

What is the usage of the gettheaterlistings application? I try to run it, feeding it my area code (319) like this:

gettheaterlistings 319

And it tells me "Invalid area code".

Can anyone advise and tell me what I'm doing wrong, and what I need to do to make it work?

Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see the topic already started about this. I get the same error message using my zip code instead of my area code... Still looking for suggestions!

EDIT 2: I solved my own problem... Apparently there are no theater listings for my area! Is there anything I can do about this?

Can GBPVR automatically wake the computer from hibernate for updating the EPG? I can schedule something to wake the computer every day at the right time, but I was hoping the software would do this by itself so if I change the time of the update I won't have to go change the wake-up task.

Also, does FF and REW work in the live TV? I can pause it, and I can see the remote buttons are mapped to CTRL-F/R for FF/REW, but neither the remote nor the key-strokes seem to have any effect.

Thanks!

Does gb-pvr support the onboard scart header (j2 port) of the xcard. I imagine it does not looking at previous topics on the forum but they are old.
If not any chance of support (should probably go in the wishlist, then)

Kind Regards

is there any hope of getting an old pinnacle pctv pci working
with this ?

if not, do any ATI TV cards work ?

tnx,

I was wondeing why the number press and skip works in seconds, why not minutes? ie at the moment you can type a number up to 999 and press forward or backward skip and it will skip that number of seconds. I assume it is for ad skipping? Why not make this minutes so it becomes a useful way of navigating to a particular point in a file? It will still be useful for ad skipping, at least here in Australia it would as you cannot prdict to any more accurate than a minute how long an ad break will last (the stations seem to have adopted a strategy of randomising the lengths of ad breaks, presumably to frustrate ad skippers).

Pretty simple.

After a reboot my picture comes out as black and white from the SVideo channel on the PVR350.

Removing/Changing/Adding the device back into GBPVR does not change it from black and white.

Run WinTV2000 and it sees the picture in colour on SVideo1, from here on in GBPVR works in colour.

All I can imagine is that WinTV2000 (The Hauppauge software) is setting up the card differently.

Sub I'm happy to do more testing if you want.

pps. Forget about blue screen of death crashing the machine, little fingers do a much better job....

Being a newbie trying to set up GB-PVR (v0.21.4) part by part... but when clicking on the Net Radio button in the main menu I get just an error message:

*****
Error: Key cannot be null
Parameter name: key
*****

Haven't been playing around with this part yet, so what has happened?
And more important: how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!
