Hi,

i have 2 questions I was wondering if anyone could help me with.

The 1'st one is, where does GBPVR store it's information about recordings and what is the format for this?

the second is related, can the recording shedule of GB-PVR be controlled by an external application. or is it possible to have an external application generate a file that GB-PVR uses for it's recording schedule ?

Any info. gratefully recieved.

Cheers

i have an HP Pavillion zd7000 w/ MCE and the tuner is a USB tuner made by emuzed, its their Bali USB tuner with an hp sticker on it. i'm almost 100% sure its not compatible with the generic GO7007SB.

so could gbpvr add this to the list of supported tuners

I've got a WinTV 350 that locks up when playing back recorded items. Trouble is, it doesn't always do it. I've got the latest drivers from Hauppauge, and for my video cards, and the latest DirectX drivers, and it still does it.

Also can't get my Hauppauge remote to work. Should I be running IR32.exe or not?

Also what other keyboard shortcuts are available apart from CTRL-Q, R and F. I seemed to discover that CTRL-P did something, but was unable to investigate furthur because my machine then locked up. (and couldn't even kill the process in task manager)

Is there also a One-Touch "Record now" button at all? Or something to stop recording something that is in progress?

Is it also possible to run this program at all without having to use EPG? because that means being hooked up to the internet .. what it you don't want to do this? Doesn't seem to be a way.

I'd love to donate some money to you Sub, but there are just too many niggles about this program at the moment, and I've spent half my weekend fiddling away with it and not getting very far!

After recording a game of soccer; the quality on my TV-out was pretty bad. Especially the quick pans are killing it. After manually de-interlacing the recording (with TMPGEnc) quality improves; but a TV-out should be able to play interlaced video? Isn't it?

Any suggestions on improving TV-out quality on interlaced video?

My specs:
- PVR250
- Pundit-R with integrated video and TV-Out ( Ati 9100 IGP / RS300 )
- Celeron 2.4

Hey All,

I have started writing a Power Management plugin (really an extension to the Shutdown Plugin).

**
Edit:
New version 0.2.1

This version (hopefully) lists the power management schemes and allows you to change to a different power scheme on your machine (provided you are allowed to do it - not sure what happens if you are not)
**

It is using the same layout as Comics/RSS. Enter key only works on the left side panel to choose which Mode/Scheme/Timer you want.

Currently the only Mode's which are enabled are Hibernation and Suspend. It is also doing the "nice" way in that it requests all applications to hibernate/suspend.

I'll try and get the Timer mode working, then the selectable power schemes.

You can get it at here

I have only run this as an administrator, but I assume it works fine as a user. If you choose a Power mode, it does give you a yes/no prompt.

Let me know of issues, weird things, etc.

Cheers,
Colin.

Hi all,
I know I ask a lot of propably stupid questions, but it is the only way I can learn about this program.

What is web scheduling?
Does it mean that I can schedule recordings from another computer/location? For instance if I am abroad, but would like to record a program in my native country, with my stationary computer.

How do I get started with web scheduling?
- any links, tips etc. is greatly appreciated

best regards,
Mikkel

Hi,

I have been having terrible problems trying to get either videos or live tv to play on my mvp

Everything else worked fine

I was using a 100mb usb connected ethernet card and crossover cable

I fiddled with all sorts of things changing delays and codecs etc

by the way does changing playback codec make any difference when playback is on the mvp ?

as a last resort I changed my ethernet connection to an old 10mb isa based 3com ethernet card

and much to my surprise it worked perfectly

according to performance manager mp3 play back takes about 12.5% network utilisation

and video / live tv seems to be about 85%

curiously these seem to equate pretty much with the loading seen on the usb connected card (but obviously 10 times higher as the card is 10 times slower)

yet the usb card simply could not apparently deliver the data quick enough

Sub is there anything in the logs that would confirm this ?

so if anyone else like me is having problems with there mvp then have a look at your network connections

once again Sub thanks for a fine piece of software

I've spent the weekend fooling around with Windows MCE and have realised it's overbloated and slow, GB-PVR seems to be exactly what I need

My main goals are having a method of pulling video from sky+ using composite into my pvr-250, watching said stuff and playing mp3's. I'm currently using an epia 800 which I had lying around, but is far too slow for meaningful use.

Seeing that I already have an ITX case I want to stay with the format as the size of the Morex Venus is perfect for our AV stand. I've got my choices down to 2 boards, The Insight P4-ITX and the EPIA MII-12000.

As both only have one pci slot which is obviously used by my pvr-250 I'm limited to their on board cards. From what I understand the P4 has 4xAGP with 32mb of shared RAM and the M-12000 has 4x with up to 64mb of shared RAM.

If I went with the P4 I'd be using an existing 2.4ghz celeron processor. Both boards would have 512MB of RAM.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

quick question regarding the OSD transparancy setting.
I set it to 255, and when I switch to live TV, the 1'st occurance of the OSD is non transparant and looks great. However when I use the mini guide, or any other OSD aspects, after that, it comes through transparant again.

Does the config.XML setting only refer to parts of the OSD ?

Cheers

Is there any way to directly set the audio bitrate when using the Plextor Convertx when capturing divx? It is currently using 224kbps and I would like to use something like 64kbps for very portable recordings.

Great job by the way! This is already a very nice package and a great alternative to the commercial offerings out there.
