Hi,
I am new to gbpvr. Downloaded it last night and got things to work although I did have some problems with zap2it and had some questions.

1. Are there gbpvr log files I should be looking at that might help me debug things and if so where are they located?

2. I had used zap2it with another PVR application but when trying that user/passwd with gbpvr it would take forever and eventually come back with some message about zap2it not being configured correctly. Since I couldnt find the logs I dont know any more information although I did do a test and only turned on one channel (my cable has probably 60 channels) and it would work then; turn on more channels and again not work. Any ideas?

I had previously run xmltv (again for a different application) and was able to load its guide xml into gbpvr fine but looks like it would be better to use the zap2it guide since does gbpvr automatically call up zap2it for updates whereas I couldnt see if it would for xmltv (would I need to batch that on my own?).

3. I also tried the web interface and that was cool. One thing I wish I had in these type of applications was the ability to search by genre (for me it would be movies) from the web interface (or the gui I suppose). TitanTV has a nice guide where you can only choose "movies" and then can fairly quickly scan thru them and program ones you want. Any idea if any plans to add this type of guide searching?


Just some questions from a new user. Just from my initial few hours gbpvr looks to be very nice. Just got to figure out the zap2it problems and try more things out.

PS. Does this forum have any capability for searching?

Hi,

I'm new and very interested in the software!! I am wondering though,... does GB-PVR support having multiple tuners (say 3 pvr-250s) installed in the PC to allow multiple recordings at the same time? Thanks for the help!

I'm really sorry, as I've probably missed a tutorial somewhere or am just dimb, but how do you setup the new website thing?

P.S. Stop laughing!

I'm have a strange problem that I cannot seem to remedy. All of my program listing are listed an hour earlier than they should be.

For example, on Channel 221 - Encore - First Blood is listed at starting at 1pm. However, on my cable channel it actually starts at 2pm.

I have changed my time-zone settings for my EPG source. I have updated my EPG (Zap2it) several times...still, no remedy.

My system time exactly matches my cable/local time.

Is this a Zap2it or GBPVR issue?

I've made silly errors in the past, so I'm probably doing it again.

Thanks to anyone with any ideas.

Hi, I have a problem once I ran the north american listing from http://labs.zappit.com with my registered account. All download data from zappit was successful, but once I ran from GB-PVR I saw nothing on the screen except time and channel name. I test them with XMLTV, tv_grab_na_dd and redirect to xml file and check with tv2html perl script, it got it should be. I do not know why GB-PVR could not load. I removed mdb file and restart them, it seems to detect the mdb missing and recreate them. But it turn out to be a problem the same as before for tv data listing could not display on GB tv list.

After watching LiveTV GB-PVR freezes and isn't coming back.
I can only kill the process and restart gb-pvr again.

I've got a Hauppauge PVR 350 and i'm running WinXP with SP2 installed.
I also installed the latest driver for the PVR 350 but with no result.

Does anyone got the same problem? How can I fix the problem?

Just had my shiny new PVR2000 delivered, and the new version of GB-PVR is missing - Is this the only version that supports it, as I can't get it to work in Live TV with any of the other models

Hi to all. A new and extremely impressed user but am having some issues with the address plugin. The first is how do you add new details and the second is when adjusting the settings in the config I get an error something like "unhandled exception has occurred in your application........object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Any ideas please?

The would be a great feature as it means then you could stream virtually any media to the MVP, plus it requires less resource then hauppages offering.

GB_PVR is great piece of software please keep it going

Hi in case anyone else runs into it I had two issues that I have resolved.

a) With the new MVP built-in service it wouldnt access other computers in my network (as per the change.log), however changing the service to run as a user with appropriate permissions allowed remove music etc to work

b) Perhaps related to my changes in a) I was unable to access the web service, the issue seemed to be something to do with the Windows XP Firewall service on by default with XP SP2, the solution was to add the application GBPVRRecordingService.exe to the firewall exceptions.

Hope this helps someone with similar issues
