Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone has thought about what it would take to pipe MAME through GB-PVR?

Thoughts anyone?

I ran the new installer and all seemed to go well, but right at the end, the GBPVR config.exe app crashed.  Here is the error dialog.  Darn, I can't post non URL images.

Ok, the installer was sitting at the final ' GBPVR has been successfully installed' screen, and a dialog titled 'Config.exe - Common language runtime debugging services' popped up with the text:

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.  

Process id = 0x61c  Thread id 0x69c

On the installer, I selected the 'modify' option.  I did not uninstall first.

Config.exe.log shows nothing special, but here it is:

What's with all the loadSchedule calls?  Was the guide still updating after 7 hours?

Hi all,
I wonder if it is possible to change the order of the TV channels?

Best regards,
Mikkel

Just had a look through a good months worth of posts, but couldn't see this mentioned, apologies if it's been done before.

When recording a scheduled programme, it's possible to begin watching it before the recording's finished. However, it only appears to only play back what was recorded up to the point when play back was started (sorry if that's not particularly clear). This means that once the end of the file is reached, you have to restart play back and fast-forward to the point where you left off.

Is this a technical limitation, or is it behaviour that could be changed in a future release?

Hi, this might be pie in the sky but....

I can set up TV Out on my nVidia card and run the TV at the same time as the monitor. The TV can be set to clone the monitor, or run as a separate display. However if I run as a separate display, all I ever get on the TV is the windows background. What would be oh so cool would be if I could get GBPVR to take over the TVOut full-screen so I could use the PC for PC stuff at the same time with the monitor.

Does that sound feasible?

Cheers,

Hi,

I've got GB-PVR (0.20) working on my PVR350 with TV-OUT. Live TV (inclusive of the XMLTV-part) works perfectly, but when I playback a recording the image freeses after the first 2 or 3 seconds. The only option is to totally stop GB-PVR and start WinTv. WinTV seems to &quot;reset&quot; the TV-OUT and then I can use GB-PVR again to watch Live TV.

GB-PVR is freesing the image with every recording in different quality-levels.

Can anybody please help, because I want to use GB-PVR as a PVR! It's such a great product!

Thanks,

The new release is now available at http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR0213.msi

From the change.log:

2004-9-7 v0.21
- You can now configure GB-PVR to run MVP servers as part of the background service. In short, you no longer need to logged in, or manually start the GBPVR MVP Servers to use the MVP. Network shares wont be accessible when running this way.
- Flashy new website for remote web scheduling of recording. A big thanks to ricecrazy for all the hard work he put in designing this.
- Added a new Tuning Assistant app for those with problems determining the channel numbers used by your broadcaster. This will be more closely integrated in the next release.
- Added Atlantic Daylight/Standard time as an option for the zap2it timezones.
- Added &lt;OSDTransparency&gt; setting to config.xml to allow use to change the transparency level of the OSD on video. Values 0 through 255 are acceptable.
- Can now play DVDs from .ISO files. To use this functionality you need to install Daemon tools installed. You can download this for free from http://www.daemon-tools.cc/
- Now able to specify a specific directory for livetv buffer files.
- Preloading tv listings in background when GB-PVR first starts. This can be much quicker when you first access the TV Guide.
- Added PluginHelper APIs to enable plugin developers to play DVDs.
- Added a couple of new command line options. -topmost to keep GB-PVR in the foreground even when it is not the active application, and -noframe to start GB-PVR with out a titlebar.
- Fixed a bug with PVR350 LiveTV that would cause a soft lockup after about an hour.
- Fixed a couple of bits of display text that wasn't using the language.xml file for translations.
- Volume controls now works when playing DVDs.
- Keys 0 thru 9 can now be used on main menu to take you instantly to any of the first 10 buttons.
- Fixed a reoccuring manual recordings bug, and also changed how they are listed in the recordings screen.
- Pushing unsolicited screen updates out to the MVP are now working correctly (previously you had to press a key). This improves lots of small things in the application on the MVP. Things like netradio song name now automatically refresh when the song changes etc.
- Created GBPVRWake for restarting PVR350 driver after system wakes from hibernation.
- Added .rm (RealMedia) to the list of video filename extensions. To use it still requires a compatible directshow codec to be installed.

Would it be possible to allow users to add their own file extensions (like .rm). I'm watching real media files in windows media player with Gabest RealMedia Splitter filter and it also works in GB-PVR but only if I rename the file to avi.

OK,

I just got the USBUIRt device. I installed it ok and it seems to work with GBPVR....well, what I mean is, I can see it trying to change channels, but my cable box flashes on the TV screen. I have a Motorolla box that is not part of options available in GBPVR. I selected &quot;Jerod&quot; as the box codes in my cable tv remote programming guide list several boxes all with the same codes - Jerod being one on the GBPVR list....

Any suggestions to making this work? I'm Oh-so-close!

Thanks!

I have a Hauppauge 350 and when I click on FM Radio it says 'Failed to communicate with the GBPVR recording service. This service is possibly not running...'. FM Radio works if I use the radio program hauppauge supplied and GBPVR can record TV programs so I presume the recording service IS running. Any idea what's causing this error??
