I got my WinTV-PVR-350 and MediaMVP a couple weeks ago and I am really enjoying using GB-PVR with them.

Wishlist: I am in the U.S. and am using Zap2it for the data. If I go to Zap2it's website and look up listings, each "repeat" is labeled as such. This information does not show up in GB-PVR. I don't know what data is actually available from Zap2it, but if the "repeat" status of a show is available, I would really like for that to be displayed in the TV listings. Secondly, if that information is available, it would be very helpful if GB-PVR could skip recording a repeat when you set it up using the "Record Season" option.

Thanks

The DVD player (menu button)in GB-PVR freezes when I click it, either with the remote or with the mouse, the screen goes black and I have to close GB-PVR and start it again.
But I could play any dvd or cd directly from X-Player.

After some searching and a wake for 1 night the cause came popping up.
I also installed a virtual CDPlayer (in my case Deamon) and when I disabled that one (I want to use it every now and then)in the hardware manager GB-PVR played DVD's as before.
I don't know if it needs any attention in future releases, but still wanted to mention it.

Hi Guys,

Can anyone give me help ,on adding a pgn up/down function to the Jukebox Plugin.So that selecting music files is quicker.
I downloaded Sharp Devel tool and had a look at the Jukebox Plugin.Under the JukeboxTasks.cs file part of the code had pgn functions. Is this where I can add the above functions
and then re compile the jukeboxtask.cs file. I've only started reading C Programming stuff. See below for the section of the code.


case Keys.PageDown:
userTopIdx += MAX_ITEMS;
if (userTopIdx >= userTracks.Count - MAX_ITEMS)
{
userTopIdx = userTracks.Count - MAX_ITEMS;
userSelIdx = userTracks.Count - 1;
}
else
{
userSelIdx = userTopIdx;
}
break;
*/
/*
case Keys.PageUp:
userTopIdx -= MAX_ITEMS;
if (userTopIdx < 0)
{
userTopIdx = 0;
}
userSelIdx = userTopIdx;
break;

Is this the right section, (if you can make it out), or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Regards
Joe

I appologize if these questions have been asked before... I cannot see how I can search the forum and looked through about 10 pages of posts in the Support forum without seeing a similar problem...

I bought a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250 and installed it under Win XP Pro and to verify that I did have all the drivers installed properly I installed WinTV 2000 and was able to watch and pause live TV (using Overlay Mode). I closed WinTV 2000 and installed GB-PVR and ran the Config.exe file to set up the options according to the "GB-PVR Quick Start" link off the main page. When GB-PVR initially ran it popped up a window indicating that my system did not support VMR9, so I selected "Overlay Manager" and now when selecting Live TV I get a primarily a black screen with a few very thin horizontal white lines and no audio. I haven't had a chance to play with the configuration too much, but I thought someone may be able to point me in the right direction.

The computer is slightly old, it is a P3 800MHz (I think) running on an AOpen MX3S motherboard using the onboard audio and video, 128MB RAM, and the Hauppage WinTV-PVR-250 (with remote). My guess it that it is some sort of issues with the Intel 815E/815EG Integrated Video but I can't be sure...

Also, I could not seem to get the Hauppauge Remote to work with GB-PVR... It worked fine when I was using WinTV 2000, but in GB-PVR the only button that I could get to work was the maximize window button (The Hauppage IR/Remote drivers were installed). I was able to navigate the menus using the mouse though...

Thanx in advance for your help!!

Cheers,

Woody

I'm a newbie so my apologies if this is an obvious question;
Just wanted to check if the MVP server can actually "relay" to a usb-uirt?
The goal being to drive channel changes on an external cable tuner from the MVP itself (and feed a PVR250).
If so, any way of making the MVP react to more buttons from its IR (shortcuts to channel changes for instance)? Would that be possible through a plug-in?

Many thanks

btw: this is a very impressive piece of software - congratulations.

Sub, is there anyhting I can send you that will get GBPVR to work with Bell/Dish Net/Echostar satelite receivers? The template that Sage TV uses for Dish works perfectly for my receiver if that means anyhting to you. As it stands now I can't get GBPVR to change the channel at all even though it seems to learn the remote.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but, how about supporting the Nebula DigiTV card?

Although the current version (and planned future versions) Nebula app parallels most of GBPVR’s functions, I doubt they will add the very useful MVP connectivity.

Is it a possibility?

What is the limiting factor which effects the responsiveness of the remote control for the MVP ?

is it the power of the mvp itself, the network connection, or the actual system running the gbpvr software, the fact that the mvp is already playing music or video etc etc.

On my system the remote is usable but you do need to be patient as its about 1 - 2 secs per click of the remote

just going through the main menu its reasonably ok as you get used to it, but once you start using it on something like the jukebox to select tracks it becomes a nightmare, as you constantly end up clicking past the tracks you want to select or selecting the wrong one.

Is there anything I can do to improve responsiveness, as for me its the last area of gbpvr where there seems to be problems which would stop my wife from using it, and therefore being able to record programs or listen to music herself. At the moment I still get the oh its a computer thingy you'll need to do it  

ie the great nirvana for all these PVR systems is "can non-technical folk use it just like changing channel on the TV"

any suggestions gratefully received

I have a couple of times managed to erase recorded shows unintetionally. Therefore, somekind of confirmation box upon deleting shows would be nice...

How do you configure granuality of the log? Is there anyway to make the gbpvr.exe to log less information?
