I've just bought a PVR 350 card and I've just got a few questions about using GBPVR with it.

1) Can you get the GUI output aswell as the mpeg 2 output through the TV-out of the 350 card with GBPVR?

2) How can you adjust the quality settings of "Quick Record"?

3) How can you change the order in which the channels come up in the TV listings window?

Thanks in advance to anyone helping!

Tweek (very new to PVR!

I think most of the best ideas have been suggested so far, and the incompatible or infeasable discounted, but not being a programmer i dont know whats possible... so if i throw a few wants in to the ring id like to hear what people think:

the easiest request is to have the 'video library' to display just like the 'recordings' screen - horizontal bars instead of tiles?
Can i adjust this easily?

My biggest want (and ive no doubt the most complex by far! is the TiVo like automated recording system that records things it thinks you might like. What are the main constraints preventing this?

I like to use Winamp and the 'Milkdrop' visualisation, is there a way of allowing similair style visualisations to be used through with the jukebox plugin? And could they be output through the PVR-350 TV-out?

Can the forums be made searchable? i know ive repeated questions others have asked and had answered!

XMLTV: error reading xml: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary:"" Key being added:""

Whats this error?

Sorry if I'm being a bit dim here, but how do I get GB-PVR MediaMVP Server to work?

I have WindowsXP + SP2, Microsoft Net 1.1, Hauppauge MediaMVP version 2.2.22229 (although, incidentally(?), MediaMVPStart.exe identifies itself as v.2.2.22170.0...hmmm) and GB-PVR version 0205. I have no analogue TV/Capture cards, only a HP Nova-t and a Nebula DigiTv (can't wait for DVB, sub!!

The Hauppauge software works as intended through my MediaMVP, and I can view and (thoroughly) enjoy GB-PVR on my PC.

If I understand correctly, the procedure for operating the GB-PVR MediaMVP Server is:
1. Verify that the HP server is connecting properly.
2. Run Hauppauge Media MVP/Hardware/stop.bat to suspend the server.
3. Run GB-PVR Media MVP Server.

The problem is that I am failing to stop the Hauppauge server. After (2), all I get on my tv is the Hauppauge boot screen with the message "failed to contact GUI Server", and (if I start the GB-PVR server) the message box "This process acts as a server.......etc" on the PC.

Windows Firewall has been configured to allow both HP Media MVP and GB-PVR as "exceptions". I have also tried with the firewall disabled, to no avail.

The silly thing is that I have successfully operated GB-PVR via the MediaMVP before upgrading WinXP using previous HP and GB-PVR versions. I'm being dumb - please help! TIA.

Dont know whats happened, but i've had live tv working fine on both tv and mvp, but now its suddenly stopped working on the mvp. if i go into live tv on the mvp i get the mini guide for a few seconds with the buffer indicator staying on 0% , and then it jumps back to the main menu, although a livetv-1.mpg buffer file is created. Equally oddly if i do this on the pc i can pause tv ok, but i cant find any livetv.mpg buffer file.

really confused!!

Hi,

I would like to change the popup text that you get when trying to watch live TV when something is recording.

At the moment it says no capture source is available, is it possible to change this ?(I would like to change it, to something wife friendly like 'You are currently recording a program, to watch this, go to pending recordings and select play'

Any help most appreciated.

Cheers

Mark

BTW would make a useful feature, that when something is recording, allow live TV to 'Jump' To the recordings.

I tried going to control panel and uninstalling my version of GBPVR and first norton tells me that I have to stop the MSI script and then I get a fatal error on unistallation, help!

Hi All

I have downladed and installed GB-PVR and i looks like it has a great interface. I am using a Hauppage WINTV PVR PCI card that I bought a couple of years ago. this is the one that predateds the PVR 250. The problem I am getting is that when I hit the Live TV button I get a 'failed to communicate with the gb-pvr recording service'. In selecting the capture card there dosent appear to be an option for the PVR only the PVR250/350. Is the PVR supported or does it just not work with it? The cards ok coz it works fine with the crappy TV2000 software. It also works with Virtuadub but not much else. Any help/insights would be most appreciated

Cheers

Tony

I'm having a problem in that if I have more than 7 recordings I can only see the first seven. Is there, as of yet, no provision for scrolling down to the rest?

fini

Can anyone tell me if the Pinnacle PCTV USB2 is supported and if it is what the setup is as I cant get it to work

Thanks
