Hi all,
I'm searching for a plugin or GbPvr function that can turn off the Pc after a specified number of minutes or hours like some televisions (sleep function 30m, 60m 90m, 120m, ecc...)

There is a way? A plugin?

Thanks in advance,
Dady

When I attempt to view live TV, I recieve the following error:

Failed to communicate with the GB-PVR Recording Service. This software is possibly not running. After rebooting, try again.

I just installed gbprv v.20 today, and have no idea how to fix this issue.

Here in Atlanta, Georgia, there is a website that we can go to that has the current traffic conditions for the city, or the state. It displays a map JPG (might be a gif) that is updated regularly.

It would be AWESOME if there was a way to have a plugin where you could pre-set a URL and it would go to that URL and pull the image and display it. Would be a nice complement to the Weather report.

Background: Shuttle SN45G with an Athlon 2500+ (at 3200+), 512 MB RAM, Radeon 9600XT, Hauppauge PCTV-PVR250. I have .Net 1.1 installed. I also have all other patches for win 2K installed as per Windows Update.

When I try to start up GB-PVR I get a window that pops up and says the following:

"An unhandled exception has occured....." blah blah blah...
"The .Net Data OLE DB Provider(System.Data.OleDb) requires Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC) version 2.6 or later. Version 2.53.6200.0 was found currently installed."

The stack trace of the exception is:

I was able to hit continue to get past this... I did the configuration of my settings, then when I hit "OK" to continue, I got another error:

Any ideas what I should do to get around this?

Hi,

I'm using GB-PVR with the Hauppauge 250 card and have a bunch of channels coming through that I can't tune it in to.

I can find some using the tuning assistant if I set my country to US, and some if I set it to UK - so I can't figure out how to set all of them in the software.

The WinTV software can find them all, so I guess it's possible.

Is there any way to directly set the frequency for each channel in GB-PVR?

Finally after a month, I got my GBPVR working with PVR 350 ( reinstalled all my Drivers for PVR from groundup.) Live TV works just fine. And it plays the recorded MPEGs as well. But if they were recorded in a different format ( like extra long dvd format in Win2k ), GBPVR freezes after 5 sec playback. But when I press home, it can recover itself.

Now for some reason, I cannot play audio files ( mp3s and wavs ), the buttons ( Play, Play All ) are not even enabled. I looked at configs and couldn't find anything obvious. How do I make my GBPVR play the audio files ?

And I like the photo viewer but for some reason the aspect ratio is not good. So they look distorted. Is there any way we could stretch the photo to occupy the screen space.

Please let me know
thanks

Hi All

got a mediaMVP today, great bit of kit, i am now try to use gb-pvr but if i run it on my pc i can see all my divx encoded movies and play them through the gb-pvr window put on my mediamvp i cant see any off them.

please help

Thanks

I don't have the development experience to do this on my own but I think the possibility to Play MAME over GB-PVR would be Great. My plan is to make my GB-PVR PC my entertainment system. Even other Emulators would be great if we could run them over GB-PVR.

Any thoughts?

Hi All,

What do they all mean and what do they do? I have a PVR350 card if that makes the slightest bit of difference.

TIA
Darren

As stated, new to this and cannot see any album covers, have the covers scanned and saved as jpeg's in the mp3 folder, how does it pick these up to display them.

cheers
