Ok, so I'm all pumped to start using GB-PVR (first time install) with my MediaMVP but I can't get the new software running on the MVP. Each Time I reboot the MVP the old software loads up.

what am I not doing?

Thanks!

Well, I have received my USB-UIRT (which works perfectly), so have been able to try gb-pvr out a bit more fully. I'm having two major problems, which I don't think are connected:

Corrupted program files:
In all the programs I set up to record over the last day or so, the program playback crashes after three or four minutes - whether it is played back via mvp (hauppauge or gb-pvr interfaces) or bsplayer.  The file size shows that the entire program is recorded, and it is sometimes possible to skip over the problem-causing section in Womble Mpeg. It is possible that this could be because my gb-pvr box is also my mail server, and the mail is checked every five minutes - some combination of the mail request/spam-pal/anti-virus combo required for this could be at fault.  I have turned them all off for now to see if that will help, but it isn't reallly a long-term solution.

BSOD:
Strangely enough, I suspect that the gb-pvr isn't too keen on "The Bill" - three out of the four occasions I have tried to record it, the entire win2000 computer has crashed with a BSOD after recording only around 3Mb of the show.  This happened with a quick record of the 7.30 and 8pm episodes on UKTV as well as twice with an attempted season pass of the 3.30/4am episodes.  Strangely enough, an attempt at the 11.30am/12pm episodes recorded OK, but were of course unwatchable after the first couple of minutes due to the previous error.

Any ideas? the machine I am running this on is only an old shuttle computer, with a 1MHz Celeron/256M of RAM, so I suppose I could look at replacing this with a newer machine, but I wouldn't have thought the recordings should have been so fragile.

I will do a few more tests, and will see if I get the same results with recordings scheduled via WinTV etc

cheers,

I'm currently using a Gigabyte GA-7DXC Motherboard (AMD-761/ VIA 686B chipset) and I can't dispaly video with the hardware decoder at all with GB-PVR as it locks immediately.

I also have a Soyo Dragon Plus (VIA KT266A Chipset). Would it be worth swapping the Soyo baord into the machine or am I still likely to have the same problem?

The system is running well otherwise, so I hate to swap the motherboard if it is not likely to help.

Hi,

I posted this already over at shspvr, but maybe some of you here are also interested in this...

This question has been raised before, but since I could not find an answer, I decided to give it a try: can the MediaMVP output YPbPr?

I connected three RCA connectors to a SCART connector and plugged them in the YPbPr inputs of my TV. I connected SCART pin 9 (green ground) and 11 (green) to Y, pin 5 (blue ground) and 7 (blue) to Pb and pin 13 (red ground) and 15 (red) to Pr. I enabled composite output (s-video's chrominance would interfere with pin 15) and... it worked!

So, the MediaMVP outputs YPbPr on the GBR (in this order) pins of its SCART connector when in composite video mode.

I did find that the resulting picture is a little too red. Alas, my TV doesn't allow me sufficient control to fix this. I'm thinking about putting two variable resistors in the Pb and Pr signal path to adjust this. If anyone has any hints on which values would be appropriate to give me a reasonable range to play with, please let me know.

I hope this information is of use to some of you.

Regards,

Jan

I don't remember who put this together, but it works really well. Going through the Plugin I found a bug but some people may not think of it as a bug but a feature. When you zoom in on the picture and you scroll around the image then zoom out the image does not go back to center. I did not see in the text file if there is a button to reset this.

What would be cool to add is a slide show.

Hi All,
I have a strange problem with channel settings: I have created a Capture Source (PWR 350) and I have added some channels. When I go to the Live Tv I can see first nine channels (that are differents), but from ten channel to twenth channel (for example) I can see ONLY THE SAME CHANNEL....

I am in Italy (Control panel>Regional Settings on Italy).

Can something help me??? I have tried freqcopy, too...

Thanks a lot!!

CodeMonkey the weather plugin works great I love that I could check on multiple locations without going to the weather channel and wait for them to put it on the screen.

but I was wondering is it possible to add to the "Current" and "forcast" sections the "Chance of Preciptation"

Thanks in advance;
Raymond

Are there more controls for the DVD like going to the Title menu?

For the CNN feed, whatever the topic, when I select it I get a 'double click' message in the lower pane. For example if the topic (in the upper right window) is 'Bin Laden is a poo poo head'. If I select that topic, the text that appears in the lower box is 'Double click for information on 'Bin Laden is a poo poo head'' instead of the story.

Maybe CNN doesnt like news feed leaches like this plugin

On one PC, previously running v0.19 was OK but now the v0.205 gave these error mesdsage:
