1)Can I transfer my VHS tapes to my PC using GB-PVR?

If so which menu do I choose to accomplish this and what steps do I go through?


2)Do I need a internet connection to my pc while GB-PVR is running? I see myself either scheduling a channel/time to do the recording, do on the fly manual recording, or recording my VHS tapes to the pc.

Thanks

while i'm updating the EPG for the very first time I notice the amount of memory the application uses keeps increasing steadily is this somthing I should be worried about?

I still see the window "Processing Zap2it listings" and it's been running for about 35 mins so far but my LAN activity has been idle for the last 15 mins. I guess it's installing the list.

How long does it take usually?

EDIT: this is my 1st post so hello everybody

Hi

I installed the GBPVR v0.19.3 in which the comic plug-in was 1.0.1668.35689

I ran the GBPVR at the PC, and select any of the the comic channels would give error message :
"Error: The underlying connection was closed. An unexpected error occurred on a receive."

At the running, the internet connection was up via the ADSL modem. And the firewall (ZoneAlarm) was set to off.

The other functions that playing back media contents in the PC were OK.

Appreciate any insight and expert comments.

Thanks

Just upgraded to latest 2.05 version and noticed that the Web service still isn't working for me. Was it supposed to be fixed in this version? I also tried downloading the web files I found from a previous post and that failed as well.

I have a couple of questions on the X-Card...

I currently have the X-Card and a PVR-350. If I use the X-Card to output to tele on all occasions, do I need the PVR-350 or would I be just as well off with a Compro VideoMate (simply for video+sound in)?! £100 versus £17... tempting!!

Also, when looking at the TV guide using the X-Card, the txt jitters almost unreadably, and no amount of fiddling with anything seems to remedy this. Does anyone else get this? The info box is only half there aswell, although that might require fiddling on the settings for X-Card, but it's far too late and far too far away for me to go all the way downstairs to try that now...

I was wondering if anyone has been able to make these two cards work together in GB_PVR? I think that I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work and I have failed.

If I put the eHome in PCI slot 1 then it works fine but the PVR-250 won't (in PCI Slot 2 or 3). Now if I put the PVR-250 in a higher PCI slot then the eHome then the ehome won't work and the PVR-250 will?

I would say that I have a driver issue if it wasn't for the fact that I can get the cards to work in GotAllMedia(GOTTV).
So I believe that it might be a bug in GB_PVR?

If someone could help me out I would appreciate it  I am almost at the point were I feel i'm suck with buying another Hauppauge to get this to work. But has anyone gotten 2 of those to work together?

Thanks all
Mike

Asus P4R800-VM (mini-ATX)

PVR-250 (-16) PCI slot 3

Now that we've got support for multiple languages, if anyone is willing to do translations to other languages - I'm happy to host them on the site so they're available for other users.

Its pretty straight forward, take a look at the language.xml.ignore file in the GB-PVR directory. Rename it language.xml and add your translations to the file and you should be away.

Has anyone tried out both Meedio and GB-PVR? Is there any comparison? I've got a Media Server that I am outfitting with a Hauppage PVR250 next week and I'd like to try out GB-PVR.

However, looking at the specs it seems this app does more than Showshifter and others. Meedio is nice, but it still requires far too much tweaking and text file configurations to warrant spending $60 USD on it.

Also, is it possible to integrate other media players into GB? I'd be interested in integrating Winamp as my current Media Server has a nice array of visualisations.

One last question, does anyone use RedRat3 with the Sky Digibox?

Thanks All,

Geoffrey

I doubt if this is possible but I thought I'd stick it in, it's worth a mention...

Being able to do any of the following (presuming you have an X-Card and a capture device for the first two):

1) Be able to output TV from capture device (i.e. PVR-350) AND then watch a DVD but the output simply switches to X-Card when doing so.

This would be handy because the picture from my PVR-350 is better than that of my X-Card when outputting, and the delay from STB to TV is about 6-7 seconds, as opposed to 4 from the PVR-350. Would this be possible by having the option for both in config, and when you click on DVD it changes the setting and restarts the recording service. Obviously it would take a few seconds to restart when clicking on DVD but no one's gonna care about that! Then when going back to the menu restart the service again resetting back to the TV Card output.

2) Being able to output from both (really probably impossible) the X-Card and the TV Card and thus being able to use the picture from one and the sound from the other! This would require some kind of syncing of the two so the quickest only starts outputting when the slowest catches up. But this really is probably impossible because you'd need to drive two cards at once with the same input. Any way to use sound on one and pic on the other would be good. But just probably impossible!

3) Being able to clear the EPG programme list in config of any deselcted channels.

4) Being able to change the channel name in the EPG list?

Thanks again Sub for some awesome software
