I would really love to try this program, but have now spent several nights trying to get this working with no luck yet.

Latest setup is PVR 350, and although the little GB systray icon does now go green (stuck on red for ages before), when you click Live TV it trys but says Error Failure Playback File

If you try to watch via TV Guide (which is downloaded fine), then it locks up totally.

Tried this on 3 seperate computers and 3 different TV cards in last two weeks, someone please just tell me they have it working :-))

Does anyone know or can someone tell me if the GBPVEr supports the AverMedia UltraTV 550 PCI Card? I wanted to buy either that card or the Hauppauge PVR350 but the AverMedia UltraTV 550 is cheaper.

I have a problem with my EHome wonder loosing audio. It seems when I exit GBPVR my crossbar properties end up like this:


I can fix the audio by making the poperties as below but each time I exit GBPVR it returns.


Thanks for your help. Love this software!!!

The title says it all.  Is there any way to hide the mouse cursor during playback of DVDs?

When using the MVP and GBPVR, I cannot delete any recorded programs. When I select the recorded program on the MVP, and then select DELETE, nothing happens. I've checked on the PC hosting GBPVR, and the recorded shows still remain in the directory....although they no longer show up in the MVP as a recorded and available program. It's a bit odd... I just have to delete them on both the MVP, and on the host PC.

Sorry..forgot to mention that this is version 0.19.3

can someone please tell me how to get closed captions working. does it work only with intervideo decoder and VMR9? i have the ATI dvd decoder and i tried with VMR9 and it doesn't seem to work. i have ati 9600pro and directx 9.0b installed. thanks.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but none of the others seemed more appropriate.

I've currently got an oldish PC I want to put to some use. I also have an old graphics card with TV out (Nvidia GF3).

So I'm missing software, that's where GB-PVR comes into play, obviously. And also need a tv card.

My question is, do I need the PVR350 for tv-out support, or can I use my graphics card's tv-out and get the cheaper PVR250? I assume I can do that manually (activating tv-out via graphics setup, then full-screening the application), but the idea is to have the box setup with autologin etc. and getting output on the TV without any keyboard interaction at all.

HI,

I tested this software some time back and my PVR250 worked (using the pvr350 option in config).

HOwever, I downloaded the most recent version and now it refuses to let me use my PVR250.

Hope you can clarify if the software does support this card.

Example:

Wednesday nights, Simpsons @ 7:30, Malcolm in the Middle @ 8:00. If I tell GB-PVR to record The Simpsons, I then can't get it to record Malcolm; even though it lets me go through the motions, the space for Malcolm doesn't turn red, and if I go into the recordings section, Malcolm is not scheduled.

This only occurs if I select "Record Season (all episodes in this timeslot, this channel)".

If I select "Record Season (all episodes on this channel)" then it does work.

Also, I have a question: you know how you can specify pre and post-padding for a recording? What if I want to record say from 7:30 to 8:00 on TV2 and then from 8:00 to 8:30 on TV3? What will happen with the second recording? Will it remove the post-padding from the first recording and the pre-padding from the second (i.e. so the switch occurs exactly on the hour)? Or will it Record on TV2 until 8:02 (assuming I gave it 2 minutes of post-padding) and then switch to TV3?

Cheers!

This post will give a brief heads up for those wanting to develop there own plugins.

Theres not really any formal API documentation, but its worth looking at the samples on http://www.gbpvr.com/plugins.html (many of which include source code) and reading http://gbpvr.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=4;t=1

The easiest way to get started is probably to download one of the plugins (comics?) and just start looking at how it works. If you're into VB.NET you may want to look at the original weather plugin source code.

I'm happy to answer any specific questions you may have.
