Just built my box using the PVR-350 & GBPVR and it was working great. Very happy to hear that when you put XP into hibernation it will wake up to record a scheduled program.
Set a test up & was very chuffed to see that the box woke up and was active but when I came back to watch the program I found that the mpeg file was 0k.

After some more tests I have found that the PVR-350 stops working correctly after hibernation (no S-Video out) and will only correct itself after a full reboot. The weirdest part is that the wintv2000 software has the same problem BUT the audio still works (i.e. when watching Live TV.)

Has anyone else had this or a similar problem?

Hi there Sub,

Could you possibly add the following to your development or to-do list (low priority obviously). I manage all my music and playlists through Media Player. What I've found is the .m3u's created or saved in Winamp work fine. However if they are created or saved within Media Player (and possibly other editors) they don't work. If I start one on the PC GBPVR end I get "Error: Index was outside the bounds of the array". At the MVP end, it resets.

I believe this is due to the slight differences in file formats. The WinAmp version doesn't have blank lines, the Media Player one does. GB-PVR doesn't seem to like these blank lines. i.e. this will work:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,15-Mysterious times (original mix) (sash).mp3
..\..\..\Various Artists\Kiss House Nation\Kiss House Nation (CD2)\15-Mysterious times (original mix) (sash).mp3
#EXTINF:0,01-[Flip & Fill] Shooting Star.mp3
..\..\..\Various Artists\Hands To Heaven\Hands To Heaven (CD1)\01-[Flip & Fill] Shooting Star.mp3

Re-save the same playlist in Media Player and it won't work on GBPVR

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,15-Mysterious times (original mix) (sash).mp3
..\..\..\Various Artists\Kiss House Nation\Kiss House Nation (CD2)\15-Mysterious times (original mix) (sash).mp3

#EXTINF:0,01-[Flip & Fill] Shooting Star.mp3
..\..\..\Various Artists\Hands To Heaven\Hands To Heaven (CD1)\01-[Flip & Fill] Shooting Star.mp3
<Another blank line>

If any blank lines are removed in notepad, including the extra one at the end, GB-PVR plays it again.

If this won't be too hard to correct, it would be great to correct it on a future release to prevent the MVP resetting everytime one of these files is selected.

Thanks, Rob

Hi,

I'm having some problems with trying to do the xml thing automaticly. So what happens? I get my xml file in linux (i live in Belgium, and the only good program that i found that does this, only works in linux) automaticly every night at around 1am. It puts this in a directory that is "shared".

Then i made in my windows pc a directory mapping to that linux share. So that the file is available at "g:\tv.xml".

And then i pointed in config.exe from gbpvr to that file. And then i waited (actually slept ).
In the morning i found the error message that it couldnt find that file. (i thought that gbpvr always updates between 3-4am). When i did the importing manually with the same settings in config.exe, it worked completely fine though. And the file has as creation hour 1.01 am so that part worked good.

Does anybody know what the problem can be? I was thinking that the automicly update of gbpvr might not support drive mapping. Other then that i'm completely clueless. (and i cant do a lot of testing since i have to wait a day for every try).

I'm looking for a hopefully freeware MPEG compressor to compress files I am recording with GBPVR. It has to be command-line so I could schedule it. Any suggestions?

I have been having frequent problems with programs i have set up to record Failing. And once they have failed I can't delete them from my Recordings menu. I've tried rebooting and shutting down, and still once i try to delete these failed programs from my recordings menu they still remain in my recording list. I currently have my screensavers and energy saving turned off, so that it wouldn't interrupt recordings. I'm currently running a Hauppauge 350. Any help?

Since I have an XCard and a PVR 350, would it be possible to take the SVideo out of the XCard to the SVideo in of the PVR350 and then use the Svideo out of the PVR350 for output to the TV? I'm sure it's not possible under the current programming. I was just wondering if this is a possible via some code changes.

Hi there, before I start off on a wild goose chase, I thought I'd ask if anyone had had this problem before:

I have WinXP SP1, Duron 1800, 512MB RAM, Hauppage 350.

I have set up gb-pvr to view my cable channel, which it is capturing via composite signal through svideo cable.

I am watching the output through the dedicated output on the 350 card, on my TV.

After watching live tv for a short while (say 30 seconds), my PC locks up completely. (mouse doesn't even move).

It *could* be coincidence that I tried to use the Hauppauge remote at this time (twice it has crashed like this), this seemed to be what crashed it (I tried the change channel buttons).

I have to power down the PC & reboot. It wouldn't reboot cleanly until I rebooted a few times!

Its a pretty fresh PC build with XP recently installed. I *did* have WinDVD installed, but uninstalled WinDVD and then reinstalled the Hauppauge software/drivers as it suggests on their site, to avoid codec conficts.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Thanks for all the hard work. It keeps getting better, but I still have a few minor requests for a future version.

When I install a new version of GB-PVR, I use an XMLTV file with just the channels I want in the order I want. For some reason, GB-PVR numbers these channels starting at 2, so I have to go in and renumber them. Would it be possible to change this and start at 1?

I would like to see wrap around in a number of places. For example, when I hit channel up when I'm at the last channel, I would like to be taken to the first channel (and the other way around). Another example is the main menu where I would like to be able to jump directly from the last to the first item. Other examples are lists, like recordings.

Regards,

Jan

Hello
first of all many thanks for this wonderful program!

Is there a way to boot the WinXP PC automatically when there is a scheduled recording and after the recording to shut it down?

Can GBPVR turn on the computer if it is off to do a schedueled recording? I want to record a show that will be airing the week before fathers day at 8 am eastern time but will be sleeping. Thanks.
