I seemed to have stalled on the install process. After running setup and getting the epg stuff in, when I exit the configuration settings I get a popup saying "restarting GB-PVR Recording Service - Please wait"
Then another dialogue box pops up telling me an unhandled exception took place - Service GB-PVR recording Service was not found on computer '.'.
I then get an option to either contine (hangs there not doing anything) or Quit (and the install then doesn't seem to have taken)
Any ideas where I'm going wrong? I'm running XP Pro with administrator rights.
I have a pvr 250 and am thinking of getting a usb pvr2, does anyone have a similar setup?
I assume will I be able to record two programmes at the same time without to much of a problem is it just adding a second tuner to the set up in the configuration. How does gbpvr decide which tuner to use first?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe this Question has been answered, but I couldn't find it elsewhere:
I am using GB-PVR with a Hauppauge PVR350 for timeshifting/recording. The PC is attached to a 16:9 TV which is set to automatically rescale the picture. This only works when the black stripes are really black and don't show any movement.
Now, Recordings from GBPVR are way to bright compared to WinTV2000 so the rescaling does not work anymore. Is there a way to preset colour/brightness?
BTW, it does not matter how the recordings are replayed, either by GB-PVR itself or with an external application.
I have a little question, is it possible to change the time where the epgupdate takes place (3am-4am) or is there a way to do it through the commandline so i can shedule it in the windowssheduler. Â I'm asking this because I turn my pc off at night so it can't automatically update the epg during that fixed time.
Thx ad advance!
Greetzzz
PS: Â The software is getting better and better, keep up the good work!
Setup software recently to test. Do not have a compatible tuner card installed, want to evelaute software before comitting to purchase anything new. Have pretty much everything working that is functional without a card, but can not get DVD to play. Software recognizes, brings up menu, can do setup ops from menu but when I hit play it freezes up there. Plays fine in cyberlink power DVD. Any ideas? I have all the DVD playback options set to use Cyberlink apps.
Thanks to GBPVR, after trying out SageTV, WinTV and others, I settled down to this one because this one delivers with no fuss ( and free as of now ).
I have PVR 350, a good machine, connected to TV ( no monitor ). so far I am using remote from Hauppauge ( I will end buying Tira or USBUIRT ). Have the following questions, sub/everyone - please answer each of them ( thanks for the patience )
1. medium quality - nothing else : even if I set any other type, it always goes back.
2. how do I enter the channel directly : I can incr/decr channels, but if I type the numbers ( for ex: 472 channel on dish ), it doesn't respond to the number pad.
3. net radio - how to add more stations - there are some radio stations that are not listed here. Can I add them manuallly ?
4. How to schedule the tasks inside PVR ? Apart from Recording of programs, I want to schedule shutdown/music play and etc. Can I do it ? If not, can I do it via Girder ?
5. epg download - takes a long time. If it is cancelled in the middle, it should retain the stuff downloaded so far.
6. can we record live tv while playing back some other archive video ? Also, can I pause live tv while watching something else ?
7. Love the plugins, installed all of them. But then the main screen showed all of them in one column,exceeding the screen limit. Would be ideal if we can categorize them or show in multiple columns.
Is there any way to currently view the file date in Video Library? I am using my MVP to watch my videos from Sage and when I have more than two files with the same show name I can't tell them apart. I used to look at the file date at the bottom of the screen when a file was selected in the MVP software.
