Hey,

I just started using GB-PVR, and it works great. I am running Windows 2000, if it matters. I have a Hauppauge PVR-250, so I know that I can't FF/REW LiveTV with the .18 release, but I also can't play recordings that aren't finished recording yet. They play fine once the full recording time is finished. Is this part of the same thing with the FF/REW not being in the .18 version, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

"Your EPG source does not seem to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG source settings and try again..."

I keep getting this error over and over. I have no idea why. I have tried removing the EPG entry and I have even created an additional account with Zap2it. Nothing seems to work. When I attempt to update the EPG entry it starts to check for listings (Requesting Listing information from Zap2it.com.) I can see that data is being transferred. It then says (Processing Zap2it Listings.) It is right after this that I get this error: "Your EPG source does not seem to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG source settings and try again..." Well I have checked the settings and can not see anything that is set up wrong. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance!

I tried to setup GBPVR the last few days. It seems to be the perfect application to replace the old VCR.

First: Playing and tuning and recording etc. with the WinTV applications works fine.

Using GBPVR:
When I play a video file using the PVR-350 TV-out it runs 3(?) seconds and hangs. The overlay smootly dissappears but the video is stucked.
press Back/exit:
On the monitor the menu appears, the TV shows the stucked video.
The second time I try to play a video the TV screen goes black.

Tuning:
I can't get any channel right. Tried Manual add of a few channels, tried changing Channel Source manual. Imported several XML.
The WinTV app tuning works perfect, but uses the frequency (e.g. 175,25MHz) = source channel 5? Can I enter the freq in GBPVR somewhere?

Info:Updated videodirvers, hauppauge drivers and directX
Using GBPVR 0.18l
Playback PVR350, VMR9, tried SBE yes/no

Somebody a clue?

I seem to be having a problem getting live tv to work. When I choose to watch live tv I get "Failed to communicate with the GB-PVR Recording Service. This software is possibly not running". The service is running when I go into services in control panel. I have restarted the service many times. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed, I have eveything I need in my PATH. I also tried the installutil GBPVRRecordingService.exe but it pretty much said that the specified service already exists. I've also reinstalled just to make sure and rebooted. NO JOY!!! I must be overlooking something. Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks

Does GB-PVR support any generic WDM capture cards with software encoding, or does it just work with hardware encoders like the PVR250? I have an old Aver TV98 that I use with the BTWinCap drivers off sourceforge. Old card, but it works great with Snapstream and GotTV. Any support for this? plans? It would open up the application to a whole new group of users with older cards, ATI All in Wonder, etc...

Hi,

Thanks very much for your post. Can you tell me (and I'm sure others! how to set this up and what settings need to be done in order for it work.

Many Thanks
Darren

1st let me apologise for waht is probably a stupid question. I have installed GB-PVR and a few of the plugins and would liek to say that the software is great. However where I have fallen down is getting the Haupauge remote control to work. Could someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have tried it with the WinTV IR program both running and stopped.

Probably a page one error but it driving me nuts.

Another small bug. Recording status on the "Recording" page is not properly refreshed. E.g. if current time is 3:03 and I choose to manually record from 3:00 to 3:10, after I set up this recording, I have to go back to main menu then "Recording" page for the entry of the manual record item to change to recording.

For some reason, some settings wont save. The first one is I can't not empty the EPG data. Then I can't alter the default recording quality level. Even I modify recording quality per recording, it doesn't seems to count. My recording is more than 1.2G for a 30 minute show. Anyone has idea what quality is using.

sub, could you tell me where the settings is stored? I managed to remove all channel info from the mdb file to empty the EPG data. However, I can't find where is the setting for recording quality.

Hi,

As far as I can tell, you don't really need the Hauppauge server at all when using the MVP with GB-PVR. The Hauppauge server is only used to assign the MVP an IP address and to load dongle.bin into the MVP. You can achieve the same result with a generic BOOTP and TFTP server, like tftpd32 which is an easy to set up piece of freeware that can be downloaded from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/

There's no need to even install the Hauppauge software, as long as you have the dongle.bin file, and simply keep tftpd32 running (with its TFTP and DHCP servers enabled).

Sub, I did notice that when I power cycle my MVP I have to restart the GB-PVR MVP server. Not a big deal, but it would be nice if I could power cycle my MVP in the bedroom without having to go down to the living room...

Regards,

Jan
