I'm not implementing it just yet, but how do you think "favorites" should work if they were added to GB-PVR?

Are you still looking for someone to do a virtual keyboard?

I'd be happy to pick it up.

Hi,
I have just got hold GB-PVR (which looks great by the way).

I am having a couple of problems getting it going!

1) I have a Hauppauge PVR250, yet I can't select the 350 driver in the config - When I run GBPVR I tells me there is no available 350 board.

2) If I click on Live TV I get the message 'Failed to communicate with the GB-PVR recording service, this software is possibly not running'.... etc.

Any ideas?!?

I have done the usual restart, update drivers etc. but with no joy.

I got really excited when I saw this program as I have been trying to get ShowShifter to work (with no luck, as it does not fully support the PVR250).

Some help would be great

Cheers guys/gals

I set the file name, hit OK all the way until the config app terminates. But when I go back into the config app to update the EPG, that field is blank and the update button gives me an error telling me it is blank.

I can, however, set the file and do an update EPG immediately and it works. The file name apparently isn't being saved

Hey,

Anyone who knows me from snapstream will know closed captions are a big bee in my bonnet. I'm toying with switching to gbpvr but wanted to find out before I start if it currently supports closed captioning ?

To be specific; I record using Hauppauge PVR250's DVD Stream with 'insertCCinDVD' set. This embeds the closed caption data as a GOP user packet in the mpeg2 file. The nice thing is - intervideo + cyberlinks decoders will actually decode this data into a line21 caption display so if you can hook the line21 output pin from the mpeg2 decoder up to the video mixer filters - you can have closed captions even from the recording video. No worrying about subtitle files, vsfilter or anything like it.

SS are being anal and wont let me hook up that line21 pin - There are some issues about which line21 decoder you select (one handles odd/even fields, the other doesn't and shows garbage) but if you could allow a setting to specify the guid to connect - (registry hack or config app extension.. don't mind) - you'd make me a happy ... er. something.

In theory the MVP can also support them - hauppauge confirmed the hardware can show closed caption data on a tv but they have not written the firmware/player to handle the data and have no plan to do so. A shame but I'll take what I can get now and stick to captions on the main htpc.

So sub; can you do this already? would you be willing to accomodate the request? If you need any more info let me know. be glad to help or supply sample files to test with as you like.

I was starting to do a email reader plugin when I had a philisophical crisis. Should we even do plugins like this? Wouldn't it be better to just minimize gbpvr for a few minutes and use a full featured app like outlook? The same could be said for cd/dvd rippers and everything else that already has nice apps available for windows.

Thoughts?

Great job with your program! I've just ordered a Hauppauge 250 to give the tv tuning a shot.

I want to ask you, what language did you develop the TV tuner portion of your program in?

Can you give me a good starting point for me to look at if I were to try to develop a similar pause/play app using these hardware mpeg encoding tv tuners? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

There is currently no way to turn the radio off short of playing another source such as tv or mp3, or exiting gbpvr.

I am trying to set up GBPVR. I would like to use the TV out portion of my Hauppauge 350 like it is designed and that BTV and Sage do not allow you to do.

I am hung up on finding the xml file for the EPG source for the US.

I tried to find a souce on http://www.xmltv.org. I tried tv guide. However I did not find the .xml file to link to the browser page.

I am sure it is quite simple but I am not getting it.

Thanks

hi,

it's possible to get an option for changing installation drive/path by install-shield? (nice to have)

thanx,
