Greetings everyone. I am a MythTV user and I recently have noticed that GB-PVR supports the M150 capture card. Since nothing in Linux seems to supports this card, I am very excited to try out this program. My question is, what is the minimum cpu needed for decent playback of recordings and LiveTV? I plan on using a PIII 800 with the M150. If this has been answered before I apologize. Looking forward to using GB-PVR. Thanks!!!

Hi Sub and all,

I have a very specific setup that I would like to use, and want to know if it is feasible.

Let me give some background by saying that I am running a number of WinTV PVR 350s, one per machine using WinTV 2000  very happily.

What I want to do is run 4 WinTV PVR 350s in one machine.

I understand WinTV 2000  can't do this.

Each card will be tuned to a single channel, but may need interactively re-tuned every week or two.

I need to simultaneously record from all cards to DVD compliant MPEG-2 files for about two hours, producing four files of about 4 gigabyte per file.

Additionally I need to have some editing application (possibly VideoReDo) to be able to random access the video file as it is being recorded to create a cut section file for immediate use.

Is this possible with GB-PVR ?

Thanks for any responses.

Cheers,

Luckies.

I currently have a Hauppauge Nexus-s (DVB) card and want
to get a PVR-350.
Are these two card compatible in my machine at the same
time, or will I have to take one out.

I've had a WinTV go card in the past which didn't like my
Nexus-S card in the system at the same time, Will the same apply with the PVR-350?

I used GB-PVR on my windows 2003 server with a blackbird card installed primarily for recording shows. Everything runs extremely smooth! Here's one improvement that I'd like to see. Basically I need a more flexible interface of choosing which show to record. After opening the .mdb file, I think programatically it is very easy to do, just some sql selects. For example, user can specify he wants to record all "Fraiser" on Fox this week.

I'm new to GBPVR, however I want to contribute. I'm familiar with C#. Is it easy to do a plugin for this function?

Hi, I found a bug. Changing configuration (I removed some default buttons) while recording will reset the current recording.

This is a really dumb question but... in the screenshots page on this site, in the Music Library it shows that you can get the album cover images to appear on each of the folders. How do you get them to show up like that?

After a show is finished recording, my hardrive light continues to flash like it is still recording (I'm talking even hours later). Is this normal? If I stop all of GBPVR, this behavior stops but as soon as a new recording starts and is finished, the behavior is back. Hopefully this isn't wearing out my harddrive.
Any suggestions?

I'm a little confused now, Today my Xcard arrived and I expected that GB-PVR was a similar kind of software as Joveplayer who gives a full frontend thru the Xcard tv-out.
I installed the card, configure GB-PVR and then...nothing. Even my dvd's won't play. The original Xcard software and Joveplayer runs fine so where am I wrong?

The Xcard is connected with the RGB to Scart cable directly to the tv.

Maybe I'm missing the really obvious but I am not able to watch TV whilst I'm recording is this just me or is it not implemented.

Oh nearly forgot but im running XP SP1 and a pvr 250 using vmr 9

Hello

when accessing the TV Guide I get first always this error.
I use version .18I. With the old version I never had this error.
After selecting TV Guide a second time, then it works like it should.

What could be the reason?

Here some part of the log file:
