Hi!

Is there a way to configure the layout of icons on the screen?

If I enable a large number of plugins the icons all scroll down the left hand side and tuern into a bit of a mess ... the obvious answer is to not enable quite so many plugins/icons, but then that defeats the purpose of having them?!

Thoughts ...

Hi all, I'm doing a new install of GB-Pvr, and i've run into a few small problems.

1. Running into some problems with XMLTV. I 've gotten it to install correctly. However, after i run the program and go to TV Listings it lists the correct channels but no listings appear. When i run the auto update for XMLTV I see the following error appear when it is loading the listings: page format looks ok but no programs found, (no available data yet? )

2. I have installed the plugin for weather, but when i click the weather button i get the following error: Error: Input stream was not in a correct format. If you need the zipcode drop me a line and i can give it out.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm running windows 2000 sp45 using a Hauppauge 350.

I was just wondering if/how one would control a digital cable box. I have cox cable and live in Texas. Any help would be great.

Hi All,

I've tried to setup the direct.ini file for a new card as
described on other posts.

When I look at a graphEdit file that will record TV to
a file, I see pin names that do not appear in other
direct.ini files. For example, from the standard files
there are entries like:

PIN_CAPTURE_I2S_OUT=I2S
PIN_CAPTURE_656_OUT=656
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=Input

and:

PIN_CAPTURE_CAPTURE_OUT=Capture
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=Input

On another post, I saw something like:
PIN_CAPTURE_CAPTURE_OUT=Something1/Something2

Scanning the files I've seen, leads me to try the following:

BLACKBIRD=0
CONEXANT=0
FILTER_CROSSBAR=NVIDIA MCE TV Crossbar
FILTER_CAPTURE=NVIDIA MCE TV
FILTER_TV_TUNER=NVIDIA MCE TV Tuner
FILTER_TV_AUDIO=NVIDIA MCE TV Audio
FILTER_ENCODER=NVIDIA MCE TV Encoder
...
...
...
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_AUDIO_IN=Input4
PIN_CAPTURE_CAPTURE_OUT=Output0/Output1
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=in

In graphEdit, I don't get the same names that the other
cards seems to have for these last three entries. I have
tried things like:

PIN_CAPTURE_INPUT4_IN=Input4
PIN_CAPTURE_OUPUT0_OUT=Output0
PIN_CAPTURE_OUPUT1_OUT=Output1
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=in

I've been reloading the file/stopping the service between
file edits.

Does anyone know if I am able to get my card going? Are
names fixed?

Any help greatly appreciated.

cheers!

This was a major issue for me using Myth... the inability to adjust overscan/underscan easily. So far, I think SageTV does the best job doing this in terms of ease. I'm pretty sure there are registry settings for the Hauppauge cards regarding Overscan/Underscan, but can a plugin be developed to allow one to make these adjustments in a more generic way so that it will work for any card?

Thanks,
Brian

Ok, I keep seeing things like "LiveTV on the MVP." What the heck are you guys talking about, what is the MVP? Thanks!!!!

I'm going to take some time to get comfortable with the Interface before I jump in and help out (I love Gb-PVR so far by the way, great work to everyone!.
Out of curiosity, what about a setup plugin that will allow one to configure many of the features of Gb-PVR as well as it's plugins? Not sure if I'm the one to tackle this (yet), but I wanted to post this as a suggestion...

Sub (or anyone else),
You see any issues with doing something like this? Depending on the settings being changed, you'd probably have to restart the recording service right? If that's the case, then this plugin would have to check if anything is currently being recorded or is about to be recorded within the next say.. 30 seconds or something before continuing... just thoughts, any input?

Thanks,
Brian

I have been looking at the following freeview cards:

Nebula DigiTV
and
WinTV Nova-T

I understand that although these cards capture a digital MPEG2 signal and can record it to disk, GB-PVR does not support them.  What is required to allow GB-PVR to cope with them?

Hi people,

I'm really interested in this soft, I 'm currently using MMC and would like to know if I can use my ATI remote wonder with GBPVR.

If so, how can I do it?

thanks for your responses

Hey Sub,

I see www.videohelp.com/ have GB-PVR listed in the tools section now - that should bring in a few more visitors!

Colin.
