Sub,
I've been having problems getting recordings to actually record. Just now I started a manual recording, a folder called manual recordings was created in my video library folder but there is not a file in the folder. Disk light flashes as if a recording was being made, but no file. Recordings menu says "Recording", but I can't find the file. Over the last week or so, I've had a number of scheduled recordings not record.
Got any ideas? Things to try? I've restarted the recording service a couple of times, still no change.
The menus doesn't seam to respont very quickly, so is it posible to make some shortscuts using the numbers on the remote? (so "1" would take you to the TV Guide, "4" would take you to the Recordings and so on).
-- Ignore this I missed this thread Topic: Menu Navigation, specifically on the MVP.
Also, if there's a long list of songs in the Music Library it takes a long time to scroll down the list, and if you just keep the down button pressed for a couple of seconds it keeps scrolling for awhile afterwards.
I don't know if this is a common problem or if it's just my computer that's slow (via 1ghz mini-itx), but I have had the problem in all the gbpvr versions I have tried (hmm.. I think I started with v11, now v15e on an new XP installation).
In the different menu's it can be handy that when you go down the menu and arrive at the last button on the bottom, when you move one more down the 'cursor' would go to the first button again. So in the Main menu when you go down from Exit you go to TV Guide.
First of all, thanks for a great piece of software.
Would it be possible to allow the user to zoom/crop the image from the capture device? My PVR350 gives me a white line on either side on my image that's very distracting (I don't think it's the card - I suspect it's a problem with the signal from my cable box). Both Got TV and ShowShifter allow me to crop the output so that these lines don't show.
I have an offer, let me know if you are interested. I am one of the people having video out crashes with your software as well as sagetv. I am using an IBM Netvista M41. I have access to the exact motherboard and processor I am using. I would be happy to ship it to you so you can replicate the problem (you stated before you have not seen this happen). I think sage is going to drop the ball on this and I have a lot of faith in your product. If interested I could send:
IBM Netvista M41 motherboard
intel pentium IIII 2g processor
at least 256megs memory
unfortunately i have to go to work sometimes so it would be nice to schedule shows over the web
If this is lowlowlow prority i can look into it (but its also lowlowlow at my side) to create a web site from the tvlistings xml file
I just need to know which parameters needs to get submited to gbpvr?
I downloaded the latest Weather plugin and unzipped it to the plugins folder and now the weather button is not displayed on the main screen. I set it in the configuration and still no button. Is there something I should doing?
I am one of the many people who have trouble with the OSD on the PVR 350 card. I have seen many threads on this subject and it all comes down to a driver problem. The main answer I see on the Forum is that Hauppauge is going to come out with a driver that resolves these problems.
Over the last couple of days I have been able to contact Hauppauge and they stated that they are completely unaware of any video out problems with any software being used with their card and have no plans to make any changes to video out in the next driver release or any other ones.
I am in no way complaining to the SUB (who is doing a unreal job on this project), just though that pvr 350 users should be aware of this. More important, people who are about purchase a pvr 350 card should know this. I hope I am way off but this is what Hauppauge stated to me in an e-mail today.
