First of all, v17 looks much better. In particular the colors for the EPG are nice. And now with the jukeobx it is a very versatile program.
However, Yesterday I realised that the EPG is not up to date. As you may remember I use vtplus and a home-made script to extract the epg information from teletext. But, since v017 of gbpvr there is an interference between vtplus and the gbpvrrecordingservice.
When I start vtplus when the recordingservice is running, the process vtplus32 is created (see taskmanager), but no window appears. When I stop the process gbpvrrecordingservice, vtplus runs normally; my script is run and I get an updated EPG. Running gbpvr itself appears to have no influence.
Up and with v016 I've never had this problem! Any clue to what can be wrong?
BTW I like the recordingservice icon. Although I think it should be red when recording, green when idle.
Can anyone out there give me some advice on using GBPVR in the UK. I've just got a PVR350, and I'm downloading the EPG using GrabEPG. What I'm looking for is a way for GBPVR to automatically change the Sky channel on my standard UK Sky Digibox. So when a recording comes up on a Sky channel, GBPVR will change the sky box to the correct Sky channel, then start recording off the co-ax connection. This way I can select any program to record from the TV Listing, and GBPVR will record it, without having to remember to make sure that the sky box is set to the correct channel manually. This would mean that when selecting a channel to watch from the TV Guide, or when a recording is going to start, the correct channel on the PVR tuner must be selected (68 in my case) AND something then changes the Sky Digibox to say 107 for Sky One Mix.
I could use Sky's built in reminder/channel changer so GBPVR just records "Sky" on channel 68, and the Digibox ensures that the correct channel is changed, but that's two places to set up a recording and it's not very integrated. (I actually have a co-ax and composite connection into my PC so would really like to record SKY from the composite, and terrestrial TV from the co-ax).
I've read the info out there but still don't get it. I assume I need a IR Blaster to send IR signals out to the Digibox, any advise on which one (the cheaper the better, some look like their about £60-£70, seems a bit high), which will work with GBPVR. What is the ".exe" option about? Is that a viable alternative? Â
i've a problem with some video-sources. If i will record a vhs-video tape, i got a white line on the left bottom side. This behavior i've also in some 3d cahnnels like wdr or ARD.
If if view this channels in overlay mode - the white line isnt to see, but if i record this channels - if got this damm white line.
seems to be a windows-problem: when i watch a recording and afterwards want to delete it, the recording disappears from the menu, but not from my hd.
when i then try to delete it manualy it says, i cannot delete the file, because it is used by another program. even if i close gbpvr and stop the service i get this message.
I'm having some trouble with Live TV today. For some reason when I switch over to live tv it will not play tv programs. It will only play the buffers from the previous time I used the live tv function. To make things clearer, it is only playing the old Livetv-1-0, Livetv-1-1, and Livetv-1-2 files, instead of the current programs on tv. Up till today it seemed to work fine. I've tried rebooting as well as canceling the program out and restarting. I'm using a Hauppauge 350 in case that info is needed. Thanks.
It seems that whenever GBPVR boots, the volume of output on the X-Card is set high by default. (my output is always distorted on startup until I reduce it)
The positioning system for the X-Card works for the main menu but not for the overlay over live TV. as you increase the settings, the menu position does change, but not the text ( meaning that you only see half the text regarding buffering etc.. )
Hi There!
First of all i want to thank for this great piece of software. It definitely is the HTPC-System that works best on my configuration (VIA Epia M10000, WinTV PVR 350 and 160 GB HDD). After trying several demo versions of commercial stuff, i finally found GB-PVR which is working perfectly. Only problem so far is to set up the channel list (as i'm living in Germany).
But anyway, the software is great!!!!
Now my question / wish: Is there already a plugin that allows to record audio from the radio module of the PVR 350 or maybe from the Audio Input of the PCs soundcard?
Another feature i've been looking for is to configure the PVR 350 to playback audio over the PCs soundcard while using hardware MPEG decoding of the Hauppauge card.
Any ideas?

Is there a way to control the aspect ratio for TV playback? I have a widescreen TV and right now TV is streched to fill the screen whereas I would prefer to keep it in a 4:3 ratio. There seems to be options for this in the configuration but they are disabled.
I finally got video to work by installing nvDVD and editing the direct.ini file for my Roslyn board. MP3 Net Radio works fine, but I'm not getting any sound when using Live TV. This is true even when playing the mpeg through Media Player.
The log file shows:
09:46:02.046 VERBOSE Hauppauge WinTV 88x TvAudio
And lots of these:
09:46:03.343 VERBOSE SetFilterProperty - IKsPropertySet->QuerySupported property failed
09:46:03.343 VERBOSE SetFilterProperty - IKsPropertySet->QuerySupported property failed
