Setup: PVR-350, Zap2it listing, USB-UIRT remote controling Sat Box

Issue: First attempted change does not always work using IR control.

Reproduce: 1) Run GB-PVR, select Guide and a channel
or 2) put gb-pvr to sleep with recording sch, channel change is not made.

Problem: Initial channel change is not made. Later changes with the arrow keys or go back to the guide changes work, just the 1st one fails.

I used the Zap2it feature for listings, but the guide is off by 1 hour. Its showing programs as on that dont start for 1 hour.

I tried changing the timezone -7 and -6 but it made no difference?

Any other way to offset it?

Firstly - many thanks to Sub for a great piece of software.

I love Net Radio but is there any chance of Real Audio and Windows Media support?
I listen to a lot of shoutcast stations (Soma FM especially) but theres a lot of good stuff on other formats - especially Real Player (its a piece of shit I know, but the BBC dont use anything else).

Secondly - would it be possible to support extra plugins when playing music? I use a plugin called audioscrobbler ( audioscrobbler ) for Winamp and WMP (among many others) which submits the mp3s you've played to an online database. I would never need to fire up winamp again if GBPVR supported this

Cheers!

Aloha everybody-
Lets pitch in and help Sub get a new card. You know you owe it to him. Oh well I'm not rich but I am donating what I can right now and if you are reading this so should you.

GB-PVR V0.17 is now available for download at http://www.gbpvr.com/Setup017i.exe

Highlights would be Zap2it support for the US/Canada users, XCard DVD Player and first cut at web scheduling (including source for those that want to extend it). XMLTV is too difficult to get going for most users, so I'm sure the easy to use Zap2it support will be appreciated.

From the change.log file:

2004-5-9 v0.17
- Added Zap2it data direct EPG source for USA/Canada users. No XMLTV required. This should be easier to setup for new users. It will attempt to retain 10 days of listings. The initial load can take long time depending on the number channels. Subsequent loads are quicker, as it'll only need the last day.
- Rearranged config app layout to squeeze in a few more settings.
- Now correctly handling with newline character at the end of program names in swedish XMLTV listings
- Now supporting extended characters in filenames when playing back via the MVP
- NetRadio and MP3s now also working with XCard. NetRadio can be slow to start, I'm not sure why yet - still investigating.
- Now allowing horizontal resizing of the OSD on the XCard. The is done in software, so only resize horizontally if you have to because it make the xcard GUI a little slower (you probably wouldn't notice).
- Added tray icon to let you know what the recording service is up to (in 64 characters or less).
- Added support for MCE remote control. This is enabled in the config app.
- First cut at web scheduling is included. If the web server is enabled, you can get to it by accessing http://localhost:7647/gbpvr/index.aspx . Big thumbs up to LivesNbox for the great job be did on this.
- Now informing you of conflicts when you schedule a recording, and allowing to resolve the conflict with a list of options.
- You can now select channel number using number keys when entering a manual recording.
- Logging filenames changed so that history of last three runs is kept.
- Change to the skin xml files. Added SkinHelper class as first steps of producing more uniform/consistent skin.xml settings. Also added the ability to use colour gradients in many parts of the skins. Colors can be by name (Green/Black/etc) or by #RRGGBB constant. Lots more options now available for new skins.
- Added XCard DVD player. During DVD playback "Blue/Ctrl-B" key will return to the DVD's main menu. "Home/Menu/Stop" key will stop DVD playback and return to the main GB-PVR menu. During DVD playback "Green/Ctrl-G" key toggles closed caption information. Pause/Play/Skip/FF/RW are as you'd expect.
- Several other small fixes

I know, I know...
PVR 350 doesn't support encrypted DVD out.

I would like non-encrypted DVD out. So I can watch my home made DVD's of my kids through GB-PVR.

Since this is the wishlist, I'm wishing.

If this does eventually make it into GBPVR, will it work on the MVP?

Hey everyone, I'm giving GB-PVR a shot because Sage is wreaking havok on my system and people rave about GB-PVR. Anyways, I know that you can enable the 350's tv out through the settings in the config program, but even when I select the 350 as my card, the settings box remains inaccesible, as in I can't click on it. I'm positive that this is something silly that I am missing, but does anyone know why the settings are not acesible to me? Thanks for reading.

GBPVR doesn't see my PVR 350 card for Hardware decoding. GBPVR only recognizes the card the way WinXP Pro does, as "Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II". I can select the 350 for hardware decoding in the configuration program, but when I start GBPVR it says that it can't find a PVR 350. How do I fix this?

Hello all,

I just got a PVR250 MCE, it is installed properly windows xp pro recognizes it as a Hauppauge WinTV 88x.
I am unable to find a match in GBPVR for this.  If any one else has this card and is using GBPVR I would appreciate a little help getting this going.  I am unable to watch live tv or record.

Thanks in advance

Greg

First off-
GREAT JOB SUB!
Thank for all the hard work.

Now my question...
I removed all the stations in the net radio folder and replaced them with shoutcast stations I wanted, but they don't show up in the interface. How do I go about fixing this?
