I've just uploaded an updated v0.15 release that primarily fixes the datetime problem UK users are currently experiencing. You can download it from http://www.gbpvr.com/Setup015e.exe

From the change log:

2003-4-3 v0.15e

- Had another go at fixing the datetime...sorry. Virtually impossible for me to test all possible combinations in my environment. You can also now enter an offset to add to show times as they are imported, hopefully it wont be needed but it there in case.
- Moving the mouse while watching a video will show buttons for rw/pause/ff/skip etc. These were the same buttons from earlier releases, but were hidden because they didn't make sense of MVP/PVR350/XCard users.
- Now gracefully handling FFDSHOW enabled but not installed.
- Now able to configure which buttons to hide on the main menu.
- Fixed some logic that may have been causing problems with the WinTVCap plugin.
- An config option for auto creating directories for recordings. When enabled, for example, all episodes of the simpsons will be recorded in a "Simpsons" directory off the recordings directory. (FYI, file names including the directory path are decided at the time recordings are scheduled, so later changing the recordings directory will not be reflected in recordings already scheduled. Its been like this since the beginning, and only one user has pointed it out. I will change this in future.)
- Added option to weather plugin to show temperature in celcius
- Fixed a bug with playback of music with Overlay renderer (VMR was already OK). If playing multiple tracks, skip start new song playing but also leave old song playing.

Is there any real hardware difference between the 250 mce and the plain 250?

Hi,

I am new to the GB-PVR software, having only aquired my Hauppauge MediaMPV a couple of days ago. I am already seriously impressed with the GB-PVR software, it providing so much more vision and function that the standard Hauppauge software. Great work.

My key driver for getting the MediaMVP was to be able to rip my DVD's to hard-disk and play on my TV. I have been using the excellent "DVD Decryptor" software to rip my DVD's to hard-disk - creating full images. Because the MPV does not allow the playing or navigation of the IFO/VOB files that make up the image of the DVD - I am having to RIP these VOB's to MPEGs using a DVD to VCD/SVCD software package - which takes a lot of time and generally degrades the images and sound.

My dream would be so navigate the image of the DVD's directly and play directly from the ripped VOB files. My basic understanding of the structure of a VOB file is that it is a MPEG2 file with a multiplexed AC3 encoded audio stream (plus some other stuff).

Given there are a number of software DVD players for Windows on the market, would it not be possible to do something similar with the GB-PVR software and allow native navigation and playing of a set of ripped DVD images. This would seem to be the perfect solution for a large DVD collector such as myself. I understand that the MediaMPV cannot natively decode an AC3 audio stream, but there must be a way to transform this AC3 stream to a MP3 stream on-the-fly, even if it does take up a few extra cycles on the PC!

Is this something that is possible, prehaps a challenge worth pursuing? Is this a valid "wish list"  and does anyone else feel the same way. Prehaps someone else has suggested it before!

cheers

Chris

I cannot get it to work, I have put in my area code (confirmed it has added it to config.xml) and when I try to access the weather page I get an error saying missing URI, could anyone please point me in the right direction ?

Any idea why I am getting this error message when switching to Live TV? (Sub: BTW, my previous problems with not getting version 14 to work seem to be fixed with version 15c).

Hi all,

Sorry another newbie question, before buying a pvr350 i tried to do a bit of research and found a couple of forums that suggested that you can't use this card with a digital stb.

is this true?

and if not, what are my options?

Hi,

How will be the best way to configure GB-Pvr if i have both the xcard and the Hauppauge PVR 350 installed on my computer?


thanks,

Yuval

I think this is one of the coolest and most useful pieces of software I've seen in a long time. I'd love to see more PVR cards supported.
I have the Adaptec DVD Media Center PCI card and the quality is just incredible. GB_PVR worked "right out of the box" with my MVP.
I couldn't believe the internet radio worked like a charm. Keep up the good work. I have a suggestion for donations, use paypal.

Hello Everyone.
I just found out about GB-PVR this morning and thought I would drop a line a express my appreciatiation towards Graeme Blackley for providing us with a great PVR product that certainly has the potential to be a leader in the field. I happened upon this website's link after "gplasky" submitted it to my website's link section. I read a little about GB-PVR and ended up downloading it. Now as we all know, with PVR software, this is usually where the real battle begins. I was pleasently surprised that the install went smoothly and within a 1/2 hour i was watching TV. when I setup GotTV it took more like A 1/2 month!

But anyways, I am certainly gong to be tinkering with GB-PVR more over the next couple weeks and look forward to watching this program and its' support community grow.

Thanks again,

I've been having some major problems with the schedule displaying shows at the wrong time with version .15. I had no problems with this in .12a or .13, and didn't even have problems with it in .14 until the "one-hour bug" that it appears everybody got at the same time.

All the shows in the episode guide are now appearing five hours earlier than they should. (ex. A program that airs at 8:00 pm shows at 3:00 pm on the schedule.)

Further adding to the confusion is that prime-time shows on the local channels (between hours of 8-11) appear on the episode guide twice: five hours early AND at their normal time, which causes for a very strange display when GBPVR sees two shows that appear to be airing at the same time.

I never had to strip the "-500" (I live in Eastern Time Zone, North America) from the xmltv output before version .15, but I went ahead and tried it anyway. This fixed the problem with the primetime shows appearing twice, however all the shows are STILL appearing five hours too early on the schedule.

sub, I would be more than happy to send you any relevant files you may need to nail down this problem. Just let me know what you need.
