I am trying to get GB-PVR working in my network topology and I'm having problems.
Could you post your topologies (sp) so I can tell if mine is supported.

I am able to stream MP3 from my MP3 server to the mvp by
enabling internet connection sharing on win2k pc 2. This allows the mvp to get a IP address and allows mp3s to be played from the xp machine.
I cannot get the mvp to recognise the GB-PVR server running on win2k pc 1. The ICS option gives me the mvp on 192.168.0.x and I have enabled IP routing on the win2k 2 pc allowing the mvp to access the wireless network (192.168.1.x).
It seems that I have to have all 3 machines on the same subnet to allow mvp and GB-pvr to work. Any Ideas ?
It would help if you guys could post your topologies and networks setups.
i've just found a little prob, i am running version .15c and i have an MVP. When i run the new_blue skin i cannot start the mvp server mode, took me ages to work out what it was, but the program will not run in this config,
2003-3-30 v0.15
- Added support for dynamic loading of plugins.
- Added simple weather plugin, including source code, as an example for how to write plugins.
- RGB and Component Video option now correctly working on XCard.
- Fixed a problem with -TVGuide -Recordings -LiveTV command line parameters introduced in the last release.
- Fixed a problem with Season recordings. Previously certain characters in the program name could stop the recordings being scheduled.
- Fixed a problem with back-to-back recordings which could cause subsequent recording to not take place.
- Added support for using FFDShow for post-processing. To use this, you must download and install a *recent* version of the FFDSHOW filters (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_...fdshow.cfm). FFDSHOW should work with any MPEG2 decoder, as long as the decoder doesnt use DXVA.
- Corrected a problem with handling of dates. If no timezone abbreviation was explicity stated, I was assuming GMT then subtracting the offset (-0500). After reviewing the XMLTV dtd, I found that this was actually supposed to default to UTC (not GMT).
I wish for a configuration option to set an external player (e.g. WMP or Winamp) for playing audio files (and maybe video files). In this way GBPVR would work as a frontend, enabling playback of all media formats without integral support for the hundreds of formats out there.
With the upgrade to .15, everything works perfectly including the fix for the hour behind problem in the guide. The only problem i'm having is during live tv, I cannot rewind. The pause function works, but once out of pause, I cannot ffwd through commercials... any suggestions??
yet another newbie question, i have just got an mvp and after a few probs getting GB-PVR to run, i thought i would get the tv listings up and running but i cannot for the life of me fathom out how to add the xmltv files or where to get them in the first place!
just curious to know if you do anything in GB-PVR to deal with daylight savings? I would assume this is all handled by Windows and that essentially you do not care?
I noticed that this week GB-PVR seems to be recording an hour to soon, ie I went to record the simpsons last night at 8:00pm but GB-PVR kicked in at 7:00pm.
Daylight saving does not happen until this Sunday in the US but it would appear this is happening this week in the world of Microsoft windows. I'll mess with the machine tonight and see what happens,
Whilst I'm looking at timezones, I thought I'd also try to work out what is going wrong with the European +0100 XMLTV timezones. My first thought is the names of the Time Zones I use from the registry might be localized, and not match the ones I'm looking for.
If you have this problem, can you look if you have these registry keys, and the highlighted location? See image below:
