Hi

I'm having problems with fast forward and rewind when watching recorded programs (I'm not talking about live TV). In v0.12 I used to be able to hold down the fast foward button on the haupauge remote and it would play the video fairly cleanly at about double speed (which was really nice). I've gone to v0.13 and this does not work anymore, I get about two frames of video and then it reverts back to playing. The next time I press it, it seems to do nothing. Note that pressing the skip button works well, skipping 1 second at a time.

If I try to fast forward by bringing up the OSD and selecting the >> button, the time bar fast forwards but I dont see the video updating on the screen until I press play again. Is this how this is meant to work.

I wondered if this all works for anyone else or if some change was made in v0.13 which would have stopped it working.

I thought it might just be down to slow response to the remote control and I've tried it with and without IR Remote running and this seems to make no difference.

I've using the TV out on the PVR 350, so I don't think it can be to do with the codec selected (he default hauppage one).

I'm really just trying to find out whether I've got a particular problem or whether this functionality is not yet finish and I just need to be patient.

Thanks for any help, Dai

Could anyone tell me what the Record Season option does in the TV guide. I imagine it is there so that you can record all the episodes of a program but I mean how does it actually work.

Does it just record the same time on the same day every week or does it reocrd everything with the same title in the schedule or something else?

Be grateful for any info

Thanks, Dai

Ok, I have the XML TV file in a folder and GBPVR pointing to the file. If the file gets updated (once a day), does GBPVR automatically pick up the changes?

Thanks,

1. When I am in LiveTV mode, how do I pause/FF/RWD using the keyboard?
2. Are the LiveTV files supposed to be cleaned up when you change channels or exit?
3. Is the functionality for the HP remote built into GBPVR? I am using a USBUIRT and would like to use the HP remote to work GBPVR and the USBUIRT to tune channels.

Thanks,
Paul

It would be nice to be able to scroll to the next day easily in the guide. If it's Monday and I want to record something on Friday, it's a real pain today.

Hi sub

I have now several times observed that the recording service did not record a scheduled program.
Once I looked if the service was startet and it was. When I looked in recordings it still was listed as scheduled.
So for some reasen the recording service was not responding. When I closed the GBpvr program and restarted the recording service, and then opened the GBpvr again, then the program was listed as failed under recordings.
I think if i restarted the recording service before I went to bed, it would have been working. I think the problem emerged while some freezing or funny things in GBpvr.
Could it be at good idea if you implemented a heartbeat funktion in the recording server, and the Gbpvr program listened after the heartbeat. If no heartbeat, then make a pop up on the screen and maybe restart the recording service ?
I think it is very important that no recordings are missed, so it would be very nice with some checking.

PS: I give you a donation when the program is stable :-)

Does anybody know what the function of the red button (of the hauppauge PVR-350 remote) should be when the mini guide is active ?

With me it totally crashes the pc I assume this is not its desired function

It would be really usefull (specially according to my wife ) if the mini-guide also shows the next program information (either next to the current program information (preferred) or maybe toggle between current next with left/right arrow..)

After a fairly long research on the web, I finially narrowed down to mediaMVP and BG-PVR as the potential streaming media solution in my house.

I've read most of the content on this website and almost all the older posts. One question I still have is what is the user interface presented on TV by mediaMVP when it is talking to BG-PVR? is it something built in mediaMVP, or does it simply channel through the BG-PVR interface? any screenshot with mediaMVP would be helpful.

Thanks

I am very new to this forum but I’m glad I found it.  This is a great program especially since I was waiting for something like this ever since I got my Media MVP back in November.  Here are just a few ideas I have for features

For the TV Guide
- Ability to change the grid height of the listings (so text can be larger)
- Current time listed
- Ability to search listings
- Channel Number Listed next channel title above the program description

Just a few ideas and thanks for developing such a great program
