Hi Guys,
i found this really great tool and think it'll have a great future!

What i'm missing in ALL soft (not only your's) that i found till now, is the possibility for user like me, who want to save their recordings to an external or changeable Harddisk!
(I take this Swappable Harddisk out of myHTPC and put it in my WorkingPC for the cutting and athoring process)

So what i want is:  
SavingPath for my records should be FIRST= "F:\TVCap\"
In case that it does not exist (it is taken out or powered-off) than it should be recorded as SECOND Choice to "D:\TVCap\"
And maybe it could be directly combined with a MINIMUM-Space option! So lets say:
If EXISTS "F:\TVCap\" AND availableSpace > 4GB then take this record path first
Else ....

And this CHECK must be done everytime BEFORE an recording starts !!!!


And so, as well, it must be possible to look in serveral paths for play back! (yes, i saw as well the other thread just requesting this feature!

-----------------------------------------

Another thing is to get the possiblility to define, when programming a TV-recording, on each programming an own, maybe different quality (best by drop-down menu), so that i can use this with WinTVCap  (DVD,HalfD1,SVCD.....)



So WHAT DO YOU THINK, will it be a great problem? I really don't understand, why nobody takes care to the people, using USB/Swappable HD's with their HTPC?

P.S.:
Sorry to all english people for my bad english and mistakes. I'm german and it's really hard for me to explain my ideas and whishes in english!

Hi folks,

I am interested in setting a GB PVR system up. My goal is to record VHS quality video to disk using a guide setup and play it back later. The realtime PVR pause/FF/rewind features would be nice for live TV but not required.

I have a bunch of spare parts lying around the house.

Which of the two motherboards at my disposal should I use?

-ECS 1.1Ghz Duron motherboard
-VIA EPIA 800Mhz MiniITX motherboard

(or are these too slow?)

How much memory would be recommended?

The Hauppauge PVR250/350 are prohibitively expensive here in Canada, but the Leadtek PVR2000 board is very cheap. How is the support for this board?

I also have a LIRC compatible IR receiver and remote. Would it be preferred to buy the Leadtek bundled remote or would a LIRC compatible system be easier to integrate?

Given these components (the Leadtek is the only thing I don't have) is a simple system possible?

Thank you for your time and answers!

Wasn't sure where to post this, so if it needs to be moved over feel free.

The only way I've seen to get DVD playback working on the Hauppauge PVR350 card is under linux with a hacked version of mplayer. Perhaps some Windows dev's could look into that for a way to port that idea over As it sits right now, I know of no Windows programs that can do it. And also that hacked mplayer for linux doesn't do any hardware decoding acceleration, it just outputs the video through the PVR350. Hope that made some sense...moving on!

My idea is to Y-join (as opposed to a Y-splitter, get it?) the composite TV-Out of the 350 card along with a TV-Out of a standard video card. In theory, you could watch TV through the 350's TV-Out and watch a DVD through the video card's TV-Out. Anyone have any thoughts on this, before I tear everything apart and try it?

Thanks.

I've recently switched to using s3 standby rather than leaving things on all the time.

Sometimes it records ok. When it doesn't work I get the first 2 minutes or so (1:54 & 2:04). The GUI says "recording", the file is locked, but not increasing in size.

Ideas on a postcard please.

Hi,

I've updated the PicturesPlugin, see Readme.txt for details, mainly bug fix, Rotate, and Zoom functionality.

Sub, I've managed to implement a slideshow (not in this version) but, by specifying requiresMoreRendering, I lose the ability to check for keypresses, so I can't start the pictures moving and also check the input for "pause".  Can you think of (or implement) a way round this?

Gerry, does it cope with your 300 images now?

Cheers,

Does gbpvr need to be running in order for the automatic importing of the guide xml file to take place? Or does the service handle that?

See attached screenshot - not noticed this before, must be new to the bleb.org XMLTV file - the use of "&" for "&" in the XML.



Cheers,
Andy

Is the ability to search for an upcoming show in the guide planned for an upcoiming release? Based on everything I've read, this and the ability to have separate video folders are the only two features I'd need that this software doesn't already have, in order to give it a permanent home on my system.

I'll be watching the forums daily - just wanted to get my 'wish list' items in if they're not already on the list.

Thanks - this application looks like it has lots of promise!

Hi,

The scheduled recordings work great.. i've used them now with no failures at all for several days.

I'm using the latest released version and I've noticed that when I go to playback a video file.. it plays fine until I hit skip a few times. This last time, if I just hit "skip" and then sat there.. it was fine.. but if I hit "skip skip skip" or something like that, without waiting.. it skipped and then basically locked the video/audio stream. The OSD seemed to continue however. And if I hit "Menu" I was able to get back to the menu on my PC Monitor (though my TV out stayed frozen on the video frame it died on)

I'm using a PVR-350 and I've tried this with VRM9 and Overlay modes.

Any ideas? or is this something known?

I've got :

Pace Sky Digital STB
A USBUIRT
Hauppage Silver Remote
Girder 3.3
Downloaded GBPVR.GML

Where in the GBPVR Commands group in the girder file do I teach the USBUIRT plugin the Sky STB IR codes to send on channel change events from GBPVR?

Sorry to be so thick :-(
