OK, I give up on the pvr 350 card. Looks like if you have a crashing problem with OSD it is going to stay that way. I am returning it today and buying an xcard.

What xcard model are people using that has a video out. Thanks.

Hi,

I have installed GBpvr 2 days ago. I tried to record programs manually without success. The software claims, it is recording, the capture card (pvr350) is locked, but nothing is written on the HDD.
After trying on my other PC (first PC with win XP, second with win 2000), I had the same effect. No recording.

I solved the problem by removing the default option: AUTO-CREATE FOLDERS WHEN RECORDING.

As I have no EPG at the moment, I think, the program has no name to begin with, and fails to create a file name.

I hope, this will help the programmer(s?), who already did a great job.

I was listening to a net radio station, then switched to the music library page and selected a mp3 to play. The net radio stopped playing and the mp3 played fine. I stopped and started a few mp3's when I noticed my network tray icon was still showing a lot of traffic. I waited a bit more and still saw the heavy net traffic. I exited gb-pvr and the traffic went away. I suspect gb-pvr stopped playing the net radio station when I played the mp3, but it didn't shut down the stream.

And yes, the mp3 files were local so that wasn't it

I see the .pls files. How do you create them? And how do you find the info. For example, what would I do to add this station http://www.knac.com.

Thanks.

Sub,
I've been having problems getting recordings to actually record. Just now I started a manual recording, a folder called manual recordings was created in my video library folder but there is not a file in the folder. Disk light flashes as if a recording was being made, but no file. Recordings menu says "Recording", but I can't find the file. Over the last week or so, I've had a number of scheduled recordings not record.

Got any ideas? Things to try? I've restarted the recording service a couple of times, still no change.

Thanks,

Bryan

The menus doesn't seam to respont very quickly, so is it posible to make some shortscuts using the numbers on the remote? (so "1" would take you to the TV Guide, "4" would take you to the Recordings and so on).

-- Ignore this I missed this thread Topic: Menu Navigation, specifically on the MVP.
Also, if there's a long list of songs in the Music Library it takes a long time to scroll down the list, and if you just keep the down button pressed for a couple of seconds it keeps scrolling for awhile afterwards.

I don't know if this is a common problem or if it's just my computer that's slow (via 1ghz mini-itx), but I have had the problem in all the gbpvr versions I have tried (hmm.. I think I started with v11, now v15e on an new XP installation).

In the different menu's it can be handy that when you go down the menu and arrive at the last button on the bottom, when you move one more down the 'cursor' would go to the first button again. So in the Main menu when you go down from Exit you go to TV Guide.

First of all, thanks for a great piece of software.

Would it be possible to allow the user to zoom/crop the image from the capture device? My PVR350 gives me a white line on either side on my image that's very distracting (I don't think it's the card - I suspect it's a problem with the signal from my cable box). Both Got TV and ShowShifter allow me to crop the output so that these lines don't show.

Sub,

I have an offer, let me know if you are interested. I am one of the people having video out crashes with your software as well as sagetv. I am using an IBM Netvista M41. I have access to the exact motherboard and processor I am using. I would be happy to ship it to you so you can replicate the problem (you stated before you have not seen this happen). I think sage is going to drop the ball on this and I have a lot of faith in your product. If interested I could send:

IBM Netvista M41 motherboard
intel pentium IIII 2g processor
at least 256megs memory

unfortunately i have to go to work sometimes so it would be nice to schedule shows over the web

If this is lowlowlow prority i can look into it (but its also lowlowlow at my side) to create a web site from the tvlistings xml file
I just need to know which parameters needs to get submited to gbpvr?
