hi, i just got gb-pvr setup on my windows machine because the hardware in my linux box doesnt get along with the pvr-350. so, windows will be responsible only for the scheduled recordings of programs, which will be saved remotely to the linux box (using NFS in microsoft unix services for windows).
everything seems to work great when run manually, i even wrote a client/server suite in perl to let me change channels over the network (liinux box has serial connection to the directv reciever).
the problem comes when i try to schedule a recording in gb-pvr, it refuses to record anything. looking in the wintvcap log, it claims it cannot find the path specified (and gives the full path). i can copy and paste this exact path and run wintvcap on the commandline and it records just fine. what gives?

here are some excerps from the wintvcap.log:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
4060 InitParams: Your lpCmdLine is "-c255 -board:1 -profile:DVD -startr:Y:\recordings\ExtremeSenses_1021.mpg"

i can copy/paste the cmdline given here and when fed to wintvcap it works perfect.

and there is the actual error.

Unfortunately I have been unable to use vmr7 or vmr9 for display.  The overlay method produces some pretty unsatisfactory results.

My machine has the &quot;old style&quot; agp slot so I am limited as to the type of video card I can use.  Right now I'm using an ATI Rage Fury with tv out and it doesn't seem to handle vmr.

Any suggestions on a fairly cheap card that will work with the older agp slots (Asus P3BF mobo)?  It would have to have tv out because I don't use a monitor with this machine

Thanks

Problem 1.  I'm using Windows2k pro so I added the entries to the irremote.ini file manually but the remote still does not work with GBPVR.

Problem 2.  It seems that the hauppauge remote uses the same frequency as my television.  So even if I could get the remote to work It still wouldn't be very useful because it changes the tv as well.

Any way I can get around this?
Would I have the same problem If I bought some other remote?

Also what is the proper configuration for Channel Changer so that gbpvr uses the remote even if it is not running?

GBPVR .10

Hallo all!

I just found GBPVR as an alternative to windows media center.
I installed a plain system on my VIA EPIA M Mainboard, all latest drivers and service packs for XP and hardware. After that, I installed GBPVR. But if I try to start it it crashes bringing me th german error message:

&quot;Die Anwendung hat einen Ausnahmefehler verursacht, der nicht verarbeitet werden kann.

Prozess-ID=0x5dc (1500), ThreadID==x244 (580)

I could not start config or gbpvr. whats wrong??

Cheers
Mike

I'm trying to get GB-PVR up and running but I can't get hold of any TV schedules. Everything I have found so far has pointed to Ananova but their website says

&quot;Sorry, but Ananova is no longer able to bring you TV listings.&quot;

Could someone point me in the direction of an alternative source for the UK version of the XML file please

when i try to watch livetv i et an error saying: not enoguh memory, and shortly after that an error saying: renderfiletovmr9 failed!!


?? Ehm?

Hi

I am getting an error when trying to use livetv(pvr250 card). cannot connect to record service etc etc... the log looks like this:

Hi,

I would like to use GB-PVR as a service using PVR-350 hardware only so another user can use same computer to browse internet or play games. I've succesfully installed and runned it as service with Firedaemon, but when it's a service I have no way to access the controls.

Is there any way Hauppauge IR-controller can have access to a service? It seems it works only if the GB-PVR window is visible and focused.

Another thing, why there is not Finland in direct record options? I've had lots of problems to tune channels... (Wintv and other PVR-software works fine)

Just got this running and have to say it's great. Compared to Showshifter and beyond tv it's got so much more promise.

Missing three things I'd really like:

1. Full screen toggle. While GBPVR is running. Having to exit and change it in the config is a little long winded

2. Skip, Previous buttons for Music player for when I'm using a mouse or keyboard

3. Better naming of recorded files (Eastenders_4268 vs. Eastenders_220104_2000_2100). That way I know what I've recorded and when.

And a minor... Not resetting TV guide to &quot;now&quot; after setting a program to record

Hi,

I have a asus pundit with a pvr 350 in it. The SPDIF output is optical, but my TV only has a coaxial input. Before I spend $70 buying a converter from optical to coaxial, can someone tell me:

If I play a DVD/DivX throught the PVR using the composite-out in the PVR, the sound goes through the SPDIF ? or only through the Composite-out ?
or in another way: is there any way to output digital audio while using the hardware acceleration provided by the PVR?


Hope you understand my prob, and thanks for any help.
