Just want to make sure I have this straight.
(I'm in north america)

I run xmltv tv_grab_na --configure

xmltv creates a .conf file

I run xmltv tv_grab_na > whatever.xmltv

Then in gb-pvr configuration I point to whatever.xmltv

If this is correct, am I responsible for periodically updating the .xmltv file myself somehow so that it can get imported into gb-pvr at 3 or 4 am?  Or am I missing a step?

Hi Graeme,

Currently using a donor Celeron 500 machine with PVR350 which seems to work ok (apart from the odd crash mentioned in other post), but considering upgrading to the new Asus DigiMatrix.

I believe it comes with a "Life View FlyTV Platinum mini card"  - the tuner is based on the SAA7135 chip. TV-Out is provided by the SiS315 graphics core and the SiS301 chipset.

Is there any reason why GBPVR would not work with this?

Ta!

I left my computer on last night and was surprised this morning to find my HD completely full! I found a 20+ gigabyte file in my GBPVR recording directory which was obviously the cause, but the weird thing was that I did not have the GB-PVR application running. I did however find that the GBPVR RecordingService was still active.

Is it normal for GBPVR to "record" while GB-PVR isnt even running?

Thanks

As I was installing the .15 release I noticed my .xml file is not being saved in the Configurations. Therfore every time I try to update my EPG, it gives an error obviously because it is not being pointed to my .xml file. I did notice that the devnz folder has read-only greyed in. So if you could tell me where this setting is saved so I could double check the file is not read-only that might do it.

Otherwise what log file do you need.

Thanks

I'm using gb-pvr mostly for playing my existing mpeg videos and also sometimes for playing a video that wintvcap is currently recording. I noticed that during playback gb-pvr does not know that file is growing. I'm using wintvcap separately from gb-pvr. I don't know if it makes a difference, but anyway it seems that gb-pvr checks the file length when starting the playback and stops after the time is achieved. So could it be possible to play video file even if it's ongoing recording?

Hello !

First of all I would like to say that the program looks superb. If I could get this program to work properly, it would be great. One program that handles all my needs for my htpc.

Though I have one major problem. When watching live TV or a recorded program, and have enabled my PVR-350 TV-Out, the system freezes compleatly, just to hit the power-button.

My system:
VIA EPIA-M 1GHz nemiaha
Hauppauge PVR-350
Win XP Home SP1 (Swedish)
Hauppauge driver :1.8.22020
Hauppauge Software MPEG Decoder 4.0.21154
VIA Drivers: 4in1_v_443.zip

I picked up a PVR-250MCE card. It does not have the Hauppauge remote, but does have the FM radio. I do have a MCE remote. Is there anyway yet to use this remote?

Thanks.

Should be simple, but I would like the ability to install the package to a drive other than C:.

I just found your project and I must say it looks very good so far. I too am working on a Windows based PVR, but I have just begun. I see I have a LOT of catching up to do

My testing hardware just decided to hose me, but when it's back up you can believe I will be giving GB-PVR a test run.

It's nice to see this project. I was getting tired of seeing Windows have MCE and a couple commercial offerings while Linux had the best ones, free and/or open source to boot.

I can't imagine you will be going open source any time soon if ever, but if you decide to build a team in the short term to work on it I suspect you would be hearing from me

Good luck and happy recording!

I only have a mediamvp. I installed the latest ver of gbpvr, to see what it could do. The menu screen is a bit off on the tv screen. Too far to the upper left, cutting some or it off. The movies I have in mpeg play, but are much more grainy than the mediamvp software. Before I buy a tv card, the 250, I want to make sure this software is worth it (getting a 250 tv card, that is). Also, does the gbpvr software let you list mpeg files in a list, no thumbs?
thx
