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

I noticed that in the TV Guide you can go through the guide faster by using the keyboard’s page up and page down buttons and was wondering if it would be possible to do this using the Hauppauge/Media MVP remote using buttons other than ch+/ch-?

Thanks for any help on this.

I’m using XML Automate to grab TV Listings and I have the GBPVR v.13.
The only time my TV Guide updates the listings from my XML file is if I go into the configuration program and click the “Update EPG” button. Is this the only way to update the TV listings in GBPVR? Or is there some command I could add to the XML Automate bat file?

Thanks for any help on this.

When I'm listening to music, I sometimes file like making a custom playlist for the mood I'm in. Then a queue-song option would be nice. (Perhaps even save playlist..., but that's far less important.)

Another thing, as my music and video libraries grow, they get nested more and more. It would be nice when the back button on the remote could be used to go up one directory.

Thanks sub for all your great work!

Sub,
I have just made a disturbing discovery concerning GB-PVR's frontend unusually high memory usage. First off I would like to mention that I would expect a program like this to take up a descent amount of memory due to its display type. The problem was dicovered when I opened windows task manager and noticed that the usage for the frontend just slowly creeping up every time I would enter a sub menu exit and then enter it again etc. This would prove to be a problem after long use of the Frontend.

It is a little hard to put my problem into words but being some what versed in programming it seems like your class destructors are not working or not implimented or something to this affect.

Also before catching the problem it caused many crashes due to memory being way too low, like down below the 10,000KB range.

Again sorry for this winded posting but it seems I may have found a bug worthing of correcting.

Thanks,
Rock

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone else has the same issues as me. I have tried everything to get this sorted but haven't had any luck.

The Problem

When watching Video Clips or Live TV on the MVP using any version of GBPVR inlcuding .13 as soon as I try to ff or rw or go to the menu I get a black screen and nothing works except the power button on the remote. When the menu loads up again after returning from the powered down state the remote still does not work except the power button. This happens for both recording sources Direct and WinTV cap.

I often get this error coming up on the PC in a .NET framework window when this happens:

************** Exception Text **************
System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object named "System.Net.Sockets.Socket".
Object name: "System.Net.Sockets.Socket".
  at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Send(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags)
  at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Send(Byte[] buffer)
  at ab.a(Boolean A_0)
  at ab.d(Image A_0)
  at a.a()
  at a.g()
  at ab.b(Object A_0, EventArgs A_1)
  at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.OnTick(EventArgs e)
  at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr idEvent, IntPtr dwTime)

This video playback behaviour doen't occur in the Official MediaMVP client software.

What I have tried

I have tried everything to my knowledge I have gone to Windows 2000 then back to XP on each trying official and latest beta drivers for both Hauppage PVR 250 and the MediaMVP.

Currently I am on v 0.13 of GBPVR and 22035 CD package from SHSPVR for the PVR250 and 22050 version for the MediaMVP running on Win XP SP1 with latest .NET framework installed and latest MDAC.

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated as It currently unusable for me as each time I watch an Mpeg I have to got to the PC and restart the GBPVR MVP server.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Sub, Love the work you are doing, keep it up.

As the PVR-350 has support for FM Radio, it would be nice to have a FM tuner (and maybe recording?) application included in this excellent program
