Hi,

I am running into problems with live tv on the MediaMVP it works fine on the pc but when on the mvp live tv plays for about 5 seconds and stops whilst crashing the gbpvr mediamvp server. When I look on my pc the livetv mpeg has captured about 10 seconds of tv. I am using the direct recording option.

Has anyone else experienced this problem ?

I just want to say that GB-PVR is a piece of art. It is incredible for a one-man-job. I'm a newby when it comes to GB-PVR, I used my set-up today for the first time to record some stuff.

I have two questions:

It stopped recording too soon, the padding is set at 5 before and 10 after, the show was 1h, but it only recorded 1:01:57.
What did I do wrong?
I have to add I pressed 'record show' in the EPG 3 minutes before the start of the show (so during the 5 minutes padding that would have been in front). Still I expected a total recording time of > 1:10:00 since the start padding was only partly needed but the 10 min end padding still had to be applied. It looks like since the first padding could not be fullfilled completly, the endpadding failed.
Is this observation correct?


I also have a question about liveTV:

What happens is (I use the 0.12 version), that when I start up GB-PVR, all works like a charm.
The first time I start up liveTV all works great. When after this I press the back or menu button, I of course end up in the main menu. After this the liveTV playback does not function correctly anymore. I can hear the sound but the main menu stays visible. The CH+ and CH- change the channel (I notice that since the sound changes). Pressing the Back button stops the liveTV and gives control back to the menu, the next attempt also fails.
During this strange situation I'm able to watch a recording correctly.
I have to restart GB-PVR to resolve this.

What could this be?

Thankz,
Michel

Firstly, just wanted to say, top software !
Beats the pants off Sage TV, you have the OSD working great through the PVR 350 - which is my big hook.

I understand that Divx through the PVR 350 tv out is not available - Is it possible to have this software decoded and sent through the TV out ? (Im assuming not - I convert AVI to MPEG2 to put them in the video files folder at the moment and get a conversion rate of about 3 fps !

Will you be introducing Pause of live TV ?

Would be nice to be able to suppress the mini channel info that pops up when viewing live TV - I use a cable decoder for input and that pops up channel info - the 2 of them can be confusing on screen at the same time !

Reminders would be nice - e.g. not auto record - just an on screen message to say that program you had flagged earlier was about to start (amount of time b4 program starts is in config.)

Hope you don't think the above are moaning - just suggestions, I think it's great what you are doing and am really appreciative of the work you are putting in on your own time to make this available to us - THANKS.

Cheers

Hi,

I've got the EPG update working fine now (Had a problem with xp scheduler, but sorted that at the microsoft site) , I have the nice Icons for some channels , but not others. Could anyone let me know what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks


Mark

If these have been covered already sorry.

1. Use Mp3 tags and album art.
2. When exploring folders remember where you left off at on the folder before.
3. Make it so you can delete videos from the video library
4. If someone could hack the MediaMVP so it can wake up computer from hibernation.
5. If threre is a way GB PVR can control video adjustments on recordings. For example: Brightness, Color, Contrast ect.. The mpeg decoder on Media MVP is dark and has to much red.

I just wondered which size is Sub's "To-Do" list?

Hi

I´m having trouble getting the tv-guide to work. When I import the xmltv file I get the tv stations alright but when I try to use the tv-guide I get no listings. What could be wrong? My system date is correct so that shouldn´t be the problem. My thinking is that it shouldn´t matter which driver I have for my PVR 350. Correct? Another thought is if the channels in the xml-file somehow has to correspond with the source channel. Below is part of my xml file with all channels and programs but one are removed. Thankful for some help.

First, the software looks great - looks like it will eventually do everything my TiVo does!

Whenever I click on Live TV, I get th error &quot;Failed to communicate with the GB-PVR Recording Service...&quot;

I have checked and the Recording Service is running.

I can use Hauppauge WinTV 2k with no problems, and the music library works fine though.

Any help would be appreciated

If you can incorporate this feature, I'll make a sizeable donation!!

Very nice!!!

Does GB-PVR support displays for 16:9 screens and mapping aspect ratios for larger displays (plasma/lcd etc.) (and remapping during playback to get optimal viewing?)

Does GB-PVR support the MPEG2 hardware encoding native to the Hauppauge PVR 250/350 cards? or is it using a software encoding engine?

Does GB-PVR support the playback of DivX media files, and will it allow you to recompress MPEG2 files into DivX (without using an external program like Gordian or Dr DivX.)?
