You can easily setup an shortcut to GB-PVR.exe for here, and also create a shortcut to GBPVRTray.exe in her startup folder.

ive narrowed down a bug with recording, it seems every time i scheduled recording is due to start and live tv is going, it sometimes kicks me out (everytime it kicked me out if live tv wasnt running for hours and hours) but the video file is only a around 600ks, it says its recording in recordings menu until its suppose to end, but only a blank 600kish file is created. also it doesnt kick me out of live tv until the show actually starts, not when ive booked it (ie the preshow padding is ignored). im running it on the pvr350 with tv out.

Yes, I saw you other post earlier today and spent some time look at it this morning and I think I've corrected the problem. I'll do some more testing tonight.

The pre/post-padding is usually only applied if the tuner is not in use, so (to be consistent) you should be able to watch right up real show start time before GB-PVR decides you cant use the tuner any longer. That said, because of the tuner/lease renewal scheme works, you may still end up with 30 seconds or so of pre-padding.

Sub,
 I'm getting this error when hitting the record button from the web:

Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

&lt;configuration&gt;
   &lt;system.web&gt;
       &lt;customErrors mode=&quot;Off&quot;/&gt;
   &lt;/system.web&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the &quot;defaultRedirect&quot; attribute of the application's &lt;customErrors&gt; configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

&lt;configuration&gt;
   &lt;system.web&gt;
       &lt;customErrors mode=&quot;RemoteOnly&quot; defaultRedirect=&quot;mycustompage.htm&quot;/&gt;
   &lt;/system.web&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any thoughts??

Thanks

Quote[/b] (sub @ Nov. 27 2004,21:47)]I've uploaded the new v0.23 release to http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR0238.msi.

This is a big release with a lot of changes, and includes many of the big ticket items that I've been putting off for months. The release has had quite a bit of testing, but given the amount of change - if you're after a super stable system, this may not be the release for you.

From the change.log
2004-11-28 v0.23
- Added support for the new Hauppauge cards, specifically the PVR150 and PVR500 (dual tuner).
- LiveTV support has been entirely redeveloped. You can now FF/Skip during LiveTV for PC/XCard/PVR350/MVP. In theory your can also RW, but this seems to only works sometimes - work in progress and all that...
- You can now press the &quot;record&quot; button on your remote whilst watching a program to record it. This records everything that GB-PVR has on the program, including the bits you've already watched. Please note, when you start a recording this way, it'll also stop when you leave live tv.
- You can now play a recording that is already in progress with out being kicked back to the menu half way through.
- Added SECAM support for GO7007SB based capture devices.
- Initial support for the LifeView TV Walker mini. This no longer required WinDVD Creator to be installed. One of the steps (IAMCrossbar-&gt;Route()) when starting live tv is very slow on this device, which makes it very slow to start livetv for the first time.
- Now includes support for MPEG2 variable bit rate (VBR) recordings.
- Now able to use the Globespan registry settings for recording volume etc.
- Manual recording has been totally redeveloped. You should recreate any manual recording you have previously set up.
- The &quot;Play&quot; key can now be used to skip to the next commercial skip point if video is already playing, and comskip file is available. You can still also use the &quot;0&quot; skip-forward/skip-back key combination from the last release.
- There is now an option to group &quot;available&quot; recordings.
- Conflict management screen now available (off Recordings screen) for managing conflicts between reoccuring recordings  
- Made a few more skin features configurable. If you maintain a skin, see the separate post that lists the changes.
- You can now specify submenus to allow you to group functionality, instead of just one big list of buttons.
- You can now update existing pending recordings (padding, quality etc).
- Numerous other small tweaks and bug fixes.
- Now executing PostUpdateEPG.bat if it exists, after updating the EPG.
- Green can be used for page up in the tv guide. Blue for page down.
- Pressing Play in the tv guide on a show that is currently playing will start live tv.  
- Added a couple of panels to the menu showing information (clock and pending recordings). They're disabled by default, but can be enabled easily in the &quot;skin\blue\mainmenu\skin.xml&quot; file.
- You can now launch any of the menu items directly from the command line using the &quot;-direct&quot; parameters. This replaces the old hard coded parameters (-livetv etc). As an example, GBPVR.EXE -direct &quot;live tv&quot;.
- Added native support for the RedRat3. For IRDA support, you'll need to continue to use the .exe channel changer for now.
- Added option to config.xml to disable the OSD during video playback. This makes the MVP much much more responsive.

Is there a &quot;hotkey&quot; to get back to the present?  And, it doesen't seem that the xx seconds skip key works (eg. I type 60 on the Hauppauge remote, then skip).

Otherwisie, this was one of the key components that changes GBPVR from a &quot;toy&quot; that works well to something that will work in everyday life.  Only thing now is RW of current channel regardless of recording status (obviously unless another recording is on) (an &quot;instant replay button&quot; if  you will, press a button, and the show automatically rewinds x seconds.)

Thanks,
ANEDJF

Well after several days now of using the new version it appears the 350 lockup bug is finally squashed thanks to your hard work, sub, great job!

Still having issues with shows being missed for season record however, it's not just 1 show it's a few I've noticed now, hopefully we can figure out wtf is up with that and squash that bug too!

On that front, we have worked out the reason for this problem (zap2it related) and its been corrected for a maintenance release due in the next couple of days.
