My Winfast TV2000 XP card did not use to work because the driver used some hungarian names. First of all thanks sub for fixing this issue. Unfortunately I have another one.
Whenever I try to watch something with the winfast card, I get an "Unable to communicate with recording service" error.
Making the move to NPVR from GB-PVR on same machine, same devices etc. Know I did not have this error before with 1.3.3. Just to check ran up all 3 devices I have in GB-PVR on different clients simultaneously they all worked playing TV.
I get message 'device failed to start'
but is this referring to my PVR 150 (in which case I know there is an error with analog device & NPVR to be worked out) or my trusty FiredTV device? I think this refers to my FiredTV device which I know is working brilliantly with GB-PVR. (Just checked )
This is with NPVR 1.3.6 and no patches, did I miss something?
I believe I have everything set up correctly as far as my recording source goes, set at Digital Recording Plugin - 2250 (QAM), latest drivers, latest gbpvr release...but when I click on map digital channels to EPG channels, it scans all 138 channels or so, and doesn't find any channels. I have my TV right next to my computer and swapped the coax cable between the card and the TV and my TV picks up all the channels just fine. No dice with the card however. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated. Time is of the essence.
Is there any way at the moment that I can set a blank screen saver -ie nothing displayed at all. The reason I ask is that all of the current screen saver options seem to run the feeble CPU in my Atom ION clients at about 15%, which is enough to kick the (admittedly quiet) fan in after a while. Just enough to be irratating in a silent room though.
I've bought some Somic e-95 headphones,& I really like them. The sound quality seems good and they're quite cheap.
Now I've got the audio going through hdmi to the tv and when I plug in the headphones it switches to the USB headphones. This was done by making the USB audio device the default and disabling any other audio drivers other than the hdmi out.
I am using GBPVR with SAF codec pack and am suspicious that I am not getting 5.1 surround to the headphones though by looking at the filters (but Im not really sure).
Any advice, software tools, help etc would be appreciated.
I've been putting off looking at NPVR until Schedules Direct support was added. So today I downloaded the latest file and installed it. It installed OK as far as I can tell and the ATSC channel scan worked OK and found all the local channels but when I try to map them into the Schedules Direct channels I don't seem to get all of them from Schedules Direct. I have several that have sub-channels, like KAETDT1, KAETDT2, KAETDT3, and KAETDT4. The problem is that the SD channel drop-down only seems to show the last sub-channel for each channel, i.e. KAETDT4 in this example, so I can't map the others. They're all present in the SD report and it works with GB-PVR so I think SD is OK. I'm probably not doing something correctly...any ideas? Thanks...
Just got a Hauppage HD-PVR with my Christmas money and am having some issues getting it set up.
What is working:
- Channel changing, am doing that via timmoore firestb and channel.exe
- I get a video signal in live TV mode
- Audio works when testing the HD-PVR passthru connected to the TV
What is not working:
- No audio through the PC
- Video shows a scrolling message regarding an elecard codec or SDK that needs to be purchased/upgraded with a watermark in the upper right corner... (?)
What I've not tried:
- Recording and playback of recordings made by the HD-PVR
Since the channels that my HDHR can tune, I know it's not a larger issue with the hardware config. Those channels work fine with the decoders I have chosen (Cyberlink Video Decoded PDVD10, ATI MPEG Audio Decoder, and AC3Filter).
I'm having a problem playing back some mpg's that I have. I noticed this with version 1.5.33 with all the patches, 1.5.36, and 1.5.36 with the patches. The issues are:
1) The timeline is incorrect. For example, one video will be 1:01:43 but the timeline will show 3:13:25. Both Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player will show 1:01:43. This particular file is 13.6 GB.
2) When I skip forward, it seems that it will start to skip forward from the last time I skipped forward. So, if I skipped forward up until the 5 minute mark, watched 10 minutes, and then attempted to skip forward again, it would start back at the 5 minute mark.
3) Occasionally the video/audio will randomly freeze. I am able to hit ESC, wait about a minute, and then it will exit and return back to the list of videos.
4) Occasionally the audio will get out of sync.
I tried using different video/audio decoders but that didn't seem to help. One interesting thing that I've noticed is that since I've changed from using FFDShow from my video/audio decoders, it still uses them.
