However neither scheduled recordings nor live TV won't work. I'm getting black screen in live and static in recordings, or zero length files. here's pvrx2.exe-native.log:
sub, feel free to shoot this down, but I thought I'd ask anyway...
A couple of the plugins I'm working on (and some I haven't even started) need to do standard directory/file browsing, just like the existing video/pictures/music plugins that you provide. Is there any chance you'd be willing to either a) provide the source you use to do this, or b) somehow make it possible for plugins to piggy-back on the existing file browsing ability? It could save us (me in particular ) a lot of work reimplementing functionality that's already there.
I know neither option is probably ideal for you, but you've provided some source in the past (eg, code for the main menu) and I found it extremely helpful at the time.
I was hoping to write a small plugin that would let me do fast channel/genre searches in the EPG, eg "show me all movies" or "show me all movies from just channels x, y, and z".
This obviously isn't possible yet because the EPG data in NPVR doesn't hold genre information, unlike GBPVR. Are there plans to include it at some point?
I'd sorely miss it if doesn't make it in, not least for the great ability that GBPVR has to colour-code the EPG by genre.
Comes with a proprietary remote which only seems to work in the PVR software that comes with the card, which is actually not too bad, but not as good as GBPVR. So I bought a MCE remote, then went through the heartache of finding drivers for it, because I'm running XP Home, not MCE (I own MCE but can't remember why I chose not to use it) It has one input which is split internally on the card to the two tuners, so you only need one cable, no splitters etc. It is a low profile card and can fit in a skinny case, and comes with a low profile bracket if you need it, but the normal height bracket is fitted as standard. Other than the antenna input, it just has a jack for the remote IR sensor. Included in the box is a DVB-T antenna - you would probably need to be living right next door to the transmission tower for it to be any good, but its in there, and the whole package is pretty cheap (about $60-$70). 2xAAA batts for the remote were included too, so as far as value for money, I'm suitably impressed.
I bought one of these cards, but the first one was faulty - the second tuner didn't work. Took me ages to diagnose. MSY Technology replaced it no problem.
The second one is a newer model, though there is nothing on the box to indicate that, but it came with a different remote, and newer, slightly better software and drivers. Very strange, but at least I've ended up with the newer version than the older one.
GB-PVR didn't support it out of the box, so I tried Mediaportal again. Its a ritual I go through every now and then, but MP still is rather buggy.
To get the card to work in GB-PVR, I didn't realise it was as easy as adding this to the bda.ini file:
[Leadtek Winfast DTV 2000 DS]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
RECEIVER_ONLY_MODE=1
FILTER_RECEIVER=WinFast DTV 2000 DS
PIN_RECEIVER_IN=Antenna In Pin
PIN_RECEIVER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
The quality etc of the card seems fine. It tunes pretty quick - takes half as long as my old videomate card. Every now and then the picture freezes for an instant, but that happens with my Samsung TV's built in tuner as well, so I presume its a transmission or antenna problem.
All seems well at the moment, except automounting ISO's isn't working anymore, but thats a different topic.
I'm trying to use a Hauppauge 1600 blaster in NPVR with Windows 7 64bit. I found a thread from earlier this year saying that the blast config utility wasn't working. But it does work when you download the Hauppauge software noted in Johnson's "getting started" thread. The test function sends the correct numbers, etc. Haupblast also does work but it only sends channel 1952. Is there some reason Haupblast would do that? Does anybody else have it working? Thanks.
Running Windows 7, GBPVR 1.4.7.
Have 2 cards installed - an HVR 1600 and a PVR 150.
When recording, the HVR 1600 card records fine, but I get nothing from the PVR 150 card. The system says it's recording but there's nothing to play and no files saved.
I have attached the log files in the hope that someone can take a look and tell me what's wrong.
Since a new install of Win7 on a new MB in June, the HTPC comes out of hibernate at approximately 13:45 each day, runs for a few minutes, and then hibernates. I can't determine what is doing this: the EPG update is set for 16:00. There is nothing in Task Scheduler that would explain it. Is there a tool I can use to see what causes the resume? Something that would write a log?
For some reason, if I reboot my machine the recordings work and come in better then ever for a period of about an hour, then after that I get corrupt unwatchable recordings per the picture below. It doesn't seem to be logging anything out of the ordinary. I've tried re-installing GB-PVR and reinstaling drivers and what not to no avail.
I am trying to run this on Windows 2008 which was a challenge but once I got it working I figured I was good to go. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this ?
I guess this is not a mvpmcX2 problem but my HD recordings from my Hauppauge HVR-4400 does not play smoothly on the Popcorn. The sound is perfect but the picture is choppy every second or so. Playing the file with Popcorns native player produces the same result but playing the file on the computer is perfect.
Anyone seeing this problem and knows if there is any solution to it?
