Hi, I run GBPVR merrily on an XP/32bit machine .... and with great difficulties on a seperate HP Vista 64 with 12GB RAM, Intel i7 etc. I can generally get it to run for a week or two but after that time things always degrade:

1. TV schedules don't always happen automatically
2. GBPVR tray does not respond (just hangs or runs VERY slowly which is odd for a fast machine)
3. PVR does not respond..... (left mouse does nothing)

I regularly reboot, reinstall, reregister filters and re-run mc2xml as Administrator (NOTHING works if not Administrator), and regularly rescan cahnnels (seems to help) .... so my question is... is there an idiots guide to install for Vista 64?

BTW it's an HP with a HVR-1800 (same as I have in my XP machine)

Could this be a driver problem? should I install Hauppauge drivers first from the web? (the HVR was bundled so I have no disks).

I'm not really sure how best to describe this, but I am having a problem with the positioning of the thumbnails when in the thumbnail view. Everything seems fine when first going into a directory with many movies with thumbnails, but once I exit one of the subfolders, it seems to place that folder's thumbnail at the top left corner no matter where it was originally. This alone would not really seem like a problem, but it looks like the program is remembering where this thumbnail originally was positioned, and thinks it is still in the original position. This causes the selection to sometimes stop on the down motion before actually getting to the bottom thumbnail, or on the up motion, to continue up and then over to the bottom left.

OK, now this is strange. I have noticed that if the PVR is in standby and show is scheduled to record, the PC starts to record the show without any outward signs that it woke up. I found it tonight 10 minutes into an HD recording and the LAN lights, HDD lights and case fans were all off. The PC was silent. I woke it up with LAN traffic, the fans all spooled up, and the show was there and had been recording as scheduled. Is it recording to RAM or do you think it is writing to the HDD, but without any lights or fans? I did have a show not record last week due to a "recording service not running" problem. Do you think it would have eventally woken up? I have not been able to get into it to check the logs yet. It was recording my wifes favorite show.... The one it lost last week was her other favorite show.

Has anyone seen this before? Do you think this is a problem? Or has this always been what has happened and somehow I missed it?:confused:

I'm trying to setup a serial IR blaster to control my STB. I found an How-To at this page:

http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardware/WinLirc

1st step (WinLirc) works fine!
But it seems that Irex17.zip is not available anymore (web site down or something).

Is there any other way to control my STB with a serial IR blaster??

Thanks!

I'm trying to add a schedule to my list of channels using TVxB, which is based on wget.

URL is

http://www.starhub.com/dev/shows/print.html?no=36

and it works fine in IE, but just doesn't download.

I've been using and configuring TVxB for several years now and have gotten "reasonably" familiar with it but I am stumped at the first hurdle.

With wget I always get this message when I open the downloaded html file "C:\Utils\TVXB\TVXB04Test\cache\TVxb-deutschewelle.hk-20101004.html"

Hi,

Apologies if this has already been answered (I did try a few searches but nothing came up). I've seen lots of posts about comskip and .ts files but they are all about playback in NPVR. The problem I have is wanting to cut the .ts file to remove the ads before then converting it to mp4 format.

I've found various GUI tools that can be used to edit .ts files but I'm looking for a CL tool that can be added to the postprocessing.bat and that will take in one of the formats comskip will output. I thought I was there with ProjectX but unfortunately it will only do Frame Position cutting (that comskip outputs) when you are demuxing. Since my program of choice for the mp4 encoding is Handbrake, unless I add another remuxing step, I can't use it because it doesn't take demuxed input.

Any ideas? TA.

I installed NPVR right beside GBPVR, so no change in HW or BDA drivers. With GB-PVR I can view encypted channels with the CI/CAM interface. But with NPVR I get a black screen. Other channels are fine.
I have a three tuner setup where two tuners that has no CI serves only free channels. And my Twinhan DTV Ter-CI (shows as a filter name with 878 in it) serves only the encrypted channels.

logs are attached

Hello,
I'm trying to find the best/correct position of my antenna. Is there a possibility that npvr shows me the signal strength or quality? I didn't find it.
Or do I need an external program? Which?

Hi,

I noticed some strange behavior when recording programs:
As long I keep my PC out of standby mode, every recording works like a charm. But when it gets into standby mode, it gets woken up at the right time but nothing is getting recorded. I've added some logs showing that I wanted to record something today at 17:50. At 18:00 I tried to play the part that has already been recorded, but the file was empty (0 Byte), so I cancelled the recording. I already looked at the logs, but couldn't spot any errors. Has anyone an idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance.


Best Regards

Hi!

I can receive 125 channels (needs a couple of scans to get them all). This is including both TV and radio-channels.

However, I'm missing several channels (I think it should be like 140 total).

Examples of missing channels:

- Viasat 4
- Discovery Channel HD

The card is a Terratec Cinergy C PCI HD w/CI (not in use).

Any suggestions?
