I wanted to ask if anyone could help me figure out why my new installation with a Hauppauge 1250 isn't working for me. NPVR is running, I scanned channels and they are showing in the guide. But when I choose to view live TV or watch a show on the guide, I just get a black screen, no audio or video. Do you know why this is happening and how to fix? I tried all the different decoders, but it makes no difference.

I read something on one post about registering a .dll or something along those lines. Something about the Arcsoft decoder not being available "system wide". Problem is the post wasn't very detailed and I am not sure how to go about doing this process (or which file this is even referring to).

EDIT: Oh yeah, another issue... how do you get the remote to function in NPVR?

Thanks!

Recently I started getting the following error when UltraXML was completing its process (during the "Writing out lists..." step.

[INDENT]Error: Writing Registry Value
The type of the value object did not match the specified RegistryValueKind or the object could not be properly converted.[/INDENT]

I think this error comes from value being written to the registry being too large. I forget the value in my registry, but it was over 2147483648 (2 GB).

In order to correct this error set the following registry value to 0. This will set your "to Date" counter to 0.

[INDENT]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\UltraXMLTV\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer\BytesToDate[/INDENT]

I note npvr has a disable option for each tuner. Is such a thing possible with gbpvr or is there a sneaky way to stop the recording service attaching to a tuner? Is it possible to edit the existing tuners to non-existant devices without upsetting things?

I ask because I would like to let gbpvr keep running to double check for upcoming season recordings that are not yet in a loaded EPG. I am deleting them from gbpvr as they are populated into npvr

When I'm playing a divx file on my NMT (with of course the native player of the NMT, mono), there are no subtitles (.srt file). I do get the subtitles using the mvp server of gbpvr, and I believe it used to work for npvr too.

I was able to install MainConcept mpeg2 decoder and have it available on the settings screen of nPvr.

I have some other codecs I would like to try, like EleCard and InterVideo, but they are not available on the list of codecs.

What do I need to do to see these codecs on the dropdown of nPvr ?

I have USBUIRT working from the command line but I am having trouble getting it to change the channels on my STB within NPVR. I do not even see it trying. Here is what I use at the command lline USBUIRTSend.exe "C:\npvr\fios.dat" 018 and it will change to channel 18.

Here is what I have under Channel Changer.
Executable: C:\Program Files (x86)\npvr\USBUIRTSend.exe
Arguments: "C:\npvr\fios.dat" {channel} (including the quotes)

Here are the instructions I am using http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...light=uirt

Reposted here:
Place a copy of usbuirtsend.exe in a convenient folder
Place a copy of your existing IR Definition in a convenient folder
If your definition file is **.txt rename it **.dat
Add usbuirtsend.exe to the Executable
In the arguments type in quotes the dat file location (eg "C:\Program Files\NPVR\IR Definitions\VBox.dat" {channel})
Change the channel Number from 1-? to the numbers required by your set top box (eg 101, 102, 103 etc) The Tuner-Channel: number will be changed after you click OK

Here is what I have in the settings:

Hi,

Do i need to install any certain codec packages? I installed NPVR fine but when i go to watch live tv i can see no picture. just a black screen. i can hear the audio fine which makes me think i might need a codec.

Hi,

I downloaded the latest version of GB-PVR but cant get my tuner setup. I have the Winfast PalmTop DTV200H External tuner but GB-PVR says it cant detect it.

Any help?

Thanks

Just wondering if there are any plans to put the girder channel changer back in?

This one is odd, but it's burned me two nights in a row.

I have GB-PVR (1.4.7) set to pad recordings by 3 minutes at the start and end. Yesterday and tonight I had shows set to record at 8pm, 9pm, and 10pm. Tonight, the 8pm show recorded 7:57-9:03pm. The 9pm show recorded 8:57-10:03pm. The 10:00pm and 10:01pm shows both recorded from 10:03-11:03pm. Last night the exact same scenario was setup and the same thing happened except they were both 10:00pm recordings (instead of a 10:00pm and a 10:01pm). :mad:

I have 4 total tuners (2 HDHR) and have "Enable Multi-Record support" checked.

I've been using GB-PVR for a long time and never encountered this issue in the past. :confused:

I also ran a test earlier today where I set the system to record 3 hours in a row on two channels simultaneously and it worked fine.
