Hi, I'm having a problem getting HP USB Tuner to work with GB-PVR. This device is the same as the Haupaugge HVR-950Q but rebranded.
I installed gb-pvr 1.4.7 on my Windows XP SP3 PC. I tried selecting Haupaugge HVR-950Q from the list but it still doesn't work for me. When I am in the config window, I select the HVR-950Q, click on Map Digital Channels....., then an error pops up, GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA Device you have configured.
I've attached the filtercheck.log file, let me know what else you need.
Thank you!

hi - not really used npvr much but latest version seems to behave in the same way as the original release.
if i open a few video files, the memory usage of npvr.exe builds up until finally it runs out and i get an exception error.
could post logs, but they don't show much...
this a known issue? have seen it mentioned in a few posts...
cheers

Anyone else having problems with mc2xml? My OTA guide is not updating correctly, no show details for all the channels. I tried downloading mc2xml.exe again, server #3, emptying and updating, still no luck. i am using the same mc2xml for my cable channels and they are updating correctly. i get this message when updating in the config app:

Your epg source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the epg source settings and try again. Database disk image is malinformed.

Could anybody confirm (first hand if possible) that Egreat EG-M31C works with NPVR and mvpmcx2. I am looking at it as a replacement for MVP.

Hi,

Firstly really like the look of nPVR, however I don't have any analogue cards in the devices list, I have attached my Filter Log from GBPVR (the Leadtek works here), also I dont have analoguedevices.xml in my nPVR directory...should I?

Cheers

Hi.

NRecord is using 10% CPU ressources when it is simply idle -- i.e. not recording. See attachment. That doesn't seem right.

It's only slightly higher (10-12%) when recording.

What is needed to analyse this issue further?

I have downloaded and installed AC3Filter but it is unavailable on the Decoders screen of Settings. How do I make it available?

I was given this older PC and am able to successfully capture video
via MS Media Center into .dvr-ms files.

My question is - can I use GBPVR with this hardware? According to
the label on the PC case it has a "hardware encoder" but I can't figure
out what model this might be. I came across a reference to:

Television
TV tuner card (supports Media Center MS-DVR, NTSC format and stereo sound, does not support HDTV)(HAUPPAGE M922)

but no model M922 appears under the GBPVR configuration.

Apart from opening the case, is there a way to figure out the capture hardware model?

I have been poking around the new database structure to update guidePlus and vidImport.

One thing they both do is a query on the database to get a list of upcoming or previous recordings that are TV series - for renaming and adding extra EPG info etc.

This was a very simple query before - Just look at recordings joined with the epg where the unique_ID starts with EP (at least with schedules direct data)

Now already recorded shows save their data in a field embedded in XML and these recordings have lost their unique IDs and a host of other data, so I would have to pull the epg_ID out of the XML link it the EPG table and hope that it is still in the there, then check if it is a series.

So, I guess my wish for this task is to see the unique program ID saved as a field for scheduled_recordings (which would also allow easily allow not recording dups again as well).

But in general it begs the question why so stingy with fields. If you don't want a titles data in the EPG after its time has passed why not just another table (completed_events/scheduled_events?) with a full set of fields that the scheduled_recordings could link to. Just my two cents but it seems the stored XML offers little in the way of advantage and limits what the database can do.

Thanks for all your effort and the new toy BTW!!

Hi

I've been using GB-PVR for quite a few years and it has been working well. But I bave been longing to move to nPVR for some time now, it is nice and more modern. Also looking forward to the .ts comskip/skipping advantages.

BUT, and this is a big but. Something must be wrong with my setup since most of the time (yes, it was working yesterday) nPVR cannot acces my two tuners.
Setup:
Windows XP SP3
2xFloppyDTV DVB-C cards with CA-module
nPVR 1.5.31 (with patches installed with Martins installer)
One NMT server started

As I said I have had GB-PVR installed (and it is still installed but had the Recording Service set to manual) but I am running nPVR right now. GB-PVR has always been able to access my cards and yesterday nPVR also had access to them and successfully recorded a show we watched on our A-110. Then I had forgotten about a backup script that shuts down the Recordingservice, does a RAR-file of the entire devnz to another drive just in case and then starts the Recordingservice (have been doing this every sunday night for a year).
And after the GB-PVR Recordingservice started I could not access the TV-cards.

I have tried to reboot the PC, I de-actived and activated the cards in Computer Manager and also in nPVR. But no success.
I even shut the system down completely and powered it up but no success, I only get a Device failed to start...

Any guess to where I should look?
I attach the logs from my last try (just after i did a cold boot of the system with GB-PVR recording Service set to disable).
