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.

THanks

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.

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.
