I was wondering if the GBPVR can support a external capture device via USB 2.0 . I have a Dazzle DVC101 capture device hooked up to my non dvr cable box. I can watch live programs but the recording software with capture device is horrible
Hi,
I recently added a PVR500 to my system which was equipped with just 1 pvr350. After some juggling I got it to work by switching the pvr350 to capture source #3 and the pvr500 to #1 and #2. Running xp sp3, cable, all analogue. v1.4.7, no plugins.
I just found out that my pvr500's recordings do not have any sound. At least, many recordings made the past days do not have sound, and when trying (timeshifting) I discovered the pvr350 is the only good one.
I am watching everything on hauppauge mvp's so the audio codec's on the computer should not be of any influence right?
I ran filtercheck, and checked logs for 'missing capture sources', a problem I read about. No help either. Cannot confirm unfortunately if audio recording ever worked. I do think so but I am not sure.
also tried the small utility to identify the capture source number, but that doesn't even see the pvr350, while that is the only one working correctly!
Any ideas what to do? Don't have much time tonight, but I am thinking to uninstall gbpvr, put wintv on it, check functioning, and then reinstalling gbpvr? But if there is a quick fix....
thanks in advance for any help!
Update: I got at least one of the pvr500 tuners to work under wintv7 software. It gives audio on all channels. Then, I added this tuner to GBPVR config, it did work! with audio. Stopped the recording, tried recording another channel: no sound.
So, once you change channels, it doesn't give sound anymore. This sounds like something I read about mythtv trouble with pvr500. But I don't know if I could use their solutions (if any) since that is Linux I think.
Too bad I have a double tuner card waiting to roll but it isn't picking up audio! the easiest of the both you would say....
i went in and checked, yes it was scheduled in the TV Guide (it was Red)......
Half and hour in, nothing! I tried canceling and re-recording, but still no dice.
Anyway, I used my other GBPVR machine to catch the last half an hour....
So I am wondering
1. why this happened - how do I avoid in the future
2. does anyone happen to have the full episode I could copy?! Fox do not repeat the show for some reason, they want you to watch the appaling "high def" online version
Hi, I am new to this technology but last week got everything going .... almost. I run a Hauppauge 1600 on an older PC, GBPVR 1.4.7, Schedule Direct EPG. Out here in the middle of nowhere we only get analog cable TV. My set up is pretty simple. I record movies to a 250 GB external HD, edit them in VideoReDo, then burn them to disc.
Everything was just dandy until I decided to record in high quality. Now the recordings stop at 4GB file size - or 1.34 min run time - which cuts off the end of the movies. I increased the post show padding time to ensure a full two hour recording time, but that didn't change anything. Still had movies stop at 4 GB.
I'm sure it's something dumb I did or didn't do but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello, I've been using GB for over one year now. Great program, great support forum. I really enjoy the program and comskip for pvr.
I currently have a problem that it seems no one else has had.
Recently our cable here has gone digital for all but local channels. . . I have my haupauge 2250 set to capture analog and dig channels (no STB). . .
Two recently digital channels I enjoy have certain shows where no audio is present. Other shows on same channels (E & FX) have full or partial audio (commentator but no main audio or visavera), but a few shows have no audio at all.
This is for recording only, as I've never gotten live tv to work with GB- analog or dig, ever. (the live tv is still curious to me but must be a simple software conflict since analog live tv has always worked in wintv.)
*These two channels (and the rest) come in fine using my TV w/ dig tuner. The TV is how I got the channels# for digital mapping in GB.
Please let me know if you have any help, ?, etc. I can attach any files, please let me know which. Thankyou very much, JH
I have a couple of hauppage capture cards and have managed to bend the blaster connector. Any idea if you can just buy a replacement blaster.......preferably with USB or bluetooth or something? (Second plug I've bent)
I planned on doing some program scheduling today and when I opened GBPVR there was no schedule displayed. The channels are in the left column, the dates and times are across the top, but, there is no program display.
Checked live TV and that displays properly.
I am using zap2it for the schedule and it appears to update correctly.
I don't know if my pending programs will work. I last recorded on April 27 and I have a few programs pending, but, I am unable to add more right now.
I did a fresh install of 1.4.7 with Win 7 64 bit and the Hauppauge HD-PVR. EPG, channel changing and video streaming seem to be working. However recording and LiveTv don't work.
Recording simply creates a 0 kb file. The HD-PVR never goes into recording mode.
LiveTV (with "use live preview" checked) displays a black window with no audio.
LiveTV (with "use live preview" unchecked) flashes some video then same black window and no audio. By changing the default 500 ms LivePreview pre-play delay to at least 5000 ms, video does appear normally. However when the channel is changed the set top box goes to the correct channel but LiveTV simply replays the old channel file it previously recorded. It will loop on this old file and eventually kick back to the Main Menu. The hard drive has 2 files: the first channel recording (a ts file which it looped on) and the second channel recording (an mpg file which it never displayed).
I'm using EVR and Microsoft decoders. The problem is the same if I use VMR9 or default decoders or Cyberlink decoders. I have installed the vcredist_x86 files and have re-registered the filters.
