How do I activate ffmpeg to automaticaliy convert MPG video to AVI format in GbPVR. I Get the MPG file when recording but the codecs do not include Xvid and the file is not converted automatically to AVI format. Also some times only records less than 30 minutes?

I added another HDHRun to help get rid of a few conflicts that have arisen in the recording schedule over the past few weeks.

I deleted my season recordings for CSI, Private Practice, 30 Rock, Fringe and The office. These all run from 9:00-10:00.

Mapping the shows to their channel and pid (i think) I get the following breakdown:

71-1622 Private Practice
71-1630 The Office, 30 Rock
72-1624 CSI
73-1626 Fringe

I scheduled Fringe - A-ok
I scheduled CSI - A-ok
Tried to schedule the other ones - Private Practice, The Office and 30 Rock and get a conflict

I don't think that should be happening since I have 3 Tuners available ( I am using the 4th for development work).

Am I correct in my thinking?

Is there a log or something I can post that would show why there is a conflict?

Ok...added a second HDHRun tunner to my network, ran the HDHRun setup and it updated the GBPVR BDA file with the info for the two new tunners.

When I run the channel scan GBPVR finds nothing. :confused:

Logs attached.

Hi

I wanted to use gbpvr to stream TV to my Popcorn Hour but am having problems. I have a Compro 850F tv card which is recognised as a Compro 900 by gbpvr which I think is fine (driver the same for windows for both) and I am running win7 x64. However whenever I scan I don't pick up any channels at all (and I get 63+ in media center). Any clues where I'm going wrong??

Hi
Sorry but I have tried to find the answer in older post but couldn't.
I am running v1.4.7 on XP Pro and have a NVIDIA Quadro FX560 video card.
NOVA T 500 tuner card

I can see all my channels in Live TV but none have any sound.

I have also got CyberLink PowerCinema 5.1 that is the HD edition with AAC+ and when I use that I get sound on all channels but none on any recorded TV.

It will most likely be something stupid and simple but I cannot see it right now.

So any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Richard

Has anyone got comskip working well for NZ TV? I experimented with it briefly a couple of years ago but didn't put it back on after a rebuild.

Not sure what they do in other countries, but TVNZ seems to be pretty tricky with when they play their logo at the end of an ad-break and other things they do, seemingly to make this kind of thing pretty challenging. Would be great if it worked though.

Greetings, I have bought a second hand HP Pavilion Slimline PC with Vista premium and have tried to get GBPVR to run on it. I can get the epg loaded, and listen to radio, and record a program (but not replay it), and cannot get Live tv. I have spent considerable time adding dongles (it says the default dongle is incompatible with Vista) and generally playing, but still no live tv. Most of the forum posts are in a language I do not follow too well, as I am not that well versed in the intricacies and depths of computing as spoken, so if you reply, can you please couch it in laymans terms. I dare ask if the Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1200 should do the job, even although it is not listed on your list. The list goes from 1100 straight to 1300, so hope that 1200 is not a lone one that does not work. The software that may be relevant says Hauppauge MCE XP/Vista Software Encoder (2.0.25180).
Any help would be most welcome. Thanks.
PS I am using version 1.1.7

Hi There,

I am trying to get my brand new PCTV Dual Sat pro PCI (4000i) card to work with most up to date version of gbpvr - I have installed the Visual C++ redistributable too.

I am using a brand new XP sp3 /Dell Optiplex 320 PC installation to test out this card.
The utilites that come with the card work fine (The card works well with the bundled TVCenter application (6.3.0.584) and I can browse for channels etc using
Windows device manager finds the cards and has the manufacturer's driver installed on it.

When the config is run the utility cannot find the card.

I have been looking around the forum for a while and cannot see an answer.

I am quite prepared to send this card back to manufacturer and purchase whatever card(s) you recommend - I would like at least 2 Satelite inputs if possible.

Can you help?

I have attached configs for your information.

Kind Regards

I can play live TV fine.
The TV guide it up to date
But when I record, the directory is created, and the file just sits at 0 bytes.

I recently rebuilt my system, and have just reconfigured / copied my setup from the old one.

I have attached my logs.

Thanks,
Jamie

Just recently GB-PVR will suddenly send up a Windows error message and need to close. It usually happens after about 5 minutes from starting the program. I've left it idle just to make sure it's not something I'm doing at the time to kill it but it still sends an error. I also tested it by clicking on a few plugins but they seem fine. The weather2 plugin however sent an error immediately. No major changes have been made to the system (either by software or hardware) or anything added in terms of plugins. I'm not really sure what to look for in the logs so they are attached. I did notice an error message in the log that mentioned a database was locked but not sure what that implies to. If anyone can make a diagnosis from the logs I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your help.
