For a few months, an occasional program (one in particular) has appeared twice in the recordings list. This appears to be related to the fact that the series is airing on two stations, with the listing from one being in small letters, and the listing from the other being in capitals. When I record the "small letter" version, it appears twice; once with the title in small letters, and once in capitals.
In addition, however: that program sometimes appears a second time in my list with a completely different program name. Often, the date assigned to it is far in the future.
In both cases, the recording is not occurring twice; there is just a second link to it from a second name. The situation has so far been a fairly minor annoyance, but I can see where those "future recordings" might be skipped if left too long.
I don't want to admit the program in question, especially to Sub, but I will if I have to.
Firstly, I have a working motorola channel changer executable for the comcast motorola boxes with a serial plug. Anyone need it, email me.
On to my problems...
I have the HVR-950q, it's installed using the direct.ini tweak which gives me the HVR-950q analog option. I originally installed this to tune directly through the gadget and everything worked, but I need to change the channels on my cable box. So now its Composite, External tuner.
If I record, it will create the directory but never store a file. I've installed the MCE Soft encoder, but it doesn't show up in filter show. The error I'm seeing is: FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: MainConcept (MCE) MPEG Encoder
I've installed the soft encoder from hauppage, I've also installed the MCE Driver. I don't see these in filter show. Any ideas? Will graphrecorder fix this?
Thanks

I installed the Hauppauge WinTV Nova HD S2 and installed all drivers!
When i press on "Map digital channels to EPG channels" the new window opens and i get a error message "GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly, and not already in use."
High drive temps are a frequent cause of data loss and rising temps can warn of potential failure before it happens.
So, here's a little util i made to get drive temperatures from the drive's temperature probe smart data..
Also works over your network!..
Many features still to add, but it works great so far..a bit slow if you have lots of empty usb mem card slots..
I've made it semi-scriptable, so you could make it a early warning system..
Limitations: can't get usb drive smart data nor raid nor removables..only ata/ide/scsi/sata drives..
S.M.A.R.T. must be working and enabled on the drive..it gets all drive's data using wmi..not all drives give out good smart data in same place..
that said, it works on every smart drive i have..
to use:
smart.exe [shows local drives temps + dialog]
smart.exe . n [shows local drives temp without poppping up dialog, for scripts]
smart.exe computer n [shows "computer"'s drive's temps]
smart.exe /? shows help and usage for batch files.
for batch files:
for /f ""usebackq"" %%f in (`smart.exe . n`) do if %%f GTR 48 echo WARNING! drive is over 48 degrees!
i'll be adding more features like email warnings, audible/voice warnings, constant monitoring option..etc.. maybe even a plugin for status screens.. [maybe even a cpu temp too]
don't check too often, it does add a little bit of drive access, tho curiously, mostly to get list of drives and pnpid's..so i'll be caching those in future..
so then it'll be easy on the drive and able to check more often without worry..[for always on checking with alarms]
for now use at least a minute delay between attempts and it should be fine..
well, it's rough but it works...let me know if any problems..
After about three months of relatively trouble-free performance, the DVD player has stopped working. It only shows me a black screen. This is obviously a codec problem, but I have been steadfastly avoiding installing anything, and I mean anything, for this very reason.
I don't really know where to start with this. I am using the ATI MPEG decoder, which is working beautifully otherwise. Is there any point in posting logs?
Before anyone suggestes it, the SAF pack does not work for me, as I need a couple of the codecs that break it down.
The recent messages about mp3's in the " Best client / media extender" thread under hardware got me thinking about this again & I can't come up with an answer unfortunately.
We have had messages about NMT's going slow in the past & we have sorted a few problems out for users, but I am thinking for every message posted there are others with the same symptoms that never post.
Recently I noticed I was having problems with my A-100 not performing correctly & as I had also been having problems with my HDD's in the server I put it down to a server problem but after having to do something on the MVP I thought s@#$ the MVP is working better than the NMT (which I know from the past it doesn't) so I went hunting for problems with the NMT to find somehow a staple had been pushed through the network cable running to it (I blame the dog). A new network cable run under the floor this time & it is back up & running rocket speed in comparison to how it was running, it must have deteriorated over a period of time as I hadn't really noticed how bad it was. This is just an example of something not working right & I am sure there are other things that can cause them not to preform correctly.
I decided to install NMTinstall on a second pc which is slowly becoming my main media center pc. It's been working nearly flawless on 1 pc for almost a year.
I've got most things working so I can use the PCH to view my files on the pc but when trying to access mvprmc, I get the message "the share folder no longer exist" (not good English, is it?). I'm not sure what I overlooked as the dummies guide was pretty good. I think my firewall is set correctly and I've gone over things a few times but as it's been almost a year since I set things up on pc #1, I can't remember if I did anything different this time.
Does this error message give anyone a hint as to what my problem is?
Thanks
I'm trying to figure out how I will set my SchedulesDirect lineups for the best result in GB-PVR, and lowest load on SD servers.
I noticed the default EPG download days in GB-PVR is only 4 days. My Mythbox downloads up to 14 days if the EPG is empty, and if it is already full, it downloads only tomorrow (to catch last minute changes) and the 14th day from now, to reduce the load on the SD servers. Does GB-PVR do this also? If not, and it is downloading the whole schedule every day, should I consider doing fewer days than 14, hopefully at least 7?
Does GB-PVR download a lineup you are using on more than one capture device only once from SD, then copy the lineup locally into each capture device? Or does it download the lineup separately for each capture device no matter what? Since I have a HVR-2250, I will have 4 capture devices - 2 digital tuners and 2 analog tuners. I was hoping to reuse the analog lineup, which is almost the same as the digital lineup, to prevent the SD servers from getting hit 4 times, versus only once.
So, after resolving all of my zprocess problems six months ago, I have purchased a new computer with windows 7 (64 bit) and I am so far unable to get zprocess working on this machine. I followed the instructions on the wiki, and attempted to install the vb6 runtime files. Perhaps this was a mistake, as the microsoft page doesn't list 7 as a supported OS. Initially, when I tried to run zprocess, I was getting errors that certain .osx files weren't found. I found a suggestion on the web to copy them from the system32 folder to the sysWOW64 folder and run regsvr to register them. This seemed to work as the error no longer occurred and I was able to install zprocess. Any attempt to transcode a file, however, leads to a "runtime error 53, file not found" error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
Only thing happening to this dedicated gbpvr server are windows updates.
When going to TVguide, it swings a .net error on the screen. Recordings screen works.
Looking at the logs it says i'm missing some skins? but I did not remove anything. The skins it refers to ARE missing.
Logs attached. the nettxt.txt file is a copy of the .net JIT error that appeared on screen.
If an uninstall / reinstall is suggested, how to I save my scheduled recordings, recordings DB, etc just keep the dump file?
[maybe even a cpu temp too]
