I've used the MVP with GBPVR for quite awhile and have been quite satisfied. I'm not sure what happened, but recently the MVP was stuck on the "Connecting" screen and wouldn't load GBPVR.
I've tried:
- powering off the MVP and restarting. It cycles through the all the steps as usual (checking ethernet connectivity, etc), then gets stuck at the "Loading Application" screen.
- I reloaded GBPVR on the PC server, no luck
- I checked other GBPVR stuff, like web access, and everything at the PC seems to be working fine, it is recording shows and I can look at stuff through the web interface on the home LAN. I can stream through the web interface.
- I stopped the GBPVR service, and started the 3 hauppauge services. I then restarted the MVP. The old hauppauge mediaMVP interface loads and works, so connectivity doesn't appear to be an issue.
Does anyone have suggestions as to what else I can check, or which logs I could post? Router settings perhaps? The only thing I've recently done is add a Windows Home Server on the network but that is a separate machine.
Hi, I am having a problem with audio on FreeviewHD (NZ).
If i start any channel (excluding AC3 stream of TV3) there is no audio. If i then switch to TV3 the only audio is weird beeps.
However if the AC3 stream of TV3 is opened first all channels have fully working audio.
The 3 Audio options in the advanced codec section all have ArcSoft Audio Decoder listed as it came with my tuner (WinTV Ministick HD).
Any advice on how to get the audio working properly?
it seems that the ffdshow raw video filter is not inserted into the graph when playing back .ts recordings created with the built in TS Mux, both for sd and hd recordings. However, when recording to .mpg using the CyberLink mux for example, ffdshow postprocessing is enabled on playback.
I've attached the pvrx2 native logs that were created during playback of a .ts sd- and hd-recording (no ffdshow raw video filter) and the playback of a .mpg-recording (ffdshow post processing enabled).
Is there something that I could do to enable postprocessing on .ts-file, too?
New system, Win XP Pro w/ PCH A100 and GBPVR 1.4.7
I feel like a complete nimrod. Maybe because it's late and I'm tired, but I just can't get over this hurdle.
The PCH powers up and I can browse the network. I see the Work Group (select it), can see the PVR-PC (select it), but the PCH says "no content found on server"
I ran NMTInstall and got the latest files. Simple File Sharing is enabled, as is the Guest Account, and the MVPMC, GBPVR, and media library folders are all shared. I'm stumped.
I've got a Dvico Fusion HDTV5 Lite card I'm trying to get running in GB-PVR on standard (not HRC) clear QAM cable. I have installed the Dvico drivers and TV software. The card receives analog and clear QAM channels fine in the Dvico app.
So in GB-PVR "Edit Recording Source" I selected "Digital Recording Plugin", SchedulesDirect", "No Channel Changer Required". I successfully imported my SchedulesDirect lineup. When I try to "Map digital channels to EPG channels", GB-PVR scans through all 135 channels and finds nothing. If I exit out and "show status" with the tray icon, it says the card is "sleeping".
Under the settings for Recording Source, the "Digital Source Configuration" menu, I selected only show devices detected in this machine, "Fusion HDTV5 Lite (QAM)", "Device Number 1", it shows Type:ATSC, "All Countries", "Default Cable Frequencies", everything else is greyed out.
When this didn't work, I reviewed the logs, and noticed that the card had 7 identified tuning spaces, 1 and 2 being analog, 3 and 4 being digital I think. So I tried setting the device number from 2-7 also. All of those device numbers caused GB-PVR to report it was unable to open the card. I did verify that I completely shut down the Dvico software, and even restarted the computer, just in case the Dvico software was somehow locking the card from GB-PVR. That also didn't change anything.
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? Or do the Dvico cards not work with GB-PVR?

I have been working on modding my blue skin and was wondering how do I draw a box. I wanted to draw a single box that would go behind the main menu items. I know that there is the ability to have boxes around each item in the list but I wanted just one large one for the whole list.
So far I have tried adding a placement in the menu skin and composit images in the menu skin as well as the baseskin. but I have had no luck. What am I doing wrong?
I am hoping that one of you may have solved this problem, which is probably unique to HTPCs. When a recording (or any scheduled task) wakes the system, the monitor remains in powersave mode. support.microsoft.com/kb/283270 acknowledges that this is an FAQ to Microsoft, but they do not provide a solution; there merely state that this is "by design".
My problem is that I am trying to use graphrecorder to launch a task that will perform video capture. I want to do this automatically, like any other recording. Unfortunately, since the resume is automatic, the screen stays off and the capture fails. I have tried to simulate keypresses and mouse clicks at the start of my script, but these do not activate the screen the way that my actuail keyboard and mouse do.
I'm hoping the somebody knows of a program or command that I can launch at the start of my script, to switch the screen back on.
