I have been using GB-PVR with cable for some time now, and it has worked out great. Recently, I cancelled my cable and switched to an antenna. The problem is that I cannot see anything besides fuzz through my computer now. When I plug the antenna directly into the TV, I get many clear channels.
I updated the config to Internal Tuning -> Antenna. I am using schedulesdirect to receive channel information and I have updated that too. My capture card is Hauppauge PVR150, and I am using GBPVR 1.4.7.
Any thoughts as to how I can fix this? Thank you for your time!
I have many recordings that I rip on my laptop and copy over to my PVR. This has worked great for a long time. Recently the sound giving me problems so I started fiddling around with various settings until I discovered it was my external amplifier which was faulty. I bought a new amp, and now videos have very, very faint voice when played through GBPVR but sound fine when I play them through WMP. I'm guessing when I suspected it was a codec issue, I changed something I shouldn't have.

From Habey Products...has dual mini PCIE inside for either capture cards or wireless..
audio not the greatest, but apparently it has headers inside for the others..
[just use hdmi audio!]
it has a nice dual heatpipe architecture that should keep it fairly cool and it completely silent..truely fanless for a change..
4 sata ports inside, tho i'm not sure how you'd use them all...lol [external esata headers?]
but it is kinda roomie inside without bulky heatsinks..[inside at least]
no room inside for optical disk, but those are easy, just get a slim usb external and place it where you can load it..pc could remain hidden..
they have several other models, and other chipsets also.. i saw a tiny fit2pc sized box but it had no markings on it at all and barely any heatsink visible...can't find it's maker anywhere but i can ask where it's from..didn't even get warm..
well, just thought someone might wanna know...not too many out there are actually fanless..
I am using GBPVR 1.4.7 with a Hauppauge HVR 1600 card. I have basic cable which includes a mixture of analog and digital channels. The digital channels are clear QAM. I can see and record the analog channels.
I have added a second capture device and selected Hauppauge HVR-1600 (QAM) for the capture device. I scanned for the digital channels and they were found.
However, I cannot view or record a digital channel because they do not show in the guide. What must I do to view a digital channel, for example 110-1? What must I do to record a channel that does not appear in the guide?
Client is Dell 11z netbook, Win 7 home premium, wireless n
Server is XP sp3
Once I put them in the same workgroup, networking seems fine
Set the netbook as client, streaming in config/capture sources
tried both server name and IP for server
clicked ... for Database Share to get the gbpvr share (also used IP here)
gbpvr share is in c:\programfiles\devnz\gbpvr
I can read and write to the gbpvr share, movies play fine in w media player
The GBPVR Interface comes up, but nothing is connected. No TV Guide, Recordings shows "No shows ready to watch"
turned off all firewalls and anti-virus programs
logs from client and server attached
This sticky thread contains information about developing plugins for NextPVR.
I've updated this first post to collect together the sample plugins I've posted later in the thread.
- Test1.zip/Test2.zip use a framework similar to that used by GBPVR in the past, but only really exist to help users porting old plugins over to NextPVR. It's not recommended you use these in new plugins.
- Test3.zip shows a simple NextPVR plugin, in the style of many of the built in screens, with list of items and hidden menu bar at the top of the screen. It also shows how implement a popup, and a settings screen.
- TestRecorder.zip provide a skeleton recorder for those wanting to implement support for custom tuner types.
There is plenty of other useful discussion later in this thread, and in other threads posted in the developers forum, but if you need more info, or want help on getting started, just post and I'll point you in the right direction.
Well, bugger it. I misremebered that you dropped support for OSD via plugins in the pvrx2 interface. Is there no hope at all for adding it back? You obviously have the ability in code to do it, is it that hard to expose it to plugins?
I don't mean that in a negative way, it just seems like it should be relatively easy to allow a plugin to call a method to put up some text and an icon.
I used this info from the forum to create a batch file for my clients to start the server before GBPVR is loaded. I just recently rebuilt the server with a new motherboard and it seems that it is a little slower to load things than the old one and concenquently i am getting the red X's on my clients.
The simple fix is having the bat delay starting pvrx2.exe but i have not figured out what the wait command is
Can someone help. here is the basic file info i am looking to place the delay between echo server found (wait 5 seconds) then C:\Progra~1\devnz\GBPVR\PVRX2.exe
set start=0
set end=3
wol MACADDRESS
:ping
ping SERVER | find "Reply" > NULL
if errorlevel=1 goto loop
echo server found
C:\Progra~1\devnz\GBPVR\PVRX2.exe
exit
:loop
if %start%==%end% goto stop
set /a start=%start%+1
goto ping
Martin, I didn't know if this should be here or the plugin forum.
I'm not sure if this was always the case but I can't seem to get any volume control working on webradio. I tried changing the volume key mappings back to page up/down but that doesn't seem to have help. Is this a known limitation or is it just me?
