I am probably just having some horrible search-fu right now, but I looked everywhere and can't find a solution to my problem.

I just installed an NMT in place of a MVP. GBPVR starts up just fine, but the display is HUGE! The display is all out of proportion (background image vs. text vs. date) and is massive like a large print book or something similar. The menu works just fine with the MVP, but not the NMT. I have played around with the settings in the NMT Setup, TV section such as Zoom and can't fix it. I have tried the blue skin and it does the same thing.

Any ideas? (I am sure it is probably something simple, but my brains have left me for the evening. )

I have installed successfully the GBPVR 1.4.7 with my Hauppauge HVR 1600 with xmltv plugin.

I have the sound and the EPG but I got no image/video :mad:

I have try different setting with the PVRX2.exe Video Renderer with no result

Is there something that I may have missed ?

Thanks for help

It seems like I have had issues with recording programs on occasion. It is my hardware's fault, not GBPVR's. I have not been able to figure out the source, but I suspect it is reception related.

I was hoping there could be more ways GBPVR tries to record a program when it fails for whatever reason. It could be as simple as a log message that says "program not recording" so I could be searching for the string to take some action. It could be as complex as GBPVR trying a different tuner or initiating a restart. It could even be something in the config file that says:

<ProgramnotRecording>1</ProgramnotRecording>

where 0=do nothing (default behavior), 1=reboot, 2=retry with next tuner in config, 3=popup message, etc.

I am sure everyone will say "fix your HW" and I am working on it, but it would also be nice if the recording behavior were more able to handle issues.

I have one HVR 2250 installed and wil lbe replacing my 1600 with a nother 2250 does the cards need to be set up as below

first card capture source
2250 1 - device 1
2250 1 - device 2

Second Card capute source
2250 2 - device 3
2250 2 - device 4

or should each card be 1,2

Thanks

Dear all,

sorry if I'm missing stuff I could have found on threads but couldn't! Also apologies for rambling post:

Backed up config.xml!!!

Followed Dummies Guide to install.

A110 (no USB or internal HDD)

Initial changes to PCH:

Setup running as Composite PAL (connected by S-Video) in 4:3

Firmware :01-17-091202-15-POP-403-000
Kernel v :15-POP

NMT install selected all options apart from install GBPVR.

After install showing no errors found new mvpmc share in default path wasn't shared and couldn't share because my mvpmc share for mvpmc containing dongle.bin (for MVP's) was in different location. Copied this dongle.bin over to new mvpmc folder, deleted old mvpmc folder and enabled share on new folder. (Checked MVP's still booting, OK).

Then selected Network Browser from Media Source and navigated to mvpmc share on Media Server and selected. Blue button got me to GB-PVR.html. Selected this giving me 3 options. Selected 2nd option GBPVR via network browser.

This loaded GB-PVR with Mayhem skin (sort of, more later).

Used power button to get to NMT Menu. Went to setup screen then Network Share and browsed for mvpmc share, added as a configured share.

So now from boot up I have this:



Then selection 4th option with blue button gives me 1 option of GBPVR.html to select, when done I get this



from which I select the 1st option.

Which gives me GB-PVR.

Which unfortunately looks like this



With strange left hand sided vertical artifact break up on menu.

I just wanted to make sure I had all the other steps correct before finding out why it is not displaying correctly. Unless of course I've missed a post entirely! But being a 'newbie' to whole NMT thing..........

Cheers

Hi, is there anyone on here that can help me get my GB-PVR up and running? As far as I know, I have it setup correctly but In can't get it to bring up the TV guide or live TV. When I click either one of those 2 functions nothing happens. All other functions seem to work fine. I will be using a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 in ATSC/clear QAM mode only. Also my channels seem to be mapped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

24 days to go to the start of DSO here in the West of England - and I have just found that we will be now doing it in 3 stages.
This means that the ini spreadsheet made by Graham has channel info that will only be used after Autumn 2011 (not his fault - only published by ofcom on Feb 9th 2010 & not yet updated on http://www.ukfree.tv)

The dates are as follows:-
Stage 1: 24th March 2010 - Channels 55,56,61,62,65,67
Stage 2: 7th April 2010 - Channels 54,56,58(HD),59,61,62
Stage 3: Autumn 2011 - Channels 48,52,54,56,58(HD),61

You will have to use 'explicitly scan DVB-T Offset frequencies' setting on the Misc tab for Stage 2

I have made an ini file for each stage put them in BDA/DVB-T folder.
In Config under capture sources edit they will be listed as "Southern England after DSO"
"Mendip Stage 1" etc.

Hope they are of help to somebody

I've had zProcess working well for quite awhile now, no real complaints except the odd restart required. I've recently set up a Windows Home Server on a computer separate from my GBPVR machine. When I moved my divX files over to the WHS shared Videos folder, and updated my GBPVR config with the path, my mediaMVP wasn't able to find the shared Video folder. After scouring the forums, I found the suggestion that I had to set the service to log on as the same account and password as the WHS machine, and that seemingly fixed it, I was now able to find the folder and view all the video files. But now the videos won't play through the mediaMVP. Changing the service to use a different login, means that it is no longer set to interact with the desktop, which I think zProcess needs.

My immediate thought is I will have to merge these two machines together into one, install GBPVR on the WHS computer, and move the TV card there, but I'm not sure I want to do that yet, although I've noticed folks have had success doing this.

Any suggestions for allowing mediaMVP and zProcess on the GBPVR computer work with WHS shared folders, that are on another computer on the network?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Can anyone tell me from this log why the recording did not complete? The program showed "Ready" but there was no file so the only option was delete. Why would the pins not connect in the last log message? At the time I was able to watch the show live but not record it. I do not use live preview mode. Full logs attached.

My impression is that EVR renderer is necessary to get smooth playback of HD material in Windows 7 and Vista. Unfortunately it does not support cropping to remove black borders on letterboxed SD material, which plays nicely in VMR9.

It would be nice if one could set different renderers for HD and SD material in GBPVR.
