i have recently configured my digital tv card (KNC1 TV Station DVB-C+).
I was finally able to search and find channels. By the way, i am able to
find and see for example ARD HD. However, for strange reason, i cannot see simple ARD. The channel is found, i can select it, sometimes (!) i even can hear audio, but the video is just black. Nothing to see. This applies to some other
channel (but really only few), others are ok!
I have no idea, which problem this could be!
I would be glad about any help. Maybe some more details are required?
This unit has two DVB tuners, both can be seen using the supplied Hypermedia software, which is a bit basic.
I have GB-PVR working with one of the tuners which I have called TV1.
I created a new source called TV2 using the same device code, and scanned channels without any problem, however any attempt to record two programs on different multiplexes fails.
I also tried setting device number to 2, that gives no channels on a scan.
I must be doing something wrong somewhere. If anyone can please point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
There are quite a few test recordings shown in the logs.
Hi!
I have a problem with my TV-Card and Live-Tv!
I run the channelsearch and found ervery channel. I'm also abel to see the preview of each channel but when I tried to run the Liv-TV i got the message "No Tuners Available"!
I've been having a problem with failed recordings for the last couple of months. Recordings don't always fail, but when they do it seems to happen more frequently with back to back recordings. However, record season recordings fail sometimes. I usually schedule recordings from the guide search. I use the community skin, as well as, the tvrecordings plugin and also, the weather plugin. I tried removing all the plugins and the skin before, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm using gbpvr version 1.47 and I'll see if I'm able to attach my logs. Help.:eek:
Thanks in advance
Canada's Golden in 2010.
I've got a Compro videomate vista E900F running on windows home server and I'm trying to get it set up with gbpvr but i cant get past the configuration.
I tried searching but it looks like loads of people get the same error for various reasons so i thought I'd start a thread. I've had the card working perfectly on other programs and the tuningassistant find a few channels.
I've spent so long trying to find a program which works for this so i really hope you can help
I wrote some xbasic code and batch files to process mulitple ffmpeg 2 pass conversions. 3 uses 75-100 cpu time depending on the type of conversion.
xbasic code I had some printing going on but I commented that out you may want to use it to debug this if you choose.
Code:

Multipass ffmpeg batch file. I do preprocessing of the file with projectx. I pass a log file prefix one,two,three so that log files are kept separate.
I have created metadata using Metadata Grabber for my "Lost" recordings. Now I'd like to view this data (epsiode name, synopsis, etc) in Videos Library. I can't seem to find a way to do this.
Well, I got impatient with my last problem (no TV Guide data showing in TV Guide). So, I deleted GBPVR completely and reinstalled it from scratch. TV Guide is working now.
BUT, I have a handful of recorded TV shows from before I had trouble, and they do not show in GBPVR's list of recordings. Is there some way of manually adding them (or something) so I can access them from the GBPVR menu?
Thanks
