Since there is no reaction in Hardware subforum, I am posting my question here.

I am in process of rebuilding my HTPC. Two cards I am currently looking are Avermedia AVerTV Digi Super 007 and Gigabyte GT-P8000. The price are similar.
Basically, I heard both are good and I won't make an mistake whichever I buy.
But, my question here is: which one goes along better with GBPVR (i.e. PVRX2)?
Whose remote is more useful/easy to use either with GBPVR or with other software? Can they (remotes) be customized via LM Remote KeyMap or similar software?
Thanks!

Hi, all,

I've just got a Hauppauge HVR 1950 external USB tuner. I was set to use it on Windows Media Center (basically by default, as I already own it), until I found out that the IR blaster function of the HVR 1950 won't work on MCE - you need to buy a separate Windows Media Center certified remote. Confirmed it during the install... the video portion works fine, but can't proceed past the IR Blaster setup screen.

Enough of that noise.

I see that GB-PVR supports the Hauppauge series quite well. Will the IR Blaster (using the Hauppauge remote and IR Blaster, which plugs directly into the external Hauppauge USB box) work with GB-PVR?

The screenshots for GB-PVR look really impressive!!

Sorry, if there are thread about this. I cant it find anyway. I have problem with dual audio mkv and avi files. How I can choose which audio plays? Gbpvr is 1.4.7. and OS Win XP.

Hi guys,
New to the forums and to using the software.

About 2 week ago, I tried using the software and I loved it. It worked fine with watching live TV and recording.

Anyways, due to other system issues, I formatted my PC and reinstalled everything.

Now, whenever I try to watch live TV, the software crashes with the error: "PVRX2 has stopped working".

I read somewhere that it is probably decoder related, all my decoders are set to system default, as they were previously.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how I can overcome this?
I really hate using the package that came with my card as GBPVR is so much better.

I apologise if this has been covered before, but I did try searching and was unable to find enlightenment.

Cheers
Kev

P.S
System is Vista 32bit
Tuner card is a no-name brand bought from ebay. Config Detects it as "Easy TV DVB-T"
Also, I do not have any codec packs installed as I usually use VLC media player. Only codec pack installed is the TVersity codec pack which is used to transcode movies from my PC to my Xbox 360.
Could that have anything to do with it?

I am not sure which logs to include so I have just included everything from my logs folder.

If you need anymore info, please let me know

Thanks

I have a Terratec H7 USB tuner which i manually configured as this and it works

[Terratec H7 DVB-T]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=TerraTec H7 Digital Tuner (DVB-T)
FILTER_CAPTURE=TerraTec H7 Digital Capture (DVB-T)
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

I can do a scan on all my channels and they show up correctly... BUT! they are all encrypted There is one channel i'm able to see, which is the only unencrypted channel, but for the rest i just see the this channel is currently encrypted message.

The tuner is working fine, if i use the Terratec Home Cinema program i can watch all the channels without problem.

I tried with and without MDAPI filter, no difference. No plugins though since i don't really know what this filter is all about.

Attached is my pvrx2.exe-native.log

OK, I screwed something up, not sure what, but something.

I attempted to install the latest EWA (in an attempt to get web admin working). I thought that I followed the instructions correctly, but must not have. So, I go to start config and I get a window attempting to install something. It works through several progress windows and then config starts. The problem is that this happens every time I start config. So, I thought I would be slick and attempt a repair installation. The problem is that the repair install will begin to repair the web directory, gets close to the end and then rolls back the repair. I even attempted to completely delete the contents of the web folder to allow the repair installation to work all of the way through. Unfortunately, the same thing still occurs. So, what did I do and can I fix it without completely reinstalling GBPVR?

I have the 1.4.7 installed and attempted to install build 83 of EWA.

So, has anyone got comskip to work with NZ Freeview ts files?

Hi. quick question:

I just upgraded from windows XP (32bit) to windows 7 (64bit). I installed all new drivers and GBPVR v1.4.7

All seems to be working well with main program. However, I have run into the following problem:

I have rectracker.exe in my postprocessing.bat file and when it runs I get a weird error.

The attached picture show the error in an MSdos window. After looking around on the internet, it appears that this program is not running in 32bit mode (ie. no "*32" after the program in the Task Manager). I have been trying to figure out how to get this program to run in 32bit mode thinking that this is the problem.

In addition, PriorityRecordings.exe did the same thing...

I suspect this is a windows 7 or 64bit thing, but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions regarding how to get these programs to run in 32bit mode?

I have already tried using the "Compatibility" mode under the files properties and tried running in administrator mode.

Again, thank you for any help you can provide.

When troubleshooting problem recordings, etc., it is extremely helpful to know which tuner was being used. Therefore, I would love it if GBPVR would record the tuner ID somewhere (either in the database or even in a text/log file).

Also, it would be helpful if the GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log file's "checking signal stats" lines identified which tuner the stats correspond to.

I've compiled my own copy of ffmpeg-0.5. It is twice as fast as my earlier version. I was only getting 60fps converting 1080i to 720p but now am getting over 120fps. This is a experimental build. It has xvid, libmp3lame, libx264, faac built in. It gets avcodec alignment errors when ran but still works. I'm going to recompile it with gcc version 4.2 or higher to get rid of the errors. It uses pthreads instead of win32 threads. I think that is why it is faster. Xvid is really slow on my machine only giving about 16fps. I'll stick with 2 pass mpeg4 conversion.

I'll put it into production tonight to work on a few files.
