I was trying to get audio to work and not having much success when I did something that seems to be causing a manual record of one channel to automatically start. I cannot seem to get it to stop. I am not even sure what to search the forum for at this point.
Now when I start PVRX2 it crashes. Win7 is REAL nice about telling me that it is trying to resolve the problem just before it tells me to exit program.
Related issues - Recordings are display black w/o sound in PVRX2, however they appear to be fine when played elsewhere.
Logs are attached.
Thanks in advance for your help......

I have an issue I have been trying to figure out but I am not familiar enough yet with the logs to diagnose.
When pulling up live TV from either the guide or just the 'Live TV' menu option TV will either play fine, play a 3-10 seconds and kick me back to the menu or play about 30 seconds and then kick me back to the menu. I have no idea why this is and I haven't been able to pick out a pattern.
I have a HDHomeRun attached to a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Windows 7 client.
it would be nice to make the overall gbpvr interface more functional with a touch screen. implementing up/down/left/right buttons (could be invisible hot areas or arrows as in the video library) and menu navigation (home), for example.
sometimes i just don't want to turn on the dlp or my desktop (to connect to the htpc via vnc) or hold the keyboard in order use gbpvr for just a couple of minutes. that's the intended use of the ahanix 7" touchscreen.
Hi!
I am in process of rebuilding my HTPC. Two cards I am currently looking are Avermedia AVerTV Digi Super 007 and Gigabyte GT-P8000. Price is 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!
I am planning to set up GB-PVR for my parents. Personally I've been running MythTV for several years, but it is more than I want to support for them.
I've read the wiki and some of this forum. I'd like to know if I have the right impression on the best capture cards for GB-PVR. I want a capture card that is as rock solid as you can get, supports ClearQAM and analog, and is as affordable as possible. I only need 1 tuner for now, and I have PCI, PCI-e, and USB inputs available.
It seems the Hauppauge HVR-2250 is the gold standard. The HVR-1950 also looked interesting. I was initially leaning towards the HVR-1600, until I discovered it has poor ClearQAM sensitivity for many. I also saw the HVR-1800, but I don't know where it fits in all of this. Does anyone have thoughts on these, or other capture devices you may feel are better?
I was initially conflicted between MediaPortal and GB-PVR. After researching, it seems most people believe GB-PVR is more robust, and the support for media extenders really encouraged me to go with it. Hopefully the PCH A-200 will be supported soon, otherwise I guess I'll have to get an old A-100 for them.
Thanks to all the developers. It sounds like this is more polished than MythTV and will set up relatively easily.
I have a MSI TV@nywhere Satellite II DVB-S2 card.
I followed the installation guide I found in this forum (from Systemshark), but I can't get it to work.
In the configuration I checked the box "Only show de ices detected in this machine", there I can select the Twinhan AD-SP300 and the Technisat SkyStar HD2 Card.
I have a Diseqc Switch with the satellite Astra (19.2) on SimpleA and Hotbird (13.0) on SimpleB.
At the end I press "EPG mapping", but then I get an error:
"GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly, and not already in use."
Then I tried to make a new entry in the BDS.ini:
[eigene Karte]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
FILTER_TUNER=DTV-DVB Mantis DVBS BDA Receiver
FILTER_CAPTURE=DTV-DVB Mantis DVBS Caputre BDA Receiver
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
(in the FILTER_CAPTURE Section ist a spelling mistake, but the entry in Graphedit "BDA REceiver Components" shows exactly that spelling! Obviously a mistake in the driver...)
With that setting I get the new card "eigene Karte". Wehn I set it up and press EPG mapping, the error ist gone. The scan runs, but nothing is found (0% signal and 0% quality).
Maybe I have the wrong settings in the LNB part? I can't find the Hotbird and for Astra there are several entries. (Would be helpful if the position was in the list as well.)
Could anyone help me by giving a hint? Do you need the filterlog?
I couldn't get mediaportal to work as well (always "couldn't start graph").
btw: The Satellite Card works with the program supplied by the manufacturer.
My media center is built with Windows 7 and an onboard ATI HD4200. It works very well, but once in a while I experience a "funny" thing
about screen size. If I switch the media center on first(and wait untill it is up and running), and then afterwards turns on the TV and switches to the correct HDMI channel on the TV, it happens that the Windows desktop switches to the right resolution(i can hear the "connect-a-usb-device-sound") but gbpvr remains in a 4:3 solution.
So I can see some of the Windows desktop right to gbpvr, though I run gbpvr in full screen(?). Gbpvr is the active application and I then have to close gbpvr and open it again to get gbpvr to fill the hole screen.
It is not very good for the WAF!
I have set the desired resolution in the ATI control panel, but it seems that it is first used when it detects a screen(tv) on the HDMI-port.
I have four configured tuners working OK. I have connected an external source (dish receiver) through one tuner.
I manually created a new (5th) capture source and called it 'Composite'. I then manually added a channel called 'Composite' to each of the 4 capture sources.
The composite channel is now appearing in live tv with the rest. However, its not linked to or receiving any signal from my dish receiver. What could be the problem?
There are a couple stations that I have in my RadioTime presets, but I can't seem to find in the RadioTime listsings under the WebRadio plugin.
It seems that both (WPHT & KYW) are owned by CBS radio - are those stations not available? I can listen to them via Media Center...
I'm not sure how the plugin pulls data to get station listings, so it could be that those stations aren't compatible somehow.
One other question - how do I set my local area for the plugin? It seems the "local" stations are for Baltimore - I live between Atlantic City & Philadelphia...
