Hi, I am not sure if GBPVR can be used with my hardware setup.
I have connected (via Composite video cables) my HD set-top-box to my PC (Win 7 64-bit) via a VHS to DVD converter made by GadgetGeek, connected to a USB port. Through that connection I can view live TV using the supplied s/w, or VirtualDub, or VLC, all of which recognise the capture device (shows up on the config panel as USB 2863 device for video and WDM 2863 for audio). TV tuning is handled by the set-top-box, the capture device is just that, a capture device that accepts whatever the composite cables feed, either a VCR output or a set-top-box output.
My question is: can I configure GBPVR (and how??) to detect the capture device and use GBPVR features none of the above s/w has?
Any help would be most welcome.
Many thanks
George
I have been pulling my hair out for the last hour trying to figure out how to get my channels recognized. I got my correct EPG list from SchedulesDirect and have followed whurlston's guide to this roadblock. I'm running on Win7 x64 with an Avermedia Duet A188 tuner.
PVRX2 crashes, not always, but most of the time when I stop a playback of a recording. I can restart PVRX2 right away and it works just fine. If I let it run to the end of the recording I don't think it crashes, but I usually end the playback before I reach the end so my sample size is much lower. I don't see this same behavior in other videos, just recordings. They are the microsoft recorded TV show format, and I believe I have the most recent updates on windows (so assume the most recent codex?)
I guess I should post logs, but to tell the truth, I'm not sure what I should provide.
I am running on Win7 x64 and am desperate to rid myself of MCE. I followed whurlston's tutorial to setup an ATSC/QAM tuner but the card is not being recognized. I can see it listed with all the other cards in the drop-down box, but when I select 'Only show devices detected in this machine' I get the error 'No know cards detected in this machine'.
Everything worked fine in MCE so I know that it's recognizable and functioning, I just can't get gbpvr to play along.
I have a hauppauge hvr1600. gb-pvr records shows just fine and I can play them back fine using the hvr1600 but when I playback using gb-pvr the picture is very jerky. I do have dual video cards, an ati radeon hd 3600 agp and a hd 2400 pci. The problem only occurs on the hd 2400 pci card.
the BDA mux is set to TS mux.
the only video renderer that seems to work for both video cards is EVR. Even though i use VMR9 on the hvr1600 it does not seem to work in gb-pvr playback.
Another minor problem is I would like to run in windowed mode be able to drag it to either screen then go to full screen using alt_enter. When I do that it will always pop over to screen 2 if the "start on second monitor is set:" and pop over to screen 1 if it is not set. I can change the config every time I want to move it but that is a bit of a pain.
I am trying to map the channels in gbpvr. everything works well under the HDHR config. When I try to run the GB-PVR config it doesnt pick up anything I get no channels found. I looked at the HDHR config page and it seems to be changing channels as the GB-PVR scans. at the end I have no channels found. I did increase the timing for GB to lock on the channel as suggested on another post but nothing happen.
I have included the logs and bda.ini file hope it helps. Also forgot to add. I am am looking for is OTA channels.
My system is working so well, and has needed so little tweaking recently that I'm reduced to reporting only this minor but important issue:
1. When I skip backwards, especially after the video has been paused, the skip often goes forwards. The workaround is to hold down the skip button to get a repeat when it will jump back too far, and I have to skip forward again...
2. When I press play after pausing on SD files, it skips forward 30 seconds or so. When I press play after pausing an HD video, it starts where it left off.
Any thought on why these issues should happen, or fixes?
I have been trying to make Hauppauge HVR-950Q work with GB-PVR. I was able to set up channels. However, I am not getting any sound in LiveTV. I am not quiet sure if I can record yet. I searched the forum a couple of nights but haven't found magic trick yet. If anyone can point me what should I have to do make LiveTV and recoding work, I will appreciate it.
