I've been trying to set up my new server for GBPVR on a 64 bit version of Windows 7. For some strange reason most of the encrypted DVB-C recordings (I'd say 95%) give me very small files (a few MB), but encrypted live TV and the recording of unencrypted channels work fine. I've set the TSMuxBlockEncrypted parameter in the register, so it looks like the recording service isn't able to decrypt the channel. I can't find any errors in the logs, but they are attached, and so is the psi.log.
First I thought it was a problem with my floppydtv's (CI) and Windows waking up but I'm also seeing the same behaviour with my KNC One using mdapi after a reboot.
I have no idea what to try next. Any suggestions? Btw, all tuners work fine on the same GBPVR version on 32 bit Vista.
I previously reported a problem with recording the incorrect channel in this thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=45312 I made the config changes suggested there and am using the TS mux (not Full TS). The problem reoccurred over the weekend so upon further investigation I find the tuning strings appear to be messed up for the problem channels.
Channels of interest as found by my TV tuner:
106.1 KCTSDT (PBS)
106.4 KINGDT (NBC)
I have a test box running XP and GBPVR 1.4.7 that works fine on these channels. Here is the scan cache and Wiz BDA tool report for that box:
In the second case for the HTPC, the program IDs (P:x) are linked to the incorrect video and audio streams. To fix this, can I edit the scan cache to correct the problem, and then remap these two channels? Do I have to do something to reload the cache? I ask this because there are many more choices in the channel mapping list than in the scan cache file. Also, I have a Avermedia Duet dual tuner and there are 2 scan cache files scan3 and scan4. There are two other capture sources, a PVR150 and Graphrecorder, so I'm assuming the two Avermedia tuners are capture sources 3 and 4 and there is a cache file for each tuner.
As a side note, after getting these 2 channels to display the correct program in the channel mapping preview (albeit with the messed up tuning strings), they displayed the correct channel when selecting Watch from the Guide. But, KING was recorded when KCTS was chosen for Quick Record from the Guide. I might be wrong on this, but is there something that works differently between Watch and Record for the tuning process?
An additional note, the HTPC is on Win7, so am I perhaps getting faked out by the Virtual Store system such that I'm not seeing what is actually being used by GBPVR? I have the GBPVR folder set up for full control for everyone.
I don't think the cable provider has changed anything since the TV has continued to work with these channels IDs.
Hopefully this is clear enough to get a solution. I'd just as soon not rescan, if possible.
I've finally got my PSP to stream my recordings from my HTPC.
I used IRSHELL and psplayer 2.0 with something called nethostfs.
nethostfs runs on the host machine and allows IRSHELL to access all the files in that directory. Psplayer 2.0 homebrew allows for playing of almost all types of video as long as its less than 480x272.
The streaming is 802.11 b only so it can be finicky. For talking heads the sound is perfect but the video can be choppy at times but it's acceptable. I think music streaming would be perfect.
The limitation of 480x272 is crummy but at least now I only have to convert once for my old CRT, portable DVD player and PSP.
mvallevand - do I want one? Do we think based on the fact that it's the same chipset at the C200 that it wont be able to use mvpmcx2 but will be able to play x264 with HE-AAC-lC audio??
At $179USD and factoring about $20USD for shipping that works out about $270NZD - similar to a WD TV Live...and better the devil you know...
I have some problem seting up the capture sources for the two HVR-4000
HVR-4000 Card A:
Is through a four way switch connected to sat a, b, c and sat d.
The settings for card A is 4 sources and Device 1
The card scans all four sources with no identified problems.
HVR-4000 Card B:
Is through a four way switch connected to sat b, c and sat d.
The settings for card B is 3 sources and Device 2
For the 3 sat on card B I dont get any signals.
Any idea of what I am doing wrong?
SOLUTION
I wasnt really doing anything wrong.
I had DVBviewer recordingservice installed, and somehow the process wasnt killed by shutting down the recording service and thereby ocupying Card B.
Hi all,
I am a huge fan of GB-PVR in general, but MovieWiz is allowing me to do something that I have wanted to do for a long time. I love the idea of not having to search for and load a DVD each time I want to watch a movie. I have one question/request though. I haven't been able to find a way, in the wiki or by searching the forums to resume playback from the last stopped location. I am so used to this being automatic on a DVD player that I really miss it. Am I missing something, or is MovieWiz not capable of performing this function. If it isn't currently, is this something that could be programmed into a future release? Thanks for any help.
I have not upgraded to either Vista or Win7 yet. A few users have run into problems in these OS's related to security, and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on it for me.
It seems that if a user runs a utility program (i.e. MovieWizManager), that updates a database, it fails when launched from the normal logged on user when trying to perform update on database. But, if run as an administrator, it runs fine.
Do I need to somehow elevate priviledges or something under Vista/Win7 in order to get the normal user to work?
For example:
Quote:I have only tried this as standalone.
This one starts, both normal and as a administrator.
And the last message is Form1_Load() - Step 3.
But when run as admin, I also get the END when I close the app.
It is possible to edit the db as a administrator with this version. But as a "Normal user", I get the exception below. Looks like I have no right to edit the db.

Ok. So I will admit that i am not the most sophisticated user. I upgraded from a hauppage 350 (running fine for a couple of years) to the 1600 because I wanted to take advantage of my new TV.
I have seen some mention of different codecs and am looking for some insight. the 1600 plays back files recorded from 350 fine. The 1600 is recording in a dvr-ms file format. I can play them with VLC player but they play back Wonky. Sound is out of whack and picture looks bad with movement. They will not play back on with GB-pvr at all.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance
I've read every post over the last few months and haven't been able to find a resolution.
My setup:
- PCH A-110
- Windows 7 machine running GBPVR v1.4.7
- HDHomerun streaming HD over by GB network to GBPVR
My install:
- GBPVR - everything works fine from the computer
- Installed mvpmcx2 using CSI to my PCH harddrive
The problem:
I run GBPVR from my PCH using the web service and it starts up no problem, I see the correct guide, correct video etc. Trying to play any video doesn't work. When I try to watch live TV, the TV just goes black and stays that way. I monitor Ethernet traffic on my computer and see that video traffic is streaming from the HDHomerun to the computer (download) but there is no upload traffic to the PCH. So I know that PCH is controlling GBPVR on my computer but its not streaming the traffic...
- I've disabled all firewalls (computer and router)
- I followed the install instructions (enabled streaming on my computer etc.)
Everything with the GBPVR install works perfectly from the computer.
Please help -- I've spend hours trying to fix this. Log files are attached.
Whenever i click "Map Digital Channels to Epg Channels" i get this message "unable to start the BDA device" could anyone assist me in setting this up. Thanks for your help
