Just thought I'd say I've learnt something from the WIKI....

I've been having issues getting AVI videos to play in Streaming Mode.

Then I find a page on the Wiki about PCClients and how to set up GBPVR.

which tells me AVI is not supported in Streaming Mode.

Some bits of the wiki do work well...

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
- 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. If you need any log files please just let me know what you want and where to get them. The CSI installer does such a good job, I'm not even sure where it installed mvpmcx2.

thanks,

See attached logs; it keeps crashing pvrx2.

Nothing should be locking those files (at least nothing that I've done).

Here is the exact error that occurred before it crashed:

Hi there,

I upgraded my HTPC from XP to Win7 (32 bit) and copied my gbpvr.db3 and config files over. Everything seems to be working fine with my new install with one exception. When my recordings fire off the channels don't change. (using a USB-UIRT to a Motorola Cable box - recording with an HD-PVR) If I launch PVRX2 and use the guide to watch live TV it changes fine. Its only my recordings that don't change. (It records fine on whatever channel the cables box was left on) The log doesn't have any errors and indicates that the USB-UIRT is sending the correct IR codes to change it but the UIRT doesn't actually do anything. I deleted the Capture sources and re-added and re-configured them and I am still having this error.

Any ideas?

I recently changed out my PVR 150 and put the 1600. One thing that began failing is my external hard drive that is hooked up via esata. It fails in two areas: 1. If i were to turn on the harddrive after turning on the computer; 2. if gbpvr wakes up the computer from sleep (in other words, if i were to wake up from sleep, then no problem).

What i mean by fail is that it hangs the computer and i need to reset the system. I'm currently running windows XP and use S3 sleep mode.

I tried changing my drive to use usb, and the problem didn't go away.

Anyone have thoughts? Is it related to getting a new graphics card or just coincidence? I have windows 7--should I upgrade? Will that take care of the issue? (I've hesitated because of the laborious process of going from xp to 7)

I'm using a computer to run "ripped" DVD music concerts through a DENON AV receiver. The DVD's were ripped using Moyea Magic DVD ripper. The profile used to rip the DVD's is Video MPEG-2, Audio AC-3. I'm using ffdshow as the codec with the GB-PVR software. My question is this. I'm getting "rough" edges around people faces when there is movement. If its a still shot it looks fine, but if there is any movement it's not as clear as it should be. I have software that came with my DVD Blu-ray drive. If I run one of these videos files in this software it crystal clear. What do I need to do to get that quality through the GB-PVR software.

Can someone tell me how to set up and use the dual tuners on the PVR2250? And once it is set up, how do you watch one channel while recording another in GBPVR?

My IR beanbag blaster is coming up like this:


And in HIP I have this:


How do I get Hip to talk to this?

I think my beanbag came with my Avermedia card, which died.

The Wiki page here states that the LIRC homepage has a list of persons who will build a receiver if you don't want to build it ourselves. Can't find the list.

Does anyone know where I can find a basic general Serial Port IR receiver to purchase?

I'm gonna seperate the discussion from http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...tcount=191 and bring it over here.

If this uses the getTaskImage() method, is it possible to have this update the icon in the slick menu? I could put that on the to-do list...
