Hi,
I was able to grab listings using xmltv. I renamed the resulting file from data.xml to xmltv.xml and saved it in c:\epg.
I configured Capture Sources as per instructions in wiki (I chose digital recording plugin). Please note - I don't have a TV tuner installed - I just want to test TV Guide functionality. (I pointed the xmltv plugin to the file c:\epg\xmltv.xml)
The problem is, when I select "TV Guide" on the main GBPVR screen - nothing happens.
I have a some troubles executing bat files from the Recording Service in Windows 7.
It starts ParallelProcessing.bat(echo date to txt-file), but it does not run the following command:
start / D "C: \ Program Files \ LEDSdriver" LEDSdriver.exe USEREVENT0 = 1
If I just run ParallelProcessing.bat it works fine. The service has set the "Allow service to Interact with Desktop".
Plugged in a regular freeview box and signal is absolutely fine.
Have run the BDA Channel Scanner for UK and it does find the correct frequencies but cannot get a lock.
Have even done a drastic thing and installed the Blaze Player but that also cant find the channels.
Done the usual removing drivers in Device Manager Sound And Vision for the DVB-T device and reinstalled but still no luck.
All this is very strange - especially the fact that BDA Scanner sees the channels but just cant get a lock on them.
I have absolutely no idea what is going wrong at the moment and have never struggled as much as this before. Normally if anything goes wrong a fresh install of the wonderful GB-PVR will sort things out but things seem alot more complicated this time.
If any brainboxes out there have any other ideas then I would so much appreciate hearing them as I have been trying tofix this for about 5 hours now and am not even getting close.
I recently installed GBPVR running a WinTV-HR-1600, and I've noticed that when I have iTunes open, it messes up the playback of recordings. Even if I close iTunes, GBPVR won't recover unless I do a system reboot. Has anyone else experienced this? Solutions (other than ditching iTunes )?
it works well if i use an antenna (rabbit/bunny ears); however when I plug my cable into it no channels are found.
If i plug the same cable directly into my tv it works fine.
I even tried plugging my cable box into the TV Tuner card and still no channels are found.
I fired up Total Media which comes with the tuner and it finds all my cable channels but they are all locked with an icon of a padlock next to them.
I don't want to pirate cable but want to be able to record the channels I have paid for - what do i do??????
I am installing a Hauppauge hvr-930c and I am having trouble getting all channels tuned correctly. I'm running on danish provider "Stofa" dvb-c which uses a combination of QAM64 and QAM 256. When I do a scan using the "Digital channel mapping" tools in the config program the scan defaults to QAM64. How do I change this to 256? (Stofa does not provide a list of the frequencies, which is why scanning is my only option)
Just got a UB435-Q ATSC USB tuner last week after using a PVR-150 for the past 2-4 years. Am still using the 150 without any problems recording or transcoding the *.mpg recordings to Xvid using VideoReDo Plus & AGK. On the other hand...using the 435 to record some test programs to do the same thing...I get truncated file times/sizes on the files & out of sync audio. For instance...for a 22 minute program...the time after editing usually reads between 11 to 12 minutes.
From what I understand...any ATSC tuner just records whatever is sent out the transmitter without regard to the quality settings I would setup for the 150. Does anyone have any suggestions on editing/encoding files to get better results?
I like everything so far about gbpvr - the only thing that I really miss from MediaPortal is how it keeps a database of what you have watched and what's not been watched. For example. When I go into my "Star Trek" directory, I'll know right away that I have last watched 4x20 and then can now watch 4x21. The colour is different (darker text means new). Is there anything like this in gbpvr (plugin perhaps?) I have searched through the forums, and haven't found mention of it. I love the speed and simplistic interface, just I really miss this feature :-) Thanks for any help!
