Hello,
been trying to get my single 2250 to work with my 1.4.7 install
I have looked through a majority of the threads and am still having trouble.
How do i get both tuners working with both analog and digital
here is what i understand so far
I have to add 4 total
2 analog
2 digital
However 2 capture card types are showing up 2200 and 2250
I have Capture device #1 thru capture device #8 (i only have 1 2250 installed)
Trying to get analog working....
[Recording Source] Analog Recording Plugin
Capture Card Type Hauppauge HVR-2250
Checked "only show devices detected in this machine"
Country USA
Board Number Capture Device #1
Source Internal Tuner Tuning Cable
[EPG Source] SchedulesDirect
[Channel Changer] no channel changer required
just get a black screen on all channels
Also i would eventually like to get OTA HD and Clear QAM working.
I have been looking into improving my disk performance for those times when it is under load. BigMoose told me about enabling AHCI mode on SATA drives, but I can't seem to determine how to do that...there doesn't seem to be any such mode in my BIOS. Perhaps it is a 64-bit protocol and XP has it locked out (although the BIOS should still show it).
In addition: I have a spare Gig or so of memory, and could very cheaply have 5. I have been considering installing either a large disk cache in that space or a RAM disk to take up Live TV buffering (or possibly both). Does anyone have any opinions or experiences about this? The RAM disk could also be the location for the Windows Swap file.
Regarding the Live TV buffer: What happens if the allocated volume runs out of space? Does the buffer clear and reset, or does it cause problems?
For some reason, my cable service has some channels duplicated. For example, ABC is channel 8, but the exact same content is available on channels 11, 80, 82, and 114.
When I do a search, every result is listed five times - once for each channel. In the configuration, I uncheck all the duplicate channels, and that keeps them from showing up in the TV guide, but they still show up is searches.
I can delete the duplicate channels in the capture source, but the next time the EPG is updated, they come right back.
It's just an annoyance in an otherwise stellar program, but I would like to be able to fix it. Is it possible, or will the code have to be rewritten?
I am a brand new user to NMT with GBPVR (Popcorn Hour A-100). I've been using GBPVR for awhile. I went through the NMTInstall and was able to get the client up going through the Popcorn's Network Browser. I've played around for a bit and am very impressed. One thing that I haven't resolved is the menu aspect ratio. It appears that it is showing me a 16X9 menu, but I have a 4X3 TV hooked to the NMT. The menus hang off the left side and I've got a big black bar at the bottom.
I'm sure there is an easy solution, but I don't see it. I have attached a picture of the screen since it can explain what I see better than I can type it and the MVP log.
I am continuing this thread from here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...21&page=23 after the SAF failed to install on my system. The reason that I cannot use Hoborg's SAF is not due to any fault on its part, but because I must keep conflicting codecs in order for my online TV streamers to run.
As an alternative, I have installed the K-Lite codec pack and configured ffdshow according to advice from pBS here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ht=ffdshow . As I am an ATI Radeon user, I also have the Avivo codecs installed for MPEG2, and I use the CoreAVC h.264 decoder. In order for MOV files to play through the Directshow filter, I had to install an older version of the Quicktime Alternative codec (version 1.68 as advised in the doc wiki for the Cinema plugin http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/Cinema).
This has successfully restored playback for all codecs that I can think of (I haven't tried MP4 or Real). However, I have some lingering doubts...
Firstly, rumour has it that ffdshow will "take over" playback even if it is not selected in GBPVR's config. This appears to be the case for me; ffdshow is playing my live TV recordings and other MPEG2 files, even though I have selected for Avivo to do so (which I prefer due to the GPU processing and overall quality). Strangely, this seems to be the case even after I turn off mpeg2 entirely in ffdshow's configuration. Other than setting config to ATIMPEG, how can I force the use of Avivo codecs for this file?
Secondly, a minor annoyance with MOV files is that there is a slight "jerk" (imperceptible to my wife) every second or so. If anyone knows a tweak, that would be useful.
I am trying to get my Asus EHD3-100 tuner working with GBPVR but whenever I do a channel scan it doesn't pick up any channels. I currently have the tuner hooked up to my antenna and am trying to pick up OTA digital signals. With the Asus tv app that came with the card, I can pick up all of the local stations (total of 11 channels including sub channels) so I know that the card works and can pick up signals.
I added this section to bda.ini:
Code:
[ASUS EHD3-100]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=ASUS EHD3100 BDA ATSC Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=ASUS EHD3100 BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
The relevant sections from FilterCheck.log:
Code:
13:00:22.421 INFO Checking KSCATEGORY_BDA_NETWORK_TUNER filters
13:00:22.421 INFO found: ASUS EHD3100 BDA ATSC Tuner

Attached are the log files from the config utility when I tried to do a channel scan, plus the full FilterCheck log.
Apologies if there is something silly or stupid I'm overlooking; I read through as much documentation and as many forum posts as I could find that seemed relevant, but none of the things I tried from those worked. Thanks for any help!
I wrote a ânewâ .ini file for KabelBW. This file contains all frequencies KabelBW currently broadcasts programs on. Maybe you want to put it in GBPVR.
Please move this post if it is wrong in this part of the forum.
@All
KabelBW is a cable TV provider in Germany. So for all of you not living in Germany, especially in Baden-Wuerttemberg, you are probably not interested in this.
@ All others using KabelBW and a DVB-C card:
The current file for KabelBW in GBPVR does not contain all frequencies KabelBW broadcasts on. Replace the existing
Code:
kabel-bw.ini
file in the folder
Code:
<your_GBPVR_installation_folder>\BDA\DVB-C
with the attached file. When you start a new scan GBPVR will scan all frequencies KabelBW currently broadcasts programs on.
I've encountered a problem whereby since by upgrade to Windows 7, my client can no longer modify the database on the Windows 7 GBPVR server. When I browse to the network share (//gbpvr/gbpvr/) and try and write a file, Windows pops up the error "You need permission to perform this action".
I've checked on the server, and the folder is shared with Full Control and Write permissions.
I'm a little stumped. I look forward to finding out what blindingly obvious step I've missed out!
My hardware:
OS: Win XP Pro SP3
Capture Card: Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C (BDA drivers 4.8.3.18)
Graphic card: Asus GeForce EN6200LE TC512 TD 256MB
Mainboard: Asus P5Q3
Hard Drives: Several Samsung drives (one 2.5, rest 3.5)
My situation:
I use GBPVR on my server for recording only. I then use the web interface to access GBPVR and to play the recordings on my clients. My server is configured in a way that it should go into standby after 15 minutes.
My problem:
When I hit the “Play Program” button on the “Manage Recordings” tab on the web interface the selected recording starts to play. So far so good. But exactly after 15 minutes my server goes into standby, resumes immediately and then crashes immediately.
All I see is a black screen and the server is completely dead. All I can do is to hit the power button for longer than 5 seconds to power off the machine.
There is no error message in the logs (see attached zip file). There is no error message in the event viewer of windows.
Same problem on (mostly) different machine:
I have had the same problem with another machine. I used this one in the same way as described above. Its hardware configuration was:
OS: Win XP Home SP3
Capture Card: Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C (BDA drivers 4.8.3.18) – same as above
Graphic card: Onboard graphic
Mainboard: Aopen i915Ga-hfs
Hard Drives: Maxtor and Several Samsung drives
AND:
Besides that, the server crashes randomly with the same symptoms. It goes into standby, resumes immediately and crashes immediately. I then have a black screen as well and the machine is completely death. Again no error messages in the logs or Windows event viewer. The same happened with the old server too.
My suggestions:
So maybe this has nothing to do with GBPVR but since both machines are/were dedicated to GBPVR and have completely different hardware components I predict that GBPVR causes the problems. Also I can not find threads in the forum from users having problem with the capture card I use.
