Some of the mpeg files on my hd have audio troubles when played on the MVP.
The audio is either silent or highspeed (and out of sync then of course).
AVIs etc play fine.
If I switch dongle to a standard dongle.bin.. they all play fine.
Ive tried a few different mvpmc.bin, they all seem to have the same problem. (its unclear which mvpmc we should actually be running for a simple MVP ?)
I had this problem back with 1.3 of gbpvr, I recently updated with a fresh install of 1.47.. same problem though.
Funny thing is, Im sure at some point I had mvpmc loaded, and everything played.. perhaps there's a version that works, but I can no longer find it.
Heres the MediaInfo clip from a recent file that doesnt work.

Now, all my videos are not the same format. Some are Mpeg1 video.. (me playing around with ffmpeg CL options in my converter program).. some are different audio etc. Im pretty sure they all played at some point.
AFAIK, this recent one above 'should' play.
I noticed some other posts with similar issues, but they didnt follow through.
Anyone ripping Blu-Rays? What software do you use? How big is the result? Plan is to rip them to disk & watch on the PCH. Comments and/or advice appreciated.
Guys, newbie here. I've installed gb-pvr and configured for my pvr-150 card. However when I start pvrx2 and click on "live tv" nothing happens, no error message or anything???
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm running windows 7 64 bit.
Is there a way to change the Quick Record defaults? I see that the "TV Listings" plug-in will allow this, but I am very happy with my present setup and can't find any options for the Quick Record feature.
So I found an ATI 3650 at a really great price and upgraded my video card. It was actually the cheapest PCI-E video card in the store at $39. As a bonus, it has a 650 pro tuner on it. I primarily got this to use as a video card so if the tuner does not work, I am not really out anything.
I got it all setup and tested good in Windows Media Center. I was able to successfully record two shows simultaneously in WMC. GBPVR does see the card, but does not seem to lock onto any channels. I also see "Failed to start BDA Graph" everytime I attempt to scan for channels. I am assuming that means GBPVR cannot start the device. I have checked to make sure that media Center is not running.
Before I give up on it, I thought I would post my logs to make sure I wasn't missing something. The system is Win7 Ultimate. It also has a Hauppauge 1600 tuner that is working.
I had read lots of stuff about using XP drivers and copying the ini settings from another card to get it working, but nothing specific and recent.
I am getting cramped for space trying to get a lot of text in a small area and I was wondering if I wanted to add a button-less view with information while playing music instead of a popup would I be able use UiList.ViewMode.MODE_COVERS I can't find any info on this mode.
In another thread (http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...ostcount=2) there was a statment made that The problem is with CS not GB-PVR, it isn't compatible with Windows 7 or Vista. If you change the properties on the GB-PVR folder to be r/w for all users you should be ok.
I like the Community skin but if there are problems with it I would like to know just how compatible it is with Windows 7.
I downloaded version 4.05 and noticed that in order to get it to run successfully I had to run Winzip as Administrator.
I see that you made some of the skin changes I had earlier suggested for some plug-ins. Thanks.
I noticed that you made the change of text size for the <CompositeImage name="AlertTextBoxImageNormal" to use the MapTitle textsize. You should have also made the same change to the <CompositeImage name="AlertTextBoxImageSelected" text size. It is a minor issue but most Alerts are rather large and must be scrolled so the text size for when the AlertBox is selected is important.
I'll ask you to please bear with my ignorance on this as my system is all SD and the HD side of GBPVR is new to me.
Over the holiday here I was helping my brother-in-law get his HVR1600 working with GBPVR. We finally got it up and running just before I left, but the Live TV playback was stuttering a lot. I did not gather all the vital specs on his system, but this is what I did see:
Dell P4 2.53GHz (system is 3-4 years old)
1GB or RAM
40GB HDD (he plans to add another HDD)
Video adapter was an Intel something-or-other (didn't know Intel was a player in that market).
Windoze XP SP3
I noticed the CPU utilization sky-rocketed during Live TV mode. My system doesn't do this - is this an HD issue or something with the graphics card? I saw a few posts here recommending graphics card upgrades for HD, I guess it would be difficult to tell if that's the issue until I know what he really has under the hood.
I can certainly get more specs on his system, but for now I do have two questions:
1. Are there recommended minimum system requirements for HD with GBPVR?
2. Is there a way to get SD resolution Live TV playback with his HVR1600 so the system is usable in the short term?
