I just bought and installed a used x1900 radeon pci express card to watch and record tv. I dont like the factory software so i decided to try gb pvr. I installed the program but tne tuner guide does not include my card. Any that I try say there is a missing crossbar. Am i doomed or am i missing a step in getting this to work for me. Thanks in advance with whatever suggestions you have.
I used the Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility and found that the following MPEG-2 decoders are installed on my system:
ffdshow Video Decoder
CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD8)
MPC - MPEG-2 Video Decoder (Gabest)
InterVideo Video Decoder
How come only the InterVideo and "system default" options appear in the dropdown list in the config utility? I would like to try some other decoders, as I'm not really satisfied with my picture quality, but can't figure out how to make the others appear on the list.
As an add-on to this question, are there other decoders that I should be trying as well?
Anyone had a chance to get a Netgear EVA2000 working with their setup? This device seems to be something worth investigating. On sale at Best Buy for $100, has HDMI and analog video connectors, and can play files from attached USB or network shares as well as Hulu, Youtube, etc.
Best of all - with the HDMI connector, it seems like it could be used for turning an old LCD monitor into a tuner-less TV...
The only way it could be better would be if it could be hacked to work as a real GBPVR frontend, ala the NMT or MediaMVP.
When accessing my EWA in Firefox (3.5) - the initial page comes up but a lot of links, including ones to advance the timeline on the guide, lead me to a non-functional totally white screen. Am I doing something wrong?
I am finally getting around to considering a stand-alone NAS to store/serve photos, music, video, etc. I've been using gbpvr for several years now (storing directly on my pc) but wasn't sure it it could handle recording from my Hauppauge capture cards (PVR-250 & HVR-1600) and storing directly to the remote NAS.
When I searched the wiki and the forum, I felt that I was getting some cross-information so I thought that I would ask directly.
Any key things I need to consider when moving towards a NAS?
I have been running 0.9912 on Vista.
Yesterday I tried installing 1.0407.
First without deinstalling the old version
Then I stopped the recording service
Next I installed vcredist
Next I uninstalled 0.9912
Next I uninstalled vcredist
I then tried again after renaming the folder devnz in Program Files to devnzold
After every step I tried again to install 1.0407. On every try the installation ended directly after the Installation wizards welcome screen with a message box stating "Fatal Error", "Installation ended prematurely because of an error"
In the application event log of Vista I can find 2 entries. One says installation failed. The second one reports Installation error status 1603.
So I hope someone can help me through the install because I do not know what else to try.
Something has changed somewhere (nothing I did...I don't think) to cause the TV Guide to all of a sudden not get populated with the data from mc2xml. I have run the EPG update several times through the PVR and manually. It is creating the xmltv.xml file with program schedules, but the XML file is not getting transferred to the TV Guide (I'm assuming that the guide gets its data from the XML file).
Any suggestions as to why it's not transferring the data from the XML file to the TV Guide?
I'm having trouble getting v2.0.2 working. I added the player and mplayer lines to my config.xml. When navigating in Web Radio is kicks me out to the main menu when I select anything. GBPVR is on my "H" drive and I have a feeling is my problem but I can't pinpoint it. Thanks.
