After getting my NMT I found it displayed the fonts much bigger than my old MVP so I decided I needed to develop a High Visibility skin with smaller fonts than Blue-Retro-SHV so Blue-Retro-HV was born. It uses fonts that are on average two points smaller than I used when developing Blue-Retro-SHV but uses the same TaskImages & layout etc. It has been tested on an NMT, MVP, PC & PC Client.

Here is the wiki link if you want to check it out

I've been having the problem where I can't get sound on any recorded video (live works OK). I found a thread suggesting that using ffdshow had worked for several people (as opposed to any of the codecs I had to choose from) as the AC3 codec, so I installed ffdshow and all seemed well.

After rebooting the machine, there was a dialog box (can't remeber exactly what it said now) during boot (after windows main desktop loaded) saying something wanted to use ffdshow to do audio and did I want to let it. Naievely I said yes and on starting pvrx2 I found I was back where I was with no audio.

I re-installed ffdshow, to no effect.

I have used graphedit to display the codecs, and unsurprisingly there is no audio codec. More surprisingly the video codec shows as being Avermedia (there is an avermedia card in the system), but the video codec is listed as ffdshow in pvrx2 config.

If I click on ffdshow in the programs menu it shows the ffdshow config and everything seems to be in the default state.

Being a newbie I'm not sure what the drill is for describing the config.

Any ideas please ?

thanks,
Derek

It would be great if built-in streaming capabilities were possible.

Something like simply being able to specify links and connection types (mms or what have you) to watch within GB-PVR.

I know UbuStream does something quite similar, but getting it to work with GB-PVR under different skins and what-have-you is quite troublesome.

Hello,

I have installed the GBPVR software on my PC by running the NMTInstall.exe installer and I'm able to show some video's from my shares.
On My PCH-A110 I have installed the mvpmcp2 application.

When I start GBPVR on my PCH the (blue) skin is very big. I'll could only see a little part of the screen.

If I however play a movie the screen size is correct.

How and where could I change the size of the skin so I'll could see the hole picture on my screen.

I'm using PAL screen format 16x9.

Many thanks.

Hi all,

I searched but didn't find anything along these lines. I was wondering there an option somewhere to cause the stream to split into multiple mp3's when the song changes?

Thanks

Hi,

For everyone who helped earlier thanks again.

I now have my Hauppage HVR1900, all set, installed, but possibly not well configured

Both in LiveTV and going to the TVGuide, I cant seem to change channels. When I enter PVRX2, I choose for instance LiveTV, and it displays some channel, then I try changing to another channel but it wont "move". The same happens in the TVGuide, when I choose the first one I want to watch, it will display some channel (though not necessarily the one I choose) and if I try to change it wont.

I have configured my HVR1900 as a HVR1950, because mine is not on the list.

Any ideas? thoughts?

I attached all the logs, dont really now which are important.

Thanks for any help.
Pedro.

P.S.: Forgot to mention, in WinTV7 it works, no problem.

I recently upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows 7. I was using the SAF codec pack, but I uninstalled it prior to doing the upgrade. After the upgrade, I set my video and H.264 decoder both to use the built in Windows decoder (Microsoft DTV-DVD video decoder).

All my TS recordings (mpeg2 and H.264) play fine, but the analog .mpg recordings no longer play. Looking at the graph in GraphStudio shows all boxes as disconnected.

My guess is that I am missing the filter that splits the MPG container stream. It was probably deregistered or uninstalled by my recent changes. What filter normally handles the splitting of MPG files? How would I get this installed again?

Is this possible, so I can use an Ubuntu box and run mvpmc and do an emulation of the GBPVR similar to what an MVP does well. With an Ubuntu box, I can have an "MVP" and a full PC as a client.

I don't want to shell out for a license of Win just for this purpose.

Thanks.

Dear all. Can we watch other channels on LiveTV while recording a show thru Ctrl K, instant record? I can do it in scheduled rec but not in instant rec. I have 4 tuners working ok. Thanks for help.

Hi all, firstly great programe, just installed it on my new HTPC all works great had to install SAFv400 beta tho to get sound,I got sick of avermedia centre as I'm using a avermedia trinity tv card on it's DVB-t tuner.
Anyway got a few questions I'm sure have been answered in here somewhere but I haven't found any with hours of searching.

Firstly got all channels execpt prime, is there a way to find this channel?

Epg, I've selected epg over DVB-t but only get a couple of programmes worth of the guide. Do I have to use the external programe to get the whole guide?

When watching live TV how do i get full screen and loose the windows toolbar at the bottom of screen?

If anyone can help with these problems it would be really aprecated, Iam very new to this HTPC world!
