I found that playing with MPC HC, the CPU usage is 15%.....

using GBPVR to play, the CPU usage is 100%.....

why is there such a performance difference?

I've moved from a fully working Windows XP install to a Windows 7 install and copied the gbpvr database and config.xml file over to make things simpler.

My problem is that on some channels I get a blank screen instead of Live TV and when I tried a recording it was a zero-byte file.

I could re-create the capture cards but I find it strange that it was working with the same config (and hardware) in Windows XP, and that it's only some channels. WMC on the same machine can play all channels.

Any suggestions?

Apart from the config.exe one for audio #2 mapings are there any other patches since the release of v1.4.7? I'm sure there was a live tv nativeutilites.dll one but I can't seem to find it now.

i got a ts file, but there is no caption display? is there some kind of settings i need to do to have cc? thanks

Upgraded to 1.4.7. Now GBPVR and my TV Card wont play nice anymore!
I can watch all previously-recorded episodes just fine.

I initially had identical problems with the upgrade so I uninstalled it, cleaned out the folder of all files (I have backups), and installed a fresh copy.

Symptoms:

1. LiveTV: Black Screen / no audio / PVRX Freezes and I need to Ctrl+Alt+Del it away.
   
2. Recordings: (around or Less than 100 KB) videos for anything (including livetv) that records. Additionally, once finished, I get no file in any show's directory.
   
3. The Recording File: After killing PVRX after a Freeze, the Recording Service doesn't want to give up the file it was working on; even after stopping it and the tray shows white (but it says it's still recording). Eventually, it will let go (either through my killing of it's processes, restarting it's processes, or time elapsing) and the tray will return to "sleeping" mode. The Config app cant save it's settings and freezes also, unless that file is released. Just complete weirdness really.

I am wondering how some people deal with AnyDVD and GBPVR.

Sometimes, AnyDVD can take up to 3-4 minutes to decrypt a DVD, especially Disney DVDs.

My wife is not very patient and always selects DVD before AnyDVD has decrypted, so the DVD tray ejects.

How do some of you handle this? The WAF is low with this because she doesn't understand she needs to wait 5 minutes after she inserts a DVD before she ca try playing it.

Thanks for any pointers.

I'm trying to setup my system to use a PVR-150 set on channel 3 to record the output from my satellite receiver, and I have an HD-950 to record OTA digital channels (north America). The PVR-150 is working fine to record or watch whatever is on the sat receiver, but how do I set it up to view the digital channels using the other tuner?

2nd question is: how do I get the PVR-150 to change the channel on the Sat box when needed? How does GBPVR know when to use the HD tuner vs the analog tuner?

I am running version: 1.4.7

Hello everyone,

Well, I just returned my broken hauppage pvr-usb2 to the store (very nice customer service from portuguese inforlandia, full refund, including delivery, they deserve this small publicity

So, I'm now considering the Hauppage HVR-1900, I think I can order from the german site...

Question is, just to make sure, the analog part works with gbpvr, right? I saw the HVR-1950 in the supported list and looks like it's a US/ntsc version of the HVR-1900.

Thanks for your input.
Pedro.

Is it ok to copy the gbpvr database and config.xml from a Windows XP system to a Windows 7 system? Just wondering if there's anything driver or o/s specific in there?

Hi all ;
As explained in the title, i'm using Compro Videomate as DVB-S reciever, this card works well with ProgDVB and DVBDream, but when i us the GB-PVR i get no signale...:confused:

I tried to do some modification on the BDA.ini file but without success, the actual lines are (after modifications ):

[VideoMate S500 Digital Device]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
SUPPORTS_BDA_DISEQC=3
FILTER_TUNER=VideoMate S500 DTV Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=VideoMate S500 Digital Video
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2-Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2-Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2-Transport

I attached the FilterCheck.exe results and all the log files if that can help :o

Can i have some help Please.
