Hello everyone.

I have successfully installed GBPVR and tuned all the channels through the tuning assistant.

I have installed three Hauppauge PVR 150 cards in my 3 PCI slots.

I then went to GBPVR config and then to 'Capture Sources' menu.

I then added 3 capture sources and named them Card1, Card2 and Card3.

In the 'settings' menu of each capture source, I selected Capture Device #1, #2 and #3 for the corresponding Board Numbers.

I also added channels for each capture source.

Now, I want to know how to record simultaneously from 3 different channels through the 3 different capture sources.

Dont know how to select them individually from the Recordings Menu / Manual Rec menu in the GBPVR Main Window.

I understand that GBPVR supports more than 2 tuners in one machine.

Thank you for the kind guidance.

Best Regards.
Amer

(p.s. am using an old version, v1.0.16. O/s WinXP SP2. PC is Dell Optiplex GX270 P4 2.8GHz 512RAM)

Is there any way to run this manualy rather than have to scan again? It found a bunch of channels I wasn't aware of and I need to activate them in Schedules Direct. When I go back into mappings the only ones that retained channel names were th ones I mapped, all the others that had channel names before are now just back to freq numbers.

Latest version GBPVR, Windows 7, Nova S USB. Record to .TS autoconvert to Xvid and comskip

Set to record freeview prime rugby twice now and have returned to find a empty folder in the save directory. Tried manually recording Prime and records fine, coverts to Xvid and runs comskip. The only thing I can think of is the rugby recordings will be several GB and the file size is an issue somewhere.

100's of GB free on the drive and 4Gb system memory so won't be a hardware limitation. Log seems to show everything went fine??

No Channels Found in Digital Channel mapping.

Just upgraded from 1.3.11 to 1.4.7 (did not work in either)

Have used the current hdhomerun 20090830 and the beta 20090923beta2

Windows firewall exceptions for config pvrx2 and GBPVRRecordingService.exe . Have also turned the firewall off.

Ran the HDHomerun setup program and have, what seem to be, correct entries in bda.ini

Installed MpaDecFilter.ax & Mpeg2DecFilter.ax and have run Re-register filters.

Any help would be appreciated.

I upgraded to 1.4.7 a little over a week ago & have had two instances where recordings would not start (seemed like none of the tuners would respond) & I had to restart the recording service.

The latest instance was just before 1930 EDT. I tried to watch the ball game, but selecting "watch" just kicked me back to the guide. I then tried "quick record", but it just showed "Pending" and would not start recording.

As soon as I restarted the recording service, it started recording.

Other than that, 1.4.7 has behaved fine.

I've used GB-PVR for a couple of years but just upgraded hardware. Before, I used a PVR-150/MediaMVP setup. I had few problems but some limitations, which is the reason for the upgrade. Now I'm using a Hauppauge HVR-1600 (PCI) for capture and an Asus (ATI Radeon) AH 3450 (AGP) for TV out.

The cable box (Scientific Atlanta 3250HD from Comcast) is connected to the HVR-1600 by coax (and also to the receiver by component cable for watching TV directly from the cable box.) The AH3450 is connected to the receiver by HDMI cable.

The GB-PVR box has an AMD 3000+ XP with 1GB of memory and a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP3 plus all Windows updates. GB-PVR version is 1.4.7. The latest WinTV7 was installed for the most current drivers for the card and for the IR blaster. ATI CCC 9.9 is installed with the AGP hotfix. I've also installed and unlocked Hobring's SAF codec pack but in the GB-VPR config, all audio and video codecs have been reset to system default.

On the capture sources tab, the Recording Source is set to "Analog Recording Plugin". I've tried others, but this is the only setting that gives me the option to set the Source to "Fixed Channel, External Tuner" (Tuning is set to "Cable" and Constant Channel to "3".) Since I'm no longer using the MediaMVP, I hope to use the HVR-1600's IR blaster to change the channel on the cable box.

Here's the problems I can't figure out:

1. Neither Live TV nor TV Guide work. When either is selected by either the keyboard or mouse, nothing happens. Live TV works in WinTV (set to channel 3.) I've tried every Video Renderer option. My EPG source is Schedules Direct. As best I can tell everything there is set up correctly. (When I manually update the listing, all the right boxes pop up for the right amount of time and I don't get any error messages.) All other options (Video Library, Setting, System, Exit, etc.) respond when selected as expected.

2. Screen changes from pressing a key on the keyboard or double clicking with the mouse sometimes (~10% of the time) take a long time (30+ seconds) for the screen to respond. I have noticed that if I move the mouse the screen will respond immediately. If this won't happen when (if) I use the remote with the IR blaster, this is less of a concern.

3. Audio studders. I tried to play an AVI file from the video library with heavy studdering for 3+ minutes before I turned it off. I opened the file in Windows Media Player 11 and the sound was fine.

4. Not exactly GB-PVR related, but I cannot get Hauppauge's IR blaster to work with my cable box. There is not an option for the Scientific Atlanta 3250HD. There is one for the 3250 but it does not work. If anyone knows which code to use, please post. If all else fails, I'll just the use the learn function.

I've have searched extensively in this forum and elsewhere for solutions but come up empty. If you can help with any of these problems or point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful.

Thank you.

When I playback .avi files on my MVP some of them play with the audio/video in sync, whereas others do not. Why is this?

They all play fine on the computer so I assume there is nothing wrong with the actual hardware, maybe its the way some films are encoded?

Any help would be much appreciated

Weird, start pxrx2 and it holds about 100% of the cpu for a couple of minutes.

Here' is the log as it starts, as far as I can tell, the high cpu usage is during loading of the tv guide (even though i haven't activated it).

So even though I'm 10 mins in to watching something the cpu is still running at 100%.

I am having trouble with the Ati tv Wonder digital cable tuner
i was able to add the card to dba.ini but when i try to map the channels

I get a error stating "unable to start bda device you have configured. check device is configured properly and not in use."


WMC is not running
I have attached the logs files.
thanks

Hi guys, as the thread title suggests I have no audio when using net radio. All other functions work flawlessly. I am using a HD-PVR and I get livetv, and recording playback all with sound.

When I play net radio i can see that there is an mp3 file generated in my recordings folder that plays fine when opened manually. I have tried reassociating mp3 files with wmp, and tried running the reregister filters bat file. I am running 1.4.7 currently, however, net radio did not work on my last version either, 1.3.7 I believe it was.

Ive attached a sample of the mp3 it creates, my logs and my config.xml in the zip file. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Mike
