Hello all.

I have procured 10 hauppauge pvr 150s off ebay.

Would like to know if GB-PVR can run more than 2 cards simultaneously on one PC. And if yes, maximum how many cards can be used in one machine?

Also, can multiple cards be used for simultaneous recording only or also for simultaneous viewing (picture in picture style)?

Regards.

Amer

WHurlston,

1- I noticed that there is a Vtype in the tuning string that appeared on one of the channels, what is this? and are there more types than the ones you gave above that could appear? what are they?

2- are the frequencies the same from tuner to tuner or are they different? I want to see if its possible to ask the community for the frequency string if I can't find it.

3- there are some channels that I us that are marked as encrypted but clearly are not. Why?

4- I just added a new channel 136 to each tuner line using the GBPVR config. (I edited each tuner line and clicked on the add channel button). It has assigned channels 713 and 714 (one for each tuner instead of just one) to the channel list instead of just one entry for channel 136. How do I fix this?

5- the tv guide in PVR use to display a yellow line from the arrows at the top and bottom of the tv guide box. It's no longer there. How do I get it back?

6- is there documentation that explains what the variables in config.ini are? I want to make sure that if I change one its for what I think it should and not for something else.

Once again, thanks for your help and for fixing my sound problem.

Hi,

I am new to GB-PVR.
I have a MCE 2005 machine that I just installed GB-PVR (1.4.7)onto. I am trying to view the guide so I can setup recording. When I launch PVRX2 I get the "Sorry this system does not support the required VMR9 video render" I am accessing the machine from a remote desktop connection. I do not have a monitor hooked up to the PVR, I always did it this way with MS Media Center.

System Specs:
Windows XP Pro Sp3
AMD 2600+
768 MB Ram
NVIDIA Geforce 6200
Hauppauge PVR-150
DirectX 9c

I just installed Community Skin Ver 4 Widescreen, and have a problem. The Skin Plugin shows in config, but not on the PRRX2 main menu. I am using Windows 7 RTM. Everything else is good, including the Music plugin, and that one shows in the main menu, but not skin plugin. I am seeing the default skin of Community, so I know it's there. Any ideas?

I'm interested in the opinion of anyone who has a MSDN subscription. I am thinking of getting one for my small company. The Operating Systems subscription is $700 (unless I can find a coupon code) :confused: but anytime my small business shells out cash, especially in hard times, I question myself.
I'm under the impression that I can activate 10 machines but am not sure if this is allowed for a business or not.
Plus, can just anyone get a subscription or do you have to have special credentials?

Daylight savings is here again and it appears that the Australian broadcast EPG is out by an hour again!

Am I right in assuming that there are no EPG time adjustments available for broadcast EPG?

I tried finding this in the Wiki but was unable to obtain this information directly. If you have a single tuner which you add within the capture source tab as two line items with separate EPG configurations (perhaps some channel differences) by using say the MC2XML Grabber to download and create a xmltv from Microsoft MCE and another xmltv created from the TitanTV site. Once the EPG is updated for these two guys how does the TV guide know which of these it should use to display the EPG data within the TV guide?

Thanks to all in advance.

I have been using GBPVR on my PC for about 3-4 years. I recently bought a HDTV and have reading up on the popcorn hour and how it integrates with GBPVR. Long story short, I thought I would ask the experts.

1) I understand that popcorn hour allows users to stream content from another location. I would be curious to know if it allows you to also record back to the location of the content. In other words, I’d like to centralize my video files so I can watch them on either location. If I buy a popcorn hour unit can I use the GBPVR menu to then record back to my pc? Or will it just stream and show the menu?

2) I have noticed that some popcorn units allow you add hard drive. If you add a hard drive can you use GBPVR to record to the popcorn hour? (I'm assuming so but I'd like to know for sure.) Will it record in hard drive?

3) How does comskip work with popcorn hour? If I stream from another location will it still work? If I buy a popcorn hour and put in a hard drive will comskip work on there?

4) How difficult is it to get a popcorn hour to work with a cable box? I’m assuming pretty easy….

5) Am I better off to just build a media PC or buy a popcorn hour? If I buy a popcorn hour what model would you recommend?

Any info would be helpful...thanks!

Hi,

I installed the Burndvdx2 plugin the other day, however it says I have no files! Is this due to an incompatibility with the TS-Mux, and if so is this a feature that will be implemented in a future version?

Thanks

I have had some problems with codecs (anyone heard that before) but at last I got it working on all filetypes by using the latest ffdshow.
Everything goes to ffdshow now and I have subtitles even in .mkv (that was the reason for my earlier trouble)

But it takes a long time with black screen (20-30 sek) before the file starts playing.

I suspect that there are some old stuff left in the system that creates this problem. But how do I clean the system from old garbage/codec traces (if this is the cause)?

Yes, a clean install would probably fix it, but that is the last option...

Other than that I'm open for suggestion.
