My PCH has gathered dust for quite some time but the old CRT gave up this week and was replaced by a shiny new Panasonic Plasma. So I dusted off the PCH and installed the latest version with the NMTInstall.
Everything seems to be working fine, GBPVR is displayed and I can move along the menus, etc. But when I try to play a video (either MKV or AVI) the PCH goes to buffering and then times out with file could not be played. With LiveTV the screen just goes blank and nothing appears. I'm guessing GBPVR is ok because both video and LiveTV work locally on the PC.
I have two half hour shows I recorded that show a time line of 2 1/2 minutes. The file sizes are about 10% of what I would expect for a half hour show.
I did watch one and it seems the whole show is there, but, it plays at warp speed. The show runs at "fast forward" and probably plays in around 2 minutes.
What causes that? Those two programs recorded back-to-back. The next night 4 shows recorded normally.
I tried to retime and re-run the mpg but I get the same result.
It's not that HDTV looks bad or anything, I was just curious. I'm currently using 1.3.11 and don't want to go through the hassle of reinstallng everything. I tried upgrading, but found the TV mapping a bit more tedious than the previous version so I reverted back, but I would upgrade again since I like to squeak out any possible enhancement for my HDTV viewing pleasure. thx
The current/newest version of GBP has this entry in bda.ini:
Code:
[Anysee E30 C plus]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-C
FILTER_TUNER=anysee BDA Digital Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=anysee BDA Digital Capturer
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
To get my "Anysee E30 C plus" working, I had to change FILTER_TUNER to:
Code:
FILTER_TUNER=anysee BDA Digital Tuner(DVB-C)
Perhaps "my version" of tuner could be added to bda.ini in the future versions of GBPVR as "[Anysee E30 C plus type2]" or similar so that all Anysee users can get their tuners automatically recgonized?
i bought on e-bay a dvb-t usb stick, but i can't use it with gb-pvr.
It is based on an intel chip. in the device manager it is being shown as Intel CE9500 and on the driver CE6230.
It works fine when i use VLC Player, but i want to use it with my favourite PVR program - GBPVR.
the problem is that hen i tried to install it, i couldn't find it on the digital recievers list, so i tried alot of similiar devices, but none of them work - when i try to scan for channels, the config program crashes.
Im having this problem when I enable "allow this devise to bring the computer out of standby"(lan card) then I have to tick
"only allow management stations to bring this computer out of standby" otherwise my PC keeps waking up at strange hours.
When its ticked GB-PVR cant wake up my PC . My question is whether its possible to make a script to wake up GB-PVR via wol when you wants to record a program . It would help just about anyone who is
using GB-PVR and having this problem.
I have attempted to configure my AverMedia Volar max USB digital tuner (ATSC) hardware by using the configuration utility selecting the capture source tab. I selected the recording source by clicking on the âOnly show devices detected in this machineâ option. The config utility supposedly picked up my digital USB tuner.
I then used MC2XML Grabber to download and create an xmltv file gathered directly from Microsoftâs MCE EPG server for my EPG source.
I pointed to the xmltv file via the xmltv plugin setting then updated my EPG. A this point I selected the âmap digital channels to the EPG channelsâ option.
The issue: Although it seems the scan picked up all my 68 local digital channels (bottom right hand side window displayed them)
Nothing came up in the tuning request column (this tuning column never came up) for me to âfineâ select the channels as the Wiki guide suggested
In addition when I save and exit the config utility and re-enter the GBPVR program selecting TV guide does nothing.
Can anybody tell me what I need to do at this point? I have followed the Wiki guide completely step by step up to this point to be able to finally get to my TV guide so I can start recording.
Note:I have already attemped to empty out my EPG and starting over,
re-registering my filters with the required bat file, removing the capture source and starting over from scratch etx (all the usual Wiki recommendations) with still the same problem.
I'd like to suggest a menu item that matches up the Recurring Recordings with the Pending list and gives you a list of recurring items that are NOT in the pending list for the upcoming week.
The purpose of this is to detect recurring items that are not scheduled to record that week, e.g. because the show is NOT scheduled that particular week or because the show's original scheduled time changed and the recurring item needs updating. This list would allow you to detect anomalies and avoid missing episodes.
Now I am looking to buy a few more cards and remove my HVR-1300 (because of the issues in the thread mentioned above) and I would like any input on whether the new cards I am planning to buy will work together with GBPVR.
I plan to replace my HVR-1300 with one of the following;
:Technotrend S-1401 DVB-S Card
or
: TeVii S420 DVB-S Card with Remote
or
: AVerMedia AVerTV DVB-S Hybrid+FM Digital Satellite+Radio & Analog
or
:Hauppauge WinTV Nova S Plus DVB-S
Then once I have purchased one of the cards above and got it working with my HVR-4000 I plan to purchase two DVB-T PCI-E cards (if I can afford it) to hopefully complete my HTPC.
The reason I want so many TV cards is that it seems all the good shows are on at the same time and that all the shows I want to watch are on at the same time as the shows my wife wants to watch.
The DVB-T PCI-E cards I am thinking about getting are the
âLeadtek DTV1300 T PCI-E DVB-T Digital Terrestrialâ
(I am planning on two identical cards is that a bad idea?)
Any comments or suggestions on the cards above (or other suggested cards available in NZ) working together with a Hauppauge HVR-4000 in GBPVR would be greatly appreciated.
