Upgraded from xp to vista home premium 32 bit and re-installed gbpvr. All channels are found successfully but:

If I run gbpvr tray "as myself" (=not as admin) and then launch pvrx2 from tray, I can not see live tv because "tuner is in use". If I quit pvrx2 and check the status, capture source #1 (my only one) is stuck in "livepreview mode".

Only way to reset the recording service is to stop or restart it, but the start-menu shortcut only has any effect if it is run "as admin". Task manager shows that the recording service´s user is SYSTEM (which I find weird as I started the tray and pvrx2 as myself, not "as admin").

If I run everything as admin, then I can access live tv, but live playback is super choppy and with errors in the picture, almost like if I had super weak signal. Playback of recordings/video files is smooth as silk, no problems there and signal is fine (like I said, gbpvr worked just fine in xp).

So my questions are:
a) how should I fix my access rights so that all of gbpvr is run as myself, or is it normal that the recording service is run as SYSTEM?

b) can the choppy playback be caused by incorrect access rights? My computer has enough power to playback blu-rays flawlessly, so SD-livetv should not cause any problems.

Logs are attached from a simple session in which I start tray, then pvrx2 from tray, see that the tuner is in use and quit pvrx2 and then fiddle around a bit more without success.

Maybe one the already available utilities/plugins already does it, but I couldn't find it through my searches. The closest I could find was in old UltraXMLtv's wiki page, about Series/Episode Lookup, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for exactly.

I grab my epg data (for Portugal) through xmltv's tv_grab_pt, and xmltv's source for Portugal, puts the season and episode number in the programmes' title (ex. "Dexter S1 E02").

Is there any utility that can detect and cut that sort of data when available, and paste it to the proper tag, for the Enhancer to read it?

Let me start off by saying that I have been very pleased with all the wiz plugins and utilities I've gotten to date. Even despite the incredibly long delays, I like movie wizard a lot. I just know my wife is gonna quack about it taking forever to start up.

I searched the forums as I futzed around with it yesterday, and didn't see any similar problems.

Any how, the symptoms:
It typically takes over a minute to start the movie wizard gui from within config, standalone, or to initialize the plugin from within pvrx2.

When in the configuration applet (either stand-alone, or from within gb-pvr's plugin config, it takes about a minute of time each time I click onto the manage content tab from any other tab.

When I delete a record out of the database using the manage content tab, it takes about a minute for it to get back to me.

Finally, I'm not sure if this is related, but when I do a information lookup, and I pick alternatives, if I don't pick and alternative and I hit cancel, the applet crashes. But it gives me the option to save my changes as it goes down.

I have less than 150 records in the database. I am storing the images in the database.

Any suggestions or questions?

Hi,

Just wondering what the consensus is on the TX Mus these days? Is it the preferred option? I'm currently still using Cyberlink.

Cheers

Hi, Just upgraded to latest release, all works well on pc. If i try to view tv on the mvp box thingy i get a blank screen, then the mvp will either reeboot or will start playback of whichever video i last watched on it....

Have had a look round the forum and cant find a post that seems to relate to this problem, any suggestions greatfully recieved...

I'm getting kicked back to the menu screen when I try and play a video_ts folder (showing as dvd extension) from the video library. it's also happening with iso files. I think this started with the change from v1.3 to v1.4 but cant be sure.
getting this in the logs

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Hi!

Firstly, credits to Martin who has made such an awesome plugin to PCH! A really great achievement which has come a long way since I tried it last.

I have a problem though with ts files recorded on my GBPVR server that contains AC3 audio. All ts files with "standard" audio work fine. And that ts file that does not play in mvpmcx2 does play fine in PCH using the standard player over SMB.

I can provide the ts file for download if someone needs it for troubleshooting. However I still hope that it is some sort of configuration issue...

Any ideas?

Query 1
I installed the updated MS runtime VCRedist_X86.zip first as recommended
and then tried to install GBPVR Version 1.4.7 on a windows XP system.

The installation does not complete due to this error: "Could not write GBPVR InstallDIR to key /Software/DEVNZ verify you have sufficient access to that key".

I am the only person on this system with full admin rights so could someone please explain this cryptic error message and what I have to do to get this installed? I have already gone thru the FAQs found at:
“http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FAQ/FAQ" with no answers to this issue.

Query 2
Last question since I could not find my EXACT tuner in the digital tuner HW list delineated in the FAQS" Is the AverTVHD Volar Max USB tuner supported by GBPVR? The list just says Aver USB tuner.

Thanks in all in advance.

A couple of times I have noticed a increasing time difference between the video/audio tracks. This occurs during live TV viewing. To me it seems the video is fine (not slow or a bit fast) but the audio is the one lagging. If I go back out to the tv guide and select the program again everything is fine. I have recorded numerous movies/episodes in the last few days and haven't noticed the sync issues with any of them.

In my last post I mentioned I am running a new Vista setup with the latest GBPVR, but never noticed this before rebuilding the server.

Thanks

I recently rebuilt my GBPVR box for the latest version, but I noticed that I haven't been able to view any of my AVI files as before. These are movie files which I could view with the old setup (the build from 8 months ago). When I select the file and click play, the MVP stalls for a minute then goes back to the base MVPMC screen.
I know the MVP unit doesn't support AVI files, and the back end has to do on the fly processing to convert it over.
I have 300+ 700MB avi files of my movies and prefer to find a way to make these play rather than convert them over to a MVP supported formated.

Backend GBPVR running on Windows Vista ultimate if that makes any difference.

Thanks!
