Hello All,
I have searched these blogs but cant seem to find someone with the same problems as I...
First, I am using two Hauppauge HVR 2250 internal tuners for a total of 4 analog tuners. I'm using GBPVR 1.4.7 and have updated to the newest Nvidia drivers for an FX 5200 along with the newest drivers for the Hauppauge cards (released in August 9, 09 I believe)
I am able to get all 4 tuners to record something, but PVRX2 gui doesnt ever show the video...will just show the metadata at the bottom of a black screen. I can change channels, just no video. Also, trying to play the recordings from the gui just makes the screen flicker a bit then revert back to the main screen. The .mpg files that are created can be played in VLC.
Any ideas? I tried to be as thorough as possible but if I am missing a key piece of info let me know!
Thanks!

hi, sounds like a similar problem to this post http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ck+startup

either using start_pvrx2.exe or shortcut in startup folder, pvrx2 has a black screen. if you have sounds enabled, you can hear the menu click etc. but can't see anything as below :



using v1.4.7 on windows 7 RTM - logs attached. exiting and restarting works but then returns after reboot. probably a windows 7 thing?

appreciate any help

I think it came with my old PVR-150. Is it the ir blaster cable or the remote receiver? I've never used either, but am going to have to start using a STB. Googling for a picture is mostly resulting in a two-headed cable with this attachment and one other, that seems to be a receiver and a transmitter, so I'm not sure which one mine is.



If it's not the IR blaster one, I assume I lost it. Can I just order one from somewhere? Do I need a specific kind, or would any old cable off amazon that says it's an IR blaster or whatever work?

I'd test it out, but I don't have the box yet, and the one tv I still own doesn't work with any remote. Anyway, I'd like to minimize my downtime by ordering a cable in advance if I'm going to need it. Thanks in advance.

When I list all of the files on the hard drive that contains my recorded programs (videos) and click on a file name GBPVR opens but has to be prompted once again from within the software to play the file. This works differently than the other pvr software I've used such as Windows Media Center and Media Player Classic. When these software programs are set to open their file types (dvr-ms etc.) the software opens and then proceeds to play the file. This doesn't happen with GBPVR. The program starts and then I have to go into the video directory in order to play the file. Is there a way in which I can get GBPVR to both open and play the file following a single click on the file name in "My Computer?" By the way, I'm using Vista.

I have gbpvr running on a WHS server with gbpvr client on a windows 7 pc.

I can see the recordings from PVRX2 and even livetv when I use streaming. However, they stutter a lot.

When I try Filesharing, I am able to view the recordings but not LiveTV. I get a blank screen and PVRx2 goes back to the TV Guide.

I can actually goto the shared folder from windows and click and view the small clip in the live buffer directory using Windows Media Player so the file permissions must be okay?

I cannot see anything in the logs but here is a snippet:

As the title really, appart from the BT, are ther any GBPVR advantages to sticking a drive in the A-100?

I had heard of others having a problem with the timestamps showing an hour long show as like 99 days long, but i hadn't had the problem until recently.
Along with this there is some glitching when watching the files, it glitches about every 2-3 sec.

So I got on here to read about how to fix the issue and I saw that 1.4.7 was released.
I downloaded and installed and still have the same problem
With recordings from both before and after the new install.

Also even if the timestamp issue isn't seen the recording still glitches or freezes about every 3 seconds

Any ideas?
I know I should upload a clip but I cannot right now, maybe tonight.
BTW how do I do that?
Oh and what files do I need to upload for troubleshooting again?

Thanks

As somebody who is on the verge of buying a NMT device, what does this new developer program The David Box mean for the existing MVPMCX2 emulation mode on NMT devices? Are they opening up their APIs which will lead to a better integration of GBPVR? Will this be back ported to the existing NMT devices?

Should I be putting off my purchase until Syabas releases the "next generation platform"?

Just when I thought it was safe to make the change from MVP to NMT they throw this in the works...

Hello Guys,

Is there somebody the can tell me of GBpvr supports the E-great?
I read on forums different message about it. Works great the other see works not or bad. I have already buy a E-great NMT today.
Is there any manual or setup note for the E-great. At the GBpvr wiki state a instruction for the Popcorn NMT.
I hope so that the E-great also works fine with GBpvr.

Have somebody experience or deal with it?

Regards,

Hugo

Hi Sub,

I just wanted to report this coincidence.

Lastnight i was recorrding many shows without problem. I went into the guide and decided to cancel an upcoming show and didn't think much of it. I realized 10 minutes later that the light on the HDPVR was off so I thought hey that is short?? I went into the recordings menu and pvrx2 claims it is still recording and I checked the file and it was not getting bigger. I thought the HDPVR had crashed so I turned the power off and on again and went to bed. All my recordings went fine lastnight and when I woke up I thought maybe I triggered something in the guide? I was recording something I didn't want to lose but I thought I will give it a try as it was a long shot anyway/. So I went into the guide and removed some up coming recordings and nothing happened. All was fine so I forgot about it and 10 minutes later I realized the HDPVR light was out and the unit stopped recording and was reported to be recording in the recordings menu.

I tried to record a show in progress and cancel upcoming recordings and so far it is recording fine. I thought I should report it just in case.

Cheers
