I've had my system working with PVRX2 and FiOS before but due to an intersting story involving a house flood I've just now started to re-setup my htpc in my theater room after it being dismantled for 5 months and have run into a problem. I can only view one channel in live TV (channel 3) via the FiOS STB (Motorolla QIP2500-3). Whenever I change the channel in PVRX2, the blaster sends the correct info to the STB to change channels but all I get is static. I do however get the correct audio for the channel though. The weird part is that if I change the channel back to channel 3 the static goes away and is replaced with the video for the channel I'm now leaving just before it switches to the next channel. Am I missing a config point or a setup feature somewhere that I just don't remember? I'm running fresh install of v1.4.7 onto a Hauppage PVR150. FiOS set up is coax from the wall to STB and coax out to PVR. EPG is fully updated too. Thanks for suggestions and help.
I am enjoying using the WEB Radio plugin, however I really need to have the capability to use it on my MVP. I have never been fond of UBUStream no offense, just doesn't hit the spot for me.
Therefore I am trying to understand the technique I would need to employ to say use VLC and then save it on the GBPVR server or better still stream directly to MVP. can someone shed some light...
Thanks
EDIT alternatvely web radio being updated to support MVPO would be cool :-)
So, I have worked my way through several versions of GB-PVR, on several versions of windows, and I think that I am getting to be pretty proficient at setting it up.
That said, my last setup (Hauppauge 2250 on a Windows 7 Machine) seems to be giving me some problems.
I can record 2 digital shows at once, I can record 2 analog shows at once, and sometimes I can record one analog and one digital.
But twice now, for some reason I cant explain, digital tuner 1 and analog tuner 1 decide to record shows at the same time (while digital 2, and analog 2 do nothing). From this point on they continue to do so whenever there is both an analog and a digital show being recorded.
In each case the digital show gets recorded, and the analog program does not.
I have checked and re-checked the configuration. The digital tuners are set as Hauppauge 2250 (QAM) devices 1 and 2, and the analog tuners are set to use Hauppauge 2250 devices 1 and 2.
I am using the newest version of GB-PVR, and I am running the newest drivers for my video capture card.
Everything else seems to be working perfectly.
Do you guys have any idea what the problem may be?
I wasn't sure which files you would ask for, so I grabbed all of my logs and my ini files, as well as config.xml)
baaah...title is meant to be MVP controller window...bloody HTPC mini remote keyboard (nothing to do with the 3/4 bottle of wine)
Last two days when I alt=tab is see this task called MVP controller running..is this normal.i've never seen it before.
Have attached a screen grab of the window.
So my refurb turned up tonightand I managed to resist the urge to open the box until after going for a quick bike ride.....all this couch potatoe'ing is taking its toll!
So after playing with it for around 1/2 an hour ignoring the gbpvr aspect I got around to mvpmcx2. I followed the wiki and had it gbpvr'ing in 20 minutes or so...fantastic work well done.
From a fresh eyes perspective I have 2 comments:
The wiki is not to clear on the fact that if you leave the installer at defaults that it will download gbpvr and install it on your server. I had to kill the installer at this point and re-start but unticking the first check boxes....I'm guessing anyone who is going for gbpvr on a PCH has probably already got gbpvr on their server....it's not a critisism just a noob to pch observation.
The other is, once instaled when you go to the network share and run gbpvr you are faced with 3 options: gbpvr, gbpvr network, gbpvr usb...it's prbably in the wiki or forum somewhere but I think it would be good to pre-arm the user with what these mean and why there are 3 options.
So far the only problem I have is that it's fine if I browse network to the mvpmc folder on the share then run the gbpvr file.....but if I map the mvpmc folder as a media source then run gbpvr from there it doesn't launch I'm guessing it's something to do with the naming but I didn't change it, just copied mvpmc to the share name.
may someone pls get me the right direction ? i was using getTunerStatus() some time ago but I neither find my old source nor findig out using it again.
I recently switched over to the new version from an older version. I seem to remember a tag that had the original air date of a show. The only tag I could find in the the new one that somewhat resembled it was premiere. Will that show the original air date? Very rarely a show will not get tagged as new with the *, so I would use the original air date to tell if it was new. Would changing the new show detection to "Date matches AirDate" be better than leaving it on auto?
Settled back to watch Lost Volcano recorded off BBC HD - video is fine and I hear lots of whooshing water and music but there's no dialogue - even though I can see people's lips flapping. It's as if the centre channel is missing.
I hear dialogue when I record other HD programmes but not this one.
I'm running FFDshow Audio decoder for all the H.264 audio decoding, set to do no decoding but to pass through as is because it's connected to a dedicated 5.1 audio processor.
I'm living in The Nederlands and a look for some shop to buy a Hauppaug MediaMVP. Can somebody tell me where I can buy a MediaMVP (Wireless or Wired)? I have already search the internet, but i can't find a shop to buy.
I have also send a mail to different shops those sell Hauppauge products, unfortunately the tolt me that they can't deliver a MediaMVP.
I look also at http://www.tweakers.net and http://www.kieskeurig.nl for a shop. My search for 'MediaMVP' give no results.
I hope somebody can tell my where i most look or where i can buy a MediaMVP.
I recently bought a Dell Studio Desktop, which came with a "Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1200 (Model 71xxx, Hybrid DVB-T)" card. Initially I tried using media centre, but a) it couldn't find any channels, and b) it had zero options for tweaking things.
After some research, came across gbpvr which I installed and tried to set up. Took quite a while to get my head around things, but kinda went like this:
-Found the NZ EPG from mentalindustries, and set that up successfully. I can access the EPG, and at that stage when I searched to map digital channels to EPG channels, THE CHANNELS SHOWED UP! I couldn't see or hear any content, but the channels were being found.
-After some more research, fiddling with settings etc, I realised that I needed a H.264 decoder other than system default. I now have the ffdshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder (and audio decoder for AAC decoder also)
Somewhere in between those two states (can't remember exactly where) - THE CHANNELS STOPPED SHOWING UP!! Now when I try to map the channels, it does not find any.
I am really hoping that someone might know of a setting that I may have changed that may have resulted in those channels not being able to be found! The fact that I used to be able to see them suggests that I do have reception, however that they have gone is weird and very very very frustraiting!
Logs attached (hopefully).
