I've finally gotten my HVR-1600 setup in GBPVR on the ATSC tuner. The analog side has been working for a while but I hadn't taken the time to setup the ATSC tuner until now (long story).

This weekend, I was able to setup the ATSC side in Config. That was fairly straightforward.

Then going into PVRX2, I've found a real problem with the audio on the ATSC channel. I can tune to an ATSC channel and watch the video portion perfectly. Looks great! But the audio portion in GBPVR is nothing more than a bunch of loud squeals and clicks. (I don't know how else to describe it.) I have to mute the sound quickly, because I am afraid I will blow a speaker.

Am I missing something in GBPVR config that I should be aware of? This has got me confused and frustrated. Any ideas on where to start looking?

FWIW - The HVR-1600 audio is working fine when I use WinTV7 and Windows 7 MCE to watch the same ATSC stations, so I am assume it must be something in GBPVR that I don't know about yet.

Thanks for any help!

Hi ,
When I try to start the PVRX2 I get the System does not support VMR9 video render error. I checked the dxdiag and Direct X 9 is installed.
My video card is ATI Radeon X800 Pro 256MB (TV is connected through S-Video)
I don't have the driver cd for the video card so I followed the following link and downloaded the "Catalyst Software Suite" and installed it.
logs are attached to the thread.
Could someone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

I know there are a few HDPVR users recording HDTV so I am looking for info on how you are converting your .ts recordings in pvrx2?

I have seen some bluray rips converted to h264 1280x690 at 23.975 fps bitrate 1,536 kb/s 1:53 hours that look great and have a file size of 1,570 megs

Is there a mencoder of ffmpeg command line that you are using in gbpvr that will do something like this?

Thanks for any info or help to get me in the right direction.

1- Is there a utility that can be run after EPG runs to update the Search Guide table so that it doesn't take so long to bring up the Search Guide when you run it (it only takes a long time the first time you run it each day)?

2- is there a way to turn off folder creation so that each program that is recorded is not put in its own separate folder but rather in one common folder?

3- is there a utility or a variable that can be set that will create a file name not only using the program name but also the episode name (like in the tv guide when highlight a program it show program name, a dash, and then the episode name)?

Hello,

I purchased a new computer, 3.0GHz Quad-Core CPU, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB harddrive, HDMI out on Motherboard, vista X64 ultimate. Installed the newest version of GB-PVR and started using it, and while watching MKV files of 720p video, all is fine for about 5 minutes, then video freezes and audio continues. I installed the k-lite mega codec pack before installing GBPVR.

I was using system default for decoding, I have changed them to everything under the SUN, but video still locks up.

Previous system was only a dual core with 3GB RAM, and 1TB hard drive, but it did have PCE16x Video card. Vista x32 basic.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks GOD, I still have my old system in case I need to put back the old system.

Thank you,

Bill

Hello,

Forgive me if this information that I'm looking for is posted somewhere but I cannot seem to find the correct information or tutorial on how to accomplish.

Here is the scenario:
I have many TV shows stored on a large hard drive. I would like to be able to view information regarding the show and the episodes contained within when viewing through gbpvr. I need to know what plugin/script/core component to use to grab this info from imdb or whereever to make it available to gbpvr. I also need to know what the directory structure and file naming convention needs to be to accomplish this. Right now I have the following directory structure: SHOW NAME / SEASON # / episode files. I have no consistent file naming convention so I will change to whatever is required to get it to work.

Currently all these shows are access through gbpvr Video Library core component.

Any help and/or guidance to a correct tutorial is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Greetings all,

Forgive me if this questions been asked before. I've searched and could not find an answer to my question.

Ive just installed windows 7 and installed gb-pvr and everything works great.

My question.

On my old setup of winxp and The previous version of gb-pvr I used to dump the captured .ts files into a single common folder. Now with gb-pvr 1.4.7 it creates a seperate folder for each capture.

I know in the previous version there used to be a chack box I could check to have GB-PVR not create the folders for each capture. I can not for the life of me find it in the new 1.4.7 GB-PVR.

Can someone point me to where this setting is?

1. Found a nice trick to force waiting for a shutdown or startup script using just gpedit.msc.
i haven't tested how long these cmds will wait,but they start before logon in startup and after desktop disappears on shutdown..
[EDIT: seems it does run scripts, but i can't get it to wait for recording completion..]

Startup/Shutdown Scripts:
1.) Start, Run, gpedit.msc
2.) Select Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
3.) Double Click Shutdown
4.) Click Add, and browse to the script.
5.) Click OK, and OK again.
6.) Close Group Policy.
7.) The script should now be run on shutdown.

it just adds an entry to

it doesn't intercept the 'suspend' from settings menu tho, Sub forces the suspend....

I have configured GBPVR to use the acamd (v0.6.11) plugin using the 'mdapi summer' package. It works but every time I click live tv it starts with a windows installer window 'please wait while windows configures gbpvr'. Like you see when using 'config'. It also does this when zapping to another channel. The mdapi tray icon displays immediately and opens multiple instances and als multiple acamd icons, but they disappear when you point the mouse pointer on top.
When I start at an unencrypted channel and zap to an encrypted channel it works, but if I start on a encrypted channel it displays 'this channel is currently encrypted'. If zap to the unencrypted and back it also works. Also no 'please wait while windows configures gbpvr' windows in this case.
I am using the KNC One dvb-c device and Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Like the title says: LiveTV or TS file playback using any of FFDshow's codecs, or CoreAVC (the two H264 codecs installed) all result most of the time in displaying only the top left of the video image - the bit containing BBC HD and now much more.

Anyone else had/resolved this? Thanks.
