I've been using the HD-PVR for awhile now and am generally happy with it.
I have a minor issue where, starting Live TV, every once in awhile the audio will go out of sync with video. Changing channels seems to resolve it. It also has never happened with a recording, so I've let it be.
Now that it has been out awhile, are any of you HD-PVR users using other codecs with GB-PVR that might be better?
I quite like weather2, nice work and it works on the mvp now, too. Because of this, I am willing to work on a translation into german. I did start on it, however, on some of the composite text elements, I am not really getting very far.
For example, on the overview page, I don't get Current and Forecast translated. As you might see from this, I am not exactly an xml or skin expert. Furthermore, is all the complex text stuff parsed from accuweather? Or are you able to provide me with a list of the more complex descriptions.
Limitations: I am not going to have a go at the detail pages within the 5-day forecast (yet).
Has anyone had success using a softcam/mdapi + cardreader with a conax smartcard? I tried setting up CnxCam as a mdplugin with an Infinity USBSMART (which can emulate Phoenix and Smartmouse) and actually had it working for a little while in my testrig. But then I tested another softcam, with no success, and later I cannot get the original setup to work anymore. Pvrx2 says "no signal detected" if I try to watch an encrypted channel, and the info-window from Cnxcam says "searching for card". I'm not sure how the cardreader should be set up for my smartcard (from Canal Digital), and what settings to use in Cnxcam ini-file.
If anyone has managed to make a similar setup working I'd very much like to hear from you.
Here is a batch file and registry file to quickly set the GB-PVR Recording Service to "Interact with desktop".
The included "Set Interact with Desktop.cmd" will import the appropriate registry setting and restart the recording service. If you have not disabled UAC, you will need to right click the .cmd file and "Run as Administrator".
Alternatively, if you are not running UAC, you can just double click the "GB-PVR Recording Service (Interact).reg" file and import the setting into the registry. You will then have to restart the GB-PVR Recording Service for the change to take effect.
There is also a .reg file to set it back to the default if you choose to do so.
For those who like to edit the registry manually, the appropriate entries are as follows:
I just bought one of these hdtv recorders thinking it is going to work with gbpvr but in horror it's been a nightmare.
I have tried reading through posts and read about patches etc... so do these patches apply to the latest version on pvrx2?
I've installed all the software and drivers on the disc I have a revision E and only have system default in the h264 drop down.
I have no picture or audio from the recording and really hate this lump of coal....
I downloaded the latest drivers with no luck.
I have a dual core on an 8600gt and video is not smooth using the arcsoft software theatre and I am only recording to the rca video in until I get my hd terminal in a week.
I thought the 8600 decodes hd in hardware?
was the hdpvr a bad choice? does the thing work in gbpvr?
Ok, so I've got GB-PVR 1.4.7 installed on my Windows XP x64 SP2 box. I have two HD Homerun external tuners (though not relevant). It works as I expected. The system running GB-PVR is in my basement so I typically access it through remote desktop. The best I can tell PVRX2 doesn't work over remote desktop. Using overlay I get a blank screen (as expected). Using either VMR9 option the application won't start with the "Sorry, this system does not support the required VMR9 video render". EVR doesn't work either.
I know GB-PVR has a web server for managing recordings, but it doesn't seem to work either. I have the box checked in the config on the misc2 tab set to the default port (7647), but when I go to http://localhost:7647/gbpvr/guide.aspx in either Firefox or IE6.0 I get an "unable to connect" / "Cannot find server or DNS Error". I've also tried changing the port to something else with the same results
Possible relevant facts:
- The firewall on the PC is turned off.
- I'm already using IIS on port 80 for hosting something else
My questions:
- Is there some incompatibility between my setup and the web server application? (like it doesn't work with Win XP x64, or uses IIS, etc)
- Is there a work around for using PVRX2 over remote desktop?
- Is there another way to control it remotely?
I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I've tried everything I can think of.
My HTPC is not connected to the net and there is no EPG for TV. I won't watch TV through the HTPC cos the quality isn't as good so all I want to do is record from the S-Video input on X date at Y time ... just like a VCR scheduled recording.
Is there any plug in for GBPVR or even a stand alone program that'll do that?
I have 2 HVR-1600 cards (second recently installed) and I cannot get the recordings to record properly. If it's say 4:00 and there is one show to record at 4, both tuners will record the show simutaneously. Unfortunately, both recordings end up being glitchy and tough to watch.
If there are 2 different shows on 2 different channels recording at 4, each tuner will record each channel, but both recordings are glitchy and problematic. I have no glitching or problems watching LiveTV
What could be causing this?
I'm using the ATI Codec (as my video card out is an ati x1300)
I know that the Hauppauge MVP and Popcorn Hour are supported what other media extenders will work with GB-PVR? I am somewhat of a novice so looking for something on the simple side like the MVP. The MVP was great up till Comcast went digital on me and now everything is DVR-MS which when converted to MPG loses its audio when streamed to the MVP. So I need a replacement for the MVP. Thinking about building a dedicated HTPC connected to the Flat screen and stereo which would solve the problem.
Thanks in advance
Alrighty. I'm new to GBPVR, but it seems well within the realm of my experience so I decided to giver 'er a try after getting slightly frustrated w/ the interface for Mediaportal. After the troubleshooting to first get a reliable xmltv EPG solution and then finding out my HDhomerun needs a little bit longer dwell time when scanning channels, GBPVR seemed to work just fine. I thought "great!" I then went to try some other settings (like encoder/decoder choices) and now when I try to watch live TV, it pops up with the channel and program info on the bottom but no video and after about 1.5seconds of sound, the program crashes. I've done enough fiddling (deleting/uninstalling/installing from scratch) that now I'm beginning to think the small window of proper operation was the fluke.
In the map EPG/digital channel page, I can click on some of the channels in the list on the right and see a preview of the video just fine. There are also some channels that after a few seconds of video preview the program crashes as well. I haven't found anything really identical to my problem in the forums, but then "crash" brings up a lot of unrelated issues.
I've attached the logs from when the preview window crashes, when live tv crashes, and the text file mentioned in the "dr watson-esque" windows crash report. Anything else I should mention to get help get to the bottom of this issue?
