Hi all,

just done major rebuild for GBPVR 1.4.7.

Have been following with interest threads re .ts files for ages so decided to commit on this rebuild. As I was rebuilding/playing I had Live TV working fine over my MVP's with .ts mux.

(Having done the catch all setting for MVP transcode 'false' in config and Mac defaults.)

So this was all working fine whilst I played but now that I've cranked whole system up and committed to it I've now lost Live TV even though it worked fine the last couple of days. I have played with Live TV delay from 600-2000 and tried both the MVPMC dongles that I was using the other day (dated 30-09-08 & 15-12-08).

Just to check went out for my B-day today and recorded a couple of progs on BDA with .ts 1 x transcoded to Mpeg other one still .ts and .ts plays beautifully via MVP and I have to say much improved quality. I know that for many the MVP is end of road now but in my Kitchen and Bathroom it still rocks!

Can anyone spot what I've missed, to sum up no problem with the .ts to MVP, and before Martin tells me I shouldn't do Live TV to MVP :-) i had it working yesterday fine!!!

Cheers

Steeb

As I have already previously indicated on the NMT forum the SD (PAL) picture quality of the NMT in my case is not as good as that from the MediaMVP. After further testing I noticed that when I play recordings directly from the NMT interface with 576 or PAL the quality is as good as on the MediaMVP while with 720P the picture is blurry/not sharp.
It seems that the upscaling from SD/PAL (720x576) on my Pioneer plasma TV is better then the NMT.
I have tried to use MVPMCX2 with GBPVR on 576 and PAL through the component connection but that does not work. I just get a black screen. Of course I have changed the the display settings in the GBPVR config settings but that does not seems to be the problem.
When looking into the binary file I see the command line options for both 576 and PAL but is it possible that those are not implemented?
Martin, can you shine some light on this problem?

i'm running the latest version (1.4.7) and trying to get live captions to work in ATSC. i'm using multirecord. for later viewing i have ccextractor that gets srt files so that's working fine.

the second issue i have is that even though the captions work fine in time shift live TV (with the intervideo/vmr9 and VMR9 custom settings) the audio switches from HDMI to the directsound (i hear it on the sound card) thus there's no more sound in time shift.

here's the log for time shift (sound not on HDMI but captions OK):

I'm afraid my forum search-fu has failed me.

Several versions ago there was a setting that sub left in place for testing purposes that made it into a release. When choosing shutdown or restart from the main, it would instead just exist to the Desktop.

I'm taking my long weekend (Labor Day here in the US) to clean up little annoyances. I'm afraid I was too lazy at the time to fix this, now I can find the setting.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I just installed a second capture card (pvr 150 mce) mostly because of the IR Blaster so I can control the shaw digital box. I have installed it, configured it using Hip (following the hip guide 2 from the wiki). I have updated my epg to pull the proper channels that I want (including the higher channels above 70 which require the digital box).

So, I am now able to go through the guide and watch the channels as before (channels 2 - 70) but the higher channels I not able to. My thinking was that the tv channel needs to stay on channel 3 and the blaster will be changing the shaw digital box's channel. What it looks like is that when I am in gbpvr and changing the channel, its still changing the actual tuner channel. I think this is the cause of why I cannot watch the higher channels.

What I am missing in the settings of gbpvr so that the actual tuner channel stays at 3 and that gbpvr actually changes the shaw digital box channels instead?

Just to reiterate, I do have HIP configured as per the wiki using the same files as attached in the wiki, the tuners set up with the correct device # in the config, and the epg pulling all the proper channels and mappings.

Please help!

Just tried latest version on win 7 64 bit
I keep getting little sound pops every 5-6 seconds when wathcing live tv, anyone else got this problem ?
I dual boot my machine and my Xp Sp3 install of gb pvr is working great (on the same hardware)

it would be really nice to have the subtitle and description show up in video library osd just like when playing in recordings, if the info is there in metadata or xml.....

and i guess i should make an official request that subtitle be even shown in video library for that to happen... [currently only title and description and genre and running time]

makes client usability greater cuz comskip works great in vid lib, making for an almost complete recordings screen replacement for use in streaming mode..

i had to bump up client caching to get skip free client mode in this release...? [1.4.7]
first time in ages i've had to do anything to make client mode work..

I have a HVR 930 and uses the "c" part. Normaly it records as expected, but occasionally it seems like it is recording, but it only creates a file that is 5 kb. This can happen when i just turn on my media center, open the EPG and hti the record button on a show that is already started.
Yesterday i did this in the second half of a football game, and i think the log looks "funny"(20:53 to 22:15).

Can anyone tell my what's going on?

NB:
I uses MS DVR Mux!

I've made a few minor changes to MovieWiz skin you may want to include in your next update.

Updates include:

• List position info counter (with clickable arrows)
  
• Color remote button info on bottom of screen.
  

Weird issue with HDHomerun scan. Deleted all of my capture sources after upgrading to 1.4.7. Reloading sources to reload channel lineups after many cable company changes. Performed the new load of the HDHomerun software and performed the scan.

My qam.ini now includes the following:
[CABTYPE]
1=All Countries
2=All Frequencies

[DVB]
0=12
1=529250,0,0
2=565250,0,0
3=583250,0,0
4=589250,0,0
5=595250,0,0
6=601250,0,0
7=619250,0,0
8=685250,0,0
9=691250,0,0
10=709250,0,0
11=739250,0,0
12=745250,0,0

Then I proceed to do the digital mapping scan and the config app hangs after scanning the fifth frequency. I have to end the application and have tried everything from restarting to deleting the source and starting again. Same result each time.

Finally I try a manual scan and enter '619250' from the list and the scan begins. The first found entry in entered over and over in a loop to the 'Digital Channels found during scan:' window until the application hangs. I have tried this with all of the entries after '595250' and they all exhibit this behavior.

It never seems to move on to scan other channels on this frequency. (and there are other channels on these frequencies.) Am I missing a config setting?

I've attached the logs folder. There are different messages, but I'm not sure what they are telling me. The 'VERBOSE SIGNAL???' message seems to be in all scans that are having this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
