I've just had to rebuild my system and I'm getting an error from of "Sorry, the system does not support the required VMR9 video render"

I thought I'd installed all the pre requisites but I;ve obviously missed something vital.

Any ideas?

I had rebuilt my computers and here is my current setup:

Server: Windows Home Server

GBPVR Computer: Windows XP Pro, Radeon 9200SE, PVR-150

2 MediaMVP

I installed ran in a few snags during install, but I eventually manage to install everything without errors. There are a few issues remaining:

1- Slick skin: there seems to be a few images missing, as indicated in the log files. I also don't get the same background as the skin preview image, but rather a blue one. Anyway to fix that?

2- Running GBPVR on the computer, the screen will go all black for a second or two from time to time when using the DVI out of the Radeon card. This happens either when viewing videos or just browsing the main menu. For example, scrolling through options on the main menu, the screen disappears every 2 or 3 options. When switching to VGA output, everything works well. GBPVR is the only apps I have problem with DVI out.

3- On the MVP, I can't browse the video library. The Videos are stored on the server, so in the config I have define [Videos] to \\Server\Videos. In the Video Library on the MVP I see [Videos], but nothing happens when I select it. Browsing the Video Library works fine from the GBPVR Computer.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I have an ASUS U3000 Mini USB card. The drivers and TV signal seem to be okay, because I got to see some BBC news in the little preview window while I was setting up EGB. When I click on Live TV in the GBPVR executable, it just redisplays the menu, instead of playing a channel. It doesn't show an error message, so I don't know what to do next. Any ideas please?

I can't record from my HD-PVR in GB-PVR.

I've had it working last week, but then I could not playback on my h264 recordings due to my low spec computer.

So I started fiddling around with PowerDVD9 and 8 installing/uninstalling until I got playback working there. Now ARCSoft could not find the HD-PVR so I uninstalled/installed some more until I now can record and view 'live' from ARCSoft.

I've tried to find out exactly where to look but it seems that I get different quirks depending on what I try...

What I have found out:

Selecting a program from the TV-guide shows the correct channel and the picture and sound is fine. Now I can do this a couple of times but sometime even this stops working. (At one time it selected a completely different channel from my HVR-1300 card instead...) Either with having on a black picture or just throwing me back to the TV-guide.

Recording don't work from the Tv-guide nor directly from "live view" (I have not enabled live view in GBPVR).

The top-light on HD-PVR never goes on (as it does when recording with ARCSoft)

The only consistent error I get is this:

I have recently bought a new PC which only has PCI express slots so my old Nova 150 had to go.

I can't get DVB-T so require a DVB-S tuner. I have Freeview and I'm not likely to need to record two channels so a dual tuner isn't required.

I like a remote so would be good if that is bundled too.

Plenty of USB slots so that is an option.

Of course it will need to work well with GBPVR...

Any recommendations?

Hey,

I've been a long time user of gbpvr using a Wintv-usb2 recorder under XP Home. I recently moved and had to change cable provider. Verizon does not offer analog cable and requires a settop box. So I have been trying to set up a Hauppauge MCE Remote/IRBlaster to work with GBPVR and change the STB channel.

Using HIP and the alternative drivers for the remote I have been able to get the IR blaster to change channels fairly reliably when in the TV Guide and Live TV (CH + and -) modes.

However, it is not changing channels when I try to record programs. It seems to record video fine, but can't change the channel.

Any ideas how this might happen?

Thanks,

Their is a strange problem with my computer that I have never seen happen before, and it just started happening. I can turn the monitor off (whether manually by pushing the button or using power saver auto shutoff) and everything is fine. The problem comes when the monitor turns back on. For some reason when the monitor turns back on the computer restarts. I can't seem to figure out what is causing this to happen. Any suggestions? :confused: Would hardware information be helpful?

OK, I've a really weird thing going on. I can boot up and start the GBPVR recording service, and I can launch and connect my MVP, and everything works just fine. However, if I attempt to launch PVRX2 on the PC itself, the system hard locks almost immediately. I'm not certain of exactly when this behavior started, as I don't usually run the program locally. I have two MVPs and an NMT, so virtually all of my activity is done remotely.

Since the system hard locks, I'm getting absolutely nothing in any of the logs, including system logs. Since accessing everything remotely works just fine, I am guessing that it must be something with the local video rendering, but no other applications cause the system to hang. Any ideas as to what GBPVR could be calling/launching that would wack the system out so? It locks within 3 to 5 seconds of launching PVRX2, so I never get any kind of display.

I'm running GBPVR 1.3.11 on a Windows 2003 server with SP2. This worked in the past without an issue, and I haven't updated any video drivers in the recent past (I'm running an Nvidia 6200 with drivers dated May 2008). The only thing I've installed (other that GBPVR) in recent months is Microsoft security updates (at least that I can remember).

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

Would anyone want to take over the code for ML2/ML3.

I could either give it to an individual or load it to an Open source library (code.google.com seems to work pretty well).

I'm not sure how much of it would lend itself to the GBPVR Library project (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=39487) but some parts of it would.

I don;t have the time to develop for it anymore with the little one. Id this I'd prefer to open it up, rather than give to one person, so at least if I got the urge I could get in there and do some more.

Also I think someone would need to "own" it to take control of it's direction to make sure it doesn't sprawl and become an unwieldy beast.

The hat is off again to sub that he manages to deal with the whole system (rather than just a simple part) and kids and a "day job"

Thoughts?

anyone want to codevelop 'videos' with me? im going to open source it and put it into the gbpvr library and change the GPL or LGPL.

i dont have enough time to keep up with it, and if i ever decide to stop i want the plugin to continue.

and i think it would be better if more than one person was developing it as well.

ill try and get the code up in the gbpvr library asap, i just need to go through the code and remove "Reven" from it

i would love to see the gbpvrlibrary a mature library with a few rock solid plugins, ideally the following plugins
- videos
- music
- pictures/photos
all the same type of interface, and all community developed.

and hopefully this will also help with the online community thing im interesting in doing....

so any takers?
