Is there a way of using 2 HDHomeruns to have a 4 tuner setup on the same PC in GBPVR. Lets say to record 3-4 programs at once or record 3 while watching 1?

Or do I need to run 2 PC's each with an HDHomerun?

I've just finished updating my digital tv lineup configuration so that
the GBPVR TV Guide contains only those channels that actually work
for me, e.g. I removed pay-per-view, HD channels, etc.

However, when I use Search Guide I still get shows in the results
that reference these removed channels. Is the only way to fix this
to somehow filter out these channels from my epg input file?
Or is there another alternative?

If I need to filter channels from the epg xmltv file, what general
purpose filter program is recommended?

I have ran gbpvr for plus 2 years without issue. But my xp crashed and reinstalled with the latest version of gbpvr and I get the message "Sorry your system does not support the required VMR9 video render".

The recording status icon comes up and tuning assistant finds all the channels, but no live tv. Have direct x 9.c installed. Win tv works, but I can't stand it.

Am using an hauppage wintv 1600 on analog.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm sure this is really basic for many of you but I'm a bit new at this how do I change the @songName in the screen saver to something that I control?

I do not know how to write a plugin, but thought it would be cool if someone could develop one to show the times the International Space Station and Space Shuttle would be flying over your area. The data can be had here http://www.spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata...index.html Any takers?

question and maybe idea for a plugin is there a way to build a plugin to allow printing of photos to a default printer when viewing photos?

First thanks to all for helping me get the two tuners in the Avermedia Duet recognized and running under GB! That part is done. My next issue is a video "glitch" every 5-10 minutes or so, particularly on a full HD program. Happens at the exact same point during playback every time, so I suspect the recording itself is compromised. Never had the problem when using the HVR-1250 single tuner capture card. I'm currently using the MS mux. I'm going to try using the TS mux and see if I get different results.

My system: GA-MA78GM-S2H 780g motherboard with onboard ATI Radeon HD3200+, AMD X2 4800+ CPU, Windows XP, 4 GB Ram, Samsung SATA 500GB HDD 5400 rpm. I think I have plenty of "horsepower" for recording two HD streams from the capture card at once. I'll do some experimenting over the next few days and report back. (For anyone trying to use this card with GB in the future.) Any suggestions are welcome.

I jumped on the refurb PCH A-100 and just started setting it up last night. I wanted to say Great Job and Thank You to Martin and Sub. This really works great!
I do have one question about files in the GBPVR Video Library. I have a bunch of videos in the .m4v format. When I select one with the "Play" button or the "Eject" button I get the PCH "!" triangle and a "could not play" message and it falls back to the video library screen. If I append a ".avi" to the end of the file, I get the same thing with the play button, but the eject key will play the file. These files play fine through the PCH interface via a mapped share.

Is this a limitation of the file format, or do I need an additional tag in config.xml that says not to transcode these files, or something?
Thanks,
Leaded

Can the earlier version be installed over 1.3.11?

If a clean install is needed, are there any issues when completely removing GBVPR?

I won't bore you with my reasons for wanting to do this - suffice to say I came close to kicking my PC to death last night after upgrading to 1.3.11.

thanks.

Hi all, I guess this is a codec question but I'll start with my configuration then some background, and finally the problem I have.

Config:

Hauppauge winTV-HVR 3000
ATI x1900AIW
Two AMD 2214 dualcore cpus
4GB ram
Win XP Pro SP2
I have 2 displays connected to the x1900, main monitor is a AOC LCD the 2nd monitor is A Hasper 42in Plasma

GBPVR V1.3.11
Cyberlink codecs from power DVD 7
CoreAVC v1.9.5
and "CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder(ATI)" got the trial version here "http://docs.cyberlink.com/cinema/ati/h264_decoder/enu/index.jsp"

Background:

My goal is to be able to watch New Zealand Freeview TV in another room on the Hasper Plasma, and be able to have someone else still able to use the computer with the other monitor. So far only 2 programs come close to allowing this "DVBviewer and GB-PVR" but this is were I like GB-PVR better, as there is a useful start on other monitor check box, and it supports the Hauppauge remote.

The main problem I have though is with performance.

The Power DVD7 codecs are not hardware accelerated and it skips & is out of sync with the audio (oddly Power cinema works much better)

The CoreAVC codec is much better but:
still seems to get out of sync overtime
and there is a known problem with changing the channel( I have seen it discussed else ware)
Work around is to go back to the EPG and select the new channel there.
Also this codec seems to have a problem with the Channel "C4" it will display for a bit then a No signal detected error appears. odd since all the channels come from the same transmitter.

Then I found the holy Grail of codecs "CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder(ATI)" this Cyberlink/ATI codec is meant to have Hardware Acceleration for ATI x1000 series cards. and it works very well ... with DVBviewer CPU drops to ~3% nice in sync audio and no skipping frames. (EDIT: 3% is wrong is more like 30% sorry I made an error)

After adding it to the Config.xml file it can now be used in GB-pvr, but has similar problems to the CoreAVC codec except the No signal problem happens on more of the channels and this often results in a not responding program.

Do I need to change any other settings to get this codec working better?

And can GB-pvr be setup to respond to the remote even if another program is the active window?
