I was wondering if a local Aussie might be able to point me in the right direction?
I am having trouble getting GB-PVR going. Reading the Wiki and the considerable amount of material I can understand much of the more complicated issues but I canât get started. A bit like I am a good driver but I canât find where to put the ignition key! Without going into details could some kind sole put their hand up to give me a nudge in the right direction. I have downloaded what I thought was all that was needed and can get up Config but all the options are greyed out. ScanChannel is I think the Analogue while I want the Digital. Hope for just a little help. Ken of Adelaide
I only found gbpvr yesterday and I really like the look of it. I did have an issue with interlacing on HD DVB-T channels, but by reading this forum, I managed to sort it out by installing CoreAVC. To be honest, I'm still none the wiser what I actually did, becaused it just worked after a straight install.
The one issue I haven't been able to resolve is the s-video connection I'm trying to establish. I don't seem to be receiving any signal at all. I read in one thread, of there being a utility which identifies which device is which. I ran that and 15 minutes late, it still hadn't detected anything. I'm not sure how long it's supposed to take. I'm therefor not sure I have GBPVR configured to the right input. I've tried s-video s-video2 on Device 1 and Device 2, but it makes no difference. I still end up with a blue screen and silence.
I've previously tried Media Portal. I did find there that the sound and picture would break up, although the picture is more prone to it. The signal from the paytv box isn't low though. There are no issues with that at all. It works fine if I connect it direct from the pay-tv box (Austar, satellite) to the TV.
I've attached all my log files, partly because my understanding is that's what we're supposed to, but also because I haven't yet worked out what gets recorded in each log.
My next step is to configur IR blasting, but unltil I can get this other problem resolved, there's no real need for it.
After upgrading using the NMTInstall, I received a black screen on first start-up. Upon discovering that the MVPMCX2 binary was still 7zipped in the share folder (and thus on the NMT as well) and unzipping it manually, the menu screen loaded successfully. I was then able to play stored content without issue. However, when I attempt to watch LiveTV, I get various levels of failure. Sometimes, after selecting a channel and hitting watch it just locks up, but usually it will go to a black screen and then hang. Sometimes the Analog PVR-150 tuner will work, other times it goes black and locks up. The HDHomeRun tuner worked once but now just goes black and locks up, It all works fine on the Server PC.
Output of mvpmcx2 from the command line is attached as well as startmeup and config.xml. One side note, what are the other mac addresses in config.xml that are not the default or my NMT? I don't recognize them nor did I put them there, but it fails completely if I remove them.
This works great to get the buttons to appear, but that is all they do. I want them to be able to be selected with a mouse, and have the list page up or down. But, I don't want them to become a focusable item.
How do I get the ScrollUp and ScrollDown buttons to appear like the ones in the Music Library, Recordings, etc., that allow you to page up/down in the list, but not become a focusable button? This is where I'm having difficulties.
I've tried the 3 seperate ListPositionInfo, ListScrollUp, and ListScrollDown CompositeImages like the mentioned items above have in their skin.xml files, but I can't get anything to appear.
For example, if my list is called, ExampleList, I would have the following three CompositeImage XML tags:
One of the shows I select to record season (in the same weekly time slot) does not show up in the pending list. If I select to record once, it does show in the pending list. There are no source conflicts, the only thing is the show I am recording, The Big Bang, is showing reruns now, not a new episode. Does it have to be a new episode for record season to function?
My setup is showing it's age. I have 2 MVP's, a PVR-500 and PVR-150. This was all great until I switched out my tube TV for a new 1080p set.
Now I have a couple of 1080p LCD's, and although I have an MVP hooked to one, I rarely use it. My cable company provided a dual tuner DVR that handles the HD channels.
I have been looking for a good time to jump back in update my equipment, and I'm wondering if it has finally arrived.
Does somebody have recomendations regarding upgrading from a SD setup to:
The tuner scares me more then the NMT. The comments I've read about it are all over the board.
I live in the USA, and have a mix of wired and wireless MVPs, not sure if NMT's will work well wireless. I am really missing comskip, and GBPVR. I'd like to hear from somebody that has a multi-tuner setup recording digital HD QAM channels in the US.
I most of the weekend converting to digital, TV's, Tuner Cards, STB's and a couple of DTA's.
I managed to get my USB UIRT changing the channel on a DTA (pace dc50x). Everything seems to be working with one exception.
It's been so long since I fooled with it that I've forgotten how to reset my TV guide. I went to Schedules Direct and changed my line up from analog and replaced it with the digital package. After that I updated the EPG, it looks the same to me?
Is there something I have to do with xmltv?
Do I need to empty the EPG and just re-setup recordings?
Should I just delete the whole capture source and redo it all?
Any thoughts from those of you who have gone before??
Hallo together,
first of all, sorry for my English, I am from AUSTRIA (NOT Australia!) .
My new project is a HDTV HTPC with GBPVR. I get the TV-Signal by DVB-S (Satallite). I searched for the perfect hardware, but I didn´t found anything.
I talked to some people who uses Mediaportal, because the channel change is very long, and then I found the GBPVR, because this should be faster (is this true?), but no German support.
I prever the following hardware.
Hardware:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4600, 2x 2.40GHz
Graphic-Chip: Gainward BLISS GeForce 9500 GT, 512MB DDR2, VGA, DVI, HDMI, PCIe
RAM: Kingston HyperX DIMM Kit 2GB PC2-8000U (2x1Gb)
Mobo: ASUS P5QL-EM, G43
:eek:TV-Tuner-Card: Hauppauge WinTV Nova-HD-S2, PCI or Digital Everywhere FloppyDTV S2 (can I use those Cards vor HDTV over satallite?)
Remote: Microsoft MCE Remote
Blu ray Drive
Case, cooling, storage is not so important now.
Is this configuration good enough for an HDTV-HTPC? Can I use this TV-Tuner-Card? Is the graphic-Chip good enough? :confused:
I've got a dual Hauppauge 500mce system that I am running on a standard MS XP home edition. Everything works pretty except the remote which I can not get to work at all. Does anyone have a tip or a suggestion to get this to work or am I just screwed?
