Ok so i have been really interested to know if its worth testing Win 7 for GBPVR client use.

My tale begins with having one of the 780G board (Well its a 790GX so a little faster and 128mb sideport mem) and had major problems with XP and getting it to work right with my setup as a client. This related to the codec issues and getting playback smooth.

So on to Vista, and after tweaking with ATI setting and FFdshow setting i managed to get decently good playback and am mostly happy.

There are still some minor issues and wondering if there is any real gain or benefits to using Win 7 Vs. Vista

I get this message in the config ap when I try and scan for channels:

"Unable to start bda device (failed to locate configured capture device)"

I think it's because GB-PVR isn't looking for the Win7 drivers for the card. Attached a filtercheck log what is required to "add" the driver as one that can be used?

For the past few days I have had trouble submitting message replies, the board goes into a wait state and so I resubmit which give a duplicate message error but at least I am active again. I get this at work and home from different ISP, and in linux and Windows. Is anyone else seeing this?

If you wait long enough the forum will actually allow the resubmit as likely happened to sub yesterday. http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=42810

During Live Tv there is slight blurring of movements. Typically people walking or making body movements.
Faster movements become more blurred.
Recordings are much more blurred on even slow movements.

I have tried the recordings on another pc and the result is the same.
I have stuck to defaults as much as possible.

Is this hardware or a software setting i have got wrong?

My config is:

Hauppauge WinTv PVR2 usb connected to Pentium 4 - 3.0Ghz HP notebook, 1 gig ram, 80gig hdd, Radeon 9100 vga, win xp pro SP3.
GBPVR 1.3.11

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I was using GBPVR just fine with Comcast analog and a Hauppauge PVR-150, but they're converting to all digital. I got a Comcast tuner (DTA - digital transport adaptor), hooked up and receiving signals with GBPVR on channel 3.

Now I need to be able to change channels with the 150's IR Blaster, and here I'm having problems. There are two parts: 1) Getting the IR Blaster to talk to the Comcast DTA. 2) Getting GBPVR to change channels with the IR Blaster.

#2 is perhaps easier, so let's do that first. If I'm not mistaken, in GBPVR Config I should set the recording Source to "Fixed-Channel, External Tuner" with Constant Channel 3. Which Channel Changer should I use? There's no option that seems appropriate for my PVR-150 (it's not MCE). Should I use ".exe Changer Plugin" with IRBControl.exe ?

But I can't test that until I get part #1 working.

BlastCfg has only one CodeSet for Comcast (0085), and it doesn't work for the DTA, a Dolby DC50X. I've verified the 150's IR receiver works; it can change channels in their WinTV (important since the Blaster uses the same connector). The blaster (transmitter) bud flickers when I test it with Blaster config, but it has no effect on the DTA. I can change channels on the DTA using its own remote control. Does anyone know how to change its channels using the IR Blaster? (I realize this issue has nothing to do with GBPVR, but it's what I use, and perhaps someone here has solved it. TIA!)

Some silly little changes in video and audio pids on some channels today, so I have attached a scan.cache with the new E4, More4, etc settings.

I started a film and the mediaPC got totally locked.
I had to restart the pc the hard way, but after the restart I tried to start GB-pvr again but got unhandled exception.

So I opened config.xml - totaly ruined!
I attach it in a scares hope that it is possible to fix...
I doubt it is possible, so the secondary plan is to use an old file, I have one 6 months old, for 1.3.7, Can I use that one and just update the version number or how do I save the situation in the best way?

(When I'm done I will create an automated backup on the gbpvr-folder)

Hi

How do i delete items in the Video folder (same for Photo and Music folders) from the MVP client, i notice there is a "confirm on delete" for Video in the setup but cant see how to do it from the remote...

Hi

I have my EWA setup to login, i notice there is also a guest account.

However is there a way (future request) to have something to either bypass the login (like a GUEST button) that then shows the status of the server, space left and basic no secure info and maybe allow other things like download of stuff recorded.

Or at least to have on the login screen to show the status of the GBPVR if its recording etc... and space left.

Maybe have a config page in the EWA location that says what this page shows etc...???

I'm a newbie to this so please be patient :-)

I have just spent most of the day installing and setting up GBPVR rev 1.3.11 with a Haupage Nova-S-Plus for use with the UK's FREESAT service.

I am using DVBGUIDE to capture the EPG and this seems to work OK and GBPVR seems able to load the resulting file OK and display channels.

However, when I click "map digital channels to EPG channels" it often crashes and takes everal attempts before it suceeds but the result is not very helpfull.

DVBGUIDE produces a seperate XML file with the mapping data in it (ie BBC1 is 101, etc) - is there no way that I can use this??

The second issue is what seems to be a common problem - missing multiplexor filters - the docs say that if I am running SP1 or above it already has one installed. I also have installed the WinTv app but MuxChecker finds nothing.

Despite this I can record OK and view Live TV from a client - looks very promising.

Any advise very welcome.
