I get no sound when playing a UK Freeivew recording in GB-PVR on Windows 7. I do get sound using WMP on the same machine.

sub Wrote:The decoders you need depend on what is in that specific .ts file. For DVB-T in the UK, you'd need an MPEG2 video decoder, and a MPEG1 Layer 2 audio decoder, exactly same as it would if you were recording to a .mpg or .dvr-ms file.

I recently installed gbpvr on my system and I started playing around with and it seems to work. I'm running windows vista home on my system. I ran the all of the instructions to install the netflix watchnow plugin and I am able to enable the plugin under the config utility but I don't see it as a option that I can select when I start the gbpvr software. Any help would be appreciated.

My GBPVR machine has been running flawlessly for over a year so I thought I would have a go at screwing it up.

My only real problem with my current system is drive space. I'm using a 500GB drive that is almost always full. I often travel for a weeks at a time plus I have a bad habit of hording shows (175 Simpsons last time I looked).

I have a bunch of old P3 and P4 systems lying around and should be able to put together a box thats overkill for FreeNas. I would like to buy another 500GB drive and combine it with my existing 500GB drive in a RAID (0?) array to appear as a 1TB drive to GBPVR. Is anyone doing anything like this?

I have no experience with RAID. Do I need a RAID controller card or will FReeNas combine the drives on it's own?

BTW - I realise that RAID 0 is somewhat risky and if either drive fails I will lose the data on both but I'm ok with that (they are just TV shows).

Thanks

Is this page still valid / relevant, I assumed the language features are built in to GB-PVR now?

I notice that last update was 2006!

when i set a machine for client mode, use it, then go back into config and set back to regular local capture card, it doesn't set the tcp part back to tcp://localhost:7968

so you end up with a system halfway between the two, looks like a local install, but tries to control the remote recording service! [and of course not working]

been this way for several releases so just hoping to bump it up for this next release..

I have just bought an Emuzed Angel II dual tuner card off e-bay and set up my 1st gb-pvr. I really like the program but have an issue that I have not been able to tackle on my own. After about 5 minutes the video signal is lost. Dont matter if I am recording or watching live tv the sound continues but the video signal is lost. I dont know if I have something set up wrong or if I have just been sold a bad card. I can kill and restart and the picture shows back up immediately so I am hoping it is not the card. I have tried to scan the forum for every combo of terms I could think of and could not find a post that addressed this issue. Any ideas?

I have an hvr900h usb tuner stick.

I'm trying to run this on an Intel Pentium4, 2.8GHz, 4GB Ram on WinXP Pro with standard onboard graphics.

Due to the type of machine (Super Small Form Factor) there is no way i can put any cards in to help with the graphics performance (GPU etc).

What i want to know is:

1, is this machine just plain and simple, not good enough to do the job and i am fighting a loosing battle? (even though they do say P4 2.4Ghz to play and 2.8Ghz to record is ok)

2, this machine would perform ok, provided i had a decent graphics card?

or

3, is there a way to configure it in such a way using specific codecs etc etc that it will allow it to perform and do it's job with the correct kind of setup applied etc? (i have a lack of understanding here)


I have tried a few different programs (MediaPortal, PowerCinema, WinTV 7, GB-PVR) and i have found WinTV 7 performs the best/fastest. However, it does struggle to keep up and run smoothly still. Misses frames often and CPU clocks at 100%, fans spinning hard and meanwhile the 4GB RAM hardly gets touched.

I do want to use GB-PVR if i can get this to run nicely.

Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks

I've just done a first time install of CS4. I found that the logos and channel names were overlapping in the guide and when I went to the plugin to customize it - I just get a blank screen (skin background).

Hi All,

I've been trying to get a Via based system to do anyting usefull. Problem I'm having is that the only way to play any video type is with mplayer and direct3d. So I tried to use gbpvr as a front end with moviewiz but when I start the ext player mplayer complains it can't initialize direct3d. I'm assuming that gbpvr has exclusive lock on the video output.

So please tell me how all you Via users manage to get this working ?

Thanks
