I've had this problem pretty much from the beginning, through multiple versions of the software, so it is not dependent on the version. However, I'm currently running the latest.
When I'm watching a DVD and hit stop, it goes back to the main GBPVR menu like it should. However, at this point if I hit any button on the remote, the DVD starts up again. It doesn't matter what button I hit next, it takes me right back to the DVD. Then I hit stop again, takes me back to the menu, and I can navigate the menu fine.
Drives the wife crazy. Sometimes the kids will watch a DVD, hit stop, then take the DVD out. Then the next person to use the remote freezes the app up because it is trying to go back to the DVD, but there is no DVD in the drive.
Hope that makes sense. Any ideas? Like I said, I've been running multiple versions over the years and they all do the same thing, so it is not version specific.
I am not sure whether this relates to problems that others are having, so I will post it separately.
When I have upgraded the software and firmware in HDHomeRun recently, I have often gotten a "no channels found" during the subsequent Digital Channel Scan in GB-PVR. To make a long story short, I have found that something in this process (I am not sure what) is inserting extraneous blank lines in my BDA.ini file, and that is causing the failure.
For example, even though I created it with only one blank line between the sections, it ends up like this:
[SETUP-Main]
This prevents the scan from finding any channels for some reason. At any rate, I simply created the file without any spaces at all, and saved it as a "read only" file, and the problem is solved.
I capture some old VHS recording via an ATI 550 capture card (coax). Picture and sound are great when displaying the fixed channel feed, but becomes corrupted (more than the original, wich is not so great but stable) at times. The same excerpts may look ok when recorded again.
Hi, having problems setting up your HIP installation? double key presses with MCE remote? don't want to install a strange driver? no problem..not needed..
Well, it's not as hard as it used to be, no alternate drivers needed, no double presses anymore either...
You can have any remote you wish, or just use the MCE remote if you have one..
all MCE remotes can be set as remote #1,#2,etc. and you can tell windows to only respond to remotes with that number setup...HIP will see all of them regardless of that setting..WIndows' defaults are to listen to id#1, and all remotes come setup as id#1
There are 2 methods for disassociating a MCE remote with MCE, do either #1 or #2 below...
[when using a non-MCE remote, just skip to setting up HIP]
as long as there's no CodeSetNum# with a value of 1 or 0 you're good to go..
if your remote itself is still set to id#1, you're all set...continue to hip setup..
Hip will learn codes from any remote including MCE ones and not send double keys..
To undo reg setting, just set back to '1' or '0'
Or, if you want to use 2 MCE remotes in same room, change the remote's id's:
#2. To set your MCE remote to a different remote id# :
"Press and hold the DVD Menu key on the remote then press a number button (1-8) for 5 seconds. Remotes with visible LED signal indicators will blink twice to confirm the change. "
Now your remote has the ID# of the number button you pressed after dvdmenu...
Windows default is set to respond to id#1, so so now it won't use your remote for MCE operation, but it's still available to HIP...as long as you don't set it for id#1 windows will ignore it and hip will have full use of it.. you'll have to 're-learn' the codes in HIP as they are now changed!
[the signals the remote sends out are different]
As long as your remote id# and windows remote id# are different, you're set...windows will ignore it.[but not HIP]
Pictures and brief HIP setup to follow...
just flushing out some layout here before adding to wiki..
works with vista supposedly too..
still have to check out mce dongles on win7.
I recently purchased an Asus PE9400 to use with my new computer. I have the most recent drivers. I can get it to work with the provided software (Arcsoft TotalMedia 3.5) and it records and plays just about anything. Yet the features of GBPVR are much better overall (its almost necessary that I have the Schedule Direct epg). Yet, I have run into a problem.
I record a show in GBPVR and if it is coming from one of the QAM channels I have no problems, even in HD. Sound and Picture are both clear. Yet when I try to record analog, I get a pulsing hiss over the entire recording. This does not happen in TotalMedia. I am assuming it is some sort of codec issue and I've set GBPVR to use the codecs from TotalMedia. This worked, for the first recording and only for the first time that I played it in GBPVR and VLC. Then, as if part of some cruel joke, the hissing came back on the file that just played clear. None of my other videos do this. I have attempted to play it in both gbpvr and vlc and they both get a hiss after both not having it before. I'm at a loss really.
Also, this CAN happen with a digital recording if I don't play it from inside GBPVR. If I attempt to open a ts file in vlc I get the same hiss.
I am using the most recent version of GBPVR (1.3.11). If you need any other information please let me know. I will attach my logs. I'm assuming its a codec problem, yet I don't know how to fix it.
I'm have a Nova-T-500 with remote receiver and am using a Logitech Harmony remote set up to emulate the Hauppauge 43 button remote.
With the following in IRRemote.ini the OSD volume control is displayed but pressing the Up/Down volume buttons does nothing:
VOLUP=+
VOLDOWN=-
With the following in IRRemote.ini the OSD volume control doesn't appear at all but the remote successfully controls the volume, I suspect this is bypassing GB-PVR and some other app is controlling the volume.
VOLUP={app(0xa0000)}
VOLDOWN={app(0x90000)}
The following doesn't do anything at all:
VOLUP={OemPlus}
VOLDOWN={OemMinus}
Has anyone had any joy getting the OSD working with the volume control and mute?
