I'm using Hauppauge HVR-1600. When I tried to mapp the digital channels to EPG channels at "capture sources" tab, I got this error message: "The microsoft MPEG-2 Demultiplexer does not seem to be available on your machine. don't ignore this error, BDA support will not work with out it." When I ran MuxChecker, I did see this message:

"GB-PVR has detected the following multiplex filters on your machine:

Found: ATI MPEG Multiplexer
FILE: C:\Program Files\Common Files\ATI Technologies\Multimedia\atidvcr.dll
VERSION: 9.15.0.20713"

What am I doing wrong?

My EPG was working fine using mc2xml until very recently. At one point, it was just suddenly cut off and had no data for anything at all, but I deleted mcs2xml.dat and xmltv.xml and then reran mc2xml.exe.

That worked, except now three channels list "no show details" in the EPG, and I can't figure out how to get them back. I can see the channels listed in the xml file, but it's just not showing up in GB-PVR.

I tried once again deleting those two files and rerunning mc2xml.exe, but it doesn't make any difference. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Feature in skin design
Possibility to, in the main menu skin, adjust, decrease the zoom level of the active button size.
If I want to make a skin design with not so much "zoom" I have to decrease font size so much, so the font looks really ugly (pixelated) when show in GUI.

first and foremost, i would like to thank all those who helped me setup my GBPVR especially MTP and chris for the bat file..... thats many of you guys with the info you post on this board, you helped and didn't even know it.

my setup>>>

AMD 9800 w/ASUS m3a78-e
HD-PVR 1212
MCE ir receiver
Logitech 880
DirecTV H-20 receiver
W7 os

my biggest hurddle was to get the MCE ir to blast the channels correctly... i could get the HD-PVR to record, but often times it was the wrong channel.

here's what MTP helped me with..... he was able to determine that the drivers provided with microsoft were mainly the problem. i attached a file that saved me..... from that file you have to pick the one that best suits your situation (CPU/64bit/x86)

now the tricky thing is that in W7 it requires that all drivers have to be digitally signed.... the work around is as follows, reboot the computer, press F8 while it is rebooting, there will be a screen that pops up with some options, select the option that allows you to install drivers that are NOT digitally signed. your computer will boot up as usual, then you can install the new MCE ir driver. once that is installed, setup the blaster as usual and it should work....

only problem i have is the following message though>>>

Quote:AutoIt Error

Line 0 (File ...\mceblast.exe):

runwait(MceIrPlay.exe -i " & $digits[3] ,"", @SW_hide)
runwati(MceIrPlay.exe -i " & ^ERROR

Looking to upgrade an install of GB-PVR I did several years ago, but I've lost the installer. Anyone happen to have a copy of the MSI file? GBPVR09112b.msi

The new version fails on install, and I'm hoping it's because I have the older one already installed. Thanks in advance!

So, I put some .mov files from my camera into the system, and find them through Video Library, I see the movie, but no sound.

If I try from the same system to open the file, letting Quicktime run it, it works fine.

I'm guessing it's a codec issue. How do I tell GBPVR to use the right codec for these? What would be a good codec?

Since I upgraded to the new software from June 4, recordings shown om my 16:9 TV (HDMI connection ) are noisy/grainy. Menus are sharp, so just the recordings give problems. Have upgraded also PVRX2 and GBPVRRecordingService as instructed.
Settings in startmeup are /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 -m 1080i --frequency 50 &, on the A-110 also 1080i 50 and in config.xml:

<MAC-0006DC43BC2B>
<MVPSendIncrementalUpdates>true</MVPSendIncrementalUpdates>
<MVPClientType>PCH2</MVPClientType>
<MVPWidth>1232</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>688</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>24</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>16</MVPOffsetY>
<MVPTranscodeTS>false</MVPTranscodeTS>
<MVPTranscodeAVI>false</MVPTranscodeAVI>
<MVPTranscodeWMV>false</MVPTranscodeWMV>
<MVPTranscodeMKV>false</MVPTranscodeMKV>
</MAC-0006DC43BC2B>

Recordings are made with two Hauppauge PVR500MCE's. The same recordings play correctly on my two MVP's. Has anybody any clue?

heya
I've got a really strange problem. At about 5.15secs into playing a recording on gvpvr 1.3.11, the picture freezes and I have to exit the video and restart it (gets a big laggy for a few secs exiting out). 5 mins or so later, the same thing happens again. Sound continues fine though, even though the picture is 'frozen'.

It's a new clean install of Windows Vista 32bit. I had GBPVR running previously on the same machine with same codecs with no issues.
I re-installed again (managed to stuff something up on the previous install), and everything is fine, except the 5 minute problem. I'm using the same config file as before, same codecs, and even did a line by line comparison of my old config and new. no difference. I've changed TS settings, codecs, etc.. But no solution after 3 days of trying to resolve it.
It does not occur on watching LiveTV unless I am recording at the same time.
Log files are set in debug mode, and they are not showing anything that could indicate an issue.

Anyone got any ideas? Really pulling my hair out cos I love gvpvr..unfortunately wifey is not loving me at the moment :o

Installed is vista with all updates, pdvd8, haupaugge Nova dual tuner with v1.1d of it's driver software, and a cat warming it's backside on the PC case.

thanks

Hi there.

I'm fairly new to all of this, though I was able to at least get my DVB-S setup in GB-PVR and working without a hitch ... sort of.

I've got two problems I just can't figure out. One, for some reason the channel scan will no longer pickup Sport Extra (in NZ, btw) on the TVNZ frequency, and number two is a recording issue. Some recordings are fine, some aren't. The ones that aren't are exhibiting an issue where they are fine for about 10 seconds, then they sprint ahead, play a few frames, sprint ahead, half a frame, sprint ahead, maybe quarter to half of a frame (if I'm lucky). Playback of the output TS file from the suspect recording in Media Player Classic plays back fine ... except for every 10 seconds there's a sudden burst of "blocky picture" and a blip of audio compression squeak. Live TV is perfectly fine and this is only affecting some recordings. It's driving me nuts ... and caused a miss of outrageous fortune but meh, TV3 have it online at least

Capture board is an AverMedia A700 based hybrid dvb-s + analog card. Is there perhaps something I've done wrong somewhere in the setup?

I have managed to install GBPVR using the NMTInstall program and mvpmcx2 using Community Software Installer and after clearing the A110's cache using Maintenance menu and Filemode (on the remote) clear cache appears at top right of screen. I mention this because it took a lot of searching to sort it out.
Anyway enough boasting, my question is what is PCH2 mode and do I need it?
I saw a checkbox when I installed something which said something about Advanced or Extended PCH is this it, if I do need it can I just go back and re-install mvpmcx2 or will that cause problems. I am very loath to alter anything now I have it working.
