I read quite awhile ago here on the forums about the known bug with the HDPVR and channel changes locking up the HDPVR and services.
(sub said something along the lines of forgetting to finish a routine in the code)
sub -
You said you have fixed this problem already and the fix would be available in the next release.
I have been waiting patiently, but I now am compelled to leave "lurking" status and join "posting" status on the forum, to ask:
Will the new version be out anytime soon?
if not, would it be possible to release the fix for the HDPVR as a patch?
The fact that it locks the unit up and requires a reboot (sometimes an entire server reboot as well as the unit itself) has destroyed the waf on my setup.
Unfortunately, trying to tell the wife not to change channels is hurting the waf even more..
any help?
Thanks a million sub, your hard work is appreciated far and wide, I hope you never get sick of hearing about it. =)
I have two HD Homerun units setup for QAM channels for a total of 4 QAM tuners, along with a couple of Hauppauge cards for ATSC & standard cable channels. I use Schedules Direct for my guide info.
I have no problem setting up the QAM channels that I have enabled on Schedules Direct on all 4 QAM tuners in GBPVR. Ex: WGRZHD maps to channel 702, WUTVHD mappes to channel 706 which is how it is supposed to be. The guide in GBPVR shows this correctly.
Now the problem: I have 8 QAM channels that are not included in the SD guide. When I go into GBPVR config & manually add these channels into each of the 4 QAM tuners (using the same channel numbers for each; 801, 802 etc) I then get multiple listings in GBPVR for the channels I added.
I'm trying to get the "added channels" setup in GBPVR (ie:CBLTDT channel 801) just like the ones that are mapped thru the SD guide like WGRZHD is setup on channel 702 in the GBPVR guide & that works that way with all four tuners.
Right now the "added channels" are listed 4 times for each channel in GBPVR.
Is there a certain order in GBPVR config when setting up the QAM tuners ( & adding these extra channels) that would eliminate the extra listings for the added channels & each channel would be available to each tuner?
Or do I have to manually edit the gbpvr.db3 file? That is something I would prefer not to do!!
Have had this single tuner DVB card for some years. Worked fine until digital switch over. DSO has now completed in our area (Devon, UK) - we have no analogue TV signal at all.
DSO created some problems on a set top box whereby the channels all moved around on rescan so that ITV1 (normally 3, now 180-something) - but this problem is with this card. GBPVR also now needs to scan for "All channels", not just "Southern, Stockland Hill" as I did before. I'm guessing the mappings shifted around some. Not a problem.
GBPVR picks it up, as it's always done.
Scanning is slow, and it does show good strength and quality signals (80,100) at the numbers I'd expect, so it IS receiving signal and another tuner in the same machine is working fine. (Huappuage DT-2 twin)
However, no ffmpeg icons appear in the taskbar like with the Huappuage and I see no mini picture of channels. What it does find is the following, see pic.
I've tried;
Latest drivers. (Vista-64 so the original drivers won't work).
Swapping aerial leads.
Wiping gbpvr and reinstalling.
Wiping all traces of previous avermedia drivers and reinstalling.
Anyone seen anything like this and/or knows a cure? I'm thinking the card is toast and of no future value.
(BTW, I put this old avermedia in to replace an almost-as-old Huappuage single tuner wintv card which conflicted with the DT twin. They ran fine together for about a year then started conflicting. No amount of faffage sorted it and I suspect the latest Huappuage drives are deeply unhappy support new and old hardware on the same box.)
i'm having a problem recording one particular channel...it plays fine for livetv, but when i try to timeshift it, or record it, i get nothing..
i believe it may be an odd size or weird pid something...attaching logs...
i thought it was a reception problem before, it came in weak, but with new antenna it comes it crystal clear, but still won't record...
it is an odd size frame:
640x480 atsc..mpeg2 w/mpa audio..
SID:2 VPID:33 APID:37 PMT:32 from info screen...
any thoughts? i tried disabling 'use cached headers' with no luck...
it was same as this before the changeover so i don't think it's related to that...
