I was trying to setup a laptop as a new client (WXP Pro SP3). Here's what I did:

Installed DirectX 9.0
Installed .Net 2.0 SP1
Installed the current version of GBPVR (currently v1.3.11)
Installed patches from the forums.gbpvr.com from the "survival guide" thread

I skipped Config, PVRX2 launches fine to the menu. Then I configure it to act as a client, using streaming, with the appropriate server name and database path. When I tried to launch PVRX2 again, it crashes with a MS .Net Framework unhandled exception. Clicking the "continue" button brings up a PVRX2 window with a white background and a big red X through the whole window, and the same unhandled exception window. It just keeps coming back. I have to kill it from Task Manager. My logs from this client are attached.

I tried removing and reinstalling GBPVR, but get the same results. I can, at any time, uncheck the "act as client" option in Config and PVRX2 will launch. I also noticed the client I had installed on my wife's computer does the exact same thing (use to work, I remember watching the Super Bowl on it), so I wonder if something changed on my server which is causing this?

I did go back to the PC client "how to" on the wiki, but didn't see any steps that I missed.

Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

My wife watches a show on monday nights @ 9:00 and 9:30. I have it set to record "all episodes in this weekly timeslot". The problem is that the same show (older episodes) are on at 8:00 and 8:30 as well. I don't want these ones to record, but they keep being schedualed. I only have 1 tuner and already have a prog. set to record at 8, so I am getting a conflict every week. Any way to tighten the times on the 9:00 show so it doesn't try to record 8, 8:30, 9, 9:30?

I noticed that the PCH's hdmi audio on/off switch doesn't work with mvpmcx2. Ii is OFF and the sound still comes from my tv. I want to use digital sound from my amp with S/PDIF.

Hi,

I changed from an analog WinTV to a TT DVB-C Card and I have some questions:

- I'm using XMLTV for EPG, is it possible to use the EPG from the digital card, because only analog channels are provided by XMLTV (germany/bw)?

- The change went well, and I tried to record and view a show which also was correct. Then I tried to copy a 16:9 mpg file to an USB drive and took it to my media player integrated in the Samsung TV (le b 650), now the ratio is 4:3 and I have no possibility to change it to 16:9. Could this be changed?

- The recorded files are quite big, 1h takes about 1.8GB, is that normal? It is only a little bit smaller than my mpg files from the analog device, I expected smaller files?

Thanks

Hi,

I run .ts to .mpg conversion in the postprocessing.bat using ffmpeg, and it all seems to work well.

However, not all of the recordings are ending up in the Recordings database.
Some are, others aren't and I can't see any obvious pattern as to which recordings don't make it.

Should GBPVR be able to handle this renaming?

Also, is there a way I can manually add the new converted .mpg file to the database to ensure it appears in the Recordings menu.

Thanks.

Dear Sub & All,

I'm having trouble with suspend and resume when running VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive on my new PC. All other renderers stutter on playback (from slight to massive) -- only FSE gives me decent performance.

However when coming back from resume, PVRX2 will often crash and show only a black screen.

I saw from the changelog that there was a workaround put in place for 1.0.16 to help alleiviate this, but I still have this problem.

Thanks,
Dane

Is there a Comcast user here, with QAM capable capture device, that could help me out by capturing some transport streams, and making them available to download from somewhere?

If you can help, send me PM and I'll let you know exactly what I need.

I am trying to move to the x64 version of win 7 being the way of the future. I am having a lot of success but am stuck with a PCH problem. All went well on vista32 and win 7 x86.

I installed gbpvr then I copied the gbpvr folder from the working win 7 x86 folder. Everything seems fine on the PC (after fiddling with codecs!!).

I can get GBPVR up on the PCH and many things work but it won't play videos, music, net radio or LiveTV. A server is started in config and I have allowed pvrx2.exe, pchserve.exe and gbpvrrecordingservice.exe through the FW. (I tried with FW off, as well). Sounds like the streaming function is not working.

After I try to play stuff, the response from the server goes really sluggish.

In the mvp-pvrx2 log (attached) I see errors that are likely indicative. These are 'Socket SelectWrite...failed'.

I have tried searching for a solution but didn't find one. The problems start occurring in the log at around 10:58 ish and relate to music and videos.

Sorry to be a nuisance but I am so close.....!

PS Don't know if it is relevant or not, but the PCH won't start up from the USB. I have yet to tackle this though as it starts from the mvpmc share.

GB-PVR has been working great, but am not able to tune some channels after the DTV conversion in the US. I want to do a rescan, but don't want to mess it up.. Hopefully someone can give me a pointer in the right direction..

I can't remember where the gobbilty-gook in the Tuning Request came from (it was years ago when I set it up), ie T:53,5,1~P:3~V:49~A:52~PMT:48~N:>5.1 WRAL HD (eng). Is this populated automatically when I rescan? Was it something that would have took a long time to figure out??

Just a pointer in the right direction would be great!

GB-PVR 1.3.11
Vbox Cat's Eye 3560 USB HD Tuner
Schedules Direct EPG
OTA Signal in the US.

Two local channels seem to have changed broadcast frequencies during the analog-to-digital switch.
I can't get EPG listings for these two channels, all other channels are fine.
Tried rescanning, then remapping digital to EPG wqithout success.
What am I doing wrong?
