Hello everyone.
Until recently I could record BBC HD and get a perfect SRT file from the teletext subtitles on page 888. This seems to have stopped working and still didn't work when, after trying everything else, I retrograded my whole XP Pro partition (inc GBPVR) using GHOST to a time when everything worked fine.
The log files show no problems with a connection to subtitle page 888, but I always finish up with a .SRT file of 0KB
I can't test teletext directly as I haven't a fast enough system. I play the recordings back through an HDX1000 NMT.

SRT files are created for all my SD recordings using DVR-MS so I imagine that the appropriate filters are correctly registered.

I'm out of ideas and beginning to wonder if BBC HD is quite simply not transmitting teletext subs any more.

Could somebody confirm to me that recording BBC HD subtitles still works for them? If so I'll follow up, post my logs and come begging for help
Thanks

Is it me (as a relative newbie to DVB-S - I've been happily using GBPVR for analogue for three years) or is the digital recording process fragile?

What I mean is that when starting or pausing playback, or doing much else that involves a fair amount of IO, disk activity jumps and any ongoing recordings can not only show horrible pixellation, they quite often break. This means they're unplayable after the point in time when I paused or started playback of that or another recording. I lost the first 20 minutes of last weekend's F1 race that way (no great loss, some would say )...

My PVR PC is fairly low-specced for energy/heat reduction purposes but this does not seem to be a CPU-related but an IO-related issue. So the question is: has anyone else found this, and/or found a fix or amelioration?

One thought: is maybe the fact that both DVB-S tuners are on the PCI (not PCIe) bus an issue here?

Thanks again for the application of all this GBPVR experience and brainpower...

I am trying to set up an HVR1600 to recive cable TV via WOW! in suburban Chicago (60452).

I have already gotten ATSC OTA working just fine, but when I tried to add QAM things didn't go as well.

Before I tried to use GBPVR I checked WinTV and tuningassistant.exe, both of which detect, and display, quite a few channels.
Since WinTV found channles propperly, but GBPVR didn't - I assumed the most likely error was how I set up.

So here is what I did.

under the capturwe source tab I clicked add.
Then for 'recording source' I selected Hauppauge HVR-1600 (QAM)
For EPG I used Schedules direct.

Then I clicked 'update EPG' and the proper listing were retrived.
But then, after selecting 'map digital channels to EPG channels' the scan returns an error than no channels were detected.
I am confused, Any help?

I am using
WinXP Pro SP3
GBPVR 1.3.11
Hauppauge HVR 1600
WOW! Cable
ZIP code 60452
Schedules Direct
WinTV v6

I got a new 1600 card and i have been painstakingly trying to set up the digital (QAM) side of the card. After hours of having issues with GBPVR not being able to find a BDA Device I finally got that to work. (at one point ch. mapping was crashing the config interface).

Now I am able to scan channels but the return comes up emptyhanded. No channels. I replaced the PsiParser, and i have scanned using the qam.ini manager. I scanned on center frequencies and got som interesting results such as the image below. - signal at good quality, hmmm....

I am sure that my cable provider sends clear QAM chanels over because my TV internal tuner picks them up and a friend was able to pick them up on a hvr1800 from the same provider (and we are both running the same copy of windows xp pro, all current updates, sp3) . I know that my signal is good meter on the tv is steady around 90%, all high bandwidth splitters and d/a. installed in the house.

However I am NOT able to find any channels on the Hauppauge win tv setup either. i know that this is the first thing that i should probally get working...

Analog side works as expected.

All logs attached.

Thoughts, insight?:confused:

I am testing the reliability of recording while my PC is in sleep mode. All I can say is that it is erratic. Last night at 22:46 I scheduled 5 overnight (early morning) recordings. Log file pvr2.exe-1 shows them being inserted. The pending log shows them as well at entry 7/6/2009 10:47 pm.

However, only the last one (Hi-5) actually recorded. The other 4 show as 'failed' and there are no entries at all for them in my Videos folder. Also, the log recordingservice.exe.native only shows windows being asked to be awake for the Hi-5 recording. So it looks like windows wakes the machine OK if it is asked, but if it isn't asked.....

Any ideas??

Hi,

This is more for the EWA guys, just wondering would it be possible to have a "Queue up on Server" option in the EWA music library. Would be a neat way to control music in the living room without the TV on (e.g. from a Laptop, Blackberry, iPod Touch).

Hi,

Don't know if this is possible with the current structure of the GBPVR programme, and I'm sure sub has thought of this, but what about the possibility of rewinding LiveTV using data from RAM.

I have Live Preview enabled in config because I find channel change too slow when disabled, but the rewind feature when disabled is really cool. If, when using Live Preview mode, the last 30 seconds (say) were kept in RAM and could be rewound, that'd be really cool. A 4 Mbps TV stream would only need about 15 Mb of RAM.

When I try to start PVRX2 I get an exception error

I can start and stop Config

Already planned recordings have been recorded but PVRX2 cannot be started.
I tried to disable firewall also but no change.

any ideas?

I have been using the community skin since it's intoduction. Yesterday I added custom tasks for Hulu and Zinc. Don't know if this was the issue, but my skin was no changed and now I cam't get it back. I uninstalled the custom tasks with no luck. I installed the new skin developed for wide screens, again withiut success. PVRX2 now crashes when I try to change my skin. I have attached the logs.

I have the remote that came with a PVR 150. I'd like to be able to use it with XBMC. Works great GB. The wiki on the XBMC site says you need to add <universalremote> sections to keymap.xml. But you also need to know the original button code for that specific remote. Anyone know the obc?

Do you have to add code to the irremote file as well?

Am I totally off here?
