I just manually added a digital HD channel that wasn't being found on full scan (though my HDTV finds it no problem), and I can watch it live but recording from this channel fail.

Here's my setup:

GBPVR v1.3.7
Hauppauge HVR 1800-MCE
WinXP SP3

I added the channel based on the digital channel number from SiliconDust's website:

http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/location_programs

I then grabbed a Full TS stream and used TS Reader Lite to get the appropriate program #, Video, Audio, PMT & PCR numbers. My tuning entry is as follows (I made up the N component based on the structure used by other channels - could this be the critical part? Seemed unlikely ...):

T:93,0,0~P:8~V:49~A:52~PMT:48~PCR:49~N:>8.1 WROC-HD* (000(AC3))

I can load up PVR and watch this channel in all it's HD glory, but when I try to record back in TS Mux mode, the size stays at zero and the recording fails. Recording in Full TS is fine, and I'm able to watch in full HD using VLC by switching to program # 8. I tried re-registering the filters after seeing this suggestion elsewhere in the forums, but to no avail.

Attached are the zipped logs - I restarted the recording service, tried to record off of this channel (93-8) [it seemed to try twice, as I had two files with 0 bytes, the second labeled '-1']. I then recorded successfully off another channel in the same freq (93-10). All of that should be in the attached logs.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a Hauppauge HVR-1250 that recorded an OTA ATSC show. The recording doesn't play back in GBPVR, just gives me a blank screen. The file does play in Windows Media Player. The default application for .DVR-MS files on my Vista system was Windows Media Center. I changed the default program to Windows Media Player, and this caused GBPVR to crash.

All of the sudden, for some reason I cannot launch the program to watch TV. I get an error message "Sorry, this system does not support the required VMR9 video render. I can't figure out what to do to correct the problem. I downloaded and re-installed v1.3.11 and am using an ATI TV Wonder Elite. I am on Windows XP Media Center.

I took the bait and let windows update install IE8. Instantly my internet experience dropped to dead slow. What a hog! I know many don't even use IE, but I still do on most machines out of laziness. Anyway, unless you have a hot machine, I would not suggest going to it. This is on my A64 X2 3600+ box with 3 gig of ram which is not really a slug. Then it does not show up in programs to uninstall, but microsoft has a quick utility to roll back to IE7. I bet they get a lot of takers on that utility. :eek:

I am looking at upgrading my Hauppuage 250's to a 2250 so I don't have to pay for cable anymore and can do ATSC recordings over the air. I have about 6 Media MVPs will the recordings of the 2250 (I don't care about the high def but want the digital tuner) be incompatible with the Media MVP?

I know the media mvp can not handle the high def .ts files but can it still record to standard def?

If no has anyone played with transcoding the recording back to a compatible form?

Hello,

i am new I thought gb-pvr has what i want and want to give it a try.

I am using an intel atom and a nova-s plus. OS is vista sp1.

I did 3 scans of Astra 1 and miss some channels. Really just a few. The frequencies of those channels are public and well documented.

http://frequenzen.digitalfernsehen.de/fr...ENCY).html

I saw the possibility to add a channel manually. The window is a bit to small to do this and typing a ~ deletes all input. Probably copy-paste from notepad will work.

However, i am not sure about the syntax gb-pvr is using. Any help to complete my channels list ?

GBPVR is working very well for me and my HD-PVR right now with only a minor liveTV problem, playback hiccups when not using timeshift. I was thinking about trying these drivers out but wanted some feedback on how they have worked for others first.

The beta drivers are marked as May 15 2009, they can be found here if you want to try them for yourself.

Beta Drivers 1.5.6.0

Just click on the Beta tab.

Right now I have a bunch of my blu-ray movies backed up on my hard drive, and I wanted to play them with GB-PVR (I removed the m2ts file containing the main movie with anydvd). The ones encoded with h264 or mpeg-2 play fine, but the ones with vc-1 don't show any video (the file plays back with the audio as normal and a black screen). When I try playing the m2ts file with powerdvd or media player classic, it plays fine. What could be causing it? For what it's worth, I'm using the latest version of gb-pvr, powerdvd 7.3, coreavc, and my video card is an nvidia 8800gs with purevideo.

I had gbpvr 1.3.11 up and running for months on a Windows 2000 Server when it suddenly stopped working. If I tried to run it I got an error message: "System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing." After a quick search of this forum it seemed that some portion of the program was corrupted or missing. I tried to re-install overtop of the previous version but it wouldn't let me so I manually uninstalled the program since I couldn't find an uninstall program in the folder, or the start group, or even under Windows add and remove programs. I also used regclean to delete any unassociated registry entries. I then applied some Windows updates. When I try to reinstall the program it does a rollback and says "Install finished prematurely due to an error." Is there somewhere it logs the error? Is there something I'm missing that I need to do to allow me to reinstall the program?
Thanks.

I have problems when I try to see Preview Play and TimeShift Play.

I send you the LOgs files for both.

In oder hand I would like to know how to program the external recorder to work with Ubustream ?
