been trying to get the transcode feature to work. I pick my options, then say run it. I added a pause to the script,so I could see what was happening.

I'm not sure where it is falling apart, or why.

Thanks for your time

Hello
I’m fairly new to GBPVR but not to the whole HTPC stuff. I installed the software and managed to configure it. Everything seemed to work fine. I added my FireDTV as new capture source. Since my country is not listed in the source configuration, I selected the whole 6900 spectrum (which is correct).
It started fine, but kept on crashing the whole program on a specific frequency. I found the DVBC.ini files and made my own one for my country with the 21 entries it needs (also includes QAM256). The program still crashed on the same frequency, which unfortunately is used
When I take the entry out of the file, everything just works fine. I made a new file with only this specific entry and cleared my logs. Here are the logs which are made during the crash. Any hint?

I already spend a lot of time on the wiki (which is great!!!) and in the forum, but couldn’t find the solution to my problem.
Thanks!

Comskip missed one commercial in my latest recording so I needed to add an entry manually. I did not figure out how to do it from the Skiptool GUI so I inserted a line directly in the Comskip output file, went back to Skiptool and fine tuned the cut there.

What is the trick, if any, to add a new cut from the Skiptool GUI?

Fresh install of latest version, get the scan for channels screen and after a while this goes and am left with no channels etc.
Lame is installed ok as well as mpa decoder.

Hi

When I try to play back the recordings from my HD PVR I sometimes just get a black screen and GBPVR freezes. I have to hit ctrl-alt-del and end the task to get out of it. Other times it will play back fine. My version of the Arcsoft decoder is 2.25.82.43 X86 (Apr 21 2008). I think that this version is old enough that it doesn't try to block 3rd party apps, right? I have GBPVR v1.3.11 and all the updates from the survival guide installed. My video renderer is set to EVR and all the codecs are set to Arcsoft.

Thanks

Hi, I've spent quite a few hours trying to get my HVR-2200 card to work with time shifting and recording of DVB channels, but have not had any success yet.
I get audio but no picture. In Live TV I get picture, but when I unslect the option in the Misc tab for Use live preview mode if possible, I get no picture.
After reading lots on here it looks like I don't have the correct Mux installed.

The Hauppauge WinTV app supplied with the card works for both time shifting and recording, but not in GBPVR.
I'm running Windows XP. I have run Muxchecker and it says there are no Mux's installed.

Does the HVR-2200 use a BDA Mux that I should be able to see with the Mux Checker?
Where do I download the correct Mux from?
Thanks

I am somewhat new to GB-PVR.

I would like to keep Media Center installed but I can't figure out how I can choose which application my Hauppauge remote will open.

All I can do is open GBPVR through the keyboard, my Hauppauge remote will only open Media Center. I'll probably ditch Media Center down the road but would like to be able to access each program through my remote for the time being.

Is there an easy work-around for this?

I've tried Eventghost and Hip but can't figure either out (yet). Thanks for any responses.

I am releasing a BETA build 81 of EWA that contains secured web services functionality.

I believe this will now open up GBPVR functionality onto other platforms and interfaces.

I have posted further information on the web services on the wiki along with a rudimentary windows app that can be used as an example of connecting to and using the services.

Please post any comments or problems in this thread.

Hi, Does anyone know if Windows 7 will supports Hauppuage PVR500 card pls? thx

I am a newbie at this. I installed GBPVR v1.3.11, set up the Capture Sources, EPG, and the rest of the configurations using the online documentation. But I cannot get Live TV to work. When I select Live TV, I get no picture or audio, only a black screen. I tried Manual Recording and the mpg file it created is 0KB. So there is a problem there too.

I think the problem might be the codecs and I have looked through the forums for a solution, but to no avail. I have attached the log files and any help to get me pointed in the right direction is appreciated.
