I'm running GBPVR 1.3.11 and Moviewiz v1.0.25.1.... I have all my movies backed up to a drive as .iso image files and Deamon tools loaded.... When I select Movie Wizard from the GBPVR menu, it loads fine and all movies show up as they should, but when I select a movie and click "watch", the screen goes black and I can see that deamon tools mounts the image but the movie will not start...no matter how long I wait...
Now, If I hit escape, it will take me back to the GBPVR menu and I can select Moviewiz again, select the movie again and select watch again and it may or may not play this time....usually it takes at least 3 times but usually I have to do this 5 or more times....
I have tried manually unmounting the image between each attempt and I have tried mounting the image before the attempt...neither worked any differant.
Any ideas on what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Todd
If you need to see a log file, which file would you need?
Have problem that i don't have enough power out to the lnb´s only 0.5 V should be 12 V.
Cant find any manual over the card, have connection plug "format 3,5mm hole" in the back of the card but cant find out what thats it for. Can it be for external power supply??
Hey Sub.
I searched the wishlist and don't see anyone suggesting this..
For those of us using an external tuner (digital cable box, non-US,) we need to keep that box powered up all the time, so it can see channel changes from the IR blaster.
Any chance of an option to send a 'power' command via IR at the start of tuner in use and a second 'power' when no longer capturing? Or even call a batch file 30 seconds before recording or when entering live-tv?
Two reasons for this:
1. My cable box takes 400Watts of power (yeah, more than the PC)
2. Power fail turns off the box and there is no 'power on when plugged in' option, so I record black screens for the rest of the day.
Even more advanced (but I'd be happy without) would be for gbpvr to see that the incoming signal is all black and assume it's 'out of sync' with the cable box power and send a power on again.
I have a dual tuner that is quite reliable, and a third that is not, so much. I would like to keep running all three, but only if I can set a priority so that the system always uses the first two tuners unless they are both busy, then falls back on the third. At the moment, the software seems to select from among the three tuners fairly randomly.
Due to problems running Ati-550 Pro card on my new ASUS Crosshair motherboard I have to use a PVR-150 to grab video from a STB. The video looks fine when it is connected to the S-video input, but there is no connection for sound on the PVR-150. Is it possible to tell gbpvr to record the sound from the soundcard's line-in while recording video from the PVR-150? Or does anybody have another good idea?
As a newbie I need help setting up gb pvr in such a way that it wakes up from suspend to record my shows and at the end it goes back to suspend.
When I put it into suspend it wakes up OK but records only about 4 minutes of the show then goes back to sleep, so now I have to keep the computer running all the time.
I am running XP media center with a Hauppauge 1600 card and using the latest drivers. I used the MCE standby tool and set the sleep mode to S3 standby.
Hello, I just recently rebuilt my gbpvr computer and I am looking for a new remote control solution. What I want to know is how hard would it be to setup the usb uirt to work with my universal remote (I'm assuming I don't need any special code for the remote) and how hard it is to get the usb uirt to work with hip to control gbpvr. Also I've seen a couple of places that say you can control the mouse with a remote control using hip. Would you be able to toggle between the arrow keys on the remote working the mouse and the keyboard arrow keys?
Sorry for all the questions but I can't seem to find any one place that has all the answers and I was hoping maybe somebody here was using this setup and could shine some light my way.
I start to have to little free disk space om my recording disk
so what to do?
GBpvr ver 1.3.11
OS win XP pro
NO raid possible
1 - Can I have multiple disk for "recording" (NOT video)?
2 - Can I move files to other disk and still see programs in recording meny?
I know you can use Vidimport or Xrecord but they move files to "video archive"
I have used Video Archive but looks it's not working any more http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=38923
Over the past several days I decided my current but several times upgraded version of GBPVR was nonfunctional. It still worked, but there were so many bugs and configuration issues...(mostly self inflicted... I'm just a hack after all and this is great software) I just decided I needed a clean install.
Now I uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch. Completely clean database from the 1.3.11 installer.
I scheduled several shows. Then I went into recordings and into the recurring menu. For some reason the Ctrl-f and Ctrl-d keystrokes are not changing the priority on my recordings.
I've had that problem for awhile now and it was one of the main reasons for my decision to reinstall. I have a hard time actually finding anything on these forums, and I've searched several different keywords... try searching "recording, priority, and bug" on these forums... Whew. =)
Anyone know what would cause GBPVR to behave this way? Especially on a clean install.(uninstall, delete the install folder, reinstall, config from scratch)
It's not an issue at this point, I have multiple tuners setup, but someday there will probably be a 3 show conflict.
*** Nevermind, I figured out the issue. The mouse won't select the recording item. You have to manually browse over to the show with the arrow key for it to be actually selected. ***
But it leads me to another question. Is there any way to look in the recordings database to see what's in it? What tools are good for going into the database and editing stuff? I'm proficient enough to hack that stuff and I've got BEX setup to backup everything nightly anyway. So I'm confident in tinkering with it.
*** Another Nevermind, I figured out the issue. I'm slow, it takes me awhile to find stuff. ***
Here's the details in case anyone else happens upon my post.
you need to get SQLiteSpy and follow these steps:
1. Backup your gbpvr.db3 (just in case!)
2. Stop the GBPVR recording service and open your gbpvr.db3 in SQLiteSpy
3. Open the recording schedule table (main -> Tables -> RECORDING_SCHEDULE) This is a listing of all your scheduled recordings, and all recordings saved within GBPVR.
4. Find your scheduled recordings and you'll notice the "Priority" column is blank. What you need to do is fill in the Priority cell for each recording, starting with 0, and not duplicating any of them. You can edit the cell in SQLiteSpy with the F2 button.
5. Exit SQLiteSpy and restart the recording service.
6. Start GBPVR, and your recordings can now be prioritized with the FF/REW buttons.
I am unable to get GBPVR to use the SVideo input on a new HD PVR .. Component and Composite inputs seem to work OK. If I select SVideo input and attempt to watch a show, GBPVR's display window remains black and PVRX2.exe-native.log contains:
To verify that there really was a good SVideo signal connected to the HD PVR I did the following:
1) Used Hauppauage's TME program to select and display the SVideo signal.
2) Opened lastgraph.grf (saved from above test) in Graphedit, and manually selected SVideo input (Hauppauge HD PVR Crossbar -> Properties -> Input -> SVideo in) to play the SVideo signal.
The attached logs are from four test runs of using Config to select input source of Component, SVideo, or Composite and then watching a show for a short time. For the folders named "Component", "SVideo", or "Composite" the folder names matches the selected and actual video signal source. For the folder named "S-Video - with Composite connected" the selected input was SVideo, but the actual input was composite .. from the above second test.
My HD PVR's revision level is D2, software is 1.0.5.307.
GPBVR is 1.3.11.
