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.

Okay, so I have been having this problem for a while but I thought it was because the client was so underpowered.
Yesterday I built a new client, dual core processor and all. The problem persists.
My client machine has a fresh build of xp, .net 2.0 sp1, cccp codecs, and coreavc. Newest version of GBPVR on server and client, and all the survival guide tweaks on the client but NOT the server(just thought of that). Windows Update took .net to 3.5 i believe.
When playing HD LiveTV everything works just fine. When attempting to play SD livetv it is crazy skippy.
I have included examples, images of the setup, and a video of the choppiness.
I'm especially interested in the Manual Recordings settings.
It is still "stuck" on a TV channel that I recorded from last Sunday.
When I click, or double click any of the options, I cannot change any of them.
Using Enter on the keyboard has no response to these items either.
I'm currently using Community Skin, but have changed back to the default skin, which has the same problem.
