I am using AverMedia Hybrid Volar Max H826 (QAM) with gbpvr 1.3.11 on XP Pro Service Pack 3, AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 2G ram and Radeon HD3450 video card. The tuner was installed and working correctly with the AverMedia software shipped with the product. However, the AverMedia software is buggy, crashes all the time and very inconsistent. I can get gbpvr to view the HD files recorded from AverMedia software from the Video Libraries.

gbpvr successfully recognized the device as (ATSC) and (QAM), I connected the cable, then picked QAM. Import an EPG from Schedule Direct. During channel mapping and channel scanning ( the blue light on the tuner turns on and seems like it has no problem communcating to the tuner). However, only 4 encrypted channels found after scanning. With the AverMedia software, a lot of encrypted and unencrypted channels were found after scan. I am attaching the log files below for QAM.

I then tried an antenna and used ATSC for scanning, again no channels were found (blue light on the tuner turns on during scan). With the AverMedia software, all the major networks are found without problem. I am attaching the log files below for ATSC.

Can you help me to figure out the problems? Thanks!

dumb question: so if I have my Popcorn hour, will it "remote control" GBPVR so i can do PVR stuff? How does MVP relate to this? Do I "point" PCH at GBPVR (or is it the otherway round). Apologies for dumb question, I read the wiki but wasn't too clear on this. thanks!

Hi Sub,

After some years away from GB-PVR I have returned and build a GB-PVR server using a Hauppauge Nova T card.

I cannot get the DVB subtitles to display. After searching the forum, I have found threads from last year where you state, that it does not work in the new PXR... version. Is this still the case? If yes, has this issue advanced on your To-Do list?

Is there a work-around to this? Record and display using an external program or ...?

Regards
Jesper

Slowly I am getting the migration from my old PC running GBPVR to this new one worked out (moving over old recordings, etc.) , but I am really puzzled by this one.... running PVR2 to an HDTV (1080p).

I can't get F7 to work (it doesn't do anything) and my 1920x1080 recordings play compressed horizontally so there are two black bars on the edges. Sort of half the size of those needed to make the ratio 4:3. I have set the TV size in config.exe to 16:9. I programmed a button on the Hauppage remote for F7 (editing irremote.ini) and that didn't work (just in case my keyboard wasn't working right).

GBPVR reports that the recording is 1920x1080 (actually slightly larger by a couple of pixels) and when I play it back with MediaPlayer it fills the screen as expected.

This is out of my config.xml.

P.S.
My next issue is audio sync issues for QAM recordings, but I see other threads on that which I can study.

HI, I'm new to gbpvr but so far I'm a fan. I'm using an ATI TV Wonder 550 (Theater 550 Pro Processor). Of course this means I'm have an analog TV connection.

When watching Live TV on PVRX2 I'm very happy with the quality but my real goal is to be able to record shows and then watch them on my HDTV via my Xbox360. This means I must recode the mpg file. I gave the Xvid recode a try but I'm not happy with the quality. It shows up a little pixelated. I'm also not sure about the original .mpg recording. I've been considering the idea of changing the recording resolution but I'm not sure that would really make a difference since its just an analog signal to begin with.

I would appreciate any ideas anyone might have. Once again my goal is to get the best video quality for playback on my Xbox 360.

If I select the *.dvd file from Video in GBPVR, it brings up the PCH player for a second & then goes back to the GBPVR menu. (using PCH2 version of mvpmcx2). Is there something else you need to do?

I've been exiting GBPVR & browsing to the Video share using the PCH interface & playing it from there for now.

I'm using the latest GBPVRTSReader.ax in the 1.3.11 survival guide that can handle corrupted packets and it works great.

However it crashes when I use Graphedit now. Works fine when I use an earlier version of TSReader.

When playing back HDV recordings from my camcorder I don't get any sound. It works fine in Windows Media Player.

The logs seem to indicate that its defaulting to aac audio rather than mpeg. How do I change this setting?

I have the remote and IR blaster working with my cable box, however, when I change the channel I see comcast's channel info behind Media Portal's channel info. Is there any way to prevent this?
