I have comcast cable and hvr-950q usb tuner wuith qam.
I added this to bda.ini:
[Hauppauge HVR-950Q (QAM)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=WinTV HVR-950 BDA Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=WinTV HVR-950 BDA Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

When i try to map the digital channels, during the detection process, the config program freezes. I have zipped up everything in my log folder. Please help.

btw, this tuner works fine with BTV using qam, but i don't want to pay that much for the software.

My EWA is crashing (see below) when rendering the "Manage Recordings" page.

It appears that the source of the crash is an unenforced size limitation of 1000 "TreeView" display items within the EWA code.

On my system the total number of available, pending, and reoccurring recordings has just recently exceeded 1000. By default my "Manage Recordings" page is (was) configured to display "All" items via "TreeView". This causes the crash, and it is very reproducible. Once this occurs, the only way to get the page to render is to delete the cookie file to force the "Manage Recordings" settings back to the defaults (which will not attempt to display more than 1000 items).

I'm running the EWA version that was released along with 1.3.11.

Can you please change the code to avoid the crash? Perhaps just truncating the displayed items when the limit of 1000 items is exceeded? It would be nice to increase the limit beyond 1000 as well, but the crash is the most annoying part since the average user would not have a clue as to what went wrong and what would be required to avoid the problem.

Thanks!

By the way ... my family loves GBPVR ... and we all find the EWA interface to be extremely useful!

HI,
As title says: System Menu ->
shutdown
hibernate
standby

They all do the same thing , they close the GBPVR program and do nothing else.

Version 1.3.11 , with all "patches"

I have another question as well , in the tv guide several shows are differently coloured than other ones.
The normal dark grey is on most of the shows , but on
some they are a very light grey colour , what does this signify ?

I have attached some logs.

I don't know if this is related but using the MVP after installing this for the PCH appears to make comksip jump all over the place and make the white triangle jump up and down the timeline esp. when I press the blue key :confused:

G'day

I have a 'bits and pieces' system which is using the onboard video card for video, and a second ancient PCI video card - S3 Virge GX - as a photo frame and secondary monitor for the HTPC.

GBPVR doesn't like this config very much.

The only way I can get it to work is to make the onboard screen the 'right' screen in the display manager on XP, and to set GBPVR to run in windowed mode only.

If I try to run GBPVR full screen it will go to the PCI card with a frame rate of about 3 fps - ie useless. If I switch the primary and secondary setting for displays, PVRX2 hangs on startup.

I'm not expecting there'll be a fix for this sort of environment; and have created a dark colour scheme for the window title bar and task bar so it's not too distracting; but if anyone has any suggestions on workarounds I should try I'm happy to listen

Cheers, Mike

Sub,

I have a Japanese Capture card I am trying to get working with GBPVR.
The card does have mpeg2 encoding capability.
I have attached a filter check log unfortunately some of the characters come out garbled without Japanese IME installed.
I am hoping these is enough info that may be useful enough to get this card functioning.

As always I appreciate any assistance

Regards, Kevin

I really miss the video plugin that used to work with old versions of GBPVR, it is still listed in config.xml but doesn't seem to work anymore?

Search guide via MVP hasn't worked for a while now, as in text search with mobile like entry, think that last worked with pre 1.2 release, was promised to come back but never did ;-)

Cheers

This ought to be very simple, but something is missing. I click on Search Guide and I get a column of letters, starting with A. If I click on (for example) D, then a second column appears with several programs starting with D. But I can't find a way (I'm probably overlooking something) to get the third column which shows when the selected program in column 2 is being broadcast. The wiki says very little about this.

Any suggestions? What am I missing?

My ISP provides an IPTV feed with h264 video and mpeg audio.

I have setup the external component of the Graph/ External recorder plugin to record this however the plugin appears to only want to write an mpg-ps stream.

In this case, I have to transcode the h264 to mpeg2 and write to mpeg2-ps file. Unfortunately I have a lower spec htpc (P4@2gHz + Radeon 9250 video) and it is struggling...I've had to resize the incoming stream to 272 x 288 and the whole transcode -> write file -> decode and display maxes out the cpu to 100% and provides a greatly reduced video quality.

I've looked at the settings for graphrecorder and did not come across any options that enters this.

If the incoming stream could be dumped to a ts file, this would greatly reduce cpu utilisation and the video quality is far better. Is it possible that the plugin could have an option or accomodate the possibility of the external/ graph component writing to a TS file?

I greatly appreciate the effort of carpeVideo, NormanR and Ubu in creating and developing the external/ software recorder plugins. Out of all Windows PVR software, this plugin gives GB-PVR the greatest flexibility to adapt to any source. As there are more h264 video feeds and as IPTV becomes more popular, the ability for this plugin to write to a ts file would greatly enhance GB-PVR.

We just got a new STB (Motorola DCT6416) for watching and recording digital HDTV. I am trying to integrate this STB somehow with GBPVR. We would like to be able to:

• preview live STB channels using the EPG in GBPVR
  
• record shows from STB channels using the EPG in GBPVR
  

• STB firewire connection to HTPC
  
• STB RCA composite connection to HTPC tuner card (hauppauge 500mce)
  
• Successfully installed firewire drivers and software (timmmore)
  
• confirmed firewire connection using vlc
  
• built and tested live preview graph for STB firewire source
  

• should I be using the first tab (via executables) and/or the other tabs?
  
• what goes in the device ID?
  
• what goes in the start recording executable and parameters?
  
• same question for the now, post, stop, start preview, etc fields?
  
• will this setup turn the STB box on and off as required to tune and/or record?
