I had MVPMC working fine on my Windows XP PC for some time, the menu would come up and I would choose the option to go into GBPVR. Also telnet and web access into the MVPMC worked. This weekend I tried setting up MythTV on Ubuntu 8.10, then tried getting MythTV to work with the MediaMVP. I couldn't get it to work, kept saying "Failed to Locate GUI server". I decided to revert back to GBPVR on XP, however now I cannot get the MVPMC menu to come up or telnet/web access into it. I have GBPVR set to load the mvpmc dongle from 3-1-09. (http://www.mvpmc.org/builds/dongle.bin.mvpmc-20090301). MediaMVP just boots right into GBPVR, never showing the MVPMC startup screen.
Please help me get back the MVPMC menu and telnet/web access into it!
I have the MediaMVP wireless rev H3. I tried both wireless and wired, same problem.
I have been using mc2xml to generate a xmltv.xml file. Whenever I updated my EPG, the gbpvr.db3 gets corrupted.. The only way I can get it to work is to first clear the EPG and then update it, and it works, however this deletes all my scheduled recordings.
I've finally added the s/pdif output connectors to my shuttle running gbpvr. Which lead to several hours fighting with the configs.
Apparently the key is to get ffdshow audio to do all the audio processing, with various settings suggesting it should use s/pdif as appropriate...
I've got all the settings that are working for me if anyone needs/wants me to dig em up, but right now I'm getting 5.1 out of TS playback (assuming it was there in teh source) as well as from ripped dvds and downloaded content.
It's all very nice
Yeah I'm home sick so I have time to play with the much neglected HTPC.
Hi,
I have a HVR-2250 card and I am trying to set it up to use both digital tuners and none of the analog tuners. So I in config.exe under the "Capture Sources" tab I have two Tuners (Tuner-1 & Tuner-2) setup. My question is when I setup the digital recording plugin would have a device number of 1 for both sources or would Tuner-1 have device number 1 and tuner-2 have device number 2? Reason I ask is I have tried it both ways and am still getting conflicts.
Thanks,
dave
ps. sorry if this has been covered but I searched the forum and went through the 2250 threads but could not find anything that specifically spoke about this.
Hi all,
I am having an issue where I am getting no sound out recordings (that GBPVR recorded) played via GBPVR but when I watch them on XBMC they play fine. What is even stranger is that when I watch live tv inside of GBPVR I hear perfect audio.
I am really confused as to why live tv has audio but recorded tv does not, any ideas?
Hi,
I am trying to use a Blackgold 3500 card, this card has on-board hardware MPEG encoding for all of its inputs.
With the help of the 'Wiki' I have been able to sort out the Dual DVB-T tuners and they work well within GBPVR.
However, I need to record from my (Virgin) STB which only has either RF, composite PAL, or YUV component outputs. I have already been told that the 'YUV' option is a non starter, the Blackgold card does not have composite input, so I am keen to get the Analog RF bit working.
I have deleted the DVB-T settings for one of the capture sources, and tried to set it up for fixed channel external tuner, but cant get it working.
In the config', capture source settings it comes up as a 'Compro Videomate E900F', but this seems to be because both the Compro and the Blackgold have filters with '7164' in them. Using the 'Compro' setting the card does not work, (of course)
I found the information in the Wiki informative regarding setting up the unsupported DVB-T aspect of the card, but can not find very much about seeting up the Analog RF tuner.
Any help would be appreciated.

When I am at the main menu and press "Live TV" nothing happens! I mean nothing at all...!
I got a PVR150 MCE.. and I think I've set the config completely correct. I use an external decoder connected with a RCA (composite) cable to the TVcard...
I can watch TV in Hauppage WinTV... But then there is a slight delay, thats why I'm trying to get this thing working. I got a tip from a buddy that GBPVR could deal the thing without delay. Example if you want to play video game on PC display.
So, things are working shockingly well with the lastest GBPVR + HD-PVR1600 Hauppaugh + Comcast and its expanded number of clear QAM channels.
Problem: Comcast likes to move those channels around
Solution: (Warn me if I am looking for trouble!) I find manually editing the tuning requests to use the correct channel under 'Map digital channelsl' works fine...
ie, use T:80,80,2~P:2~etc....
works fine - it tunes to 80-2, and whatever clear QAM is there comes in.
I am not sure what the P:2 means :p
Question 1: where is this mapping table stored, and can we edit it directly?
Question 2: for QAM tuning how much/what do I have to "get right" in the Tuning request? It would be totally perfect if all I needed was the T:CH,CH,subch - and tell me what the P:Y means? is that important? Is that the audio? What?
So yeah... in short is there a way to export/import that list into some editable form, and is the format of the Tuning Request knowable so I can put them in myself?
I'm using the great silicondust lineup generator to see the channel mappings.
After months of experimenting with live viewing and playback of recordings of the BBC HD channel, I have finally managed to achieve stutter free viewing using GPPVR.
I have a Radion HD 3450 video card which may the cause of most of my problems but in the end the solution was simple .
1. Install ffdshow and
2. Set Video Renderer to VMR9 exclusive .
If I set rendering to any of the other settings the picture stutters and machine uses 100% of resources. Power DVD used about 10% of processing power but the picture forms tiles.
XBMC works quite well but some tiling in the lower 10th of the screen.
