Want to be able to channel surf? Change channels in lightning speed with my new Net2hipsend.exe.
Just like good ole hipwsend, it sends irblast commands to hip, so can be used as .exe channel changer in config..
Originally i made it to avoid having to check the 'interact with desktop' box on gbpvr service..
[which breaks a lot of channel changer exe's]
Also enables networked channel changes...
But the big side effect i wasn't expecting was, It's LIGHTNING FAST!!!
I can change channels faster than my sat box can display them!
pretty much identical to the speed of the box itself with it's own remote...
No delays on any digits, sweet smooth beat, much quicker on startup, usually it's already changed channel before video is displayed!
makes hipwsend look defective...lol [what, is it made with dotnet?!]
then again it's probably a windows thing and not hipwsend at all...
try it, you'll like it...much more like a direct live tv response...
less than 2 secs/successfull channel change... http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post326143
i need some testing done with other setups before i release it to the wild..
will probably rewrite to make more 'universal' eventually..
[right now limited to irblast digits only, but all other keys plus others are possible..]
New to GBPVR, used MediaPortal for the last two years but looking for a more stable platform with MDAPI support.
After spending countless hours trying to scan in my channels for the EPG mapping stage of configuring GB PVR (using a WinTV Nova HD S2 card), I finally managed to get through a full scan of all channels without .NET 2.0 Runtime Error or an Unhandled Exception error. If truth be told I changed nothing, just kept rebooting and retrying.
Anyway how now mapped three channels as a test in order. However I have an odd situation in that the Live TV remains stable until I change the channel (after watching one channel), following which after about 15 seconds of viewing I get the .NET 2.0 Runtime Error for pvrx2.exe, or it happens without changing changing the channel from startup (I watch one channel).
Application event log entry is :
Faulting application pvrx2.exe, version 1.0.0.0, stamp 00000032, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5512, stamp 4802a12c, debug? 0, fault address 0x0001aa01.
I have also attached the logs to this post. Please be aware that I shut down the recording service cleanly so it will at the end of the recording service log.
Any help would be appreciated, I am totally new to GBPVR so please be kind if it is an obvious mistake :o
might get rid of my philips remote as it seems to cause problems with sleep and i can't update the drivers without causing wierd problems (on wake, normally).
contemplating getting a logitech harmony one but wanted to check if anyone has one and used it with GBPVR?
I have a pcv-rz26g with a EVX-26 tuner card formerly using giga pocket. my giga pocket software is corrupt and no longer available. does any one know a hack I can use to make gbpvr recognize the sony tuner card? Please HELP........
Hello Zehd
A newbie to Ztools and I would like to know if any of your tools can help me transcode TS files to mpeg. I do not have a mediaMVP but am just hoping to convert within PVRX2 automatically. The auto convert within PVRX2 does not seem to work, but maybe Sub is going to fix this in the next release?
Thanks

As the title suggests, I need help setting up my new tuner. I have used GBPVR in the past, but with different hardware, and I wasn't trying to tune digital channels. I have a tv with an ATSC tuner, and we recieve a basic cable package from Comcast. On the TV I can tune the standard analog channels as well as ~7 HD channels.
With GBPVR I've setup the xmltv list, and int he capture source setup, updating the EPG populates the channel list. So, I did something correctly. Analog cable seems to work, though I'll need to add another splitter to get both analog and digital simultaneously. When I try and add a digital recorder source, and map the digital channels to the EPG, neither device option(it lets me choose an ATSC or QAM HVR-1800MCE) finds any channels. Searching ATSC it shows it finds 0/68 and QAM shows 0/138. When I auto-tune the card with WinTV, it finds QAM channels, but no ATSC channels.
Does comcast broadcast QAM with basic cable? Or is my TV using the cable line as an antenna? Is that even possible? I also read Windows Vista might be a better platform for the software?
Lots of questions, I know. If anyone has any specifics on how to continue I'd appreciate it. I also have questions regarding hardware acceleration using a new HD4650 video card, should I ask them here, or make another thread?
System:
AMD X2 4000+(1.2-2.5ghz depending on load)
Abit AN-M2
Sondigo Callisto USB sound card
Hauppauge HVR-1800

I'm having a problem with keeping the credits info (Actors, Guests,etc.) in the xmltv.xml file.
I use mc2xml and grab the listings for Canada (East), Bell TV (Digital). If I look at the contents of this xmltv.xml file it includes the credits info (Actors, Guests,etc.). I then run UltraXMLTV to "enhance" the information (e.g. mark new shows, add the Season and Episode numbers, etc.). IN UltraXMLTV, I have selected to append the Credits info to the Description and to include the Actors, Guests, Director, and Writer info.
Once UltraXMLTV is complete I look at the xmltv.xml again and the credits info (Actors, Guests,etc.) are now gone.
I have attached a copy of the log containing all entries from the last run and my UltraXMLTV settings for you reference. If it would be of any benefit I can upload the pre and post xmltv.xml files.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or missing?
what is the most secure/practical way to use EWA from the internet?
I only ever use EWA, as the machine is headless in a spare room.
for starters, I believe there are 3 options:
1. VPN in to your local lan (I use this method currently, works well with cisco pix, I can stream but need a fast connection, impractical due to needing a cisco client)
2. Port Forwarding from your router, use a high port number, I presume you change the defaults 7647 and 7648? How secure is winxp in this instance? whats the likelihood of someone compromising the machine to gain access to your network? as its not ssl username and password can be read with sniffers? Assume firewall is on and password is enabled to EWA - this works for me also, have disabled port forwarding till outcome of this discussion
3. Use a webserver eg IIS virtual directory, have read the previous discussions, had access permission errors will try again later, This would be my preferred, as I could connect to my IIS webserver via ssl and connect to gbpvr from there. No snooping of username and passwords.
