I currently have GB PVR set up to record from TV through my Hauppage 150 MCE card.
I have an antenna that connects to my card and have set up my recording source as 'analog recording plugin' in the GBPVR config screen and have the channels tuned in.
I also have a sky receiver decoder that I want to record from that has RCA output at the back (1 video, 2 audio out).
I want to connect that to my PC so I can record from sky, however this is what I need help with. What do I set the recording source to? do I select digital recording plugin knowing that there is no digital signal on my sky decoder?
Its also worth mentioning that my card has only 1 tuner but I only want to record 1 show at a time so thats not a problem.
I recently enabled the "Auto-Convert MPG recordings to: Video Ipod" in the config. I found that this also renames the file in the gbpvr.db3 database to match the converted file. Is there a way to keep from changing the filename in the db? I see there is "<AutoRenameSonyPSPConvertedFiles>true</AutoRenameSonyPSPConvertedFiles>" in the config.xml for PSP converted files. Is there anything for the other conversion options?
I'm trying to reinstall after clearing up some Video Driver problems. All I get is a message that an Installation error has occurred. I'm trying to install 10311. I've got a Radeon 1300 and the CCC & WDM are installed.
Is there any way to change the maximum size of the log files or the number of retained files.
I've been having a few problems with my older server failing to record things but by the time "er-in-doors" has given me earache, the logs have rolled over and the info gone.
I normally leave GBPVR set to debug and one EPG update can therefore fill one and a half log files so I only get to see about 48 hours worth of logs.
Is there anyway to make the recording status bar remain o the screen at all times, as being colourblind it's not easy to see the difference between white and green and at a glance you can see what is being recorded.
I noticed Comcast changed some channels on me so I thought it was time to rescan QAM channels on my HVR-1600. The last time I updated the channels, I was on a prior version of pvrx2 (1.3.7 I think).
Now, when config starts up and I click on the "Map Digital Channels", the scan dialog opens, it says "INITIALIZING..." and disappears. I don't see anything obvious in the logs...

I'm using PVR-350. When I watch LiveTV, there is no picture/video. When I record and watch the recorded file using gbpvr, there is still no picture/video. When I watch the recorded file using MS Media Player, then you can see the video. I'm using the InterVideo non-css mpeg decoder.

This is further to my earlier post about Windows 7 and my GBPVR problems.
Spent most of today doing some forensics and have uncovered that the "true" problem I have is that capture device #2 on my HVR-2200 is not able to correctly tune analogue channels, especially Sky (from the STB on channel 230) and Prime (channel 316). It starts getting increasingly "fuzzy" after TV1 (channel 7) but is watchable until Sky/Prime.
I do not believe in coincidence, so I have to believe that something occurred during the install of W7 to do this because before that I was happy as Larry (how is Larry BTW) with all my channels on both tuners.
What I don't know is whether this is a hardware or firmware issue, how do I test it?
I'm not steeped in HTPC technology so I've got it rigged for now to only process Sky/Prime on tuner #1. But that limits my ability to watch/record Sky/Prime concurrently.
