I use Acamd - along with newcs for my multidec setup (irdeto1).
Ive found the following:
* I cannot use acamd directly (com1) - as it never gives me picture.
It however does receive a key very quick generally
so im puzzled why if it gets key - why it doesnt show a pic
* If i used acamd with a cardserver (newcs) via the newcamd protocol
acamd then will also get a key (which does give me a picture).
however this method will only decode for 1-2 hours
ive tried with several versions of the mdapifilter /newcs / acamd - same results.
im currently using acamd 5.1.0 as i cannot get the v6.0.0 / v6.0.1 versions of acamd to work with newcs (at least for my irdeto1 card). the v6 version just complain about connection recv errors (when v5 works!).
would anyone have an explaination why i get a picture when i combine acamd with newcs - as compared to acamd directly (when both eventually get the decrypt key).
failing that - can anyone explain why a acamd config for v5 ceases to work under the v6 versions?
technically this is probably not strictly gbpvr - as its the 3rd party software that gbpvr relies on - but if anyone has come across this before id love to know how to fix it.
I just upgraded to GB-PVR 1.3.11. This is a drastic upgrade, because I was previously using 0.99.5.
I installed the .net 20, the runtime files, and installed GB-POVR successfully. I went through the initial setup, where some of my previous settings were retained, and some weren't. I went through every menu, and set things up.
Looks like instead of the old gbpvr.exe we now have pvrx2.exe. Every time I try to run it, nothing happens. I get no splash screen, just some drive activity, and the machine locks up. If I bring up task manager, I can see the application in there, but it doesn't seem to do anything other than lock up the machine so all I can do is end the process to get my machine back.
Are there some minimum requirements for running this new application? I tried to find some by searching around the forum and the wiki, but couldn't find it.
I am using:
Dell GX280, P4 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM
NVIDA GEForce FX 5200
Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II
Windows XP Pro SP2
..but it does if I come out of automode and select a specific section.
Would it be possible to add the ability to do this? It would definately speed up the alignment of my comskip cut-points.
I stopped using skiptool for a while as I was busy building a new pc plus I had managed to break stattik's script. Now that everything is working again and I have a dual core cpu AND I have comskip working reasonably well, skiptool and stattik's script are doing a really excellent job of producing ad-free, high quality xvid files for archiving.

What is the reason for this error? This is a recent complete clean install of 1.3.11 with an import of existing recordings from a previous version (1.3.7). I did not import the season recordings because i have noticed problems/corruption in the database with this.
I also have sometimes the problem that deleting a recording takes a rather long time (up to 10 seconds). Are the problems related?
I'm looking for a cheap solution to copy all of my old home videos/VHS tapes to disk. Since the card will only be used for this purpose and probably not again then I am looking for something that is cheap, and because I'm cheap too. Any suggestions?
I installed Kworld 330U USB ATSC tuner and the Arcsoft TotalMedia software it came with. I tested with TotalMedia first and it worked well. Then I tried to playback the same video with GBPVR and the audio is out of sync. I used every audio filter I have including AC3filter and ffdshow but I still couldn't get the audio to sync up. I decided to try and add the tuner to GBPVR anyway to see what happens. I can get sync'd AC3 audio on some channels and others I can't. I am still using 1.2.9 in order to continue using Raven's MyVideos5. What should my settings in Config be? Which decoders should I be using? Or do I just need a faster PC?
