I have set everything up correctly for QAM but when it scans for channels, it doesnt find any. Avermedia's tool finds QAM and Vista Media Center (with the TV Pack). I dont want to use Vista Media Center as it seems to change the mapping of the QAM channels almost daily...so NBC will be Fox and the guide thinks its NBC.
So if there are any tips on how to get GBPVR to find QAM channels on the m780, that would be great.
GBPVR looks like it should be a great program! I'm a first time user and I can't get it working with my HDTV Wonder. I didn't get any search results here and the ones I found through Google didn't help. I'm probably overlooking something simple but I've spent hours already.
GBPVR installs and config finds the card installed. However I'm not using an EPG and don't know how to manually enter channels. I've tried putting the physical channel in the tuning request column. When I try to record or watch TV nothing happens, no errors either.
Is there an easy way to confirm I have .NET 2.0? I know I have 1.1 and 3.5. I have the other required software installed. Does it matter which version ATI driver I have? I've been using the card for years and haven't wanted to fix something that wasn't (terribly) broken.
Also, I don't see a way to use the analog portion of the card.
I am having the same problem on two separate installations on a network with HDHomerun. On one machine I tried Quick record and got nothing. I changed the directories and tried again - go a 0 byte file. I then tried a scheduled record and got a 10.3 Mb file - about 10 seconds of a 90 minute show. I was recording the same show on the other machine and I got a zero byte file on that one, too. I tried another scheduled recording and got another 0 byte file. I am recording off of ATSC. The first time the BDA multiplexer was set on Microsoft DVR-MS and the second time on Full TS - both times Multidec enabled.
The first machine is set at TS Mux and the BDA Multiplexer is enabled - this machine I tried both on and off for multi-record.
I have read a number of threads relating to this issue and followed it to your sticky notes with updated patches. I downloaded them and unzipped them but I am a newbie and afraid to just replace them willy nilly or if that is even what I should do with them. I can provide logs, I think, but not sure what you would need or exactly how to generate them.
I have my GBPVR server suspending and resuming just fine. It even wakes up when the (file sharing over wireless) client starts. However, it does not always wake up fast enough to satisfy the client, which then errors out with the dreaded red cross (requiring it to be shut down with Task Manager).
I have read most of the suspend / resume threads and have found some possible workarounds. But it would be so much nicer if GBPVR itself either waited a programmable amount of time after it tried to connect to the server or waited for the server to respond and then produced an error message if the server was not available.
I have a bunch of dvr-ms HD mpeg2 recording that I'd like to convert and shrink to divx. They are already comskipped. Can I use skiptool to do that? I know I used to be able to use it on SD MPEG files but don't know about the new dvr-ms hd ones.
I am looking into buying a wireless MediaMVP. So I will have some questions so that I dont throw my money down the crapper. One is that I have read thay you can only run this on WEP secured network that it will not work on a WPA encrypted network? Is there a way around this so that I can leave my Net on WPA? I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router.
Thanks
I can't seem to play any .ts files outside of GBPVR. GraphEdit, Graphstudio and MediaPlayerClassicHC all crash. I'm not sure how to tell the filter in use (which I assume is the one that's crashing) without one of those running. I can attach to the filter graph from GBPVR using GraphEdit, which runs great, but I can't see any way to set that graph up for use by external apps.
I didn't use .ts before switching to 1.3.11 last week, so I'm not sure if this symptom is new from all the survival patches or old.
Following on from this thread I thought I would break off the OSD discussion...
Hairy Wrote:I wasn't exactly sure how to format this, here's how I presently have it. 2 sub folders - Internal Graphics and External Graphics. Internal Graphics folder has 2 files - Blue.xml and Black.xml and uses GB to generate the OSD graphics. External Graphics folder has 2 folders - Blue and Black, each contain the skin.xml and the 6 separate png's that make up the OSD (the plugin could then load the graphics based on the colour chosen)
Remembering the CS principle of separating layout from appearance (not to mention the flexabilty offered by using images instead of GB-PVR draw tags), I think that External Graphics is the only way to go.
Looking at the resources supplied by Hairy and playing with the OSD I'd like to propose that we split the layout (XML) and appearance (images) by having two SkinPlugin entries related to OSD:
Resources\Layout\OSD\ A range of skin.xml file which defines the layout of the OSD and references the external OSD images listed below (currently only one layout option but this may change in the future, eg bigger osd text, minimal OSD etc...).
Resources\Graphics\OSD\
Set's of images and icons which make up the graphical part of the OSD.
If you guys agree...
The work required is to add the control icons (pbaspectbtn.png - pbupchbtn.png) to the current "OSD\External Graphics\" sets, refactor the resources to show OSD in Graphics and Layout correctly and then update the SkinPluginConfig.xml and preview skin files to match. (not much work)
I'm having difficulties setting up my card. I'm trying to "map my digital channels to EPG channels" but I for some reason my xmltv.xml file doesn't give any information in the "tuning requests" column. I went the xmltv_exe route using SchedulesDirect with no success.
I'm trying to setup a digital recording from QAM using a KWorld usb tuner. I've switched the settings on the registry to a "2" but every time I do a channel scan it only wants to do the OTA scan from 1-60 or whatever it does.
I'm pretty sure it's the tuning request column having no information is what is screwing me up. I would really appreciate your help.
