Have GBPVR 1.3.11 and on my PC everything is sweet. Watched TVNZ Sports Extra all day, record, playback, everything seems OK.
But I have my tele hooked up via MediaMVP and have specified the Cyberlink mux on Misc 2 tab. (Mux checker says thats the only mux I have and it is version 5.0.2221)
My understanding (having spent most of the weekend tracking through existing threads) is that this will cause GBPVR to record everything as MPEG-2 files (mpg).
However, when I record something like TVNZ 7 it always records .ts and transcoding fails both when I try to watch via the MVP, and when I manually try to transcode the file.
I may not be reading the attached logs correctly, but it looks like it acknowledges my choice of Cyberlink, but then goes on to specify the TS Mux?
I just tried to open GameZone tonight and it just goes back to the main menu. It doesn't even get into the list of systems and ROMs so it doesn't appear to be similar to an earlier thread I saw here.
Recently I updated my MoveWiz plugin and updated all the WizTools DLL files. Could this be causing my problem? I tried reinstalling GameZone from 2.4 and patching up to 2.9.6 (even renamed the database as suggested in the earlier thread) but it didn't work.
I attached my regular logs and if need be I can setup the insane logging.
I've tried various settings for both of my capture devices, and can see no effect on my recordings. The configuration box seems to give no indication of what the current setting is -- every time I reopen Configuration, no quality setting is visibly selected. When I select "Record" in TV Guide, the default recording quality is always "Medium", even immediately after I've selected "High" or "Low" quality in the configuration tool.
i am a newbie trying to setup an hvr 1600 tuner with windows xp sp2. i can map all of the digital channels(using antenna) works fine in wintv but i cant seem to get live tv to work kinda confused. please help.
I am continuing to have an instability and crashing problem when switching to digital OTA channels during live TV viewing. Any idea how to solve the problem?
My configuration is
US A8V-XE 939 VIA K8T890 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
SAPPHIRE 100207L Radeon HD 2600PRO 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card (latest drivers from ATI)
2GB RAM
Windows XP SP3
GBPVR version 1.3.11
Running Hauppauge 500 (mapped to 2 analog sources) and new Hauppauge 1800 - mapped only to OTA digital source.
The Nova T 500 claims to have 'dual tuners' and has 2 antenna ports.
I've tried setting up the two tuners, but I'm not sure which of the two types to use.
In the list:
I don't think I've tried all of these, but it takes so log to scan that I haven't bothered trying all the different combinations.
I'm also confused about the antennae ports, I only have one Ariel plugged into the first port, is there a port for each tuner or can both ports be used to give signal to both tuners?
Another problem is when I record a program and try to watch it at the same time, I get no sound. What's the problem?
Can someone give me some ideas about improving the quality of Live TV on GBPVR? Here's the basics of what I have.
HP 3.0 Ghz CPU
2gig memory
ATI 2600 Pro video card 512mb
I've tried all the settings under CONFIG,PLAYBACK, VIDEO RENDERER and different codec types ATI, FFDSHOW, MPG to no avail. The display looks very pixely (if that's a word) and there's a lot of ghosting or trailing. If I play back some of the recorded shows they look similar.
Anyone have any other ideas for me? I'm at a loss of what else to try. Thanks so much!
I've noticed there are two formats for metadata that are recognized in the VideoLibrary Plugin. One is the internal format when the metdata is embedded in the video file as an ADS.
Code:
<recording>
<filename>D:\PVR\MyMovies\Movies\12 Monkeys - (2007-10-05).mpg</filename>
<channel>WMDG-1</channel>
<status>READY</status>
<startTime>2009-01-31 13:04:52</startTime>

<subtitle/>

The other is the format when the metadata is exposed via a file with the video filename with a xml extension
Code:
<Title>

There are some fields that are not consistent between the two. Genres for example is only usable in the external file and does not seem to be recognized in the internal format.
I've been trying to get off 1.2.13 onto 1.3.9 and now 1.3.11, but I can't seem to get there. Current problem is files of zero size. I can watch video live, but can't record with dvr-ms, ts or mpg. All 3 give zero file sizes (or fail with small sizes) and usually give multiple files of zero size. Here are some logs. Multirecord is off, multidec is on. I start with a working 1.2.13 install and install over it. I don't use the default directory.
but didn't find anything relevant.
