I'm using v 1.3.7 and am liking it a lot. A few problems, though, that I would like to get ironed out. One is that GBPVR won't play some DVD's or DVD files. If I record a DVD on my Pioneer DVR, then GBPVR will not play the resulting DVD nor will it play the files if ripped to the hard drive. Typically, there is sound but no video.

With some DVD's GBPVR will just hang. Then, when you press "End", the menu will come up. When you click on a title, it will begin playing with no video. If you then hit "End" again, then it will go back to the menu, but the menu will be distorted.

These DVD's play on other players with no problem. How can I diagnose the problem with GBPVR?

I've just created an HTPC (therefore a newbie) as spec'd below.

Have just my Sky STB feeding into the HVR and am trying to get a stable situation going so I can branch out from there.

Net radio, Video, Live TV all set up OK, but when I make a recording it disappears (goes to 0 bytes) once it stops recording!

I watched the last one grow to over 280 Mb, made an in-stream copy to another folder, and watched the recording disappear once it finished (these are .mpg by the way).

Thought maybe I have a mux problem, but the copy I made plays fine in WMP and over MediaMVP.

Looked for Transcode logs (which shouldn't have fired anyway) but none found.

The attahed logs may help a knowledgeable person, and my mux check showed only Cyberlink muxes.

Any help is appreciated.

PS. Last week I did a test run with 1.3.7 and recording seemed to work a treat. Should I drop back a rev?

Config is crashing on my PC. I am using GB-PVR Version 1.2.9 The only change I have made to it is upgrading thee firewall which is PC Tools to version 5.0. Prior to that config worked fine. Now opening config and selecting a tab freezes the machine.

I know that it is firewall related but am unsure what to do. If I disable the firewall everything works fine. I have given Full Access to GBPVR Recording Service and to PVRX2. Would the hot fix for 1.13 solve this problem? If so how can I obtain it as the link didn't work?

Thanks

Hi All,
I have a Hauppauge PVR 500 TV Tuner.
Hauppauge PVR 500 TV Tuner and Hauppauge PVR 500 TV Tuner with FM Radio both configured to Capture Device #1 and EPG has been downloaded and updated.

I tried to record one show and watch another one but I just get a black screen.

Any help pls?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all - I'm trying to get playback to work in GBPVR for some files encoded in AVC1/VORB/H.264. They playback fine in VLC Media Player, but don't work in GBPVR. Attached is a screenshot of my Playback settings. The file name is typically mkv. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know many of you are deciding how to add client to GB-PVR so you might want to check out Brent Evan's articles and even make a blog comment. Today it is the case for http://www.geektonic.com/2009/01/home-th...-over.html (which as you might suspect is my choice)

Hi All,

When I play the recordings there's no audio.
- Live TV has audio and even in time shifting audio works.
- MPEG file I downloaded off the internet can be played through 'Video Library" in GBPVR
- While a file is been recorded if I click on it in the TV guide and start playing it the audio works
- But once it's done recording if I playback no audio.
This is a fresh XP installation with only GBPVR and its related packages on it.
A mpeg file I downloaded off the internet is playing fine in WMP.
Any help?

Thanks in advance.

PS: Given below is a screenshot of config and log files are attached.

When I attempt to play a Blue Ray disk from GBPVR it very politely ejects the drawer and informs me that there is not a disk in the drive. There is a disk there. It plays with no problem using the CyberLink High Def suite software.
On DVD TAB configuration is:
Navigator CyberLink DVD Navigator (PDVD7)
Video Decoder CyberLink Video/SP Decoder
Audio Decoder CyberLink Audio Decoder
Audio Renderer CyberLink Audio Renderer (PDVD7).
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have emailed sub privately, but hope to find out if anyone else has ideas on this.

Postprocessing.bat is run hidden, for fairly intelligent reasons. One side-effect of this is that this seems to limit utilities that need to interact with the user interface. In my case, I am trying to run POWERCFG to change the standby timeout, but it is having no effect from inside this batch file.

I have implemented a dodgy workaround involving piping the POWERCFG command to a batch file, and having the task scheduler check for it "every minute". I am using a small VBS script to run the batch file hidden, according to:

http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/ru...ommand-prompt/

This keeps the window hidden, but still passes through the UI-related commands. I feel clever, but not elegant.

I am wondering if anyone knows how to enable such utilities called from inside this file, while keeping the batch invisible?

Is anyone else seeing this issue when using a PVR150? Ever since upgrading to the latest gbpvr, whenever I attempt to pause the live tv it hangs the appliation and I have to force quit. Any ideas?

(also, being so new to this, if there is a config file or something that I can post, I'd be happy to do so - I just need to know what/where)

Thanks.
