I'm using version 1.0.2.3 with an old, non-Silverlight Netflix account. I have been able to download and play a movie, but most of the time PVRX2 is killed either getting the movie description, or starting the player. Two log excerpts attached:

In the following, it seemed to be in a loop as the error is repeated until I killed the PVRX2 application from Task Manager:

Hope this helps. This is a nice plug in, thanks for all the work so far.
I might not have a clean install as I downgraded from 1.0.2.5 and 1.0.2.6rc1. Let me know if you think I should clear everything out and start over.
It seems that after playing about 5 shows very nicely, the next one has a black screen only, but does have sound. Skipping within the file does not bring the video back, nor does exiting the show and trying again. It seems only exiting PVRX2 and restarting it brings the video back.
On a separate note, it seems that when PVRX2 exits it does not seem to clear the screen and show the desktop, but rather needs me to hit the show desktop icon.
It may be a problem with my database, but doing the procedure I outlined here http://forums.gbpvr.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=7 fixed my resume problem and so I thought it would have fixed this problem too.
Thanks
Hi all. I am getting an error message after GBPVR instal that frameworks\mscorwks.dll could not be loaded. .NET Framework Initialization Error. Please help me resolve this error. Thanks.
I've been tweaking my GBPVR server over the past few days. The server now runs headless (thanks to VNC) for the most part and I successfully configured it so that it automatically wakes machine from standby in the middle of the night (~1am) to update EPG.
Last night, I scheduled a recording to start at 3:35am. This morning, I noticed the recording had failed. Going through the GBPVRRecordingService log file, I noticed two lines with the "Asking Windows to be awake..." one for the scheduled recording and the other for the Update EPG. UpdateEPG seems to have worked but the recording failed. :confused: Thoughts?
The server was non-responsive when I checked in the morning and had to be rebooted. It did seem to be have come out of standby but was not responding to any keystrokes or mouse movements (keyboard and mouse connected to the server) and neither could VNC connect to it. I also looked at this page in the wiki and wonder if that is what happened? Even so, I am confused as to why update epg works fine but recordings fail? :confused:
It however brings the channel numbers through incorrectly which results in not selecting the movie channels. Is there someway i can edit this guide to correct the channel numbers?
While playing a Netflix downloaded movie, I pressed the Hauppauge remote blue button. First time, it brought up a fairly large black area at the bottom of the screen with quite small green text saying the playing time. A second press returned the screen to normal (I think, or it may have returned on its own.) A second press brought up the black area, no text and locked up the computer. I had to do a hard reset.
Any thoughts (other than don't go pushing buttons when you don't know what they do)? What features are available in the Netflix player?
I'm using Graph Recorder for firewire capture from my STB, and it has been working fine. I started working with Netflix Watch Now in the last few days and it seems to have affected Graph Recorder. Specifics:
Installed Netflix Watch Now 1.0.2.5 and then upgraded to 1.0.2.6rc1 based on discussions on this forum. Then went back to 1.0.2.3 since I am using an old, non-Silverlight Netflix account, and I think I got all the newer files replaced with the older ones; I just copied into the directories.
1.0.2.3 was the first install that played a movie (downloaded with 1.0.2.5) and appeared to successfully download another movie. It did get the DRM permissions popups when I started the play.
However, the installs of Netflix seemed to break Graph Recorder. According to the logs, Graph Recorder was looking for directshowlib-2005.dll in the \plugins\netflix directory. So, I copied the dll to this directory, and now Graph Recorder works. But, Netflix does not, at least it won't play the movie it previously played. Prior to the above, the only instance of this dll was in the \plugins\graph recorder directory.
Any idea why it wants to look in the \Netflix directory? Or why the presence of this dll appears to break Netflix?
I am trying to sort our some issues with Client mode
1) Steaming live TV works on some HD channels with some stuttering. File share of live TV gives a frozen screen. When streaming, I get about 70% network utilization while with file share, I only get about 3%. This tells me that either the server is not sending it fast enough or the client is not asking for it or??? Any Thoughts?
2) With both streaming and file share of recorded HD (MPEG) files, I get about 15% network utilization and the files playback fine on the client through Video Library, but have some stutter when playing back through Recordings.
3) From the Server, I can start a recording, then open the in process recording using Video Library. From the Client, I can see the file but it will not open it for playback from video library. I can open it using VLC.
I have a very basic network setup with all the XP and Vista defaults and a basic Linksys router/switch
Please let me know any logs or tests I should run. Thanks and Happy New Year!
can you please check the tuner priority code before the next release goes out? I was unable to set this in config (kept putting the silly analogue tuner first!) and had to edit the database directly.
I found the allocation_order entries in the capture_source table to be all set to zero -- once I edited them with SQLite Broswer it was okay.
After almost two excruciating years with my TerraTec card, I've decided to trash it...
Poor tuners, lack sensitivity and won't lock the signal
Ongoing glitches once locked, cause MVP sync problems later
Out of warranty
Even worse, the darn thing caused Windows XP to hang every time it booted -- I kept having to press Enter 3x each time I needed a restart. You can't imagine how amazed I was when I watched my PC boot without assistance once I'd swapped the card...
I've moved on to the Pinnacle Systems PCTV 3010ix (dual DVB-T PCIe, with hybrid analogue support but not worth the trouble to enable) and violia! my PC now works like the good Lord intended.
The signal quality on the Pinnacle card is much better than TerraTec's, and the price is unbeatbable: ⬠30 at Pearl. I'd plug in another one a slot were free! You do have to use the alternate driver (BlackGold) but once I'd sassed that it was easy sailing...
