I was not sure where to post this question, here or the mvp section. I decided here since some of the issues that brought me to this point were under this support thread. I'm using the latest version and my question relates to HD (ts) files.
Here's a brief history of steps taken and resolved reading through the various posts hoping that it may also help someone else:
1. Could not scan QAM: sub helped greatly with this one. http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...light=scan I was able to finally map my channels. I had to do it manually, cut and paste, but it was worth it.
I am now able to record various programs using ts-mux without any glitches. What a great feature!
2. Could not playback ts recorded file on computer using PVRX2 interface. (Can play them perfectly using VLC) After scouring through the posts I played around with playback settings and finally came out with a good combo. Now using ffdshow decoders for playback.
3. On PC could play video but no audio or in slow mo. Downloaded and added AC3 filter. Could now play audio but out of sync. Adjusted AC3 lag and ticked reinit. http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...hlight=ac3.
4. Tried to watch through mvp. Mvp kept resetting after pressing play. In config file added <MvpTranscodeTS>false</MvpTranscodeTS> that did the trick (I think).
Now... I am able to "play" the file without crashing the mvp but all I get is a blank screen. I can stop and go back to the main menu so I'm assuming that is playing buy I'm just not seeing it. I tried the suggestion of <UseBuiltInTSReader>false</UseBuiltInTSReader> http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ght=reader
but to no avail.
Is it possible for someone to give me some insight on what to try next. As a side note my files are less than the 4GB problems reported. I'm so close to Nirvana!!
Not sure when this problem started, but there's something wrong with the recordings menu. I guess the database-file is corrupt. I reinstalled GB-PVR, but same problem. On the pc, menu recordings is not accessible, on the MVP it is, but in submenu "ready" there's nothing (while there should be) and in "what's new" recordings aren't grouped together (but that may be normal?).
Please advise what files to upload to answer this question.
I have recently managed to get GB-PVR working with my HDX1000 NMT.
I ran musicscanner (from its icon in my toolbar) and it appeared to successfully find some 5000+ music files on my server. These are all in WMA Lossless format.
Two questions
Firstly the WMA lossless files play fine in GB-PVR on the server but fail to play when I access them from the NMT. I am assuming that this is because the NMT does not support WMA Lossless codec?
Second ... when musicscanner imported all the song titles, album art etc. It did not import the song titles in album order.. It appears to have catalogued everything in alphabetical order (bit frustrating as it plays albums out of sequence). Is this normal or also related to support of WMA lossless audio files?
So on the great subject of streaming TV.
When I select the streaming settings via EWA I am obviously trying to get a better viewing experience by having the bitrate and window size large. But when setting the bandwidth at LAN and the window size at 720 using VLC I can say the output is not worth watching. When the camera view of the show/program changes there is a considerable amount of distortion lasting for a couple of seconds. As often as this happens in a show or movie the better half of the program is unwatchable.
Setting the window size smaller does work in terms of the distortion going away but that would be a significant trade off when enlarging the window to a decent viewable size. The external monitor I am using is a 15" with a max of 1024 so I'm not talking about blowing this up to huge proportions.
As I mentioned the bitrate and window size are at the highest setting along with the priority level. When I check the server machine I see the CPU usage is hovering around the 10% and network usage is around 1.8% on both client and server machines on 100mb conn.
I have not changed much on the gbpvr server side from default, so if there are certain settings which people have found to work well for both viewing via the MVP and through EWA streaming please tell!
Thanks!

I Think it would be great if in Live TV Mode, you enter a channel number that is not configured, that GBPVR Would try to tune that cannel on the Digital Tuner and feed the Full TS Mux to the PCH if it gets a lock.
Hi, my Hauppage remote (45 buttons) has a few buttons not working: TV, Videos, Music, Pictures and Radio don't work. I would really like to know what I can do to make them work... I read lots in the forum, and it seems to me as if those should be working. I did the "fix hauppage remote 45 buttons" or something like that a few times, but it won't enable those buttons. I briefly looked at Irremote.ini, but i'm not too sure what to do with it. If anyone using that remote and has all the buttons working would be kind enough to post his irremote.ini, that would be greatly appreciated! Or, if there is anything I missed please let me know, that would be awesome with my new Harmony remote (click "play music" button and turn on TV, switch GBPVR to the music library, etc etc, I recommend a Harmony remote to anybody!) Right now, I can't really assign this task to the harmony, because the "music" button doesn't do anything on the original Hauppage remote (Harmony remote has the Hauppauge remote device configured, but for it to work, the hauppauge remote itself needs to have the buttons working).
I've been having a problem with the EPG update. I've recently expanded my system to include 1x Nova-T USB, 1x HVR-900 and a PVR-150.
Since doing this, the automatic EPG update doesn't seem to be working. Every Sunday when I check the TV guide, there are no listings. When I ask the system to do an EPG update, it takes checks both the digital tuners and populates the EPG as expected. The PVR-150 has EPG source set to none.
I've check the config, and it says that EPG update is automatic every day at 2AM. According to the logs, the machine is doing stuff to the two digital tuners every night at this time, but the EPG itself doesn't seem to get populated.
