Having some audio sync problems at about 5 mins in to watching live tv. I have the 2250 tuner card and I'm running it over analog cable. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
I've searched through these forums but haven't come across this problem. I recently installed a HVR-1600 and set it up in GB-PVR for QAM. I clicked the channel mapping button, went through a scan, and it found several channels. I got a working preview each time I clicked on a particular channel. So I mapped these to the EPG channels and everything seemed OK. However, when I start PVRX2 and choose any QAM channel in Live TV mode, all I get is a blank screen. Why would the preview of the channel work when viewing the channel in PVRX2 does not?
I've just got GBPVR all set up and it's mostly working great... my clear-QAM channels come in great, and watching them live is fine. I'm also not having any problem recording the HD channels, I just can't play them back in GB-PVR. When I try to play them back, pvrx2 just crashes.
However, I know I can play the videos, they play just fine in Windows Media Player... any ideas? (I have attached my logs).
On an unrelated note, I'm new to the whole computer-pvr thing... I'm using mc2xml to get my EPG... how many days does each EPG cover? Do I have to update it every day? My EPG worked yesterday, but today most shows don't have any info available.
I had pvr-150 installed and running great with comskip working almost to perfection. We could watch while another recording was going. We were very happy. Then I guess I got greedy. I added 512MB ram to bring it to 2G.
I installed hvr-1600 hoping to get 3 recordings. Problems ever since.
Now I would be happy with 2 working--I gave up on the digital side of hvr 1600. But, I am even thinking of going back to the pvr-150.
I am having difficulty getting two good recordings. Comskip doesn't work smoothly all the time so most of the 2nd recordings (when they come thru) are not worth watching. If we are recording even one we can't watch any ready recordings because they "surge." Not sure if that is "stuttering" or not, but, we get a second or two of action, a pause, then another second or two of action, another pause, etc,
Running filtercheck shows Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Capture and Hauppauge winTV 418 Capture
I just ran DeviceTypeCheck to see the device numbers and the report says INFO Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Capture model 26132. Then VERBOSE failed to locate filter: Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Capture
Failed to find requested device: Hauppage PVR150 (instance 2)
New to this forum. I am currently a media portal user but would like to switch to gbpvr so that I can use the DBox Recorder Plugin.
I have downloaded and installed the latest version of gbpvr.
Downloaded the dboxrecorder.dll.
Placed this dll in C:\ProgramFiles\devnz\gbpvr\plugins.
When i then go into config and select "Capture Sources" "Add". There is no option to select Dbox Recorder Plugin. I have tried this on 2 PC's and will not show up on either. I have also tried an older version of gbpvr with the same results.
I typically use an MCE remote to control GBPVR, but once in a while I have to try and remember what the keyboard mapping is. It would be great to have a key designated for showing a pop-up of a keyboard reference for idiots like me who can't seem to remember more than two or three keys at a time. A simple list of functions and keys would be perfect.
Since installing v1.3.7 I haven't been able to play a DVD disc using the "DVD" menu item. All I get is a blank screen after the drive spins up the disc.
VLC can play the discs outside of GBPVR, and both MovieWiz and Video Library can play ripped DVDs without issue.
