After rebooting my WinXP running GBpvr 1.3.7, I can only tune, watch, or record the QAM (BDA) channels if I first startup and run Aver MediaCenter. Is there a way around this manual step. I have my system scheduled to reboot weekly and it would be nice if I could run a batch program to get the drivers for the M780 fired up correctly.
I upgraded from an older version of GB PVR to 1.3.7.
I can record but when I try live tv the program crashes immediately or if I try while recording I am offered the opportunity of watching the program being recorded and if I select this option the program crashes.
Been using GB PVR for a while and been working fine, records two channels at same time and its workign with the Hauppauge NOVA-DT Dual DVB-T Tuner PCI
Just recently I found it would get stuck in recording and it would look like its still recording yet nothign adding to the file size. Often I will check the video file and its 0 bytes and need to restart the recording service.. Its also strange as the main problem seems to be after 10pm UK time...
I have included the log from a time I know it had a problem... and only recorded 0 byte file...
This system has two 1250 tuners. I think the problem was due to the installation of each tuner as "unit 1."
My mistake was caused by a lack of understanding of the meaning of the unit number. It was not clear to me whether the unit number referred to all the tuners on one card (ie., 2250 would have units 1 & 2), or of the number of units of a type of card, or of all the tuners in the machine. I think this last meaning is the correct one.
I suggest a little verbiage be added to the docs.
I've made an additional donation of $20, with which I add the following thought: The product is already so feature-rich, I suggest work in the area of self-healing and awareness of of internal consistency.
I bought a Hauppauge 2250 MCE-Kit from Newegg and I am trying to get the Ir Blasters to work with my STB(dishnetwork 301).On the capture sources tab of GBPVR,I set the channel changer to MCE 2005 Blaster Plugin then I tried using the BlasterCrg program included with Wintv but it says "no Ir Blaster HDware" in the lower right corner and all the buttons are greyed out.I tried the "Ir Blaster Config" program included with WinTv but it pops up a window saying "could not find hardware" and all it's buttons are greyed out.
I then tried setting the channel changer to .exe plugin and I tried following the instruction in http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...downloaded the Ir Server Suite software.It work about 50% of the time for controling PVRX2 but will not work at all on the STB
I had HIP loaded at one time but after I installed Ir Server Suite,the program won't run anymore
I tried loading the replacement driver for the MCE remote and setting up eventhost but I found the Wiki lacking somewhat in it's instructions
I tried setting up the card with Media Center but it wouldn't recognize the card.
Am i missing drivers?
On the device manager tab,in USB,I do not see an MCE remote but I have eHome Infrared Receiver
Under HID,I have
HID Compliant Consumer Control Device
HID Compliant Device
HID Compliant Device
HID Compliant Device
Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver
I have working on this on and off for a week now so willing to try about anything at this point
I've been trying to get another tv card running and in the process lost the menu of completed recordings. The files of recorded shows are still in their directory, but, not listed under the ready list. I get the message no shows are ready to watch. I know there are around 12 there.
Is there a way to recreate that list?
Or, is there an application that will play the shows using the comskip files that were created?
I'm cleaning out my closet and selling a bunch of things locally but found an old 350 laying around. It was working when I removed it about 18 months ago or so.
I'm not asking any money but figured I'd give it away for whatever it costs to ship UPS (I have an office UPS account) so I guess $8 or so to ship to the states depending on where you live from me (just outside New Orleans).
If you're interested, send me a PM and we'll work out the details.
My lineups for my PVR500 card suddenly stopped working (but strangely, my lineup for DTV which is registered under the same account still works). All the guide shows for those channels is "No show details" or something like that.
Also - the "Search Guide" functionality still seems to work. I can look at a particular show, see its information and schedule it to record. Not sure why the normal program guide doesn't work. Recurring recordings don't work either.
I ran through the debug instructions for SD posted here:
and I indeed get a test.txt file filled with valid, current program data. Is there any way to look at the raw xml program data that GBPVR has downloaded? Where does that exist?
I've attached my logs dir. Using version 1.3.7. TIA
I have a Haupage HVR-1600, which works with the WinTV software, although I cannot say I am impressed with the video quality. It is considerably blurrier than my TV.
So I thought I would try gbpvr and see if I cound improve the video quality, but I can't get it to work. When I run PVRX2 and click on live TV, the screen turns blank for a couple of seconds and that is it. Nothing locks up. BTW I can play mpegs and avi's with the PVRX2 software.
I have my DirectTV box transmitting on channel 3 into the "analog in" on the HVR-1600. In the configuration utility it detcts the Hauppauge HVR-1600, and I have the source set to Fixed-Channel, External Tuner; Tuning to Cable and Fixed channel to 3. I added a channel 3(although this was glossed over in the wiki). I have a Gforce 7900GS video card.
