yesterday we had several short power cuts, off for 30 secs then on for 30 secs 3 or four times. This had the effect of shutting down the pc running GBPVR and the MVP. Now when I try and play a movie (AVI or MPG) it runs for several minutes then goes black screen then eventually reboots. Looking at the log it appears that the MVP looses connection:
2008-11-21 20:37:35.333 VERBOSE [6] MVP request processed
2008-11-21 20:37:35.333 VERBOSE [6] MVP waiting for data
2008-11-21 20:37:35.364 VERBOSE [6] MVP connection is gone.
2008-11-21 20:37:35.364 VERBOSE [6] MVP Control Thread shutting down....
2008-11-21 20:37:35.364 VERBOSE [6] MVP Control Thread shutdown finished
does this look like the MVP has somehow been corrupted?? I have reinstalled GBPVR just to check that, but no luck!
Hi,
I'm trying to setup GBPVR 1.3.7 with a SkyStar 2 PCI (DVB-S) using BDA drivers. I have a Dish500 (legacy LNB) pointed at 119/110 connected diseqc (119=A, 110=B). I'm using MDAPI 2.5, and Emunation 4.0.0.0. There are a few problems I'm having:
1) I am only able to scan 119. Is this because of the BDA drivers? I did a search on the forum, and found old threads stating SkyStar2 BDA drivers don't work with diseqc, is this still true with GBPVR 1.3.7? if so, which drivers do need to use to be able to get both 119 and 110 through the diseqc?
2) I had the impression that with GBPVR 1.3.7 NA Dish EPG work, i know older version of GBPVR didn't do it. Yet I'm still not getting any EPG for 119. I can watch channels and get picture/sound. I've updated epg-override.ini with:
[2410.ini]
0=1
1=12472,H,20000,56
and config.xml with:
<DvbEpgHarvestDuration>600</DvbEpgHarvestDuration>
yet, i don't get any EPG. Am i doing something wrong? something misconfigured?
I've been playing around with Net Radio and it appears to be working but there is no sound. I've downloaded a .pls file from Shoutcast and placed it in the Net Radio directory. When I select the radio station within pvrx2 it shows connecting...buffering...and then shows the track currently being played. BUT there is no Audio.
Is there any additional configuration I need to do?
I have a PVR 150 and when I click on any of the channels using WIN-TV I can see them all just fine.
When I use PVR X2 and look at live TV I can see channels 1-13 ok but with channels 14-99 all I get is snow. The GB-PVR config is showing all the available channels. WINTV and PVR X2 have both been working in the past but a couple of days ago I started having the problems seeing live TV with the PVR X2.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks
I am very happy with my fine tuning of comskip.ini except for "coming attraction" commercials for the channel I am watching. I haven't figured out how to eliminate them.
Stuntman on comskip forum indicated the same problem in Sept 08 so there may be a solution out there.
I signed up for comskip forum but never received an email to activate my username. I tried to resend the activation email and that didn't work either. I can't find a means of contacting the administrator.
Yet another guy trying to squeeze a QAM signal out of a comcast feed. I was just wondering. Are there any thresholds for QAM signal strength and or quality? The GBPVR tells me I have channels at anywhere from 1000 to 3000 strength, adn the quality may be in the 70s or 80s for some cahnnels. Is there a target that I am shooting for?
On my daily browsing of Engdaget.com I noticed a new graphics card from S3 which claims to do HD calculations on board rather than takling from the CPU. It also has HDMI and DVI out. Wondered what people thought of this as a HTPC graphics card?
I have just moved to Windows Vista Home Premium x64 and I have pretty much got all of GBPVR migrated to the new OS. However the DVBT Radio Plugin service refuses to start saying that the service failed to respond in a timely fashion.
A bit of investigation in to the problem leads me to beleve it is related to the way that the service identifies the default GBPVR directory. I think this could be the problem because the error message that is returned when i try to manually install the service is:
Code:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an obj
ect.
at BGowland.DVBTRadio.DvbtrService.GetGBInstallDir() in C:\Documents and Sett
ings\gbpvr\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\DVB-T Radio\DvbtrService\Dvb
trService.cs:line 40
A few things to mention,GBPVR is installed in vista 64's default program files directory, i.e 'Program Files (x86)' rather than just program files. I tried to install it in the standard location but the GBPVR MSI package always ends up installing it in the default x86 version of the directory. :confused:
DVBT Radio did used to work fine and only stopped working on the transition to the new OS.
