I figued this would be popular enough to enjoy it's own Wiki entry. Guess not.
The Wife has finally signed off on a new hardware platform. (Previous system dates from around 2002)
So I have a brand new E8400 Core2Duo running Vista Ultimate that I've built.
What's the easiest way to migrate from Machine A to Machine B?
I bought the Purevideo (I think It's purevideo, it's whatever Sub used to recommend back in 2005/2006) decoder back when I was on XP. Do I need to move this (if even possible), or since I have Vista Ultimate, is this even nesacary? (Hauppauge's web site leads me to believe I don't need this)
On Machine A, I started with GBPVR back in 2005 (didn't join the forums till much later) I've upgrade every release since then, and played with MANY plugins. I think I want to start fresh with my new machine.
Is there an easy way to get all my existing re-occuring programs into my new machine?
Is there an easy way to get all my existing recorded programs into my new machine (moving the files is easy)
I Have an MVP as well, and I'm aware of the issue that Sub pointed out in the survival guide.
Specific to my migration, I have an Hauppauge PVR-500MCE. Is the latest driver off they're website the one I should be using? (Timestamp issue) I read the wiki entry, just wondering if there was any "late breaking" info.
Other than using the TS Mux option, what else must be done to record multiple channels? I can't get it to work. However, I have a PVR500 so digital channels go to the 2250 first then other recordings go directly to the 500. Probably just me not fully understanding how this is suppose to work.
Hi, i have a pvr-150 for a while, working good. Today I added a HVR-1600, and the remote stopped working. By putting the IR receiver cable in the HVR-1600 card, now this card works fine, but the PVR-150 stopped working.
For example, from channel 2 to 47, it's all analog, these channels work good thru HVR-1600. Above 47 is digital, and should work thru the PVR-150 with IR blaster to set top box). But, the IR blaster does not work. Do I need to put a IR cable in each card? If so, it seems to me that when i change a channel, it would change both the set top box and the internal tuner of HVR-1600, which would result in missed recordings for sure. I think I am missing something simple here! But I don't know why the PVR-150 stopped working. Maybe the device number is wrong, but the utility to find the device number finds nothing. The log for it says there is an error with drivers for PVR-150, and no mentions of HVR-1600.
I jumped on V1.3.7 as it mentioned fixes to do with the HVR2200, which I use. I decide a clean install was the best route, so uninstalled, and deleted DEVNZ folder entirely. Installed V1.3.7 without pain. On setting up the capture source for the DVB-T side of the HVR2200, I found that not all channels were found, and in some instances, duplications occurred. Tried with both tuners, with same result. Uninstalled, and went back to 1.2.9. No issues with tuning.
Have installed V1.3.7 over top, and worked OK. Tried a channel rescan and got same problem as clean install. Even had a error message (attached) pop up.
I found a problem (it was in the previous version too) when you cancel a recording the show stays red. I have to go back to the menu and return to the guide for it to be updated (shows green).
Ok I'm having a very irritating channel problem, the cable provider around here keeps changing channels around so I have to keep (trying) to change my channel lineups. It got too screwed up (and still is) so I decided to dump my recording sources and just re-do them. Now I have a couple of problems.
In the channels tab in config, there are still channels listed that have since been removed/changed, clicking the "remove unreferenced" does nothing to get rid of them, and they are still listed in the TV guide, even though the channels are no longer listed for each recording device in its properties.
Next problem is as I've said in the title, when I dumped the recording sources to try to fix this issue, I lost my reccuring/season recordings. I figure no big deal I'll just put them back. Unfortunately, that's not working :confused: I can do "record once" and it'll light up red as it's supposed to, but season record does nothing. It puts it in the season record list, but does not put anything in the pending recordings list.
I'm not sure what logs you need (if any) ... let me know and I'll post them.
Ok, I'm kicking myself after accidentally deleting the 1.3.7 thread from earlier in the day... so here we go again. Appologies to everyone who had a post in the thread that was deleted. (I was fiddling with the server clock and created some problems)
As with past releases, if you dont already have them, you need to have .net 2.0 or higher installed, as well as the updated Microsoft runtime from http://www.gbpvr.com/vcredist_x86.zip.
If you're upgrading from a previous release, I recommend you backup your gbpvr.db3 and config.xml files just in case anything goes wrong. Post any problem reports in the Support forum.
My day job has been keeping me busy, so this isnt a huge release, but hopefully there is something in there for you.
From the change log:
Quote:- this release includes a few more tweakable skin settings. The blue skin is mostly unchanged, but to show a few changes I included an experimental skin called slick, which is loosely modelled on xmbc 'Aeon' skin (showing different main menu style, different layout in Music/Video/Picture library screens).
- added ability to record multiple channels from the same multiplex with same digital card. This is only possible when you're using the 'TS Mux' option.
- encrypted dvb transport stream recordings now contain enough information for offline decrypting to be possible (with tools like TSoffDec, OfflineCSA etc).
- picture library caching of thumbnails to disk is now enabled by defualt for quicker access
- changed netradio screen to get it working again after recent changes to the shoutcast website.
- minor change to the way web radio streams are played, to work around problems that occur when people use plugins that use functions provided by WMP (for example, conflict between WebRadio and CDRipper plugins).
- added ability to play ITV HD recordings
- updated internal TS reader to cope with H.264+AC3 streams generated by the new HD-PVR firmware
- improved logic that help app know that analog and digital sides of some devices couldnt be used at the same time (HVR2200/2250 etc)
- made a change to the way .MP3 playback works to allow it to play a wider set of files, including those embedded cover art which previously were unplayable.
- added small tweak to get audio side of HVR-2200 working.
- made a slight improvement to the way the file list scrolls of the bottom of the screen on the PCH/NMT clients
- added experimental support for Hauppauge software encoder analog devices, like analog side of HVR3000 etc. You need to have the Hauppauge SoftMCE software installed for this to work.
- added a minor improvement to auto aspect ratio control during DVD playback
- fixed a problem where some conflict recordings couldnt be deleted
- fixed a bug where turning down the volume could result in it going to 100% volume after getting to 0%.
- added the ability to click the video window in the 'map digital channels to epg channels' window to give a large view. Clicking again will toggle back to a small window.
- improved digital tv scanning to make the config window remain responsive during the scan.
- fixed a problem with the capture source order not being set correctly in the database on some new capture sources
- added option to pass FLAC/OGG to mvpmc without transcoding.
- added ability to pass config to mvpmc so that configuration via share is not required
- added logic to cope with bad xmltv files that have end-time prior to start-time.
- added direct support for gzipped URLs for xmltv file names. This means that, for example, NZ users when setting up their capture sources can set their xmltv file to point "http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/listings-freeview.xml.gz" or "http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/listings-sky.xml.gz" and the app will automatically download/decompress/read the listings.
- added a mechanism for more scanning only certain DVB-S frequencies DVB EPG listings. Should help Dish/BEV users.
- added a context menu in for the capture source channel list with options for 'disable all' and 'enable all' which can save a lot of clicking of the enabled check box for some setups.
- you can now select multiple channels and hit the 'remove' button when viewing the capture source channel list instead of having to remove channels one at a time.
- added skinning support for specifying the number of buttons to show, and offset between them, and background mask, in the horizontal menu.
- improved OSD quality with EVR renderer
- config app mapping screen is now more responsive during scan
- implemented support for automatic offset scanning for DVB-T
- added daemon tools support for .img files
- added logic to retain file list position when deleting a file from the video library
- added PID filtering for the HDHomeRun to improve network efficiency
- and lots of other small bits I forget...
A can I delete filese in "slik"?
in "blue", on the left of the screnne there is a menu with same options and one of them is "delete". How Can I do that in "slik"?
I can't do a channel scan without it crashing halfway through and not finding any more channels. I don't have this problem with 1.2.9, but I'd really like to upgrade for the Slick skin and multiple recording features.
I can't reinstall 1.2.9, scan for channels, and then upgrade to 1.2.13 or 1.3.7 because with either of those two versions the channels don't match the ones from 1.2.9 so I get a blank screen on my QAM stations.
