Hey,
I installed GB-PVR on both my server and client, set them up to the best of my ability, but I can't stream from my server to my client. I've got them talking to each other, the client can see what the server is "recording" and the tuner profile, but when I attempt to view live TV it just crashes after a short time of freezing with the following:
PVRX2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I've tried searching the forums and I couldn't find a solution. The server can watch TV, slowly due to it not being that great. I've attached 2 logs from the client. Any help would be great!
Thanks
As you likely have already seen on another post, we would like you to consider the possibility of keeping the md plugin running in the background. This should help keep the plugin updated and eliminate the delay and other issues that are caused by the plugin not having all the data from the stream. I am not sure about all the world, but for NA, the plugin could just watch the stream from the last channel it was tuned to and should not have to watch any special channel.
I have a Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Diversity Stick 2001e
I tried to use it with GB-PVR but with no luck.
As a recording-source I can choose between
"Pinnacle 2000e Dual DVB-T Tuner 1" and
"Pinnacle 2000e Dual DVB-T Tuner 2"
when I tick the "Only show devices detected in this machine"-box.
I can run a channel-scan, but no channels are found, although the stick works fine with other programs. I have tried a regional scan for Germany and a scan for all regions, without luck.
I think I'm almost done tinkering on the HTPC and will soon be ready to stick the lid on it and stick it in the entertainment center.
A while back I got a really good deal on a PVR-150 along with the ir sensor/blaster and 1062 mce remote so that's what I've been using.
I'd like a second tuner in it. I've been thinking a PVR-500 would be nice as they aren't that much more expensive than another PVR-150 and would give more recording/viewing options. However I doubt I would need to record three programs at once, or even watch one while two others record so the need for a dual tuner isn't that great, the idea was just more of a "bang for your buck" thing than anything.
I see Circuit City has a really good buy on the HVR-1600. Unfortunately they wont ship them, you have to buy them in their stores. There's a Circuit City about 40 miles north of me though and we occasionally get up there so it wouldn't be that hard to swing by and pick one up. It would give me my second tuner and a bit of an upgrade path - maybe, I dunno how my cable company, Charter, is looking at offering things in the future. I dunno if clear qam is in their plans or not. I only have SD tv sets and expanded basic cable. The expanded basic is in clear analog and they claim they have no plans in the forseeable future to drop the clear analog - in fact they are using it as a promotional tool to get people with SD sets to hookup before they lose their over the air signals, so i doubt they drop it anytime soon or they will have lots of unhappy new subscribers. I do have a set top box in the living room though as it gives you a channel guide, weather, etc. at the touch of a button which has a high wife acceptance factor. Thumbing up with the cable box I find some channels in the 700s that I get audio but no video. The channel id says they are the DTV feeds of some of my local stations. I'm wondering if those are in clear qam which is why I'm getting the audio, but since they are HD transmissions my tv just isn't capable of viewing them and my cable box can't downgrade it to make my SD tv happy? If we do have some clear qam channels would I be able to view them with the HVR-1600 and GBPVR or is it the same problem - my tv doesn't support HDTV and the card nor GBPVR would downgrade the signal so my TV could view it?
How does the HVR-1600 analog picture compare to the PVR-150/500s?
I had upgraded my machine to higher end model in order to be able to run PVRX2.
However, my problem is I able to scan for DVB-T channels but no picture and sound is breaking.
I tried using LiveTV or record and playback, result is still the same, no picture and sound is breaking.
I had used WinTV 4.6b and able to watch DVB-T without any problem. Clear picture and sound.
I had tried reinstall GBPVR, re-register filters but still facing the DVB-T problem.

This is quite an ignorant question, so my apologies.
Could anyone point me in the right direction of where I could get information on the Markup language (if that's even the right term) used in the skin xmls? Is it specific to gbpvr, or is it an adaptation on something I could read up on?
As is pretty obvious from how I've struggled to even phrase the question , I've no experience with code. I can find my way around the skin xml's (learned through trial and error) and I've read the wiki stuff, so I have a grasp of the basics. Ideally I'd like to learn about the various elements and formatting options that can be used. My limited knowledge only extends to what I've seen.
I've been meaning to ask this for ages and should have done so long ago. It's triggered by seeing "fillColor="BackwardDiagonal:#002200-#008800" in blue's baseskin, which got me thinking about whether there are more formatting elements like this that I don't know about simple because they're not used.
If that makes any sense (?) I'd appreciate a nod in the right direction.
After several hours of trying to figure out where the file associations are kept... here I am.
Does anyone know how(if?) I can get GBPVR to:
1) Display a TXT or HTML / HTM or PDF file in "Video Library"
2) Open that txt/htm file, view the contents and close the file via remote.
It might sound strange, but I keep txt files with descriptions of the videos in that folder. Unless there's a way to put several hundred characters worth of data (xtags?) inside divx/xvid/x264/etc files that I can use as a description.
I have been happily enjoying GBPVR for some time using 1 HVR1600 and a PVR150. HD (QAM) recording and playback worked fine. I just replaced my PVR150 with a 2nd HVR1600, and have noticed that it is a different model than my 1st HVR1600. Both models are QAM capable though.
I configured my new tuner as device #2 to avoid conflicts with the 1st card. I can successfully record 2 analog shows at the same time, but I have not been able to successfully record 2 digital shows at the same time. One will record, the other just creates 0k size files.
One clue lies in pvrx2.exe-native.log:
[INDENT]2008-09-27 18:50:39.953 VERBOSE m_pD3DDev->Present() failed
Error code : 80004005
E_FAIL
An undetermined error occurred
[/INDENT]
I have included the full logs to give a bigger picture of the problem.
Any ideas?
On a related but different note, while trying to fix this problem I somehow lost my MainConcept MPEG Splitter. I upgraded to the latest klite full codec pack, but GBPVR still cannot find it. I tried switching to the Haali splitter, but HD playback is jittery with that one. I very well may still have the MainConcept splitter installed on my machine, and it just needs to be re-registered. Can someone please tell me the filename to check so I can register it, or tell me where I can grab it again?
Is there a working plugin for the ATI Remote Wonder software? The one I used to use doesn't pick up all the actions like fast-forward and rewind anymore. I'm guessing because of the switch over to PVRX2.
Hi
I am sorry to post the silly question.
I am new user. I searched the web and downloaded the GBPVR10209.msi
and installed. Then I edited the "bda.ini" to include HDHOMERUN addition
as described in the web.
How do I add the "External Recorder" to the GB-PVR config ?
I have HDHOMERUN, and I want to use GBPVR to view and record.
Is there a simple guide (all in one and self contained) that anyone can
point me to?
Thanks in Advance.
