Does ML2 support for last.fm work on the PCH?

Martin

I have 2 HVR-1600 cards that work great with all the analog signals, but sometimes when tuning to the digital channels it'll just display a black screen and then kick back to the TV Guide. When it's in this state it will only produce 0kb recordings however I can open WinTV and tune to the digital channels with no problems.

The only solution I've found is to reboot the machine but then it's only a matter of time before the digital channels stop tuning again.

Anyone know what could be causing this?

Suddenly yapi2xml is not working anymore. I was getting a runtime acces denied error when trying to update EPG via the gbpvr tray icon so I reinstalled yapi2xml thinking that would solve whatever problem was going on. Well, now when I run Yapi2xml and hit "download and parse listings" it gives me the error "schedule file corrupted or not found".

Whats this mean?

What can I do to fix it?

RCN has forced me to use a HD cable box, no longer analog broadcast. I now have a Motoral DCH3200. This box has standby mode. My question is can I watch live tv on standby mode vs on mode. I did have it working in standby mode, but for some reason I can't get it working again.

I've got PowerDVD 8 installed along with GBPVR. Running Windows XP SP2 with a GTS8500 card. I've chosen the Cyberlink PowerDVD decoder in the GBPVR config and enabled DXVA... but when I do a playback I still get around 70% CPU utilisation on the dual Core AMD 5200. Yet when I play the same H.264 clip with PowerDVD, CPU utilisation drops to 4-10%, so I must be missing something somewhere that let's me use hardware acceleration in PowerDVD and not in GBPVR. Any ideas anyone?

Hi,

I've just started using GB-PVR v1.2.13 and i've come across 2 examples of how GB-PVR isn't using both HVR-2200 tuners properly.

1) One dvb-t tuner is capable of recording all dvb-t channels on 1 mux(network) yet GB-PVR uses both tuners to record 2 dvb-t channels from same mux.
2) When 1st tuner is recording analog GB-PVR wont use 2nd tuner to "watch" a dvb-t channel. GB-PVR however uses 2nd tuner to "record" a dvb-t channel.


p.s To get analog working on my HVR2200 i installed this patch and updated direct.ini file.

When I run CONFIG, I get the following in the config.exe.log. They are not all the error lines but give you an idea of what the program is running up against. I use Community SKin, and I know you don't support it, but is there a way I can copy the missing files so I don't get these errors?

sub,
Is there any hope of the horizontal menu coming back any time soon?

cheers!

Let's start with my sys stats: 2ghz athon XP (Bios reports Duron) 1Gb Ram, 300 GB IDE drive (7200rpm), pvr150 analog x 2.

OK, so this system has been able to record two shows shows side by side while watching a recording (either something previously recorded OR one of the ones in progress) using either an MVP or a PC client. It's been fine for more than a year, GB-PVR version always current (never beta). I can even work the CPU by transcoding a non mpg to MVP...

Had the Time stamp error a year or so ago, but fixed as per the TimeStamp Thread...

Recently, I hooked up my LCD screen dvi/hdmi to the 'server' and ran the GUI on the server. When I watch anything, one or both of the recordings in progress will get this weird time issue.

I can watch the shows straight through, and nary a glitch, but the total time is wrong (eg 32 min for a 1:02 show) and FF, skip ff, and rew, skip rewind, send the program into the bermuda triangle, randomly picking stop skip points.

THen when I skip a bunch forward or back, I can get back to where I was.

It seems that the whole teleporting to a random location only happens after about 10 minutes of viewing the program. A commercial comes on, (comskip is also messed for these programs) and I try to skip through, and I'm like 20 min in the future...

I'm sure the drive is fragmented. Last time I worried about it, it was nasty. But as soon as I stopped caring, fragmentation didn't seem to be a problem. It was a mind set

I'm guessing that it's disk access, but why can I view a programme with MVP or PC client? Should be the same disk access.

I also guess that it's the GUI in memory, probably set to Above Normal CPU (that competes with the recording service also set to Above Normal) I'm using VMR Exclusive, so that might not be letting the computer breathe also...


My solution is fairlly simple. Just don't run a GUI on the server. But I wanted to ask what it could be, and maybe there's a fix...

(also, when might you be revisiting the PC client, so that resuming will work when File Sharing is used? I can start another thread if you want)

Hi,

I'm considering using PCH as a frontend GBPVR client for the various TVs around the house (currently mix of SD and HDTVs). Ideally, I'd like to use it to stream LiveTV (SD & HD), DVD and Blu-Ray movies and recordings/music stored on a FreeNAS box, Internet video (using Ubustream plugin) from the GBPVR server to possibly more than one TV (upto max of 3 simultaneously).

I've been following posts here and on the PCH forums and it looks like I might be able to get the PCH and make it work with my GBPVR server to do these things. However, I believe I read in one of the posts here (cant find it now) that with the current implementation of GBPVR as server and PCH NMT as client, the decoding of the media (LiveTV, DVD, Blu-Ray) is done at the GBPVR server instead of on the PCH even though each of the PCH units should have the power to decode the various streams natively. Is this true?

Ideally, I'd prefer to continue using my current GBPVR server hardware (after upgrading the software to WinXP with the latest version of GBPVR), but if above is true, it sounds like I may need to upgrade the server hardware?

Edit: I understand DVD and Blu-Ray/HD material playback might be possible only for non copy-protected material?

Thoughts?

Thanks,
-Topper
