As this is my first post, I'll say "hello" to everybody before I start, and a big thank you to the authors of this great piece of software. I've had various Hauppauge cards over the years and never had much luck with the WinTV software. I tried ShowShifter, but it is no longer supported and expires at the end of the trial period. I also tried Windows Media Center on one machine, but never got it to recognise the card. Then I came across GB-PVR, which is by far the best PVR software I have ever found. Yes, it takes a little tinkering to get it working well, but so far I've had flawless recordings from GB-PVR, and with a good muxer it takes only about 2% of the processor power. Excellent work, and once again thanks to all concerned.
Now, the problem! Nothing too serious, but when I select the Settings page the settings display flashes briefly then immediately returns to the main menu. Any ideas anyone?
It seems that by creating links you would be able to watch shows quite simply.
Is anybody looking into this for GBPVR? It is free to set up an Amazon Web Services account that allows developers to look at all the Web Services Amazon offers.
I download a trial of BeyondTV and could not get it to work right.
I downloaded a trial of Sage TV. I was able to get it to work, but I had to download a trial of PowerDVD to get a codec in order to be able to burn Closed Captions into DVD-R with Nero. The quality of the DVD's was on par with a 6 HR VHS tape. The original files and DVD-R's were set to 2 Hrs. = 4.4GB (Standard DVD Quality).
I am looking for better quality on the DVD-R's, but I must have the CC.
Since loading and seting up these programs is very complicated, thought I should ask first if I have any hope for success with GB PVR before mounting an attempt.
I have two Hauppauge Win TV PVR 250 's. OS is XP SP2. PC is Pentium 4 2.4 GHz. 1 GB Ram. HD is 36 GB SCSI LVD.
For those of you out there who are using GB PVR and burning DVD-R's from your recorded files, can you get the Closed Captions to Display if you play the DVD's on your TV ?
How would you rate the quality of the DVD when played back on your TV ?
I had just recently moved in last couple of months and decided to get my PVR back online this weekend as the new season starts tonight. Decided to redo the computer as it had been a long time since it was cleaned up. Everything went well with the reinstall of GBPVR 1.2.9. I had to change my Schedules Direct lineups because I am now in a different area. Scheduled a couple of recordings and all I get is a black 'screen' recording. I disconnected the cable and I get static recordings which makes sense. I double checked my Schedule Direct lineups and everything is fine. Check my capture device EPG listings and everything is there, but when I check the 'channels' tab in the config, I am missing channels and have extra channels there not in my lineup. Also when I look at the TV Guide in GBPVR, I am missing several channels and the channels that are there are not in order.
I have 2 HVR1600's in a Dual P3 1GHZ machine. I doubt it is a problem with the computer as I had it all working before I moved. I have my cable line hooked up to a splitter. Two outputs to my HVR1600's and one to the STB. The STB is working fine.
hmmm, does anyone know how to stop defrag on xp from coming up on it's own?
nothing in my task scheduler, yet it starts while i'm watching videos...grr
since i am using hip with post messages, the os doesn't know i'm using gbpvr...
it's really annoying...:mad:
can't seem to find the right info in searches..
any help appreciated..
Just interested know how many of you guys run BOINC on your machines. For those of you that dont knwo what BOINC is, it is a distributed grid computing project that uses your free cpu cycles to crunch numbers some project are looking for ways to help cure cancer (cels@home) whilst others are searching for possible signs of ET (seti@home)
I have my Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1600 to the point where I have a few good QAM channels mapped to the analog cable channels, and can record them by recording the right analog cable channel.
QAM channels running SD or 720p can record fine with any multiplexer. However, the only BDA Multiplexer that can record 1080i broadcasts is TS Mux - the other multiplexers either spit out empty files or two files of 5MB or so and that is it, they don't actually record anything, even Full TS. And I've tried the ATI Mux, almost all of the Cyberlink ones, the Intervideo one, Mainconcept, and DVR-MS.
However, trying to play the resulting files or open them up in a demultiplexer (such as TSconverter) won't work. Nothing can play them, even after installing HDTV Pump. TSConverter and VLC try to play it but get no video and only a few seconds of silent audio.
The thing is, I know that I can play 1080i since if I make recordings of 1080i QAM with WinTV 6, it spits out an MPG file that I can play with anything, VLC, Media Player Classic, open up with AVI_Demux, etc. Works perfectly.
So, I guess the question is what multiplexer is that (Intervideo?) and is there a reason it will not/does not work for GBPVR the same way?
Hi,
New to GB-PVR just tying to set it up. My problem seems to be that I can rcord a program ok but not watch a secon on a differant channel whilst this it happening. I am using a Hauppauge PVR 4000. I used DVB Viewer before and this was not a problem. Lso does anyone know how to tune into analog channels with this card using GB-PVR, I get stations with the tuning assitant but how do I enter this info into the program.
Hey y'all. I installed GB-PVR a few months ago, and it is awesome. Unfortunately I had to reinstall Windows, and now I can't seem to get it cranking again.
I'm using the latest version (1.13). My TV Tuner is an A16AR Avermedia Hybrid Card.
Mapping to channels is fine, as is updating the EPG. However when I try using Live TV, I only get audio for TV3 and C4 and no picture. I get intermittent audio for the TVNZ broadcasts and no video.
I have tried sub's recommended codecs from reading other support posts, but can't seem to get a combination which work. I'm trying to use Cyberlink codecs, the Monogram AAC codec, and AC3 Filter - in various combinations but with no luck.
Could this be a problem with my video card?
Any help would be great, GB-PVR is by far the best with my card - the hardware acceleration is fantastic
When I'm in PVRX2, sometimes I cannot search the TV guide even if I click on search guide. Nothing happens. Is there a keyboard command that will cause this to work for me? I even formatted my hard drive to see if that'll fix it, but to no avail.
