Hey all
Bit of a problem. I've had this card since 2004 and it's always worked...until I updated the drivers with the official 150's from hauppauge.
Since then, i've removed them completely, including the .inf's and installed a set from 2004 (2.0.22301) from shspvr's archives. These are the originals that I installed and had working.
I still can't get the second tuner to record. GB-PVR writes the filename and folder, but it's 0 bytes.
Logs attached.
anyone using linq with a database? ive used linq with sql server 2005 quite a lot, but i cant expect everyone to install sql server to use a plugin. so was hoping someone has any recommendations for a portable database (like sqlite) that supports linq?
i really dont want to give up using queries like
Code:
Video v = (from v in db.Videos where v.ID = id select v);
its just so much nicer than handling the connection/command/datareader etc
I have the plugin set to use the "Queue to Watch Instantly" RSS feed (could this be the problem?).
When I select a movie from the Queue, I get the window saying that it's retrieving movie information, but after a very long wait, the GBPVR screensaver comes on. When I press a button on the remote to go back, the window is gone and there is not movie information. Without the movie information, I can't get the download.
At first I thought this might be because I have obscure movies on my queue, but this problem appears to occur on my other lists as well, including New Releases and Top 100.
What's weird is that I was able to download two other things:
1) I downloaded Dracula and had the same problem as described above. While searching for an answer, I realized that I had placed CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll in c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr and not in the \common folder.
2) After making the correction, and deleting Dracula, I was able to download the first episode of the Office.
Deleting that Office episode in the hopes that it will allow me to view a different movie hasn't worked either. Trying to re-download Dracula has also failed.
Is there anything less I need to check to see why this is happening? Should I try disabling the GBPVR screensaver?
(On a side note, I LOVE this plugin. I couldn't get Netflix to work at all on my PVR due to some obscure nvidia/microsoft DRM issue, but this plugin is a ray of light in stormy weather. When it works, this is the best plugin ever!)
I had GB-PVR running perfectly on my Vista 32 system for some time with Hauppauge PVR-150. Recently I decided to upgrade to Vista 64 to take advantage of the full 4 GB of RAM in my system. With Vista 32 because of the limitations of 32 bit operating system only about 3.3 GB was being used.
With Vista 64 however I simply not get Live TV on GB-PVR to run properly. On an initial cold start it would seem to run ok but if I quit and did other tasks and came back a couple hours later I couldn't get any picture although sound was ok. By trying many different configuration settings I could vary from no sound no picture, picture but no sound, or my favorite, both picture and sound with an extreme stutter and outright freezing. Rebooting would return everything to normal with good Live TV but again after a while it would fail. I thought this was a problem with GB-PVR and went through several reinstalls without success.
After a lot of searching I found the solution on a forum elsewhere (didn't see anything on this site although I might have missed it). Essentially, the driver for the Hauppauge PVR-150 does not work with Vista 64 if Vista 64 has 4+ Gig of memory. It's actually a flaw in Vista 64 which Microsoft has not fixed yet (and might never). Hauppauge could possibly have written a driver patch to fix the problem but they have chosen to do nothing but sit back and blame Microsoft. With the PVR-150 late in it's life cycle an updated driver appears unlikely now.
So, according to the information, as things stand the PVR-150 won't work properly with Vista 64 and 4+ Gig of memory. That being the case I pulled out one stick of memory taking my system down to 3 Gig, and voila! GB-PVR now works perfectly with all the problems I had previously been experiencing gone. I am kind of ticked though that I am forced to run on only 3 Gig of RAM. I am even more ticked at the lack of support for Vista 64 from both Microsoft and outside companies.
Anyway, my purpose in posting here was to highlite the problem, and the solution for anyone else who might trip over it in the hopes of saving them the frustrations that I went through in resolving this.
Everything is working well except for one thing currently:
TX Mux Recorded shows can only be fast-forwarded to 12 minutes and 48 seconds (768 seconds, 12:48) at which point you can play them, but not pause, rewind, fast forward or they will go back to the 12:48 position.
The log has this error:

Thanks again, it's so close I can taste it!
i was just wondering if anyone had a drobo or used a drobo, and what they thought of that compared to standard RAID 5?
im looking at getting a 4 hdd NAS (the drobo has a $100 addon which converts it into a NAS), and im liking the fact i can shove any size drive in it and seems to give me more space than RAID (which gives me 3x the smallest drive in the array). but was just wondering if anyone has any experience to put them off/on it.
basically i want it to house my large dvd collection, and i dont want to lose all of my rips incase a single drive dies (i really wouldnt want to rip them a second time)
Hello,
I've been working on setting up GBPVR on my system and I'm running into problems. I have two cards, a PVR150 and a PVR150MCE. The PVR150 works perfectly, the PVR150MCE does not.
The MCE gives me a black screen when I try the TuningAssistant and when I try it in GBPVR. I tried the PVR150 with w/o the cable plugged into it and I get static. The black screen I get with the MCE is a completely black screen, not static or anything like that. I have most recently tried the MCE without the PVR150 in the system and I still just get the black screen. I have tried old drivers and newer drivers and it does not seem to matter which drivers I use, I get the same result.
I can play the videos I have recorded with the PVR150 without any problems through GBPVR and view Live TV when I have the PVR150 in the system.
I have attached my log files with just the MCE in the system. Not being able to get this to work is driving me crazy!! Thanks for any help you can provide.
Ever since I setup my PCH and launched GBPVR on it, the screen has resized (it is always over scanned badly) and will jump back and forth with different amounts of the menu and lists showing (once video playback starts it is flawless). While it is use-able, it is annoying. Anyone else seen this? Thinking it could be my TV trying to size the GBPVR output..
Is there a plan to get GB-PVR to autostart on the PCH? Not that it happens often, but when I restart the GB-PVR server (it is running on Windows) the PCH disconnects and only way to get it to connect again seems to be to pull the power and get it to connect again...
I tried to use GBPVR with my new tuner card but have not had any luck. I modified my bda.ini file to what I think it is supposed to be. Am I doing something wrong or is the software just not compatible with my card.
When I run the GBPVR software and click "Live TV" nothing happens. If I click "Settings" then I can briefly see the menu on the top left but it does not stay active long enough for me to even click on anything. All the other options seem to work.
Thanks,
K
