I have had this problem for a while and cannot see what is causing it. I have just upgraded to the new version from a fairly old one. The improvements are very obvious but this issue carries over suggesting it is a setup issue.
I have checked my channel mappings and the channel is there, I can record it when I use the EPG. I only use manual recording when my epg is not updated and there is no program information. Unfortunately the channel I need is not available in the list.
I think the issue might be related to the EPG. A while ago I changed the epg I use and as a result I rescanned and remapped the channels. During this process I recall ending up with the new channels and the old channels, basically all channels were duplicated in my scanned and mapping lists. Some how I removed the duplicates but I am not sure how. I am not even sure I removed the channels scanned from the old epg or the new one.
Not sure if I have just got some kind of confused database of channels. Anyone have a similar problem and find the answer I would appreciate the help.
I've finally been able to get the channel logos displayed on the server machine and EWA, but so far, still no luck on the client PC. I've tried both File Sharing and Streaming mode but it didn't work for either.
Running GB-PVR 1.2.13 on both.
Server OS: Windows XP Pro SP2
Client OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1

Hey guys
I have been looking at the hauppauge website as I am trying to find a dual tuner for both analogue tv in nz and satelite freeview, but unfortunately all the Qam ntsc atsc etc etc confuses the crap out of me.
I currently have a nova-s + and a 500mce dual tuner with one slot spare, what i want to do is have 3 cards in total, 1 pci-e x1 and 2 pci that will allow me to record upto 3 sat channels and analogue prime.
Any suggestions how I can do this or should I go down the road of a server with more slots?
Cheers
Edit:
has anybody looked at this card?
BGT3540 :: 6 in 1 :: Dual digital satellite, Dual digital terrestrial, Dual analogue terrestrial :: PCI express card
HI, I have an MCE beanbag dual blaster I am using with a 2450hdc STB. I have installed the
new mceir.sys driver
installed hip
learned and verified/blasted stb 0-9 buttons
installed hipsend
configure .exe hipblaster with '{channel} parameter in tuner source of gbpvr config
set up alternate input in hip to accept virtual ir signals from hipsend
Everything is working unless I select a channel higher than 9 (i.e. 2 or more digits consecutively)
I think that gbpvr sends a blast for each digit just like when one uses a stb It appears from the STB that periodically the first digit is received but not the remaining. If I send "134" with the MCE remote, the STB receives "1", if I send "46" the STB receives "4". Has anyone experienced this anomaly or have I got something configured incorrectly. GBPVR seems to be sending the sequences too slow or not at all. Any help appreciated
media-mvp is working great with my server. but recently i'm fiddling on a pc client too, and this one has issues with live tv (no troubles with recordings, video/music library/pictures all from server):
* with mode "streaming" enabled, watching first live channel is still fine (no stuttering), but client crashes after changing channel to another one
* with mode "file sharing", live program stutters but changing channels is possible, no crashes.
so, right now i've tried several different audio / video decoders, no breakthrough. should i upload any logs? from server, from client? any help as allways much appreciated
I was hoping that somebody here might be able to help me. I've been trying to troubleshoot this myself by reading through these forums with no luck. I am able to get as far as running gbpvr but that's where I run into problems. All I'm trying to do right now is play a ripped dvd movie stored on the gbpvr server. When I go to play it, it looks like it's going to work but it reverts back to the "Video Library". The firewall is completely disabled I even re-shared the directory many times hoping that would fix it. I attached my logs in hopes that somebody could easily pinpoint my problem. Thanks in advance
I manually downloaded the channel icons from my cable provider's TVGuide website and supplemented those with the few missing icons from Google icon searches. Most of the icons are 30x20 (I assume this is fine). The original images were all in the .gif format. I ran the wonderful Channel Logo Tool, and painstakingly matched all of the channels and exported them to the ChannelLogos folder with the options. None of the channel logos showed up. I searched the GB-PVR wiki for documentation, and experimented with different settings for the <TVGuideChannelHeaderType> item in the GB-PVR config file. The original value, I believe, was 5 (unlisted). I tried 3 (app decides which to used based on the number of channels with icons available) and 1 (number + name), which appears to match the filenames (26 TNT.gif, for example). None of these settings helped, even after restarting all the background recording settings. I also tried batch converting all of the files to .jpg format, adding the conversions to the same directory (ChannelLogos) after reading a post indicating that .jpg would work. This did not help.
I am new to GB-PVR, HTPC setups, and even cable tv as a whole, but proper channel icons would sure be welcome. I'm having a hard time navigating the many channels.
