Just wanted to let everyone know that I am back from my annual camping holiday (left on 7/18 and just got back today 7/27).
Sorry I forgot to let you all know that I was heading out....:o
When I remembered I tried the dial-up connection....but....I was only able to connect at 14.2kbs :eek: which was just too painful to try to do anything with....
after a few hours of running (without recording something), recording service crashes with nothing else than this in the recording service log:
Code:
2008-07-27 19:51:17.881 ERROR [7] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:: System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.
bei System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryMethodCallMessage.PopulateMessageProperties(IDictionary dict)
bei System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.MethodCall..ctor(Object handlerObject, BinaryMethodCallMessage smuggledMsg)
my windows is in german, so the error msgs are in german as well, but it's the standard 'object reference not set to an instance of an object' msg.
but i haven't seen this happening at "PopulateMessageProperties", yet...
sub: any ideas?
the other logs (native, pvrx2 logs) don't show anything when this happens
Not sure if a hardware (Nova HD S2) or GBPVR issue;
Inconsistent scan results, and channels disappear!
When I first installed the card I got most channels. I scanned once using the 0282 Astra .ini file, and then again using the 0285,ini for Eurobird 1. I got most of the Freesat channels, including BBC HD and the ZONE channels, plus I got Luxe HD.
However - and this is where it started to get flaky - I later re-scanned, when I realised I did not have Chanel 4 (AKA 8350), nor BBC News 24. I put a check in the 'ignore CRC errors during scan', and I did get 8350, but now I can never find any of the Zone channels, nor Luxe HD...And I never did find BBC News!
And to make things odder, the existing entries I had like the ZONE channels stopped working - just get a blank screen and the 'no signal' message (though it says signal strength and quality 100%). Also the stats indicate the blank screen with no audio is 'Mpeg 2 1024 * 576' with Mpeg layer 2 sound!
I never can get ITV HD - I added the settings into the scan.cache file manually, as advised by others, but have never seen a picture or got sound. I read they that are broadcasting more & more on this test channel, for example yesterday they simulcast the film 'Liar Liar' - which many watched and posted screen-caps of.
So I am at a loss - cannot understand why the first scan picked up channels that no amount of rescanning can ever find again:confused:
Maybe someone could post their scan.cache file(s) if they are getting everything available on Astra / Eurobird 1 - I could try it to see if it is a problem unique to me, like my dish has moved in the week?
I would like to share my setting with Hong Kong GBPVR users who would like to use GBPVR for DMB-T digital TV. I am able to view 4 MPEG2 channels, but still working out for H.264 channels. Here are my settings.
TV Cards:
AverMedia A855 USB - Able to see 4 channels
Galaxy M6MA PCI-E - Able to scan channels, but no luck so far; only on TotalMedia
Hauppauge PVR-500 - This is my old good dual analogue tuner, will not discuss here.
Latest drivers.
Codecs: AC3Filter 1.46, WinDVD 9, Cyberlink included with driver disk.
AverTV 6, TotalMedia 3.5

This will allow you to select "Hong Kong" as region and search channels faster.
Fixed. multiple paths on Xtra Emulators now working.
Added some additional error checking for rom paths being configured.
Added support for ePSXe version 1.70
Added Support for LCDSmartie, provides the emulator and the game being played
Fixed Mame Database to exclude non runnable files this includes BIOS files.
Fixed support of images with .png extension, supports png and jpg in that order.
Ok - since going to NZ DVB-T I've had the old annoying intermittent jerky playback problem again. In the past I'd fixed this with the DirectX Quartz.dll but this time I don't think its anything to do with that. It seems to only happen on TV3 recordings, maybe C4 but when I've done some testing it appears never on TV1 or TV2. The weird thing is it seems to occur more on some programs than others - I hammered a recording of CSI:NY skipping back and forth and it wouldn't happen (often the way when you TRY to make something fault) having played with a few registry settings for the Cyberlink H264 decoder (version 8), but in a recording of The Simpsons it seemed to happen all the time...... Am I going mad? Is it likely to happen more on Cartoons??? Are non HD programs the TV3 is upsampling being broadcase without the right Bitstream Flag to notify the decoder that its interlaced.
UPDATE - I realised it had been constantly jerky watching Animal Academy from TVNZ6 with my kids (Animal mad!) to thought this flew Interlaced out the window but then I looked it up and found 1 and 2 are 720 progressive, TVNZ6/7 are 576 Interlaced!!! So it really looks like my problems are to do with De-interlacing (or lack there of?)
Has anyone out there had similar results to me - I've using a Gforce 9600GT and get CPU utilization between 10-14% even on TV3 so its not a case of the pc not being up to it I don't think.
Any input greatly appreciated to improve WAF - She wants to go back to Analogue but I am loving using my whole TV and the picture looking sooooooo sharp - its taken my Viewsonic 37" LCD from looking ok to looking incredible!
Hi guys. I'm fairly new to GBPVR, but I like it a lot. I was able to get it working with an ATI Theatre 550 card, but am having real difficulty getting it to find channels from my Twinhan AD-SE200 DVB-S card.
This is what happens:
(1) I launch config.
(2) Add my Twinhan AD-SE200 as a capture source, select my satellite (Optus D1, NZ FTA) and set the Ku band LNB LO frequency (11300 Mhz).
(3) Hit the "Map digital channels to EPG channels" button.
As the scan occurs, I can actually see in the preview window TV programs sometimes briefly come up, but no channels are discovered.
If I extend the BDAPsiScanStartupSeconds and BDAPsiScanWaitSeconds parameters in the config.xml, I can see what's going on more clearly. As the scan is happening, I see only one channel per transponder show up in the preview window, but again when the scan finishes, it reports that no channels were found (even though they show up clear as a bell in the preview window).
The Twinhan Digital TV application finds all the channels just fine, so I know everything is OK with my dish and LNB.
I have tried everything I know, but am drawing blanks. Anyone got any advice for this newb?
