Hi to all of you out there!

I just want to ask whether any of you has a Terratec Cinergy C PCI HD working with GBPVR (this card it the successor of the Cinergy 1200 DVB-C).

I tried it once (maybe 3-4 months ago) and failed. So before I start again I want to evaluate how good my chances will be this time.

Thanks in advance.

I just got a new HVR-1250 and installed it into my pc (which was running GBPVR 1.0.16 fine with a PVR-150). I installed WIN TV and verified that the HVR-1250 is working with sound and video.
I decided it would be a good time to upgrade to the latest version of GBPVR. I verified that my analog tuner installed correctly and is still working with the new installation. All OK.
I update my bda config file with this:

[Hauppauge HVR-1250MCE (ATSC)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod
FILTER_CAPTURE=Hauppauge WinTV 885 TS Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[Hauppauge HVR-1250MCE (QAM)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod
FILTER_CAPTURE=Hauppauge WinTV 885 TS Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

I install the new card go through the tuning process detect a bunch of pretty channels with no sound (I assume this is part of the tuner tool) and move on. When I open PVRX2 Everything looks ok but when I go to live TV I get no sound to go with the pretty HD picture.
I tried changing the Video renderer thinking it might be a compatibility issue no luck. Nothing seems to fix it. It is still working in WINTV.
I have attached a zip of my log files. Hopefully the file is not too big. Notably I have unmapped all of the stations except CH4 my mother in law is visiting and she wants to use the analog part of my PVR so I left the bulk of the channels unmapped.

As a second semi-related question: Can I present my live ATSC data to my MediaMVP? On my initial tests I was not even able to get the video. (I thought maybe the MVP audio would work).
If I can't run the live ATSC on the MVP can I record it and then present it?

I appreciate all of your help. I am sure we will be able to work this out.

I guess I should mention I am running Vista Ultimate (no install problems) Core 2 Duo 6300, 3GB ram

I have an SNES hooked up to my Hauppauge card. GBPVR is the only thing I could find to get rid of the 3 second PVR delay. It works great, except that the aspect ratio stays in widescreen. I've tried changing it to 4:3 in the "playback" tab in the config but it doesn't change. I'm not sure if the aspect ratio is the only reason its blurry, but it is. It looks pretty bad.

Anyone have any recommended settings for a console hooked up to the composite input?

I don't know enough about video playback to figure out the problem, but I have avi files from two different sources, one works, and one doesn't. I using GBPVR v1.2.9, with MediaMVP.

avi files recorded from an HP Photosmart camera play back fine.

avi files recorded with a Logitech notebook cam do no work. The screen goes blank for a second, and it seems like it is going to work, with the usual delay to allow for software decoding, but nothing displays and it just goes back to the list of video files.

Do you have any suggestions as to why this may happen? Is there a GBPVR setting that may fix it? What log file should I look at?

It seems that the core code calls GetRenderList() regardless of the result of neesRendering() as seen in below log snippet. Is this the expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong?

Installing Gb ona friend's HP Media Center and keep getting this message when we try to run the PVRX2. but no problems with GBPVR

So what am I doing wrong. any help you can offer would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks.

I just managed to get my HVR-900H going yesterday. However after scanning the DVB-T channels and watching livetv just once I get .NET runtime errors below for both config.exe and pvrx2.exe. It refuses to run again ever after rebooting.

I uninstalled and reinstalled vcredist, dotnetfx and gbpvr1.2.9 twice before I was able to get it working again. But like before I get the .NET runtime error after watching livetv just once and now refuses to run anymore like before.

I'm stumped as to how to find the cause of this problems. I thought it may be Cyberlink Powercinema the first time round so I uninstalled and replaced it with PowerDVD instead and still the same problem occurred.

Any suggestions?

I just downloaded iPlayer and downloaded a program. I can play the program with Windows media Player but if I try to play it with GBPVR on the PC I get "Error: Failure playing back file" and if I try to use the MVP it crashes it and restarts.

Is it that GBPVR can't play the .wmv files from iPlayer?
Or
Do I have to make changes else where?

Thanks for any help.

For the days you are just to lazy to drive to the store at the last minute to rent a movie. I was wondering if anyone streams movies legitimately from their GBPVR setup? If so what services / sites? I just got the Xbox 360 and like what it is capable of. So far though my wife and I haven't found any movies on it that we really wanted to see.

Will be used to play movies on a SDTV with 5.1. So it doesn't need to be HD quality.

Thanks,

I'd seen this before but forgot to raise it.

In the "search" menu, finding a show by picking a first letter (left hand side), then the show (middle) and then the time (right side) - when I press the red record button (MVP remote) the showtime is highlighted in red as expected, but the "cursor" moves into the top text-entry area and puts up a 'k' letter.
It would be nice to have the cursor stay where it was to allow tagging another show for recording. It's a little confusing at first, as there is no obvious way to see where the cursor is.

This doesn't seem to happen with PVRX2 on a client, the cursor seems to stay where it ought to.

Seems to be 100% reproducible for me.
