Vista x64, GB-PVR v1.2.9. GB-PVR working fine (got EPG fine, recorded fine, etc.).
Now:
Format/reinstall (same OS), reinstall GB-PVR (same version), copy over some essentials (config.xml, gbpvr.db3). GB-PVR runs well for a couple of weeks, (recording single shows/recurring shows get picked up OK) until I notice the EPG data had run out. I figured out that it must have still had the data from the old file (in gbpvr.db3) This was over a week ago and because I was moving house at the weekend I just had to leave it. Now I'm settled in the new house and the same thing with no EPG. After much fannying on, I eventually uninstalled and reinstalled fresh. This means fresh config files as well. Before this fresh reinstall of GB-PVR (in the other house), I'd tried scanning for channels but it always came back saying none found.
In my other house I'd always had a strong signal, the aerial was only a few months old and designed for Freeview but GB-PVR had reported no channels found. During scanning I would see programmes appear as it scanned through but it wouldn't list any so there were none to save. In this new house I scan and I still see pictures as it runs through the frequencies but again - nothing listed and 'no channels found'. Different aerial and same result.
I've tried disabling AV (Kaspersky) and also adding it to the trusted apps so it doesn't monitor opened files, etc. but it didn't help. I'd already turned off Vista's UAC a long time ago and still no luck. Before I'd reinstalled GB-PVR and using the old config files, I could switch to different channels and see a perfect picture, so it works - I just can't tune.
After I saw no EPG data originally, I thought it was only that problem I had so I set up XMLTV and that worked fine except it refused to get a few important channels. With DVB EPG everything worked perfectly which leads me to the situation I'm in now. I've tried the Cyberlink mux and DVR-MS. My TV card drivers are the latest from Compro.
I don't think photo library supports photos taken by camera with orientation sensors (ie. display vertical photos and vertical). Maybe a good enhancement for future release? Also, are there any good plugins for photo? Something like Apple's frontrow or AppleTV would be really nice.
I'm running 2 avermedia a180 cards under Vista Ultimate. Been using vista media center for a while (xp mce 2005 before that), but I've recently bought a NMT and decided it was time to explore gbpvr because of its NMT extensions.
To the best of my knowledge, I got all the MCE services/programs stopped before launching gbpvr. Several services and some local running "eh*" apps killed off.
I followed the tuner setup instructions and channel remapping stuff from the installation notes (ie: T:36,3,1).
If I try to watch LiveTV, I just get a black screen and it eventually dumps back into the menu.
If I try to record a show, it writes a 6k file to disk twice then nothing more.
At first I suspected drivers. Mine were the original vista release for the cards. I updated to the latest version (which was several revs newer) to no avail.
I thought maybe I had the channel mappings wrong, but here is what's interesting: I had a show scheduled to record last night in MCE, so I fired it back up... and the tuner was set to the channel I tried from gbpvr. I'd specifically picked that channel because I never watch it and never record from it, so it'd have no reason to be on it except if it was tuned specifically. So its like gbpvr tuned the card, but didn't/couldn't display the video.
I didn't see anything "wrong" in the logs except the comments from the recorder about the file being too small and trying again.
Any ideas? I'm sure I probably need to list more information, so let me know whats relevant and I'll update.
I'm only interested in OTA ATSC recording. In fact, I don't even have a VHF antenna. I don't care about the analog inputs on the card and nothing is plugged into them.
I noticed a problem when recording 2 consecutive shows. I only have 1 tuner, and somthing haoppens in the second show where it seems to stop recording, and i can not play back the file that has been recorded. It is as if the file got corrupted. I have had this happen twice and am not sure what might be causing it. I record directly to mpeg and am affraid that it could have something to do with the muxes.
This would definitely not be a priority of any sort, but could there be an option to not display the extension of a file name if one is browsing files in thumbnail mode?
It only occurred to me because I leave my Video Library in thumbnail mode and my wife asked me what ".iso" meant...
It'd be nice to use a different skin for the PCH and MVPs. Since the PCH supports higher resolutions and widescreen, I'd like to use a different skin vs what I use to the MVPs today, but they share their setting. I suspect I'm not the only person that will have a PCH and MVP coexisting on their system.
I'm trying to find the BDA drivers for a USB DVD World 2101 device. I can find them for the 2102, and an expired link for the drivers for the 2101. Does anyone have them?
