Thanks sub for making GBPVR in the first place, and a big thank you for incorporating the extra external app scheduling features in the latest release.
I can now have the UK TV listings app DigiGuide set recordings in GBPVR flawlessly. Bliss.
Now, if only you could get around to UK DVB-T radio channels...
the channel scanning for mapping with a hvr1600 qam tunning finds channels but it dont list any of the channels in the channels found window for mapping. i had to use a old scan from my xp dual boot to remap the channels. i have all the tunning requests saved to a text and i can put them in that way. so just wondering what is going on.
vista ultimate x64
hvr-1600
gbpvr 1.2.9
powerdvd decoder
ac3filter
When played from 'recordings' I am not getting a prompt for resume.
Resume works perfectly if I remember to select the button.
Video library does prompt as it should.
This was a new machine installed with 1.15 which showed this problem. Now up dated to 1.29 which also shows the problem.
Like an idiot, I enabled Vista firewall despite the fact that I have the Semantec Endpoint Security firewall running. I allowed application specific rules to pass and selected gbpvr.exe, the recording service, and I think epg update. When I tested gbpvr, nothing worked. It did work previous to the firewall changes.
I realized I was just being paranoid and trusted the SEP firewall to do its job, so I turned the Vista firewall off in admin tools (same way I turned it on). GBPVR still didn't work. The inbound rules I created were not there, which is strange, but the firewall is off so it shouldn't matter. I checked firewall in control panel and it is indeed off. (control panel is the dummied down version)
I re-started the gbpvr recording service. No go.
When I chose quick record, the recording service stays asleep. However, it does create a folder, it just never starts to record. I can update the EPG with no problem.
I went as far as to do a system restore to last night when all was good. no go, same as above. I removed GBPVR and re-installed, no go. I still just creates a folder where my recordings are, but never records.
Quote:As a general comment on the subject of muxing, its worth noting that a new checkbox has appeared in the 1.2.9 release on the misc tab, named 'use cached channel sequence headers', which enabled may improve muxing quality for all mux filters.
sub: so do you sometimes leave gbpvr out on the workbench overnight, and when you come down the stairs in the morning 'a new checkbox has appeared'
Is it the elves or the pixies - I think we shold be told...
I have two Hauppauge DVB-S+ PCI cards, one Hauppauge DVB-T USB Stick and one Freecom WideView USB Stick.
They are all detected as Hauppauge devices, and I've set them all to id #1 as the utility to detect the id didn't produce any output, so I presume that's ok. Setting the id to anything other than 1 and trying to scan results in errors.....
I'm pretty sure that the hardware is OK as I was running MythTV previously without any major problems.
So, I scanned everything just using the EPG as a starting point (will probably use Radiotimes later). Each card scanned ok and brought back the channels I would expect. (the sat cards did bring up the invalid format message, and the patch made it crash, but the channels were detected ok and A/V was visible/audible during the process).
Now I have two cards with all the UK freeview channels (30 or so) and two cards with the FTA Sat channels (more like 10).
However whatever I do I can only record/view one program at a time. It seems to be able to choose cards ok (i.e. I can watch C5 which is only on Freeview, and also NME TV which is only on Sky).
