Having finally updated the CommunitySkin v3.0 to handle most of the plugins out there, McBainUK, Hairy, and myself would like to here from users about ideas that can make these better. This thread is in the Developers area so it doesn't clutter the announcements thread.
Is there anything that could be done to the SkinPlugin or CommunitySkin to make user changes easier/better?
I just just recently gotten myself an 'Inifnity USB Pheonix' reader - and now can read a Irdeto1 card for a few channels.
My problem is that when i use Yankse it decodes the channels for maybe an hour at best - then starts saying things like....
19:59:15: [00] SC-Irdeto: ECM Proccessed, CHID=FFA4 (0.438)
19:59:15: [00] SC-Irdeto: card was not able to decode the channel
19:59:11: 0: Wrong decryption key (status: 9e 00)
19:59:11: [00] SC-Irdeto: ECM Proccessed, CHID=FFAE (0.328)
19:59:11: [00] SC-Irdeto: card was not able to decode the channel
now i know that its sayins wrong decryption key - but heres the clincher ...
If i put the card back into our STB - it then sorts itself out and is working again - when the card is in the STB i never get errors.
If i put back into the pheonix reader after having it working on the stb - chances are Yanksee or acamd will work (assuming ive somehow fluked and picked the right config settings).
Which is better to use randegast server or newcamd ??
Ive had the channels decoding in the past using newcs and either yankse or acamd md plugins.
Once the plugin decides that it cannot decode it anymore - thats it - until i put the card back into the stb for it to sort itself out.
Id love some guidance as to what settings i should be enabling or disabling for the various programs.
Ive tried various version of newcs and yankse.
If anyone else has md plugins that work for irdeto1 let me know...
For over a year I've been struggling to fix an intermittent audio problem on some of the digital channels from my cable STB. Four times a different "Cable guy" has knocked at the door tells me my signal is within the limits and there is no problem. Then I show him the stations that don't get sound. They go through drill of jiggling cables etc and the sound comes back and the guy leaves.
Anyway on Wednesday # 5 comes "fixes" the problem and I come home to find that the cable to my computer isn't working, in fact 3 of the 5 cableco installed lines aren't working.
Finally yesterday, number 6 comes and he solves the problem. First of all brainiac # 5 had switched the input signal to the output line on a splitter. He said that was because in their sealed junction box I had a 4 way and 3 two way spliiters and he was able to remove 2 useless splits. On top of that he said the 4 way splitter was old and needed to be replaced AND it was only rated to 600 Mhz when digital cable needs 1 Ghz.
Now everything is great. The big side effect is my HVR 1600 now gets clear QAM reception, no dropouts or pixelation with an 8db signal gain some of which I've been blaming on bad drivers. Sorry Hauppauge.
First, the recording service won't start! Secondly, gbpvrtray.exe gets application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). After applying the recording svc patch, the OSD patch, and the multiple music tracks patch. Dead in the water - neither GBPVR or PVRX2 will start, get same hex error above!!
Looking around at options for viewing HD recorded content over my network....looking around it appears the ZIOVA CS615 seems to be full-featured and might be a good option.
I will need to decide if I am going to continue with a network based player or build a dedicated HTPC that would be connected directly to my LG HD.
Looking for some feedback and ideas. I would love it if Hauppage would offer an HD version of the MVP but I haven't seen anything even suggesting they are going down that path.
I recently purchase a Leadtek DTV 1000 S to use as a second capture device in GBPVR, but I just can't get it working.
I know this isn't in the list of supported BDA devices, but since the 1000 T is I thought it would probably work.
Graphedit showed this;
This is what I added to BDa.ini:
[WinFast DTV1000 S]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=WinFast DTV1000 S BDA DVBT Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=WinFast DTV1000 S BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
I used 'WinFast DTV1000 S' as the name as this is what shows in device manager.
When I scan for channels all I get is 'unknown 1' 2,3,6 repeated 6 times (once for each frequency) or sometimes BBC 1,2,3 and news24 repeated 6 times, but when I watch them they correspond to the last frequency scanned not the first (which is the BBC stuff)
The card works perfectly with it's own software but just won't do anything with GBPVR. do I need to do something special when I set up a second capture device? I tried to set it as device number 2 but then it didn't work at all.
any help would be appreciated.
I'm sorry if this message was a bit abrupt but I just wrote a really long and detailed message and Firefox crashed on me, so this is my abbreviated version.
I just installed the latest version of gppvr. Everything seems to work fine except for the net radio. It will start playing and continue for ~20 minutes, then stop playing. It always seems to stop after the same amount of time, regardless of the radio station playing. I have all power saving features and screensavers disabled, both in gppvr and windows. It's running over a wireless internet connection that is usually stable. Any suggestions? The system: windows xp sp2, 1 GB ram, athlon 64 3000+, geforce 7300, happague wintv pvr 150 mce.
