Hi There,
I am trying out the ML2 (latest 6.7beta) on gbpvr 1.1.5 for the first time. This is on a win2k3 server, sp2 with .Net2 libraries installed.
After installation, I set the pvr Config to point to the "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Plugins\MusicLibrary2" location for the ML2 .db3 file, added a couple of folders in the local disk e:\ to the "Collections\Paths" tab and upon saving/scanning under the "Library update" tab, I immediately get the following -- it also happens each time I try to run the ML2 from PVRx2 directly -

At which point everything just freezes and I need to kill all gbpvr config, pvrx2 etc. processes and restart. DO I need taglibs or something else? WMP (ver 10.00.00.3998) plays everything on the computers just fine.

Directories, in case it helps:

Basically, I haven't been able to setup or run ML2 - Please let me know what is it that I am doing wrong or need to fix. Any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated.
TIA,

I have a Hauppauge MCE150 & a HVR1600. Ive got it set up with both and doing clearqam. I can start the tv, and watch either qam or regular tv with no problems. the problem is if I try to switch from one to the other, i just get a black screen with no audio. I have to either get out of pvrx2 Or load a movie/recorded show, let it start then go back to TV to get back to watchable TV. As long as a I stay with whichever tv format I started with Its ok, just between the two is a problem.

Thinking it was a codec issue, ive switched everything in the system into every combo I can, with no help.

Any ideas?

I am pretty new to PVR apps in general. GBPVR is the first one I stumbled upon a few weeks ago after buying a nova-t500 for my XP desktop.

The functionality is brilliant, and I’m sure I’m only just getting started, but the picture quality is rubbish on everything. (I.e. recordings, media files, DVD’s). Sound is fine however. By rubbish quality I mean: Weak colour, obvious compression graininess (anything without much light looks hideous).

Everything I normally watch (i.e. media files, DVD’s, HD stuff) is run in overlay mode to my HDTV through digital component video and looks great. (I think the overlay mode is being handled by ATI control centre). I recently noticed that if I run the recorded files in Media player classic on overlay mode (my usual) the picture is perfect.

Well having read up about poor quality I know I have to set GBPVR to the same video renderer as the stuff that works. Problem is there’s no overlay option for PVRX2.exe and GBPVR.exe doesn’t seem to respond to the config app.

What can I do??

Thanks a lot

I like the gbpvr EPG & scheduler, used it with a hauppauge PVR1300. I had to change cards- the 1300 kept locking up the PC. I've now got the pinnacle USB stick shown above. It isn't shown in the supported list, so I added the following to BDA.ini, as per the guide.

[Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T Stick (72e)]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=PCTV DiBcom BDA Digital Tuner (Dev1 Path0)
FILTER_CAPTURE=PCTV DiBcom BDA Digital Capture (Dev1 Path0)
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

This does not work - config cannot detect the stick, and when I tick the box "Only show devices detected in this machine" I get back "No known cards detected in this machine"

Can anyone help?? DVB Dream and web scheduler work, but I prefer the gbpvr guide/scheduler.

Hi. I've recently purchased a "Hauppauge WinTV DMB-T digital HDTV/SDTV stick" from DVclub.com.hk (in Shamshuipo, Hong Kong). The distributor is Shooting.com.hk.

This is a digital TV only USB2 stick released specifically for the Hong Kong market. It was
released on the 19th Feb. for pre-orders and general availabilty will be on the 25th.

It comes with Arcsoft TotalMedia as the software rather than WinTV. Check the Shooting website
for a software bugfix patch.

With Arcsoft TotalMedia I get the recorded SDTV channels as MPEG-2 transport streams and the
HDTV channels as MPEG-4 transport streams.

I was hoping Hauppauge would give me the best compatibility with GB-PVR but no luck so far.

So how do you set this up for GB-PVR? How can I test if I have BDA drivers?

When I select Direct Recording plugin my device is not listed in the capture devices list. I just get a blink of a black screen and it returns to the main menu when I try Live TV.

When I select BDA Recording Plugin, again my device is not listed in the Devices Type list. If
I try to "Map digital channels to EPG channels" it says "Failed to locate configured BDA
capture device" then crashes.

I am using GB-PVR v1.1.5. Logs attached.

Cheers.

I use Cyberlink Powerdirector v6 to produce videos. I have a small video that I'm trying to watch both on the MVP and on the computer (tried PVRX2 & GBPVR). The same thing happens on both. I get the video but no audio. I have downloaded and installed VLC and I get the video & audio there. I have searched the forums because I thought I remembered this problem a long time ago but I can't find the answers.

I'm desperate. Any video that I've recorded with PVRX2 works just fine. The wife can watch all 30 episodes of CSI that we've got recorded so I know the software seems to work fine. The problem seems to be this other video.

I know this might not be a problem with GBPVR but you guys have solved so many other problems that you're the first place I turn.

Any suggestions?

i am using the keyspan remote map editor to assign keystrokes to various buttons.

I have gotten all other buttons to work using my JVC remote except the up down arrows to scroll the main gbpvr menu. I have mapped the up and down channel keys to the up and down arrows on the keyboard, but it still will not make the menu go up and down like when i physically press up and down arrows on the keyboard. any suggestions or alternate key strokes?

Noobie here, so please excuse the obvious questions :o

- I have been unsuccessfully trying to create Capture Sources for the Analog and QAM tuners on the HVR-1600. Can some kind soul provide clear instructions
- Add to this the issue with my Comcast cable feed. When using WinTV to tune the Clear QAM channels, I cannot tune any channels when scanning "Channels by Country". I have only been able to tune the Clear QAM channels using the "All Frequencies" options (This is my fourth Hauppage card - I was also unsuccessful in tuning Clear QAM on an AverMedia m780). How would I go about adding/scanning for available Clear QAM channels on GBPVR?

Thanks.

I have a MCE 150 (capture source #1), MCE 150 with composite in, an HVR 1600 QAM, but when I tried to install the HVR 1600 analog, it won't work.

When I try to install it, I check 'only show devices detected' and I got a list of PVR150mce, 1500MCE, HVR 1600 analog. I chose the 1600 analog, direct plugin, and capture source #1. It took this but when I go and run pvrx2 livetv only has sound and a black screen. I went back and re-did it for capture source #2 and it says I don't have the correct drivers installed. What am I doing wrong? Should I switch the capture sources (flip flop them) between the 150MCE and 1600 (make 1600 #1 and 150 #2)?

If I'm watching live TV, I only get information about the program when I switch channels and that's it. If I hit the blue button or ctrl-b nothing happens. If I pause it, it comes up though. Is this normal?

It works fine during recordings. I'm using VMR9 FSE if that helps.
