I am new to GB-PVR. So far, things seem to be coming together pretty smoothly. I was able to map all the channels for the ATSC tuner. I can watch live TV.
If I go and try to view a show I previously recorded with the bundled WinTV app, I get sound but I get no video image. This is for HD shows that were recorded from the ATSC tuner. Shows recorded previously from the Analog tuner play fine.
I have not tried recording a show in GB-PVR yet to see if it makes a difference.
I have not used the recording function in a few weeks. Last night (and today) I have been attempting to record without success. I looked in the recording failed with a message: "ERROR ConnectFilters:Failed(2)". Appreciate any help I can get in deciphering and fixing this issue. Thanks.[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
I take a chance that some one here recognize my problem and can come with a tip to point in the right direction.
I have a HTPC connected to a LCD TV. A couple of days ago I installed a new graphic card with Radeon HD 3450.
After a series of reinstallations and registry cleaning I finally got everything working.
Well nearly everything anyway
This computer is always on, When we want to use it, we switch the TV to HDMI (dvi<>hdmi) as input and use the remote to control the comp and GBPVR.
But the problem now is that the graphic card puts itself in some hibernation mode when our TV is set on something other than HDMI.
The trouble is that I can not wake it. When I select hdmi, I only get a black screen. The computer is working (I accidentally started playing a movie yesterday when I tried to wake it, but all I got was sound) but no picture.
I have turned of screensavers and energy saving modes.
What I can do is to use the power button on comp or remote to set the computer in hibernation and then wake it from that again.
Does anybody have any ideas how to get rid of this "feature"? Or how to wake the graphic from it's coma...
I have just installed 1.1.5 and found that after installation I set up the capture card and the EPG using a BDA Recording Plugin and a DVB EPG Broadcast source. The installation workedd perfectly and the EPG was updated and was visible in the guide.
I then configured the directories to reflect thte locations that I wish to use. I updated the following and changed from the default setiings;
Recordings Directory
Live TV Buffer Directory
Video Library Directories
Music Library Directories
Photo Library Directories
After this I tried to update the EPG and I experienced a problem with the update hanging on the first channel. It would count down the 60 secs and then stop and not change to the next channel. Subsequently the update failed.:mad:
I recently did a re-install of my machine, and started with a clean 1.1.15 gbpvr. When I start my mvp (with the green button), emulation mode kicks in nicely, but then the screen hangs on 'Starting Application'. In the windows eventlog, I find this error:
For some reason, the appearance of my recordings list changed. Every recording used to have 3 text lines. Now suddenly, a couple of blank lines have been added. I assume PVRX2 now tries to shows an image of the recording. But since it can find none, it's just empty space left of the recording.
Is there a way to turn of this feature and revert to the 3 lines per recording?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but what's the difference between GBPVR and PVRX2? I have GBPVR mostly working, even though I don't yet have a capture card, but when I launch PVRX2 I just get a (transparent) blank window and the application hangs. What should happen?

Can anyone please advise me on the suitability of using WinTV-HVR-1600 MC-Kit (the Windows Media Center version of the HVR-1600) versus a standard WinTV-HVR-1600, with GBPVR? It looks like the cards are identical, with just a different remote...? Am I giving anything up by buying the MC version? Any functional differences?
