I saw on Hauppauge's website that they had a beta version (3.4.???) of their software out that they claimed worked with Windows Vista 32-bit. I downloaded it, installed it, disabled the Hauppauge services and copied the dongle.bin to the GBPVR dongle directory. So far (a couple of hours), I haven't had any problems (knock on wood). Has anyone else tried this?
Ok, maybe I didn't give it enough time, but it seems that comskip isn't working on programs I recorded via digital QAM channels. I just sat down to watch Knight Rider in HD with the wonderful hope that all commercials were gone, and they were not. It looked like it didn't even try. Is it because these files have different extensions other than mpg?
I just upgraded my cable service today from analog to basic digital through Comcast. I am using a Hauppauge 1600 tuner. I am using PVRX2 and yapi2xml to get my EPG. After upgrading to the digital signal, I no longer get any EPG. I have re-acquired the Comcast digital channels in the config module (capture sources/edit recording source/update EPG). I then ran update EPG in PVRX2. Now what I get in TV Guide is channels 1-98 with message "no show details." I can watch these channels but I get no information for them and cannot schedule recordings. Then I also have additional channels 99-952 that lists show information. This information seems to be the show information that should correspond to channels 1-98 (with some extra channels for the expanded digital lineup). None of the channels with show information actually work when I try to watch TV directly or record from them. Only channels 1-98 with no show information work. Of course, I cannot schedule recordings for channels 1-98, but I am able to watch TV on them. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
P.S. I have seen where people wanted to view the file config-exe-native.log for various issues, so I have attached it here in case it is needed to help diagnose my problem.
I have a couple of large playlists to separate my music from my wife's and I'd like to be able to randomize them when playing them. If I go to the playlist screen when nothing is playing, I see my imported playlists there, but if I press the red button when on a playlist or in the list of tracks on the right hand side, nothing happens. Is it not possible to randomize M3U playlists within ML2?
In my haste to upgrade my PC I forgot to take note of the DVB-S Tuner settings. I did though make a copy of the gbpvr folder. Before I climb back on the roof to have a look at the LNB, is there maybe a chance that gbpvr stores these somewhere where I can retrieve the LOF/LNB settings from my retained/old gbpvr folder??
With the DigiTV app and 2 USB adaptors i can currently record any number of programs from a single mux and watch and record from another mux
so, record bbc1, bbc2, bbc3, bbc4, watch ITV and record ITV2
Can I do the same with GBPVR ? I currently use Meedio which is no longer supported and it integrates with DigiTV, but after reading about GBPVR and having a quick look I am intrigued and will give it a bash, but would like to know about the above before I start making serious changes to my setup
I hope you can help me with a problem that I am having with getting EPG populated. I have been using GBPVR with an Hauppauge HVR3000 dual tuner card for several weeks now, with the DVB-T receiving UK freeview, and the DVB-S pointing to Astra. Everything has been working fine, including EPG update from both sources, until about 2 weeks ago, when it mysteriously stopped working. Now it just displays "no show details" on all channels. I have attached the config.zip file which shows the details when I hit "update epg" in the config utility. What happens is that it states "starting scan", and then almost immediately "saving channel information and listings'' - normally it should take a few minutes to download all the EPG information.
About 2/3 down in the log file, an error message appears, which states:
2008-02-17 21:08:10.406 ERROR [4] Unexpected failed in DvbEpgReader.LoadChannels(): System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any idea what this means? Any help would be greatly appreciated; other than the EPG problem, GBPVR works like a charm!
