Hi
I'm using GBPVR with an Avermedia A16AR PCI card, and my HD recordings seem to stop after about 30 seconds of stuttering videos, while the recording service tries to record the program forever!
Watching and not recording HD works, and both recording and watching SD works, although I can't get CC/Teletext captions to show/capture.
Edit: I can now record HD, and view captions but the captions are not being saved.
Having trouble setting up 2nd DVB-T card.
My current system consists of GB-PVR 1.15 using Pinnacle DVB-T and all works just great (so why not leave it that way says the wife! )
but I am trying to add a second DVB-t card, this one being a Peak DVB-T Digital TV Hybrid PCI which incorporates DVB / Analogue / FM tuners.
My first steps were the normal steps - Config/Capture Sources/Add/Select source as BDA go into settings
At this point I usualy use the "Only show detected devices" however I was surprised to see a whole load of devices :confused: as follows -
Lifeview flyDVB-T
Pinnacle (my old card)
Kworld DVB-t
Ads Tech Cardbus DVB-t
Medion 880 BDA
Asus MyCinema
Confused I thought I would go down the list trying each until I gained success but non of them will work. All available options produce the same result, ie save and return to edit source and click mapp digital channels where I am presented with the "GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device..."
Digging around the wiki I ventured into creating your own card bda.ini.
Using graphedit I can see receiver components
Pinnacle RoyalTS Capture
713x BDA Digital Capture
and source filters
Pinnacle RoyalTS Tuner
713x BDA DVB-T Tuner
so I created my new bda entry as -
[713x BDA DVBT]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=713x BDA DVBT Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=713x BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
all i want to do is automatically transcode everything i record into xvid or whatever from the dvr-ms files it records as.
what exactly do i need to add to my my gbpvr folder to make this work? i've tried reading but it seems like everything i find on the wiki starts me out at a step that is beyond where i am.
I saw that TVNZ was broadcasting their regular programming on DVB-T last night. Looked pretty good! Maybe just a test, but can't wait for it to go fully live. Anyway, just wondering about the current status of getting the sound working through GBPVR?
It would be nice if the system menu could display the same tuner status that the tray icon does. Tray icon is not easily accessible for us remote only guys.
It would also be nice to see the number of "days of EPG" like the EWA shows, either in the system menu or even as a flash up in the main menu (recording soon, recording now etc..)
I just tried to record something with about 3-4 hours BUT GB-PVR only recorded up to 2 hours 19 minutes. The tray icon said it was still recording though.
Are there any dual ATSC tuner cards available that are also QAM-capable? My selection of QAM channels is excellent (yeah!) so I don't really need another NTSC tuner......I do know about the HDHomeRun but I'm hoping for a card.......thanks!
A while ago I tried the AddEpisode recording to rename the recordings into something that was easier to search in windows. If memory serves correct I had some database issues with it and/or issues with it properly renaming all the associated files (comskip) so that when I deleted the recording within GBPVR, it left some files behind.
I have recently looked at (not tried) ZRename and UltraXMLTV since they are both listed as compatible with v.1.1.5. Neither one appears to be asconfigurable as AddEpisode was/is or they do more than I want them to.
I am curious as to what other people are using to rename their recordings and how they have them configured. Is anyone using AddEpisode with v1.1.5?
