This is by no means a major issue but I've been ripping my dvd collection and converting them to avi formats. I use DVD decrypter to rip the dvds to a folder. On my test machine I can add that folder to my video library directories list and it will come up as movietitle.dvd. When I select that it will load up as if I actually had the DVD in the drive. On my actually system, if I do this the screen just goes black and nothing happens. I thought it might be because I didn't have daemon tools loaded but thats not the case as it is not on either machine. Any thoughts? I can post the logs tonight if they are needed.
I just bought a new Media MVP. Rev H4. I was able to start it with GB-PVR using the default dongle from 1.1.5. I never even started with the Haupauge soft...
So I decided to try some different dongles, and I don't think it's letting me. I power cycle like normal, but whenever I try with a mvpmc dongle, (last stable and latest alpha 1/20) I just get the normal, GB-PVR screen. Maybe I'm out of touch, but has mvpmc been changed to go straight into GB-PVR, without a config file...
Anyway, I don't really see any difference so I think my H4 is holding onto the dongle, and won't a new dongle get loaded. Ever heard of that?
No problems scanning for channels and can view all no conditional channels.
When I try and view a Conditional Access channel... I get a no signal screen or just blank.
FireDTV supply a software package called FireDTViewer.
The viewer shows all channels including all conditional perfectly!
I have a Nova-S card which has been working fine. I also have a Technomate set top box that I used before getting the Nova-S.
Now, I tried to connect them together by connecting the Nova-S to the loop through of the Technomate, but it broke the Nova-S card. The Nova-S will did not tune, I rebooted and the PC will not boot (not even a bios splash screen) when the Nova-S is plugged in.
Has anyone tried looping the connections like this?
Is this not a correct thing to do?
How should I connect them?
When I try and play some MP3 files pvrx2 bombs out with a "do you want to send MS an error report" dialog.
Other MP3 files created at the same time by the same method work fine.
The files that don't work in pvrx2 will play in WMP, winamp etc. They were all generated by the LAME v3.96 plugin for audacity, as a batch of MP3 created from one split wave file.
Does pvrx2 do its own MP3 decoding? Why do these odd files fail? How can I fix it?
I am getting a bsod with the error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT on it. I'm not sure what device it relates to but it happens always (as far as I can tell so far) about midnight possibly just after, possibly at the start of a new recording.
It is not specifically all recordings or may not be related to recordings but it seems to occur when starting recordings that start at midnight. Could be a red-herring, it could be some task that pvrx2 is doing at about midnight, EPG and conversions are not done at that the (EPG at 2am and no conversions).
I think the error is (according to MS) driver related and I can only think that the tuner drivers are the ones being used when starting a recording. If that is the only possibility I will update the drivers but is there any other thing that may be happening?
The Tuners are both Nova-T PCI cards and the driver version is 2.119.25023.0 according to the driver properties.
I have 2 driver disks v2.1 and v3.4A - I thought I installed version 3.4A but looks like this is not the case. Even so has anyone seen this error? and which is a good version drivers for win 2000. I just downloaded 3.8 to try later unless it's something else.
In file share mode i can not watch live tv because it is slow and choppy. Also i get no audio when playing back recordings. If i open the live show in VLC it plays fine. Also recordings play fine in VLC.
In streaming mode everything seems to work ok but quality is low and menu response is slow.
I have tried the two different decoders with the same results plus the overly type seems to have no effect.
