Need some help in configuration:

Seems to have basics working but...

1. On PC screen, LiveTV looks good. When I move the PVRX2 window to the TV (output to TV via S-video; dual display with different resolutions and refresh on a 6800GS card), fast pictures (like a hockey game), it seems to miss some frames...not quite jerky but definitely hard to watch.
Fixes?

Note that if I leave PVRX2 on the PC screen and set NVIDIA drivers to "when I watch video content ....also show it full screen" setting which shows PVRX2 on PC while full-screen output is on TV, it is smooth. Jerky only when watching PVRX2 application which has been dragged to the "display 2" TV.

Using NVIDIA mpeg codecs.

___EDIT

After some more playing, if I put PVRX2 application on TV display, and enable the full screen video option, this gives me GUI on TV but the video is still choppy. Is there a way to get GUI on TV, and have video/Live TV play smoothly? Or I am crazy to try to avoid having dedicated PC for PVR software?

I have already noticed that if the application is not the "active" window on the PC, the remote gets ignored which worries me in terms of multi-functional use....

Do I have displays and windows set-up to optimium? What is best config? I would like PVRX2 running and GUI seen only on TV and would like smooth video on TV....

2. Sound. I am using a "multi-purpose" PC for output to the TV but also want to be able to use PC for other things. Right now, I "Y" the sound to PC speakers and TV inputs. Ideally, I would like to have GV-PVR running in background (minimized to tray) and displayed on TV and only the sound from GB-PVR window going to the TV (not PC). While at the same time, PC sound going to PC speakers...

How? Would two sound cards work? Will windows let me have two sound cards? How to I set GBPVR and windows for this config? (I have SB PCI card and on-board sound so this might work?)

3. On TV, I see the top blue "windows" task bar on PVRX2 window....how can I hide this? (This is when PVRX2 is run as window displayed only on TV display....which I need to see GUI on TV versus PC. See comments above when I try to run in this mode and get choppy video.

4. How do I set recording quality? I see I can change pre-configured settings in the config utility, but what setting is PVRX2 using by default?

Thanks.

Hello all,

Our recording service (using GB-PVR v1.0.16) started failing today as we were unable to add new recording entries into the system. There were also some problems with existent (recurring) recordings entries. I've attached a zipped section/copy of the log file 'MVP-PVRX2.exe-1.log' where there appears to be a problem updating the database as indicated by 'The database file is locked' text. Is there a way unlock? Is this the problem or is this a symptom of something else?

All help is appreciated...

Anyone else see this:

Is the $1500 price range what we can expect in order to do HD capture over component cables? Has anyone seen any similar devices for less?

Hi,

I'm pretty new to GB-PVR (v1.1.5). Common theme hunh? Tried it a while back, but never got it working - time for round 2...


I have Aver MediaCenter & drivers installed.

In GB-PVR config,

I add the recording source (tried as device 1 & 2). Configure EPG & import channels. Works fine.

When I try to do the digital mapping I get unable to start BDA device



Device looks fine in Device Manager, but should 2 tuners be listed?



Muxchecker gives "no multiplexer filters" even though PowerDVD 7 is installed.



I attached filmerit check. It seems to have found errors with the driver configuration, but the magic ball button didn't fix them.

I'd appreciate any advise to get this working

Is there some way to play a whole genre,rather than having to go into a single album to play it? I like to be able to random play a whole genre.... when I can't be bothered scheduling a whole bunch of single albums to play.

Hi there, I'm a bit of a noob here, so please excuse the dumb question, but...

I've been using MCE for a long time but have become annoyed by lack of support for multiple tuner types, freeview epg etc so decided to try GBPVR. It's great but one thing I liked about MCE was how nicely it always buffered my tv (when watching live tv). I swtiched GB to use preview mode and was pleased with how quickly it changed channels. However I can't rewind live tv so switched it the other way and found it takes >10seconds to change channels.. not really usable (at all). I don't understand why it takes so long.. am I doing something wrong?

I'm running on windows xp pro + a single nova-s plus card pulling freeview down off Optus D1.

Cheers
Adam.

I've just managed to get gbpvr working and I'd like to sort comskip out, but I can't seem to. Can someone please tell me how this works and what I need to do to sort it.

Thnaks guys

Hi All

I've been getting a problem a few times recently where a recording appears in the 'Recordings' list OK but when it starts to play, the video is a mess and only runs for a few seconds then stops.

It started on only one channel (Channel 4 UK) but seems to be spreading to more now (ITV1, ITV2).

It looks to me like the signal strength is low but I don't really know what to look for in the logs, any help from you experts out there would be very much appreciated.

im sure ive seen something about this in the wiki but cant find it so could someone point me to it or explain how to do it?

thanks in advance,

Maybe someone can help me...

I have tried a number of PVR apps in the past. Now that zap2it no longer operates for free, my whole thing is messed up.

I JUST want a simply way to record tv. I don't need a whole entertainment program. I just want something, hopefully with an EPG, that will let me click on the program and record.

I have a Hauppauge Roslyn, so I can't use the normal programs like DScaler or Wincap? These record the video, but no audio is picked up by my card. Everything has worked fine in the past when using these big all in one PVR programs.

I'd use GBPVR if I was "babied" through setting up the EPG.
