how can I create the .bin files for my Multichoice external receiver. I have them in normal hex files (.IR) from the IR Server (MediaPortal) or in Pronto format.
After trawling through the forums and the MVP wiki I thought I would add a note here for anyone who has the same problem as me when using GBPVR on the Hauppauge MediaMVP.
When trying to play any non-Mpeg 1/2 file the MVP would just reset back to the "contacting server" screen and after different dongles, changing the transcoding, installing/uninstalling the Hauppauge software I couldn't find out why this was happening.
After a lot of frustration I found one simple thing which was broken: I had no "C:/Temp" directory for the temporary transcoding to take place! That's all it was! Just FYI, in the "config" options, under the "directory" tab there is a reference to the temporary directory used to transcode files, normally "C:/Temp". I am assuming that this is the directory used by GBPVR when it does the transcoding for the MVP so just make sure you have this directory available!
Thanks to everyone for all the posts and help on the site, and to the authors of GBPVR - I'm now using GBPVR succesfully with my wireless MVP.
I have a problem with the image of live TV after installing the software. I have set all the TV channels ok and also the reception standard (Pal) and there is teletext and audio from the TV station but no image.
I am using XP and a analogue tunerboard from ASUS. 7131 Hybrid Tuner.
I have no problems with the program from Cyberlink PowerCinema.
When on the MAP view of weather it can be difficult to easily work out which image of the sequence you are on.
Is there anyway the images could be labelled in the top corner with x/y for x of y images, or perhaps show a horizontal bar with an indicator.
How about if you use a bar, look at the time for the image and colour code according to the time (ie light dark for day/night) so the bar would graduate from light > dark > light etc depending on the time span of the images.
I got a DVico FuisonHD Gold Card last summer, mainly to try and get some HD. My setup recently went HD, so i wanted some channels. I started with ATSC, OTA signals, however I realized I could get much better quality through the standard cable. I get the same channels. With Sub's amazing help, i was able to get my card working with QAM. Simply add this to your BDA.INI
[Dvico FusionHD 5 Gold QAM]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=FusionHDTV, BDA Tuner1
FILTER_CAPTURE=FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture1
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
That will get you basic functions. Now is where I have questions.
How does GB assign channel numbers? Using the DVico software, i found many channels, and I had written them down in hopes of being able to use the tunings to program GB, since it is easier to browse channels without info or anything. When I scan my digital channels with DVico software, i get from 0 to around 8000, obviously not every channel, but at least a hundred or so. It does not display encrypted ones, however I can look and see where they are.
The one's I want to use are 814.1, 818.1, 829.1, 900.1, 901.1, 902.1, 910.1, 911.1, 912.1, 1000.1, 1001.1, 1027.1, 1078.1, 1090.1, 1091.1, 1092.1, 1093.1, 1094.1, 1095.1, 1096.1, and 1097.1
When I scan with GB software, i only get from 1-138 to scan, and all of these channels are encrypted. The are labeled Unknown 1-11, ocassionally displaying 000(AC3), however i never hear sound nor see video for any of these. I was wondering if there would be any way to use the numbers i got from DVico to just input them straight into GB somewhere. Otherwise i would need to be able to extend the scan from 138 to 1100ish.
I love GB and if I was able to get it working with HD it would be AMAZING. Thanks in advance.
Ok, I've been hunting around for around a week now and can not find a solution.
The problem is I can watch tv, but can't record. It says it is recording, it creates the directory name, but there is no file.
There is an error in the recording log, but I don't know what to do to fix it.
I'm running windows XP SP2, on board graphics and sound, Core Duo940 3.2Ghz, 1gb of ram Hauppauge HVR 3000.
Dot net 2 (version 2.0.50727.42), no dot net 1 installed.
After problem I uninstalled Wintv2 and run the hcwclear utility, then uninstalled PVRx2 and deleted the directory, then installed the primary utility that comes with wintv.
I've just done a fresh install of my pc and installed GB-PVR along with PowerDVD 6 as my mpeg2 decoder. I have two issues:
1. In live TV mode, there is severe deinterlacing problems. For example, watching CNN's scrolling banner, you cannot read it. But if I switch to timeshifting mode, everything becomes clear.
2. Trying to playback a recording doesn't work. It doesn't play in PVRX2 or WMP. Microsoft's DecCheck says Cyberlink is the preferred decoder.
