Hey all,

I'm having trouble getting DVD Playback in PVRX2 working using the EVR renderer. I've tried selecting DScaler5, Nvidia Purevideo, and ffdshow decoders from the Video Decoder list on the DVD & Remote tab (each with their respective audio decoder) but every time I try to play a DVD, either from disc or hard drive, gbpvr just dumps back to the main menu. I can play television fine using EVR.

I've attached a zipped version of my log file that shows the error I'm receiving. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

I just installed Vista to try to get rid of my stutter problem in XP (stuttering every 2-3 minutes). After installing everything, I can watch Live TV fine as well as any recordings, however I can't record anything. I use Live TV Preview mode and when I pause Live TV it timeshifts properly, creating the buffer files.

I looked at all the log files and there is no attempt to record (logging set to Debug in Config app). As an FYI, I changed the LiveTV and Recordings folders to my 2nd physical drive.

One other thing I noticed is that they are still pending (even ones from Friday). When I try to delete them from the pending list I don't get an error but they don't delete (the items always appear in the list). I have restarted GBPVR and rebooted but they still appear. The other thing is that when I scroll down in the pending list it jumps right back up to the first item in the list after a few seconds.

Has anyone ever seen this happen?

Thanks.

Would it be possible to get some kind of confirmation when selecting a menu item or entering a command (like channel change)? It takes a good while to start live TV or switch between channels and it would be helpful to have some kind of indication that the application has received the command. The latest trend (in XBox 360, SageTV, and some others) seems to be to dim the screen and show a spinning icon. I think this would be a great feature.

Thanks,
Ryan

any way of nuking the entire database apart and keeping the capture source settings? its quite a task to put all my sky channels back in etc...

First off, I'm new to GBPVR, so I hope this isn't a dumb question.

I'm using a KStream XPERT DVB DTV-B. Had it working in Linux, and works using the rather awful supplied software. GBPVR recognises the card, but doesn't find any channels. I know I'm using the correct transmitter as it worked in Linux, and oddly, if I watch a TV channel in the software supplied with the card, and then scan for channels in GBPVR, it finds all the channels that are in that multiplex, but finds 6 "copies" of them. I can then watch those TV channels, but if I restart the PC, they stop working again.

Is there anything obvious I can do?

hi all.

so my last computer crapped out and i had to get a new one - now with vista.

I first had trouble installing wintv pvr usb2, (which i was hoping to use as a second tuner) so i abandoned that. I do have an internal tv tuner, however, so all should be good. I installed MediaMVP and then GBPVR. I disabled the two MediaMVP services and started the GBPVR service. i selected 'one server to autostart' and restarted the computer, expecting to see the little box on the corner of my screen indicating that my media server was operational. it wasn't there. I then opened the config file and read the warning that vista doesn't play well with dongle.bin, and that i was to use dongle.bin.mvpmc-20090830.
so i extracted that into the dongle folder and tried to select it in the config file, but only 'dongle.bin' was still showing up. so i renamed the new dongle.bin.mvpmc-20070830 to dongle.bin, and the old dongle.bin to dongle.old, and then restarted the computer. no go (the media server box still doesn't appear in the bottom of my screen) so my questions:

1) Is there a vista survival guide to get gbpvr and mediamvp to play well with vista ultimate?
2) did i do the right thing with the dongle.bin rename, or is there another way to do this?
3) do i need to modify things other than dongle.bin?
4) does anyone know how to get wintv pvr usb2 to work on vista?
5) how can i try to manually start the media server if it doesn't start up automatically after a restart?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just loaded v1.1.5, and the channel numbers are missing from the lineup. All else seems to be working. What did I forget to do? :confused:

Sub, any chance of talking your contacts over there into a group buy for us? Not so much for a lower price but more to guarantee we get one before they sell out

I have GB-PVR (latest version) running an MVP.

Initial impressions are very good. However I'm having trouble with the Music Library on MVP. I can only play one track at once. If I try to play several, I only get the first one. If I try to skip forwards, playing stops. Is this a known issue?

Is there a "Now Playing" or queue you can view to see what's coming up?

Actually, I can't get anything to record to the hdd, which is the same problem as the live tv not working. It says in the logs that it can't locate filter. The log for the recording service file keeps growing even after the pvrx2 is closed. It keeps repeating:

"VERBOSE SetFilterProperty - IKsPropertySet->QuerySupported property failed".

I can use the wintv program and watch tv. I can watch files through gbpvr.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Attached are the logs. I have truncated the GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log to make it easier to read. The above mentioned line just keeps repeating forever. Its actually a rar file not a zip.
