I got a Nova-TD tuner for Christmas to work in addition with my existing twin tuner Nova-T 500. I've switched the TD from diversity mode to dual tuner and I've set up all four tuners as capture sources. Each tuner has scanned all channels in GBPVR, and according to ScanBDA they all run between 100% and 80% quality.
The weird thing is that they don't work together yet individually they all work fine. To test I tried recording from all four, but only the shows on Card 1 Tuner 2, and Card 2 Tuner 1 actually recorded, the other's didn't get a signal so although a folder was created for them, now file was inside and while recording all were listed in the recording status screen.
Even more weird, a working tuner "loses" it's signal another tuner is activated. For example I flicked to Live TV with nothing recording. I got perfect picture etc. and was using C1, T2. Yet when I set a random program to record (which did so on C2, T1) and went back to Live TV I got the No Signal Strength screen even though this was the same tuner of moments ago (C1, T2)!
So something, somewhere is conflicting, either in GBPVR or the card drivers. Anyone got any ideas?
Here is the routine for passing the menubuttons names to PVRx2. For Gamezone I use dynamicly chosen names for the buttons, does anyone have any idea how this can be accomplished neatly?
Hello. I'm using GBPVR with an HVR-1600, and I have both the QAM And Analog tuners functioning properly. However, when I view LiveTV it defaults to the analog tuner and I cant figure out how to switch to the digital. I tried typing "8,1" but it wouldn't let me type the comma.
Anyone know how I can do this? I know it's a simple question, but hours of searching around haven't helped me with this final problem.
Hi,
I `m new to gbpvr, It looks like a great app, congratulations to dev team.
I live NA and in the past I `ve used progdvb and Dvb dream with success but GbPvr looks a lot more promising. I did a lot of reading on your board.
This is what I have:
HW
CPU: E2140
Ram: 2GB (2X1GB)
MB: Gigabyte G31 chipset, I`m using the onboard VGA
DVB: Twinhan 102g w/1238 BDA driver
Also there is a Hauppauge PVR150 w/ driver and application CD 3.4d1 installed
DN superdish and DP34 switch
SW
Win XP pro SP2
Cyberlink Power DVD 6(2Channel oem)
MS VC++ redistribution pack 2005 SP1
MS .Net 2.0
Emunation 3006
Mdapi from your site, w/mdapifilter dated 12/06/06
DvbDream 1.4g
GbPvr 1.1.5
I have the ffdecsa.dll and mdapifilter.ax (the contents of mdapi) along with the pthreadvc2.dll (from emunation) in the C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr directory and the other emunation files in the C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\MDPlugins directory.
I ran regsvr32 "c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\mdapifilter.ax" to register.
I also checked the mdapi box under Misc in Config.
Questions:
To test I only scanned echo7 119w, I have found some channels, but noticed that it scans 42 tps, if I`m not mistaken there are only 28 tps on 119w. I also get a lot of channels with no names. In any case I did not get the 400+ channels that are on 119w. I used:
LOF1=11250
LOF2=14350
and left the middle parameter blank because I didnt know whats the correct value. Could this cause a problem?
I started Gbpvr, the mdapi icon is visible, so I go into log and and seems that it crashes after a few seconds. I reboot, start gbpvr and know its running like 20-25 min , the log file only has 2 entries:
20:26:25: MDAPI_CHANNELCHANGE
20:26:23: MDAPI_GET_VERSION: MD-API Version 01.03 - 01.06
Is this normal?
Do I need to setup the epg in order Gbpvr to function, because I skipped that part?
I read that Gbpvr does not support the Epg through the dvb stream in NA is that true ?
With experienced computer help, I have been trying to install an hvr1600 model 1181 on my computer in addition to the existing pvr150. I have 5 slots but the video card and fan covers one of them. The slots are all pci and my motherboard is an asus intel. When we install both cards, the computer reboots itself after 1-10 minutes on a random basis. I can get the system stable with either card but not with both. We have tried various slots and we have checked the new card on a different machine so it seems as if the tuner card is correct.
It is not a driver problem (although that was a problem earlier in the day) because I was able to uninstall the Hauppauge drivers. I am waiting until the system is stable before trying to reinstall the Hauppauge drivers from the CD with version 3.4A (the version applicable to my model of HVR1600)
To complicate the problem, we added 2gb of ram at the same time and about a week ago, I suddenly lost sound and my sndvol32.exe for no obvious reason. Before the installation, we discovered I had 2 sound cards, the one on the motherboard and an additional one. Sound was restored when I reinstalled sndvol32.exe and removed one of the sound cards. As far as I can tell, the sound problem is not the cause of the sporadic and frequent rebooting. My experienced help says the ram might be.
Does anyone have any ideas of what might be wrong or what we could try to fix it?
Is there a way to get a "channel" set up in the program guide to show whatever signal is coming in over the RCA inputs on the PVR500 card? I set up an additional capture source with that as the input but nothing seems to work. I'd like to have a simple "channel" to show a few different sources (Playstation, VCR, couple of other things I have hooked up via a RCA jack switchbox)
I would "use the software it came with" but since I have the MCE version it comes with none....
Having installed a Freeview Playback phase 2 PVR for an elderley relative, I was very impressed with the implementation of phase 2 that is now adopted by most UK broadcasters. In particular the way a pending recording changes it's start & end times 'on the fly'. A good example this evening - the news was extended because of the asassination of Benazir Bhutto, so any recordings pending would have started later, too.
Also split recordings - where a film has a half-hour break in the middle for the news, the PVR automatically records both parts (but not the news)
"Freeview Playback info:
Phase 1
----------
Accurate Recording of Events. If the footie overruns, and you've got a recording for Eastenders, it will delay the start of Eastenders until the broadcasters tell it to start and stop. Conversely if you were recording the footie, it will delay the end of your recording to ensure you dont miss the penalty shootout.
Phase 2
-----------
Series Link - Be able to set a single recording to record all programs within a series, eg record all episodes of 'House'. Split recordings - record both parts of a program that has a break in the middle.
Phase 3
-----------
Alternate Instance Recording - I've got recordings set for Eastenders and Corry at the same time on my twin tuner, but i also want to record DrWho. When i try to set a recording on DrWho, it say STOP, you can only record 2 things at a time, but .... DrWho is repeated tomorrow at 9.30, shall I record this one instead?
Warning - All these functions rely 100% on the broadcasters getting the info right. There will need to be someone watching the footie and correctly signal the end program flag in the stream. The BBC seem ok at this, except in Wales and Scotland where there are regional variations. ITV et al at getting better, but dont hold your breath for the shopping channels. When you miss your recordings, or the end of the champions league final is missing, its probably the fault of the broadcasters metadata not telling your PVR whne to start/stop."
