I have set a GBPVR server with 2 dual Nova-T-500 cards (i.e. 4 tuners).
Works fine when I set up Device 1 (card 1, tuners 1 & 2). As soon as I try and set Device 2 I am told it cant find the card, and I get an actual error when clicking ok.
I then had the thought that I may have set up tuner 1 on devices 1 & 2, or tuner 2 on device 1 and tuner 1 on device 2... and so on... but named them wrong. So I played around with that but whatever I did, device 2 simply is not found.
I know it's not the cards as I tried SageTV and it found them both fine.
I thought I'd have some fun with GBPVR and some of my toys which I thought I'd share it, I guess I have too much time on my hands at the moment.
While I was testing connecting my new PCH media extender to my HVR 1600 on the analog svideo input to see what it looked like as livetv in GBPVR and on the MVP I decided to get fancy. I began by recording a digital 1080i ATSC broadcast via GBPVR's EPG on the MVP, and then switched to livetv where I navigated with the PCH remote on its interface (the remote lag is fun) to the GBPVR recording folder which is set up as a share.
I selected the HD recording that was in progress and sure enough it output as good quality hardware down-converted SD video on the MVP and because it was now just an analog mpeg-2 file I had complete GBPVR live tv control of the video. No audio though since I have never bothered figuring out how to do it. Now I can say it is possible to get live 1080i HD output on the MVP with a WAF of zero of course.
What seems amazing to me on the part of GPBVR was that it had two tuners on the go, it was creating both the recording and the mvp livetv temp files and it was streaming all of this to mvp using under 11% CPU and with no hiccups.
Problem happens with default blue and CS3 on every reoccurring entry that I tried it on.

I tried the updated backend.common that fixed the DVB EPG problem with reoccurring (just for the heck of it) and did an update epg but that didn;t help and resulted in this error.

I recently built up an HP DV9574 pavilion laptop with XP SP2. It came with a little remote control unit that slots into an expresscard slot when not in use.
Some of the buttons on it work (e.g. Directional arrows and the central OK, volume adjusters and mute button), but some do not (e.g Play/Pause) and I was wondering if anyone knows how to get them all working with GB-PVR.
I've not found any drivers online by searching HP support or using the model number (HSTNN-PRO7) in google.
WinLIRC doesn't see it at all. HIP ignores it totally.
It's a proper MCE remote because I used it in Vista HP before going back to XP.
I'm using the Hauppauge MCE Remote and it's setup with HIP. I used the config files found in the WIKI. I'm have a WinTV PVR USB2.
Everything seems to work ok except for the remote in the menu. The up and down arrow seem to be double clicking. I've found a post that said the remote settings in gbpvr need to be set to the default. Even after doing that I still have the same problem. It only seems to be the up and down buttons on the remote.
A different problem is the system menu. The pie graph isn't showing how much hard drive I have left. Is there a setting that I'm missing?
I have a vcr connected to my computer using a scart with an s video cable going into my vidoe card and an audio cable going into my sound card. Its set as ouput and I can hear the audio through my speakers, but I was just wondering if there is a way I can capture the video using gbpvr to get it onto my computer :confused:
Anybody any idea why the following epg entry won't show up in the Guide?

The programs before and after it showed up fine.

I have just set up a new pc to be used solely for GBPVR, installed 1.1.5 and moved my Pinnacle DVB-T card into the new machine. Everything is working great and I now can use PVRX2 which looks GREAT!
One small problem is that I can't get BBC1 to work, when tuning in channels it picks it up fine and adds to my channel list but when I try and view the channel it I get the no signal message. Every other channel works fine with no problems.
I have tried moving the card back to the old system and using the same aerial and there is no BBC1 problem. Both run on XP sp2 and use the NVIDIA decoder. Any ideas :confused:

I wonder if there is (are) (an) updated xml ('s) for TVgids_to_xml.exe (last edition 2006) or an .ini listing for TVxb.exe (last listing 2005). I'm basically a nerd as far as programming goes, and the channel landscape has changed a lot since then. Tvgids.nl now offers schedules for a lot more channels and the cable providers offer a lot more stations to watch.
I installed musiclibrary2 as noted in the wiki and after that config.exe crashed and pvrx2.exe crashed. No fun....
So I uninstalled musiclibrary2, still config.exe and pvrx2.exe crash.
Reboot, problems gone.
Retry.
Before installing musiclibrary2 I stopped the recording service.
Installed musiclibrary2 and rebooted.
config.exe and pvrx2 no longer crash.
No musiclibrary2 visible in pvrx2
Go to config and configure musiclibrary2.
Don't forget to set the path to the musiclibrary2.db3 file on the general panel. You receive a warning that it will overwrite the existing database. Don't bother and let it proceed.
Now all is well.
