hi,

i have dual tuner setup - 1xpvr150MCE for cable box and 1xhvr1300 for DVB-T uk freeview.

problem 1 : when opening a pending recording (on either capture source) i get a black screen, no OSD but can press back and get to a menu.

problem 2 : if i'm recording from source1, then watch a channel on source2, then type a channel number corresponding to source1, i get black screen and no OSD and cannot do anything apart from end task (screenshot below)

appreciate any help. i plan to update the 150 for a 350 soon so will probably refresh the capture sources (when installing fresh O/S recently, i restored GBPVR using GBPVR.DB and CONFIG.XML files - old and new installs were 1.1.5 )

appreciate help

This is an update of my GBPVRTray replacement, Slimm GB-PVR.

Hello

After a lot of testing of this kind of programs both for Linux ( preffered ) and windows i choosed this one

Why isnt neccessary to tell right now

But after a while i started to customize the installation to fit my needs

So right now i have a config like this:

All music,videos and pictures are stored in a linux server

Viewing of tv,video and others is done from a computer
beside my tv
I also view tv (streaming) and listen to music on my office computer
in the same house as the server and the other computer

I am using the latest versions ( not BETA)
So thats the background

What i want to do is to easily add different playlists
to the system.
Thats when i installed this plugin

I am using GBPVR and not PVRX2

It worked fine and listening to music was ok

BUT!!

When i tried to add a playlist it doesnt work
Songs dissapears.Playlists shows empty and
i cant figure out how to add songs to the playlist
without having to listen to them

Every time i add a song to the que it starts to play it?

So i got tired of trying and tried to add a m3u list to it
instead.

But the list shows up in the playlist EMPTY!!

So back to start again

Reinstalled
Remade the config and tried again

Same thing happens

I have been reading and searching all over this forum but
mostly came up with nothing or a few things that
didnt work.

So i am ready to leave this project and move on

But first i want you to get a chance to help out here

One thing i miss in this project is a complete manual
that covers all from installtion to a ready to go system

As it is now users have to search and read for a long time to
get some answers
Whats needed is an installation manual with everything covered
or a well written FAQ on every plugin

Is there anyone that can come up with information about
how playlists work and how to add M3U files?

Taken from the beginning just after the installtion on this
plugin is done?

Thanks in advance

I just got an HVR-1600. I have done an OTA channel scan with WinTV and can access my HD stations. I have done a scan with XP MCE, downloaded the guide, and can access HD stations. I have had no luck with GBPVR. I tried to use the tool that will use the MCE guide, but it never created the XML file. I have tried Schedules Direct and did not have any success. I then used the zap2xml scraper. When I downloaded the EPG, the channel numbers were different from those in WinTV. And when I try to view live tv from GBPVR, I get no picture. I changed the channel numbers to match those in WinTV but that did not help. So what channel numbers can I specify to get this to work?

Hi All
I spent some time tonight trying to install a 2nd capture card only to realize that the PVR-150MCE is not supported under Windows 2000. The PVR-150 is supposed to be, so I'm exchanging for one of those. During my efforts, I downloaded the DeviceTypeDetect program. What I have found is that my current card, a PVR-250, is not detected by this utility even though the card is working fine w/ gbPVR. The output from the utility is:

23:25:16.153 INFO Log started
23:25:16.153 VERBOSE ECP interface found

23:25:16.153 ERROR Failed to get ECP general string
23:25:16.173 VERBOSE FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Capture
23:25:16.173 ERROR Failed to find requested device: Hauppauge PVR150 (instance 2)

I'm pretty sure that "PVR PCI II" is what the PVR-250 is called in the Hauppauge drivers; could this be an issue with the .ini file included w/ DeviceTypeDetect? I should mention that in gbPVR config, when I set up the capture source and select the "Show only devices found" it correctly lists the PVR-250. I am also attaching my zipped logs directory. My question is, when I get my 2nd card, how can I figure out which capture card # to use in gbPVR config?

Thanks for any help!

I now have a acer laptop and want to access gbpvr using the on my home network. Kinda like meadia MVP how is the setup go.Please use step by step instrucitions. Thanks in advance.
Dial -up Con.

I wonder if anyone can help with this irritating problem. I've been through the Wiki http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FAQ/E...sages#toc3
but the 'device type check' utility is not working for me (nothing appears in the box).
I'm running a Hauppauge Nova-T 500 dual tuner setup. As far as I know my tuners are all set up work and recordings happen. However every time I restart the computer I get that message

'No tuners are available watch the requested channel....'

when I start live TV in PVXR2.

So the simple way I get it to start up again is go into config.exe and just accept 'OK'.
I have the following pludgins configured: EPGExtras, TV Listings, Weather, Search Wiz2, Movie Wiz. I have 2 muxes registered (cyberlink THMpgMux(5.0.0.2022).ax and ATI Mpg mux atidvcr.dll). I'm wondering if a batch file command might be messing me up? All I have running is:
XmltvExtras.exe "C:\Program Files\devnz\xmltv.xml"
EPGExtra > EPGExtra.log and a grabber "C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\XmltvGUI.exe" /Grab in post update and updateepg.bat Any clues anyone, or perhaps I someone can show me how to set up a batch file to start config.exe and hit ok on start up. Thanks for any help.

Hi, I've been successfully using both GBPVR and MediaMVP for quite some time. All of a sudden I cannot get the MVP to work. First it flashes a message that MediaMVP cannot find an IP address. Then it gives the standard: "No streaming server found!" message.

I've tried it with Windows Firewall turned off (and turned on with PVR2.exe as an exception).

Again: MVP was working just fine, then stopped and I cannot figure out why.

I'm not too technical savvy but would greatly appreciate any advice. Fyi: I just upgraded to the most recent GBPVR version to see if that would fix it, but no luck.

Thanks!

I have failed on my own, so now I turn to the community.

Is it even possible to use USB tuners with GB-PVR? I have been trying to get the program to work with my tuner. But I have had no luck.

I have the following:

ATI TV Wonder HD 600 USB - Works great with bundled software - Connected through a USB 2.0 port
The latest Drivers
GB-PVR 1.1.5
Windows XP - Up to date
2 GHz Centrino duo - 1 Gb of RAM

At first the config did not detect my tuner. Per the Wiki I used GraphEdit and placed the following in Dirrect.ini:

[ATI TV Wonder HD 600 USB]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=BDA 2883 TVTuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=BDA 2883 Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

At this point the config allows me to select this under capture card type from the recording source option. I have also configured an XMLTV plugin for my EPG. I have tried to map the digital channels to EPG channels, but the scan does not find anything. Oddly enough, it also allows me to select a pinnacle HD USB stick, which finds local over the air hd channels when scanned. When running the program itself it tells me there is no EPG

I have attached my log files as well as a set of screen captures from the link.



Thank you.

I've been having a minor, annoying issue. When I first start live TV, no matter what channel starts, it has jutter or a jerkiness to the picture. After I change the channel, it is smooth again.

I was curious if anyone else has seen this problem
