I recently got an HVR-1800, and am trying to configure the FM radio feature. I have it selected in the plugins list, and I have the Lame DirectShow codec, but it's not showing up in the menu. What else do I need to do?
Note: I also have a PVR-150. Do I have to tell it somewhere that the radio tuner is on the 1800?
i am a former SnapStream BeyondTV user and I must say that I am very pleased to have found gbpvr and it is simply amazing software and I congratulate the developers and all the people that make the plugins and everyone who input their thought to make this top of the line software. Well Done Everyone!
I found this site 1 day ago and I have a dual tuner setup using zap2xml for guides and it is wonderful. I am very satisfied with setting things up and I learned very quickly from scratch. Great wiki and the walkthrough's are ace!
I have about 15 days worth of programming guide and I really really need a feature for upcoming shows and movies.
I need a default search plugin that will display all the movies starting next hour kinda thing or next 2 hours or user defined hour blocks.
I don't want to see any movies currently in progress and I only want movies or shows starting that are set by category like entertainment, music, live, news etc......
Does that plugin exist yet?
I am always looking through the guide for things and I would love a "whats starting next hour plugin" ....
I use a remote so I cannot do text searches since I have no keyboard and default movie type searches would be awesome.
anyone have a plugin or an idea how I can make a search like that?
I have 2 buttons on my MCE remote set to the keystrokes for Video Library and Audio Library (can't remember the keystrokes right now, I'm not at home). They used to work on GB-PVR 0.99, but somewhere along the line the Audio Library keystrokes no longer works. I now use PVRX2.exe v1.1.5, and Video Library keystroke still works, but not Audio Library.
What is the keystroke for Video Library?
What is the keystroke for Audio Library?
I will try them each from my keyboard, and then from my remote. I use EventGhost to handle my MCE remote.
i can tune the qam channel in the digital mapping window but when i go to watch it in pvrx2.exe the no signal screen gets stuck with a full strength bar and no quaility bar. which uselly takes a few second to pop up to about a 80% full bar. attached logs files. and also pvrx2.exe crashes every once in while after i exit out of it.
I am trying to setup my HDHomeRun on QAM.
Following the instructions, all goes well until I get to the channel scan. It isn't finding anything, but it is only scanning 1-68, that isn't where the digital channels should be anyway, if that relates to channel numbers.
What may I have done wrong that it isn't scanning 83-116 where all my channels are?
HDHomeRun Setup is finding all the channels and VLC is playing them. It seems to just be my GB DVR configuration
I have just switched from a hauppauge remote to an MCE remote.
With the hauppage remote I had the green button configured to run PVRX2.exe (GRNPOWER={run(C:\PROGRA~1\gbpvr\PVRX2.exe)}) and this did exactly what it was supposed i.e. launching it or, if it was already running, bringing the already running instance to the foreground.
I've been trying get HIP to do the same thing except using the start button of the MCE remote (I'm using XPSP2 BTW). I have set up the start button in alternate input and it launches PVRX2 fine (EXEC(C:\Program Files\gbpvr\PVRX2.exe|||GBPVR|1)). The problem is that it stubbornly refuses to bring a existing instance to the foreground if hasn't got the focus.
Can anyone explain the difference in behaviour and, more importantly, how to fix it?
This is possibly the worst post any software developer desires to see!!!
I have a number of Sat cards from telemedia to skystar HD CI. Having survived the disastrous instal of a Hauppauge HVR4000 - using that abysmal Hauppauge Power Cinema NIGHTMARE of software - finally solved with MyTheatre!! I embarked on a new project which I thought was even more difficult (than using OEM software!) - getting video from a data card. I chose the fairly common Telemedia 200D (sm200dpa) card. There are posts on the internet stating this is impossible.
My question is firstly one of integrity and openness! Having learned of GB-PVR I went to the web page to discover the softwares device support. What do I find? A statement that a huge number of devices are supported and that a LIST of ALL supported devices is on the WIKI. So I go back a couple of web pages to the home page and click the WIKI link, then I proceed to read the WIKI. By now I have spent 20-30 minutes of my time and STILL HAVEN'T FOUND THE COMPLETE LIST OF SUPPORTED DEVICES THAT IS ON THE WIKI! This really is not good! Imagine is I was not a New Zealander - or worse that English was my tenth language. Is it indeed dishonest? Or intentionally misleading marketing politics??? I THINK BOTH.
Having now joined this forum I am not going to spend any time solving the question of the HUGE RANGE OF SUPPORTED DEVICES - FOR ONE SECOND!
Anyone reading this might like to think I am not a fan of mis-information!
However - frustrated at the start of my GB-Pvr excursion as I was, I figured it was quicker to down load the program and see what devices it found in my knockabout current pile of 'mostly assembled form roadside junk' PC.
The result was - found Skystar 1 CI (WoWeE!); not found 1. Telemedia 200dpa; Not found 2. Ati Aiw 7500 PCI DVB-T (it might be DVB-S).
Now; I think, good software, should say loud and clear, "FOUND BUT NOT SUPPORTED" - 'in a window that a blind man could see' - straight after loading!! AND THAT IS THE FIRST THING IT SHOULD SAY!
So, it having found one card out of three; - I am not going to use GB-PVR on my Skystar 1 CI as I am a firm believer that the best software is allways written by the original designer of the hardware! After all; He, She, It, The Company, who built the item, are the holders of the schematics of the hardware! They don't have to bother reverse engineering anything. BDA drivers are only ever going to be BDA drivers - one food suits all. Can I suggest "Peanut Butter"??
That said, I am fairly intrigued by aftermarket modules like in my link above!
So my main question here (aside from what PCI devices GB-Pvr supports!) is - "how does one go about creating an aftermarket plugin, like the sm300.device"?
I have a Hauppauge 1600. It would be great if I could control tuner priority for both Live TV and Recording. I guess I really want two ways to control tuner priority. I personally want to always give the digital tuner highest priority for LiveTV, but I want to be able to select priority/or tuners for Recordings.
I currently have mapped my QAM stations seperately to allow me to select them for either viewing or recording.
Am new to GB-PVR and just hit a stumbling block. I've setup my hvr-900 for my good ole analogue cable box and i've got a good picture, but absolutely no sound? The WinTv app get sound fine, so hopefully its nothing major. Playing MP3's through gb-pvr is fine too.
My capture source is setup to use the direct recording plugin, no epg source and no channel changer.
Its set to internal tuner, cable for the tuning setting and medium for quality.
Not sure if theres anything else anyone would need to know to help me?
