My MVP works fine with the windows firewall off. When I enable it, the MVP can't find a server. PVRX2 and recording service are both set as exceptions, so they shouldn't be blocked.

Is there anything else I need to do to the firewall?
Any other ideas what might be causing this?

I'm using 1.1.5 (xp) and the MVPMC dongle.

Live TV video is very choppy, audio is fine.

The machine should be more than capable of handling PVRX2.

P4 3.0 HT
1GB
Sapphire Theatrix 550pro
GeForce 6200 256mb AGP
Running dual head from the 6200 - 1680x1050 x2

LiveTV video is super choppy - essentially one frame every second is shown.

Live TV on client machines works great.

I've been playing around with settings etc, trying to fix the problem, but no luck.

Here's my current configuration:


Playback
Video Decoder: Sonic Cinemaster DS
Other options are: Nero and 'MPEG Video Decoder'

Audio Decoder: System Default - not sure what the default is.
Other options are: 'MPEG Audio Decoder' and Nero Digital Audio Decoder

PVRX2 Video Renderer - VMR9 Custom

Aspect Ratio Control: 16x9



Capture Source
Recording Source: Direct Recording Plugin
Capture Card Type: ATI Theater 550pro
Source: Internal Tuner / Tuning: Cable



I've tried playing around a little with the Renderer and MPEG-2 settings, but haven't really had any luck.

The other thing I've noticed is that when at the PVRX2 menu, mouse movement over the window causes very very choppy mouse movement - moving the mouse over the rest of the desktop is smooth.

The older GBPVR is still installed (VMR7), and works better, but still drops a few frames every 2-3 seconds.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys I'm sort of new to gb-pvr
I just downloaded the latest program version and under capture source, it doesnt seem to list mine, where do i go from here?

I'm using a pinnacle pctv hd stick pro and the software that came with it was worthless

Please refrain from using any confusing lingos -_-

I have been having some success with HD TV using PVRX2. I get perfect HD recordings. I am using the ATI MPEG Mux. Installing that made all the difference.
Just one outstanding item.
When watching live TV I will get the occasional stutter. If I run in time shift mode I don't have any problems at all. I was wondering what may cause that ?

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. I tried different MPEG decoders and had the most success with ATI MPEG Video Decoder.

Thanks in advance and as a side note I have tried the commercial products and found this to be the best.

I found the ATI Mux and Decoder here for anyone else interested http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_cataly...50-vista32. To get the Mux and decoder install the AVIVO component.

I have uploaded the latest alpha dongle, with code that will be in tomorrow's mvpmc nightly which is designed to improve upon the audio/video sync changes that are in mvpmc 0.3.4 Several users have noted improvements with mythtv and I hope the same applies to emulation mode. In my limited testing it is a little less resource intensive then the last dongle.

As always your feedback is appreciated.

I went from copper to fiber, no big deal, still an analog cable signal.
Uninstalled everything, and reinstall with the last drivers available for my PVR 250 and then installed the latest GBPVR.
Went through all the routines (my own directions kept in the Wiki), ran Tuning assistant, wrote down the channels etc, keyed them in in config.
To make a long story short, the same old routine.
So when I turn on live TV in GBPVR it shows the last channel chosen in Hauppage Wintv 2000 , although Wintv 2000 is then disengaged.When i cahnge channels in GBPVR, it goes up or down, whetever i choose, shows the differnt cahnnel names, the logo's etc. But the channel stays that same channel.
When I go to TVguide click random on a channel, I only receive noise.
Any idea what's going on????
BTW I can change channels watching live TV in Wintv 2000 very well, no prob at all.

cheers,

I recently installed a virus scanner and now my playback skips. Fortunately, it's somewhat rare: once every 15 minutes, and it only happens when I am simultaneously watching one show while recording another. My average CPU usage while simultaneously playing and recording is 30-50%. I excluded both the recordings directory and the gbpvr directory. Does anyone have any suggestions as to other specific files or directories that could be excluded to help playback? Would excluding codec files help? What files (besides those used in the two exluded directories previously mentioned) are used for playback?

This is weird. I just installed the DivX codec and now when I view a DivX video file, my remote stops working. When I stop playing the DivX file, the remote works again. This problem does not occur when I play .mpg files.

My remote is a Fusion Remote that uses the Dvico USB receiver and associated Fusion Remote application that maps remote functions to keyboard commands.

This might be the wrong place to ask this, but maybe someone else with the same hardware has seen this behavior.

Is there an alternative DivX codec I can use? Does the Xvid codec work for both DivX and Xvid?

Thanks

Occasionally, I get a pink screen when viewing the SVHS input of my PVR-150 card. This has only started happening since I have installed FFDSHOW. Could this be the cause or is it a PVR-150 driver issue? I needed FFDSHOW because I was getting a black screen.

Thanks.

anyone experienced vista sleeping and waking straight away?

see this ms article.

happens on my media PC (asus M2NPV-VM board) but I use XP for GBPVR but if i wanted to upgrade to vista, this would be annoying.

i tried the workaround disabling 'allow this device to wake' with no effect..
