I have a Hauppauge 1600 installed and I believe I finally have it working well. I have been having problems getting the QAM tuner set. I used the qam.ini files PixelatedFool provided ( http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=2...tcount=118 ) and found that the +3Mhz file fixed the occasional stutter I was seeing.
My question deals with how to access the digital tuner. I want to use the analog tuner first when recording but I would like to view live TV on the digital tuner. I have the analog tuner set first in the config utility. I have the QAM channels mapped to their proper stations and both the HD and SD channels are selected. (I do not see a second set of listings under the Channels tab.) I understand that GBPVR uses the first tuner listed when recording (is that right?). If I scroll up the channels, shouldn't I view the HD channels or am I mistaken? Thank you for your thoughts.
When I try to update the details of a recurring recording pvrx2 seems to lock up. I have to kill it with task manager. The scheduled recorings were created in the previous version (1.0.16?) and I've upgraded to 1.1.15.
I am having trouble with the Rewind and Fast Forward actions. I noticed with with my remote key presses not taking effect and then tried from the keyboard and still not response. The video I am trying to play is .wmv.
Hey all I have my GB-PVR setup with a PVR-150 and PVR-150MCE and I wanted to know if anyone else has ever had a issue with audio shuttering on only some channels in there recordings? I've been trying to trace down to see if it is a cable line issue or a card issue but I don't know if GB-PVR logs what shows get recorded on which card? Can someone please help me figure out where I can find that out?
I have an Hauppauge pvr-250 TV tuner. I just installed GB-PVR and configured the product. When I bring up live-tv I get the audio but no video at all. Can any one suggest what I need to do to resolve this? I am including my logs.
I have run the update epg for schedules direct. That works fine and imports the channels correctly. I can even edit the information under "channels". When I start gbpvr and click on any link it gives me the full error message. "Use the 'update epg' button to force the system to import the latest set of channel and program information."
I have read over the instruction manuals and forum posts several times and I have not been able to find an answer to my problem. I have installed all of the pre requisite software and I am at a loss. I have never sent a post before so I am interested to see how this goes. Thanks for your help.
Well, before I went digital I had a parallelprocessing batch that would comskip, comclean, and clean up afterwards. Everything was great. But now that I'm forced to use the dvr-ms mux for quality's sake, a big wrench was thrown into my batch file. Comclean doesn't work with dvrms. So, now my plan is to set up a post processing batch that will convert to mpg, run comskip and comclean, then it would be nice if I could transcode that cleaned mpg to xvid.
I know that pvrx2 has the ability to convert to mpeg from the config screen (even though it hasn't worked for me), can I call that process in my batch file, or do I need another executable? If so, what do I call for in the batch?
Next, I just installed the xvid codec, but I don't see anything that looks like a converter to call there either. What do I call in the .bat to convert to xvid?
I've a strange problem with my setup here (might be, because it's a strange setup) ...
I'm loacated in Germany and tuning all the PAL channels is fine. In addition to the PAL channels there some SECAM channels that are fed into the PAL cable network. So they are transmitted on Western Europe PAL frequencies but are encoded with SECAM video standard.
While searching the forum, I found the hint to use ForceStandard=262144 in order to force SECAM-L video standard. Setting this value in direct.ini, my SECAM channels tune fine, but all my PAL channels have false colors.
I'm using a PVR-500 for the PAL channels and a seperate PVR-150MCE l.p. (it has a PAL/SECAM tuner) for the SECAM channels.
Setting the country for the capture source associated with the PVR-150 to France or any other country using SECAM standard doesn't give me any clear picture. Using Germany, I can tune the channels, but they appear wrong colored.
So having an option like ForceStandard but with its scope limited to only one type of card instead of all cards defined in direct.ini, would probably solve my problem. Is there such an option or any other possibility to get theese channels tuned?
After giving up on the software supplied by Hauppauge I am trying to use GB-PVR for the first time but have hit a problem with the EPG.
If I have more than 4 or 5 channels mapped, the PC crashes every time the EPG update runs. This is both on the automatic overnight run and also on manual updates. I have tried clearing the EPG and deleting and re-installing GBPVR but these makes no difference.
Diagnostic are rather scarce but following entry appears in the system log of the PC:
[INDENT]The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x100000d1 (0x00000060, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xf78cb4df).[/INDENT]
If there are a small number of channels mapped (3 or 4) everything seems to work OK.
The PC seems to crash towards the end of the EPG update cycle - perhaps even after all channels have been scanned. I get various EPG related files created in the output directory but GBPVR's EPG itself is not updated.
I am using a (new) NOVA-T 500 PCI card running under XP. This card has two tuners and I have tried various options such as different versions of the drivers and only using one tuner. The card itself seems work fine. Apart from the useability of the Hauppauge software I had no real problems with recordings or the EPG.
I have tried GBPVR versions 1.1.5 and 1.016. I have also tried the Hauppage drivers supplied with versions 3.4 and 4.0 of WinTV. I downloaded the .NET and runtime libraries from MS over the last two or three weeks - so they are fairly up to date. The PC itself is a Jetway mini-itx system based on a VIA 2Ghz chipset.
The only other strange thing is that no radio stations appear in the channel listing. I am not sure if this is normal for GBPVR? My local transmitter is Sandy Heath in the UK.
