I'm cobbling together a dedicated PVRX2 PC on the cheap. It will only be used to run PVRX2 on Windows XP Pro. Will the following hardware handle the job? If not, any suggestions?

Motherboard: MSI K9MM-V microatx motherboard, 800mhz FSB
CPU: Athlon 64 3500+ 2.20Ghz
Memory: 1gb PC3200 DDR400
Capture: PVR-150
Video: ATI 9600 AGP

I have since many versions (i thinke since i own my remote control) one problem within GB-PVR.
I am owning a Microsoft MCE Remote Control V2a and have this one selected in the config-panel. I also selected "Skip instead FWD".

So, the problem i have (in every GB-PVR versions) is, that if i use these both buttons repeatedly, GB-PVR/PVRX2 freezes. Then i have to kill the Task via Taskmanager, before i have to restart the application again.

If i press the buttons SLOWLY, then there's no problem. Only FAST pressing, or holding makes PVRX2/GB-PVR freeze.

What could this be?

After running 1.0.16 for a while now, the WAF has dropped a couple of notches.

When changing the volume in 99.12, details of the program and the progress bar would be displayed - our 1.0.16 setup doesn't do this anymore.

Is this a configuration issue, or a new 1.0.16 feature. I'd like to restore the WAF . I couldnt' find anything in the forum that discusses this issue.

Hi,

I have a Twinhan single tuner card that I have used it with a phoenix card reader and multidec support (newcs +Yanksee). That worked perfectly for a long time. The card is a legal Boxer smartcard (Swedish DVB-T).

However I recently bought a Hauppage Nova T-500 dual tuner card and when I now check the Enable multidec checkbox in config GBPVR refuses to tune in the channels at all. It just hangs there. It was my belief that multidec support was broken for two decoded channels at once, but should work for two non-decrypted channels or one decrypted + one nondecrypted. Now I get NO multidec support at all and cannot see any channels, decrypted or not with the new card. Without multidec it works fine, I can record and watch two free channels at once.

Any help, hints or solutions? Please...

Ive got Gamezone up and running I can launch N64 games I have a rom list visible for MAME but whenever I try and start a game I briefly see the "Initializing" message from MAME then it stops and takes me back to PVRx2.

Any suggestions? I can post logs etc. but I'm new to GBPVR and I cant see any logs that look helpful.

MAME works 100% outside GBPVR, I'm using the commandline version of MAME not MAME32 is this correct?

Hi,

I am trying to setup a client pc to connect to my GBPVR server that works great, I have looked in the logs and I do see an error about not being able to write to a read only database, how can I fix this and I have given the MDB and db3 files full access to anyone? also could it be the firewall? are there any ports which I should be allowing.

Thanks
Joolz

I really enjoy having my personal weather channel on demand. But, all of a sudden it stopped working.

I only get the "Downloading Weather Forecast..." window (which it never does go away).

I see this line in the logs:
2007-11-09 21:09:03.750 ERROR [7] Weather plugin: timeout when downloading weather for 53151. URL was http://weather.msn.com/search.aspx?weasearchstr=53151

Did the format on the website change? Is an update available? There are some older threads on this topic, but none of those fixes seem to work.

Below is the section from config.xml related to the weather plugin:
<WeatherPlugin>
<AreaCodes>53151</AreaCodes>
<ShowCurrentConditionsAsTaskImage>True</ShowCurrentConditionsAsTaskImage>
<Celsius>False</Celsius>
<PanelShowWeatherStatus>True</PanelShowWeatherStatus>
<AutoUpdateRate>90</AutoUpdateRate>
<DecimalPlaces>0</DecimalPlaces>
<LoadDataOnStartup>True</LoadDataOnStartup>
<DownloadRadarMapOnly>False</DownloadRadarMapOnly>
<Language>English</Language>
</WeatherPlugin>

I should note that I tried contacting the URL in the logs using Firefox, and firefox was also not able to connect. I disabled all firewalls, so that is not part of it. Is there a way to update the server location?

Thanks in advance.

I wanted to try this because I've heard of some people have pretty good results, and it works with my aver m780 card. But, for some reason there is a pause or stutter every 5-10 seconds. I've enabled live preview mode and disabled de-interlacing.

I have tried a number of ways of scanning, but cannot seem to get a few non-HD channels in clear QAM.

The channels are listed at http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/lin...code=87123 under channel 123. I am mainly interested in WGN, 123-909.

I have the Aver M780 card, and am getting pretty much everything but the 123 channels. Most of the "unknown" ones listed are religious channels. I have Comcast basic cable, which is basically just the OTA channels in clear QAM, since I have mountains blocking the antennae.

I have scanned with the standard QAM.ini, with channel numbers. I have also scanned with frequencies.

When I use AverMedia, it finds all of these channels, though it lists little information. AverTV6 lists the WGN as 123.116 It finds the others as well, for example 123-904 and 123-905 are 123.111 and 123.112.

When I scan with GBPVR, I get some 123 channels, but they are repeats of some of the 125 channels. On 124, I get CSPAN (AverTV6 at 124.118), but not CSPAN2 (which does come in at 124.119 on AverTV6).

Both AverMEdia and AverTV6 find all of the channels listed on teh website above. GBPVR finds most, but seems to have real problems at 123, and some issues at 124.

Any thoughts?

When scanning by frequency, it found 125 at 799500 and 799250, and it found the repeats (123) I believe at 787500 and 787250. I do not have frequency information from AVER as to where it found 123 correctly.

I could make a small QAM.INI to quickly scan the areas of interest if the logs from such would help. I don't have the logs right now, as I re-scanned the whole range again.

Any thoughts? Any way to further cross reference the Aver stuff? I have removed AverTV6, but could re-install. It might have further detailed information if I dug into it. The Aver Media Center hides all that kind of stuff.
