I am receiving ota in the sf bay area, and everything seems to be working great except that some channels come in perfectly fine while others seem to be dropping frames. All signals are 100% strength.
For instance, ABC is fine, but KQED HD seems stuttered. Is this because of their broadcast? Do some channels just not broadcast all frames? My computer doesn't seem to be overloaded. Has anyone else experienced something similar to this?
I have been using GBPVR for about a week now. I was loving it, but it has 'developed' a problem. Every time I start GBPVR, there is no sound. If I go to Windows volume control ('Play Control'), I find 'Wave' vol has been set to zero. If I move this slider, I get sound. Wave vol. will also set to zero whenever I switch between Video Library and Live TV and vice-versa. I don't have this problem with the Hauppauge TV app.
This did not happen when I first started using GBPVR. I first noticed problems with sound trying to fast forward recorded TV. I never actually got fast-forward to work – it might freeze then resume play (either with or without sound) or else crash GBPVR. Restarting GBPVR would fix it at that time, but now (after another crash), symptoms are as described above.
I have tried;
- Many permutations of – mpeg2 decoder, Audio Decoder, Audio Renderer & Volume Control under the Config/Playback Tab.
- Installing latest soundcard drivers
- Reinstalling GBPVR
- Doing a full System Mechanic 6 repair (this includes registry repair)
I would be very grateful any advice – I have hit a dead-end now!
Thanks
My system includes;
GBPVR v1.0.16
Windows XP SP2
Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T-500 (dual DVB-T tuner PCI )
Intel Core2Duo E6300
ATI X1950XT
Creative SB Audigy 2ZS
I updated the driver for my ATI Theater 550 card to version 6.14.10.258 and now the Safely Remove Hardware icon shows in the system tray. If I click it, a tooltip pops up that says Safely Remove ATI Unified AVStream Driver.
Any ideas why its showing that? I'm not sure what it even is exactly. I assume its part of the tuner but I'm not sure.
I just recently added 2 more tuners to my system (HDHR) and noticed that when I use the System Tray applet to show the Recording Status, it only displays the status for 2 (1 HDHR and 1 Fusion) of the 3 tuners. Is the status display limited to only 2 entries?
When I originally added the HDHR a couple weeks ago, I tested quick recording of 3 simultaneous programs with no problems. Now, I am having problems with recurring recordings when more than two are scheduled. I originally thought the problems had something to do with the pre and post padding, but now I'm not so sure. Is there an easy way to tell how many tuners that GBPVR is recognizing?
Sorry sub, I just saw your request for server donation now and donated my $5 immediately. With the suport you provide in this forum, you shouldn't have to eat the cost of the server every month. I wouldn't want to lose this support because I couldn't scrounge up a lousy 5 bucks. Thanks for a great product!!
i am currently in the market for a new router. i would like to know what people have found best suits them in terms of features and affordability. Currently i have an old garbage Linksys. My current network is as follows: 1 server direct to router, 2 switches direct to router with anywhere from 2-16 users at a time (my wife, bless her, lets me have a lan party twice a year), 2 laptops which connect to router wirelessly. What works for you guys/gals?
Man, you can build a PVR but you can not make it drink. Err. umm... display?!
I just installed the Community-WS skin and upon running PVRX2, I received this error:

Is this specifically a skin error, or a general error? And what does it mean?
I'm still not good at deciphering error logs...

In my never ending HTPC problems - blew up my P4, now blew up my new AMD 3800 mobo, currently working on a slightly crippled HTPC - I have discovered that VLC will mess up your power schemes. To fix this problem do not select disable screen saver in VLC. If you do, VLC will reset your power scheme to something arbitarary - though I have a feeling that it'll set it to whatever scheme you had when VLC was first installed.
Hope it saves someone some headaches on any new installs.
