hi!!!
I've two hauppage hvr-1300 installed in the same Pc, i try to tune the channels with the "tuning assistant" of GB_pvr and the computer gets crazy, the screen start to blink, the computers blocks... and i have to restart it...
i have read some problems with the frecuencies in europe (Spain is where i live) and i got a software called "freqcopy" but it doesn't work or something i am doing wrong.... any help??
A little mystery with which I'd like some help from the electrically minded among us...not a direct GBPVR problem, but I guess relevant to PVRs none the less.
Im setting up a new PVR with two Black Gold DVT-Ts, and very nice they are too. the only problem is that the PVR itself seems to be producing enough interferance to weaken the aerial signal...
After much faffing about Ive managed to arrange things so i can exclude pretty much everything other than the PC and the aerial flylead. So heres the setup:
SD-TV, fed direct from roof aerial.
PC, headless, sat next to TV. Power lead plugged in, aerial flylead plugged into the tuner, but 'loose' at other end. MCE remote is the only other external device. no s-video into TV, etc.
so, I tune TV to analog BBC2 (ie not watching via the PVR, which isnt connected to the TV anyway) and the picture is fine...press power button on the MCE remote, and within about 15 seconds, theres lots of thick black horizontal lines flowing across the TV picture. If I put the PC back to sleep, the interferance disappears. If i unplug the aerial flylead from the back of the pvr while its powered up, the interferance disappears.
So as far as i can understand...the PC is producing interferance, and the aerial 'boosts' it enough to affect the TV roof aerial lead, or the aerial being plugged into the PVR is causing some form of electrical interferance?
Has anyone seen this before? could the PC case be earthing or something? any other ideas? Ive been into Maplin and they were stumped, but thought putting a ferrite ring on the power lead of the TV might be worth a shot, which confused me more than ever....help!:confused:
How can I get the current volume level when the "Local Volume" is selected.
I can get the "Master Volume" level using the code from the now obsolete "Volume OSD v1.8", but the GBPVRInternalVolumeMonitor references a registry entry devnz\LastVolume, which doesn't seem to exist any more.
I got a good deal on XP MCE and am planning on upgrading my PVR OS, which is currently XP Pro. I am planning on doing full-n-fresh install and not just an upgrade install. Any tips? Like... should I save my GBPVR files or just start it back up from scratch?
I would like to see a way, possibly via the system menu, of changing the video or audio decoder on-the-fly. I haven't found one pair that meets all my HD/SD sports and quality requirements. The current process is very time consuming and since it really is client only code, it unnecessarily (config.xml aside) causes the record service to restart, killing running recordings and disconnecting all mvp clients.
I would still like to see the power on/startup default stored via config.exe,
xDVD works fine on the MVP playing DVDs from the DVD drive, but I've been unable to get it to work with iso files stored on my hard drive that I'd like to playback through the MVP. Anyone know what needs to be setup in xDVD to get this working?
Hi everyone. First time poster, but regular lurker.
I've had a few problems recently with GVPVR, but found most of the answers by searching this forum and generally finding the solution by trial and error.
This one has me stumped though, and I can't see anything alreayd suggested that can solve it. I've bene through the Survival guide and tried the things that seem relevant, but nothing seems to work.
Ok, the problem is: My EPG started to go blank a few days ago, on certain channels. Because I had ben recording overnight (when the update was scheduled) I thought it might be something to do with that, so I altered the update time for the next night.
It still didn't update and more channels appeared to loose their listings.
Yesterday i tried to update from the icon (right click in the sys tray and select "Update EPG". The CPU usage went up to 100% and when I came back 4 hours later it was stll like it.
I cancelled it, rebooted and tried again. Same thing.
I then tried going into Config and selecting Update through "Capture Source -> BDA Recorder Plugin -> Edit -> Update EPG".
This started fine for about 5 mins before bringing up a generic "This program has done something" error from Windows.
I went to check the logs and I have 20 or so different logs for each action, so I moved them all to a spare directory, cleaned the folder out and did it again. I have enclosed to two new config and config.exe.log and the Native one.
My system:
I'm using the latest verison of GBPVR (1.0.16) with no extra (as far as I am aware) plug-ins. I use the default skin.
Windows XP, Happauge DVB PCI Card (although I forget which one - Possibly 350)
I know Sub is away on holiday, but any generla pointers would be much appreciated.
If I have two capture sources, both capable of recording a single channel can I set the capture_source.allocation_order variable higher for the capture source I DONT want recording it most often.
Because theres a lot of other channels hanging off that source I'd rather the source with the least number of other channels was used first..
Or should I just change the OID (and all other releated)
I just downloaded the program, and I'm trying to configure it. I've been following the wiki guide, but I've seem to run into some problems during the EPG setup. I added a new recording source and these are the details:
But when I hit the "Update EPG" button, nothing happens. No channels are listed. Any ideas? Thanks.
edit: Also while running the -configure.bat, after I enter my username it asks for my password, but it won't let me type anything. If I hit enter the window immediately closes.
I have a rather low end machine for HDTV, 2.4GHz P4, 7600GS AGP, 1G Memory,PVR-150,HVR-1600(QAM). Here's what I find:
Intervideo Decoder works almost great for HD, provides nearly flawless HD even for sports programming(I say nearly in that you see a stutter every once in awhile). However, in analog TV picture is poor with lots of blurring.
Purevideo Decoder works great for analog TV but is much more jittery than the Intervideo Decoder for HDTV.
I would have thought that if the Intervideo Decoder worked great for HD it would do just fine for the less intensive task of handling analog. Are there any tweaks available for the Intervideo Decoder that can help with the analog TV? Or is this just a thing where HD and analog are completely different beasts and it just so happens that the Intervideo Decoder is better at handling HD than Purevideo?
