I get a very interesting problem that I cannot get any of my tuners to work. They are all ATSC OTA. They are the an HVR-1600, Avermedia M780, and the HDHomeRun. I know the drivers work properly because I am able to use all the tuners with BeyondTV. Also when I go to set up a new tuner and select "only show devices available on this machine" all the cards show up properly. I have tried closing every other program possible with no luck. Here are my log files.
When in the 'recordings', 'pending' menu - first seen on MVP, but it also occurs on the main PC. (edit, also client PC's)
If a currently recording programme is in it's end padding then the 'cursor'/highlighted entry is reset to the top. This doesn't happen when it's just recording, but only when it is in the end padding. It would appear to do this every 5 seconds.
I have had moments of this, but not been able to pin it down, but today I had added and hour of end padding for the motogp and wanted to update an entry later on, but couldn't move down to it as the cursor kept shooting back up to the top.
Just checked and the gbpvr interface does this as well.
No logs as yet, system in heavy use, but if needed will reproduce in around 8 hours.
I don't know how to put all this but I'll try.
I have a pretty intense setup m ex built for me and I want to expand it.
My network is fiber optic (with some wires too) and a bunch of PC's. Mac's, Linux machines and a few windows pc's that I only use for HTPC applications..
I'm not totally dumb, I learned quite a bit watching him and reading up on stuff but there's still a lot of stuff I just don't know about.
I want to build a media center. I have an old Dell PC that I want to use.
It is a low profile kind. It takes these little short cards that are only maybe 2" tall.
It has an Nvidia card (I think it's an FX5200) with svideo out.
It has one other slot and I would prefer to leave the fiber optic network card in it but if I have to I can remove it and use the built in network.
Here's what I want to do. I want this new machine to be a media center for playback only. I don't want to put a TV tuner in it. I just want to use it to play back files from the hard disk or from the network OR from a live video input.
I have a 36" TV that only has ONE svideo input. Currently I have another computer plugged into it, it's running MyTheatre with a Nexus satellite card. I can watch satellite TV on it just fine, it's wonderful. But I can't use the Nexus remote to play back stuff from the disc or whatever. It's pretty much a satellite receiver only.
That's all fine and dandy but I want to play back other stuff, I tried windows media center but it was horrible and I hated it. This GB-PVR looks cool.
So what I want to be able to do is connect the svideo output of the Mytheatre machine into the little Dell. Then I plug the Dell into the big TV through the svideo.
[mytheatre pc]------[Dell GB-PVR]-----[TV]
See what I mean? Then I can watch either stuff that's on the Dell OR switch over to the live svideo input, basically piping the live A/V through the Dell into the TV..
The question is, what sort of capture card would I need to get that would fit in that low profile card slot OR, is there a capture device that would do this that I could plug into one of the USB ports?
I can't run GB-PVR on my satellite machine because the Nexus card I have isn't supported, something about drivers.
So that means I have to pipe the live A/V through the GB-PVR somehow.
I hope you can understand what I'm wanting to do here and why. If you can understand what I said. It makes sense to me. Or am I not making sense?
I don't want to spend a lot of money either. I don't want to replace the satellite card.
I already did that once before, I had a Twinhan and it was garbage so my ex had me buy a Nexus and it's worked great. I'm not about to buy another one when this one works perfectly. Besides, I don't have a lot of money anymore...
I have everything I need to build a second machine, the PC, the Nvidia card with svideo output, a MS MCE remote and the USB remote receiver. I just need some sort of way to get svideo into it that GB-PVR will work with. Everything I've read in the wiki and help files all have to do with putting a TV tuner or a satellite card in. I don't want to do that.
I just want playback of prerecorded stuff and the ability to view a live svideo A/V signal.
If it can go in a slot, that's fine but it would be nice if there was a USB thing to do it with.
I'm interested in seeing if this is possible, NATing between the two subnets. I can ping the GBPVR pc from a pc on subset 1, and stream video to the pc via VLC, but at startup, the MVP cannot find the GBPVR pc to load the dongle (I think) because it keeps asking to "rescan".
Because of the NAT'ing, the GBPVR doesn't or can't see the MVP initially? Is this the case, is it necessary for the GBPVR to set up a session that in this case is being blocked by the NAT'ing? Is there a TCP or UDP port that must be open (fwd'd)???
I've moved the MVP onto subnet 2, and find that everything works fine.
Tonight I went in after noticing that there were new channels showing in the TV Guide that I do not receive programming for. I went into config and removed the channels for the capture source and did an EPG update. It looked like it executed normally, but now I get "no show details" for everything in the TV Guide. I am using SD as my source. I have also remove these additional channels from SD so they wont show up in the future. I then went in and removed all channels from the capture source and did an update. All of the channels loaded again and I still show nothing in the guide. I would prefer to not have to start with a new DB and lose all of my scheduled recordings. What happened to my listings and how can I fix this?
I just installed 1.0.16 and my dvr-ms recordings show wrong durations for the shows. The 18min recording below shows up as 1h 35mins @50fps. See FFMpeg output below.
I've been using 99.12 on a single core CPU in the past with no problems and recently upgraded to dual-core. Enclosed is the recording log.
Is this a problem in the DVB-S source (NZ Freeview) itself or the way in which the DVR-MS file is written?
When playing .mkv files I have problems with video pausing for a moment then continuing and issues with repeating sound and sound becoming of sync.
When I play the .mkv files with my zoom player (default player) the files play perfectly. Basiclly I can play .mkv files perfectly everywhere except with gvpvr.
I would greatly appreciate any help offered. I have been working on this for hours without any progress.
I've noticed a couple times in the past, PVRX2 seemed to lockup when trying to view a movie. I recently had a movie that was consistently locking up as it just started to play.
After further investigation (looking at the log), it appears that the Resume Dialog should have been showing, but it was not, the screen simply appeared to be locked on the movie image.
Once I saw that in the log, I returned to the locked show, simply it tab, then enter, the movie then started playing.
Now that I've got it past that point, it does not fail anymore. It looks like it only occurs when the movie was stopped right at the begining, within the 1st couple seconds.
I recently acquired an ATI HD2600XP card (PCI-e) and it seems to work very well outputting HDTV. However, it's also supposed to output sound over HDMI (actually via one of the DVI outputs and ATI's DVI->HDMI adapter) but I can't get the sound to work. I've installed the HDMI sound driver (multiple times) but the device doesn't show up in device manager. I also installed a Microsoft patch that handles HDMI sound bit still no workie. Anyone else running one of these cards and have the sound working? I'm running XP Pro/SP2 and the latest ATI drivers (7.10). I can get sound out of the sound card but I'd really like to get the HDMI sound to work.
