Hi guys, I'm a total newbie to matters PVR and I am having issues working out what the ballyhoo I'm meant to be doing.
Basically I'm running Microsoft Windows Xp and a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150MCE (OEM), and am trying to access Terrestrial Digital through my house aerial, but I have no idea what any of the settings are or how I should have GB-PVR set up. Literally any assistance you guys can give will be appreciated, and a cookie to the person who successfully gets me hooked up to the TV
I realize that the plug-ins are written by independent people but as an end user I would like to see some consistency in how we interact with plug-ins.
The most egregious example seems to be that when working from a PC (i.e. not from a MediaMVP) to select an action requires either:
* A single click with the mouse
* A double click with the mouse
* Pressing the ENTER key on the keyboard.
Basically, I have to try the three actions until I find which one the plug-in's author wants to use at that instant.
I think that if a style guide were established and plugin developers were to follow it then there would be more consistency in the user interaction with the program and it would eliminate a source of frustration on our part.
When I make a recording with teletext subtitles, not every subtitles is captured in the .srt file. Every 5 seconds a subtitle is captured. Do I have configured something wrong? Can you please tell me how can I fix this?
I reported this earlier, and I hoped it would be solved in a newer version. The problem is that the MVP disconnectes as GBPVR stops or starts recording. It just happened again. I was watching a recording, when GBVRP started a new recording at 22:10. The MVP disconnected and it took 2 minutes before it reconnected.
I completely reinstalled my OS and GBPVR last month because of a mobo upgrade, so I'm sure no old stuff is present. Still, it hapens.
Any idea how to solve this?
I've just installed v1.0.16 on a computer that has a Hauppage PVR350 PCI card. The gbpvr.exe launches/runs fine for the userid that did the installation (an administrator account.) However, a second, non-administrator userid cannot launch gbpvr.exe (they receive message "No available PVR350 was detected in system". I can still use Hauppage's WinTV2000 software from the same non-administrator userid without any problems. I have attached the GBPVR.exe.log and GBPVR.exe-native.log files associated with the failing launch. The GBPVR.exe.log contains an error: "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." which may be pointing to the error. Here are the details of my computer:
Windows XP Professional w/SP2
RAM: 2GB
TV card: Hauppage PVR350
I've seen other posts with this same error, but none with a resolution. As WinTV2000 continues to work, this doesn't seems to be a hardware problem.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
I am running GBPVR version 99.12 I'm getting an error when setting up the EPG with Schedules Direct. I have set up an account, selected my line up and downloaded the files from Schedules Direct to make this work. When I run configure, enter my TZ info, enter user name info & password, a message flashes on the screen too fast to read. If I look at the I-xmltv log, I get an error 62. It references the ReadME-Now file. If you look at what an error 62 is, "Input Past End of File". What does that mean? I don't get any data from SD. I've spend several hours trying different things, still same error. Does anyone have any thoughts.
when I use PVRX2 I get channel numbers to show up in the TV guide, but when I use GBPVR they do not. Is there a string I can put in the config file to make them appear when I use GBPVR?
There have been several suggestions for how to rename shows, etc. Most exceed my programming skills or require more time to implement than I have. As an alternative I found SQLiteSpy a freeware program at http://www.portablefreeware.com/?sc=140 that allows direct browsing of the DB and direct editing.
Since I am no SQL expert I limited myself to renaming a couple of Programmes titles that I had imported and had a title of "Imported on ...". Not knowing the structure and interdependencies of the tables I would do no more than that for fear of messing it up, but that's all I needed to do.
I will like to hear from anyone that tries it and can suggest more advanced uses of this tool, without screwing up the database of course
Having just installed a Wintv nova-s plus with 4.0 drivers and 1.0.16 I seem to have a recording problem.
Live TV works fine and I can even pause it and resume, although the first pause gives a black screen for several seconds.
However, all recordings either scheduled or manual give me a black file with no sound (not zero size it just plays black). I get the impression that the Nova-s isn't being set to the correct channel. I've tried different bda mux settings to no avail.
I was wondering if anyone can help with this.
Log files are attached
There are 2 recordings. The first was when I just pressed "record until leaving live tv" (Screen froze and then went black) The second was recording the current program from the tv guide
One further thing - I was getting the "no signal" popup until I applied the patch. Is this connected?
Many thanks for any help
