I have release 1.0.16 with all patches to date. Running on Vista 32-bit. I am running pvrx2 -fse.
I have 3 tuners:
Hauppage 150MCE analog
HRHOMERUN digital 2 tuners
Each tuner has a unique epg source configured with channel lineups. There are no duplicate channels in the 3 lineups. I am tuning everything from OTA Antenna (3 separate antenna's)
The problem I am having watching Live TV is as follows:
I tune an analog station
I press the channel up button to tune a digital station
I press then channel down button to return to the analog station
The analog station does not appear on the screen. I only get a black screen. I eventually have to end task on pvrx2. I also need to restart the recording service since it is still buffering one of the shows. Afterwards I can re-launch pvrx2 -fse and reproduce the same thing again.
This also occurs if I tune a analog channel, then chane to a digital channel by keying in the channel number, the keying in a digital channel.
The only way I seem to be able to change back and forth between analog and digital channels is to press the stop button before tuning another channel. I can start in the guide select the channel, hit stop to return to the guide, and select another channel without incident.
Recently my PVRX2 started to lock up when I try to enter “Recordings”, the “TV Guide” is ok? I have attached the logs I hope someone can Help.
From what I can see in Windows Task Manager it is using 80% to 90% CPU utilisation and just sits there. I can not shut it down; I have to kill the process.
Ok, so I run a multi monitor set up on the PVR. Don't ask why, its a long story about a bad motherboard on my main computer, the PVR is my backup.
Anyway, I had PVRX2.exe running on one screen and I wasn't paying attention when I started GBPVR.exe on the other. Well apparently this is one way to open a gate strait into hell. My computer monitors flashed a few times and smoke billowed from the DVD drive!. Well, not really. But I apperntly broke the GBPVR.exe.
Now when I try to run it I get annoying and useless "GB-PVR has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. " Followed by a send or dont send error message. However if I don't click on send or don't send I can use the GBPVR.exe until I do click on the send/don't send.
I'm running v1.0.16 and I don't have a clue as to what I broke. A reboot did not restore order to my PVR. I don't really need the GBPVR.exe but its nice to be able to go back to it for things like the search guide feature. Any ideas?
i read how to add a card that isnt on the list but when i try to find the filters using graphedit, it doesnt show. my card is a "hp expresscard tv tuner" or a yuan ec680 for my laptop. i have it installed correctly because it works with my beyondtv client, but gbpvr looks better to me. does anyone know what i should do?
I had 1.0.8 running and everything was fine. It may be worth noting I had an issue with getting the system started up with a database issue initially where my TV Tuners Order set in the Config was not being saved.
Since then, I decided to upgrade to 1.0.16. After rebooting PC, the Status on the Menu Bar looks like a TV. GBPVR.exe Crashes. Same for the PVRX2. But I can load the Config utility with no problems. I also tried different combinations of the Overlay manager since I thought it may have been the root problem?
Any ideas? I've been fighting this for a week or so trying to figure it out. No idea. I have tried uninstalling GBPVR completely, deleting the dir in Program Files , rebooting, and reinstalling. But that seems to have no effect. Yes, this is Vista :/
Just something I noticed when I tested PVRX2 (1.0.16) - playback (live or recorded) tears when there's a lot of change going on in the video (flashing lights for eg, or the title sequence from Doctor Who is a good producer of this effect ).
GBPVR.exe plays back the same media flawlessly. I'm using the Intervideo NonCSS video decoder with the overlay manager on a PAL CRT display (i.e. interlaced). Is PVRX2 perhaps picking up a different set of config values or otherwise using a different method for playback?
I am trying to use the DVB-Broadcast EPG, but I'm not getting anything. I unchecked all my channels except one channel (that I get strong reception on) to try different things with. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help? I've attached logs.
great addon for this great gbpvr app but i've also got a request:
{MinutesToStart} for gbpvrcli which should display the number of minutes remaining till the next recording.
why do i need this? because i'm transcoding with ffmpeg in the PostProcessing.bat and i need to make sure i dont shut down 2-3 minutes before the next recording starts! i've noticed that the computer comes out of standby about 5 minutes before a recording so that would cause it to miss a recording.
There is no audio on a couple of my dvb-s channels when using the MediaMVP. I am guessing this might be because they are AC3? If so, is there any way to get the audio working for AC3 channels?
