When I am trying to watch live TV, I get the following error:
Quote:Error: Attempting to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
Then it dumps me back to the main menu. This just happened when I moved my PC to a new location with a new cable lineup. I haven't had any problems before.
Then, when I quit GB-PVR (only after getting the preceding error), I get the following message:
Quote:The instruction at "0x070497a8" referenced memory at "0x07074068". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Also, how do I rename channels without editing the XMLTV files?
In PVRX2 I click on the Recordings menu. The Recordings menu item shifts to the right a bit (as expected) then the program locks up... nothing happens. Other menu items work fine. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Music Library locks up
Video Library works fine
Live TV works fine
Picture library locks up
System works fine
TV Guide works fine
I upgraded a couple of weeks ago to 1.0.16 so I could continue to get EPG updates using Schedules Direct. Things have mostly been working out ok except this past Friday GB-PVR has started acting a bit strange.
On Friday night I had some strange problems with gb-pvr crashing when I tried to run the configuration utility and gb-pvr's tray icon looked like a TV rather then the normal circle / recording status icon, clicking on the icon gave a Recording Status window similar to what I show below with 8 different capture sources identified with no real input. To fix the problem I uninstalled gb-pvr, deleted the program directory and started from scratch.
After that I was able to start recording show once again. However, the problem has come back tonight.
When I reboot my computer now the recording service does not start properly, I have a small icon in my tray area (next to the clock) that is a small TV icon instead of the noral GB-PVR record status icon. When I double left click on this icon I get a "Recording Status" window that lists the following:
I have never seen this display before this past Friday. When I tried to run the Configuration utility the program crashes with a Microsoft .NET Framwork error that says:
Quote:"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the applicaiton will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 8, position 32."
If I click Details I get the following:

The only thing I can say that I have done is that during a recording of a show tonight I tried to run the config utility, this caused a crash similar to the above messages. After that, I haven't been able to get the program to work again.
Also, I did notice there was a windows update on Friday on this PC with some updates to the .Net framework files, so perhaps this is connected to the problem.
I am running Windows 2000 on an AMD64 processor with a PVR-150 card. GB-PVR in one version or another has been running pretty much flawlessly for me for over 18 months on this PC up until now. (well and a few hiccups with Schedules Direct but that's working ok now)
My hauppauge pvr150 remote is working fine in gbpvr.exe but it wont work in pvrx2.exe. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
Help. I just upgraded to 1.0.16 from 99.5 and am now having recording problems.
Problem 1:
It creates a 6kb DVR-MS file and then creates a name-1.dvr-ms file that grows as the show records. This is a problem because the 6kb file is the one that is cataloged in GBPVR so the only way to watch the show is to go to the videos library.
Problem 2:
It records the first program in the above format, but all additional programs produce only 6kb files.
I upgraded from 99.5 to get support for schedules direct and ultimately would like to get the interface back to what I had which included UBU Radio, Music Library 2, and Community skin.
Please help!

***************** Update ***********************
Ok, so apparently this is a common problem and I think it has to do with how I have setup the channels. I manually keyed the channels using antennaweb.org because the scan didn't find any channels for some reason. I know they are there because they worked under 99.5 and I can watch Live TV. According to a post from Sub, the format for the entry changed a year ago. What is the new format if it isn't T:58,4,1 ?
established a ScheduleDirect account and configured my provider listings.
insatalled 1.0.16 and applied the epg related changes given in the survival guide
After setting up and saving my tuner card and ScheduleDIrect Source, I clicked on update epg in config, and received the attached error message:
I checked that the the account access information entered for ScheduleDirect in config was correct by using it to successfully access my account in Firefox.
I've been trying to get different plugins (web cam, music library 2, etc.) to work with 1.0.16 (old i/f) but no luck.
Nothing shows in the config/plugin menu for some; others are listed in config but don't show when GBPVR is started.
I've read through everything I can find but I'm not sure whether any of these are supported or whether they all need to be rewritten for the new release.
Lets say I have decided to dedicate a desktop for the sole purpose of a PVR rig, lets also say that the desktop (IBM NetVista Pentium 4 model number: 6790-21U) uses half height (low profile) cards, now lets continue to say the operating system is Win XP Pro SP2.
I have realized that I do not want to "tie" my primary rig up with additional components.
Also I am thinking of connecting a KVM switch from the PVR rig to my primary rig.
I really do not need to watch TV on my primary rig, I just wanna schedule and record shows and be able to send them back to my TV.
My questions are the following:
1. Find best possible PVR solution for my PVR rig's "half height" problem. Perhaps a USB TV tuner?
2. Do I really need a "good" graphics card in the PVR rig if I do not plan on watching tv on my desktop?
3. Could I in theory hook up a KVM switch just so I could bounce from primary to PVR rig? (do not need another monitor in the room, to messy as it is).
4. Will I have any issues running Win XP Pro?
I hope this makes sense to you? I just want to "tuck" the PVR rig away and access it through my primary rig.
What is the recommended multiplexer to use with QAM channels? Most of the QAM programming I have access to is not HD, the the ATI MPEG mux does not output any data (0 byte file). I tried DVR-MS but that put out continuous 6K files (name.dvr-ms, name-1.dvr-ms, etc).
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or some other setting I should use? I probably should mention that it takes approximately 5 seconds (give or take) to "tune" to the QAM channel -- it usally says signal strength 100%, the a few seconds later the quality meter jumps and then I see the station. Could this impact recording at all?
I don't manage to get the EPG or DVB-subtitles to work. I'dont know which options to choose, or what to do. Everything else else seems to work just fine. I have A-link dtu(m) USB-dongle and I'm from finland.
