I have been using gbpvr for a couple of years and recently upgraded to 1.0.16. I am using HIP with the Haup PVR-150MCE. This had been working fine up until the upgrade. I am using pvrx2 and have not opened gbpvr. I did not directly upgrade to 1.0.16 but uninstalled the previous version, renamed the directories and installed the new version. I had some skins and plugins that were never quite right so wanted to start over from scratch. I also upgraded to the latest version of HIP. I have since fully uninstalled and reinstalled HIP with new configuration files.
Since the upgrade, I randomly schedule recordings and sometimes the channel will change properly and other times not. If I view LiveTV, I am able to watch all of the channels by punching in the numbers on the remote. If I view the TV Guide, I can select each of the channels and it will change it properly. I then schedule another recording on the channel that previously failed and it changes properly and records the correct show.
With previous versions, I could always see the channel change on the recorded files. With the new version, I do not always see the channel change on the recordings. This occurs on correctly and incorrectly recorded shows. Probably not related but thought I would point that out.
It seems pvrx2 always sends channel numbers to hip but the numbers are slow part of the time which causes the incorrect recordings. An example would be recording on 105. It will punch in 105 and other times I see 10 then a delay then a 5. Since I donât have a channel 10, the STB changes to 9 then the 5 is sent so I end up on channel 5.
I have scheduled 4 or 5 shows the last couple of nights and a different channel has failed each night. I schedule another show the next morning on the same channel and it works fine.
Using the PVRX2 interface
when I setup a reoccuring recording to occur for the season or for every show on a channel. It will save the channel and the times correctly and will record but the Show title and Show description are incorrect. Deleting the reoccuring and resetting it does not help. I have not wiped out my EPG yet but anyone else have similar problems.
Additionally there is a minor interface issue to me. When you are in the TVGuide and select an item to record the recording settings window pops up all of the items advance to the right, except the quality which by default is set to Medium. shouldnt you be able to hit the right arrow and get the high setting this seems more intuitive to me so it would be Low<Med>High not High<Med>Low
Is there a way to set your default method of recording to high with out changing the rates of Medium, I like all of mine on High for the most part?
I thought that the picture on my tv was kind of blurry though my living room tv. I assumed that it was because the TV is around 15 years old and maybe the output from my video card wasn't really up to spec.
Turns out that I actually needed glasses :p Everything looks really sharp now!!
Solution to: "The remote name could not be resolved:
âwebservices.prod.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.comâ" error line found at the following location:
The problem is that "prod." shouldn't be in the above name. The correct name is 'webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com' and the address is 206.18.98.175
The quick fix is to go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (on XP) and add the following line to the end of the file:
I installed version v1.0.16 on my Windows XP machine (with Hauppauge PVR-350). If I use the GBPVR.exe executable it works good -- I see the menu on both the TV and the PC monitor, and when I watch LiveTV the output is only on the TV. However, when I use the PVRX2.exe executable (I like the new menus -- looks great), the menu and Live TV only show up on the monitor, never on the TV. I have selected VMR9 Custom on the config, but I understand PVRX2 always uses this. I know I'm probably missing a simple setting but I cannot figure it out. I've attached part of the logs, and I can get the rest tonight if needed.
Also, the computer does not have a monitor on it -- I just connect to it over my network using VNC, I don't know if that makes a difference.
I've successfully updated my EPG data from SchedulesDirect to GBPVR v1.0.16, but I have a problem. The station ID space in TV Guide is cramped and doesn't show the channel numbers.
WABC, for example, reads: WAB
-------------------------- C
Rather than:--------------WABC
--------------------------- 7
(ignore the dashes)
Is this a GBPVR or SchedulesDirect problem, and how can I fix it?? Thanks.
Hi, I finally got fed up and reverted from Vista to XP a couple nights ago, and I have had much better success. I have GBPVR installed and working, for the most part. My MVP is connected and working perfectly, recordings are scheduling via schedulesdirect, and the video on the TV looks great. However, I get no video if I try to watch live tv on the computer screen, just audio. Does anyone have any idea about this?
Also, what happened to the search guide feature? This was an extremely useful feature, but I can't seem to find it in the new version.
I'm trying to install GBPVR on my laptop, and I get the following error message during installation:
Error 1904. Module C:\gbpvr\PsiParser.ax failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895. Contact your support personel.
I don't have a TV tuner on my laptop, but I hope to use it as a network TV client, with my desktop as the server.
