I programmed GBPVR to record a football (American) game over the weekend and while the game was on I wanted to watch while recording. To my surprise the game was in black and white! It was a bit fuzzy also. It reminded me of the old TV I grew up with.
I know the problem was not with ESPN because I could switch to the TV tuner and it was nice and clear.
I have been able to record and playback many other programs. However, most of those are 30 min or 1 hour programs. This was the first program that was long (I even extended the post recording approx 1 hour). Is there a file-size issue with super long recordings? Does the program automatically switch to a lower quality recording for long recordings like this?
What would cause the recording to be black and white???
When the game was over, I went to the PC running GBPVR and verified that the issue was with the recording, not my MVP.
I would like to be able to record these programs this season, so any help would be appreciated greatly!
I recently had to replace a failing PVR-150 card. I replaced it with the AVerMedia M780 Combo PCI-e card. My other card is a PVR-150MCE. Both cards have drivers installed and the GBPVR Tuning Assistant can use both cards to tune, but GBPVR's config application will always tell me that the drivers for the card cannot be found. It is a Yes/No question on if I want to continue installing the capture card, even though the drivers cannot be found.
If the check the box for "Show installed devices only", both cards appear on the list. But when I try to save, that is when the error comes up.
This happens no matter which card I try to install second. M780 first, 150MCE second or vice versa. I have tried uninstalling GBPVR completely, and reinstalling, still didn't work. I also even tried going back to 0.99.12, but it doesn't recognize the M780 card.
I'm trying to record from a Hauppauge PVR 150 through the composite inputs and record as 320x240. I'm using version 1.0.16.
Unfortunately, nothing I do seems to record at the lower resolution. Everything is recorded as 640x480. I've tried changing the Low Quality profile and the 2 custom profiles, but it still records as 640x480.
Is it even possible to record directly to 320x240 with this card? If so, any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Has anybody gotten their ATI Remote Wonder working with 1.0.16 pvrx2? The old plugin quit working after the upgrade. The keymap'ed commands still work but the event based ones do not.
I remember somebody had updated the plugin last time this happened, I was hoping they did it again.
The forum search is broken, so apologies in advance if I'm beating a dead horse.
is it just never going to be reliable, and stutter free.
Seems like its trying to transfer more than 2MB/sec during replay, and a 54Mbits/sec wireless should give (54/8 =) 6.5MB/sec so there should be plenty of bandwidth. But, I'm getting really stuttery replay at best (unwatchable), and CPU on the server or client is not high.
How do you remove menu item? Specifically I want to remove the delete and the transcode from the video library menu. (I don't trust my wife and kid) :-).
I searched as best as I could but could not find the answer and with the search function in the forums not working....
Hello there,
I'm hoping this is just a newb problem and I'm missing something obvious. I have a WinXP SP2 box which previously had a working 0.99.12 setup with Zap2It which I just barely found out today was going away. That's what prompted my update attempt.
I backed up my db3 and config.xml files, uninstalled 0.99 and did a fresh install of 1.0.16 and the new C++ runtime. I've copied the patched GBPVRBackendCommon.DLL from the Survival Guide to my GBPVR directory overwriting the old one, and registered a SchedulesDirect trial account, but I'm still getting an error when trying to update my EPG:
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error
I figured either there was a problem with SchedulesDirect (Possibly, but doubtful) or I still didn't have the new DLL setup correctly so I gave it a couple reboots and tried to register it with 'regsvr32' in both c:\gbpvr and c:\windows\system32 but that fails as well, and still no dice. I don't think I even need to register a .Net DLL, but that's the limit of my knowledge. So now I'm at a loss. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much.

Just switched to the yahoo EPG from Zap2it and when I did, got duplicate channels in my guide. So I exported my recordings and deleted all 5 of my tunners. All the channels went away but four of the main channels I record. so what is happening now is since there are duplicate of those channels non of the shows I have set at season will show up as pending. Now if I reschdule the shows they will. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do if I delete all the tuners but not all the channels get deleted? I was trying to do some searching in the Forum but that now working right now.
The Wiki is a great idea, but wouldn't it be good also to have documentation included with the GB-PVR install itself? or a downloadable PDF manual for quick reference?
