I have upgraded from 99.12 to 1.08 on a W2K3 server based on a Foxconn MB with nVidia 6150 chipset. It contains one PVR500MCE, one PVR150 and I am using on board graphics.
If I start PVRX2 the machine crashes completely and reboots. No problems with GBPVR. Also using PVRX2 as MediaMVP server does not create a problem. To see if it is in the upgrade procedure, I have made a backup of my old installation, uninstalled everything and made a fresh install. Also then the system crashed immediately. Thereafter I uninstalled my decoder but with same result.
The event viewer gives error code 10000050, parameter1 bc5ce648, parameter2 00000000, paramter3 f6387648, parameter4 00000002
I have enclosed the (zipped) logfiles but I don't seen anything unusual. Any idea?

I installed a PC client over the weekend and the server seem to be unable to tune correctly for my Hauppauge 150 card. My HVR3000 still works fine with Freeview and DVB EPG.

I use the 150 to tune to Triangle (Ch.47) and Prime (Ch.59) as well as TV2 & TV3 (no EPG but for backup recording only).

The Hauppauge WinTV2000 works fine on all the channels but GBPVR seem to only show the last used channel regardless of whether it any of the 4 above that I switch to.

The enclosed log show me trying to switch to Prime. For some reason the log indicates its trying to tune to Ch.60 instead of 59.

I've completed remove the 150 capture source and readded it but it still won't work properly.

I'm completely stumped. Have anyone seen this before? Did installing the PC client and the windows networking on the server cause this?

I've only just tried your program for the first time (v1.08), downloaded it this morning.

Unfortunately when I install it, then tell it which card I have (a Leadtek DTV1000T) and then try to scan the channels, bang, I get an error every time. There are 8 transport streams available to me and it seems to choke on the sixth.

I've looked through the forums and I can't find any other posts related to this issue on this card. I found one other post about scanning errors, but the solution doesn't appear to apply to me. I've had no issues with other software using the same card/machine.

I've rar'd up that scan error message, along with all the the logs (it's a new install, there weren't many) and a dxdiag report, hopefully you can make some sense out of it all? (It's about 60k and I've already PM'd you the link to grab it) Not much else I can think to post, I haven't even got the thing to run yet

cheers

Hi,

What a great application, well done sub. I'm very happy with GBPVR in general, it is the most complete so far of what I have tried (about 5 other apps)

However some things really naff me off.

Firstly, my setup. As you can see, I live in New Zealand. I'm using a Hauppauge HVR3000 in an Athlon 2000XP to get freeview via DVB-S.
Once I figured out how to edit the files to get all the freeview channels (TVNZ on hpol and vpol + CanWest on hpol), all was well however....

1 - I have found the EPG in GBPVR is a bit flaky. Almost every other product I have tried, just seems to pull the freeview EPG from the channels without any issues. Is there anything I can do to improve this? I'd prefer not to use XMLTVNZ unless I really have to. Most other software just seems to download it seamlessly without me noticing. The problem may partly be due to me using the vpol for TVNZ (the sky rebroadcast), as we also use Sky in our house.

2 - whenever I record anything, it works really well. It is only the second piece of software I have had that records the TS directly without re-encoding (so great on another PC). However it won't play and record simultaneously what i am recording. Can I do this using GBPVR? I tried to turn on the Live Preview option or whatever it was, but it made no difference.

If I can sort these issues out, there's no going back

Thanks

I never use the pause or rewind features and the program seems to quickly gobble up my precious HD space.

I would like recording to ocur by my request only.

Hi all fellow gbpvr users, I am writing from Auckland in NZ and I am looking at going from an analog setup with 2x Avermedia M150's to most likely 2x Hauppauge Nova-S Pro digital cards which will receive freeview. I just have a few things I want to check on before I start to commit to this change over.

For the satellite setup all I need is a small dish with 1x LNB, RG6 cable running from the LNB into a digital splitter (probably amplified) then straight into my 2x digital cards?

How reliable is the TV guide provided with freeview in comparison to XMLTVNZ or the likes? any advantages or disadvantages?

Any thing else I need to know in terms of setting up the digital cards (all I know is that the frequency is 10750 and the satellite I need to connect to is Optus D1), I also read somewhere I need to use the 'map digital channels' option to 'tune' the digital channels? Is there a NZ based guide any where?

A was also wondering if anyone had any feedback on data requirements for storing the new format, I presume I will fit less recordings on my hdd but was wondering how much less? I will still convert them to XVID I imagine.

I tried comskip a while ago but found the results were to inaccurate, will the detection improve any with digital?



Thanks in advance for your input.

Regards,

Scott Thompson.

I recently tried to upgrade to v1.0.8 and have not been very successful. I have reinstalled many times, always run vcedist.exe, but still have major stability problems (Window with "pvr2 has encountered a problem and needs to close"). Have also done complete uninstall, deleted gbpvr, and started from scratch.

The main screen (Blue Skin) comes up fine, I can select Weather/Video Library/Music Player2 just fine. I get the above error message randomly in Weather, but always within about a minute after starting a Video or Music file.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Loaded the new version to the wiki.
Changes:
*Fixed a bug in PVRX2 where tracks were not being skipped when playing - a difference in how PVRX2 handles the playlist over GBPVR
*Fixed a bug in the SearchResultsScreen where the results kept disappearing while playing.

For those who had installed the previous, and installed the service, you will need to stop the service prior to install.

It may come up and say MusicLibrary2 is already installed. You'll have to uninstall then install this version (I haven't figured out how to make it upgrade in place yet :o )

Is there any chance of getting the screensaver re-instated in the latest version of gbpvr

I mainly use gbpvr as a music jukebox with musiclibrary2 sending to an MVP running martins mvpmc dongle.

In previous versions the screensaver kicked in after 30 seconds or so and well saved my TV screen, but latest version just leaves the screen displayed all the time.

heres hoping

Hi all, long time user, seldom poster (you'll know me from the gbpvr splash screen!)

Looking at getting freeview, have a sky dish. Have looked around at available cards, read the forums here, but im still a bit iffy as to what i need exactly.

I was looking at the hauppauge hvr-1300 or the 3000, i think it was. Unfortunately i dont have the cash to make a mistake with this, and ive been living entirely without tv for all of this year, so it would be nice to make use of it! we have zero reception for tv here, but obviously everyone has sky dishes around here.

the lnb(?) thing is whats getting me, i think that freeview and sky use the opposite?

Basically im asking for a push in the right direction and for someone to make sure im not arsing up who and buying the wrong card from someone who has done the freeview nz thing - i know i need dvb-s obviously, but after that im not 100% sure.

I also gather that gbpvr cant record one channel and watch another with dvb-s cards, i think that mediaportal does? this is a pretty big one for me unfortunatly as i cant afford 2 cards

Thanks in advance guys

Bren

Thanks guys
