Pinnacle have finally posted Vista drivers for the Dual Diversity stick on their website. On my dual boot pc of xp and vista I have tried to get GB-pvr running using vista but with no success. The pinnacle tuners show up in the device type list in config but dont show when I select "only show devices detected in this machine". I have also tried using the bda.ini file used in xp which i know works. I tried a while ago with Pinnacles beta vista drivers but they didnt work, so I have uninstalled gbpvr this morning, deleted the directory and reinstalled GBPVR but I still have no success. I am assuming pinnacles drivers are ok for vista as I have managed to get vista media center to show TV programmes. Any help gratefully received, thanks
Will there be a Linux version of GBPVR? (I recomend kubuntu Linux if so). Windows har significantly more overhead than Linux, leading to recording glitches on slower cpu's, so I would welcome a Linux version of this excellent program.
I have a Sapphire Theatrix 550 PRO card. I love the way GB-PVR works and am enjoying using it.
I have a question for those more experienced. One feature I have is the input block which plugs into the card which has S-Video, Composite, right and left channel audio. I have some home videos of my children which is currently on S-VHS tape and want to author a DVD before my aging S-VHS VCR completely kicks the bucket.
I tried adding another Capture source (using S-Video as the the source in the Recording Source settings) in configuration, but that just got me a black screen (I had to alter my video decoder setting from "System Default" to "Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder to bring the signal back). I tried a S-Video as the the source in the Recording Source settings.
I just created a user account to run the GB-PVR Recording Service under. I've given this account the following rights:
- Access this computer from the network (client/server setup)
- Log on as a service
I've also given it Full Control on the C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\ directory as well as the \recordings\ and \livetv\ directories.
I can start the recording service just fine under this user account, but I can't get EWA to start. I get the following lines in the log file (attached):
Error starting webserver: Could not load file or assembly 'GBPVRRecordingService, Version=1.0.2614.27227, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
When I run the recording service under LocalSystem, this error is not logged, and EWA works just fine.
What other right does the user account need to launch EWA?
From now on, the current XSuite beta build will always be available on the wiki so users can get there hands on fixes/features sooner.
As of today, version 0.50beta includes these two changes. More to come...
*Donât crash if noposter.gif is missing (Reported here)
*Posters now go in gbpvr\media\art instead of gbpvr\art (Requested here)
The installer now puts its own posters in gbpvr\media\art but if you have existing XRecord posters in gbpvr\art, you'll have to move them yourself to the new location. Users of the Programme Image Tool should get rid of the extra batch file that copies the images to XRecord's old non-standard directory.
After I installed a newer mortherboard cpu & ram
this problum started when I try live tv & or recording
the system just reboots
(Hardware)
mortherboard Gigabyte GA-K8U
cpu AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Socket 754
ram Kingston 512MB PC3200
pvr card Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500 MCE
I'm experiencing a problem where the client stops responding after I start watching a recorded show. The video and audio continue to play without a hitch, but I cannot get the OSD to pull up to rewind or fast forward. I've tried using different video decoders and different renderers, and they all exhibit the same behavior. I have to resort to using the Task Manager to kill the process. I'm using a server/client setup, and the same thing happens regardless of if I use streaming or file sharing mode. If I view the recording by going through EWA, WMP plays the file without problems. The logs are attached.
Some time ago I posted a message with regard to 4 x satellite cards recording all at once.
I can now report that I have changed my system to an ASUS Commando motherboard with a Core II Duo E6420 2.13G and 2G ram. The above problem has disappeared and all is working very well.
The Commando is the only modern motherboard so far that I have found with 4 PCI slots and 6 Sata2s also help.
Hope this may guide somebody in the right direction
