Hi sub,
I've been having problems with getting FM radio working and have been playing with Graphedit and can see the problem but need to find that next step to fix it.
I can see that the audio output goes to a file gbnetradio-2.2.mp3, this maybe the wat a stream plays for Netradio I dunno. But it's not working as an output for FM radio.
If I change that using graph edit and output the stream to the Default direct sound device, bingo radio works perfect.
My question is, how do I make that change permanant in Gbpvr. How can I stop the audio stream ending up in a file and re-direct it to an audio rendering device.
Have been using the mvpmc dongle (latest nightly build) for the past few weeks, these are my observations during emulation:
1. Good at detecting aspect ratio, at least for my downloaded videos xvids. (don't know how to do this with regular dongle, without resorting to transcoding)
2. Interface is a lot slower than normal dongle
3. If you pause, it will crash and hang
4. If you fast forward too much, it will hang (video will stop)
5. You can only watch several videos before it hangs and/or crashes
6. Net Radio works
7. Music Library works
8. You Tube works
9. AC3 works but is not in sync.
My conclusion:
I know this is still unstable, but i like it a lot (mem leaks). I'm actually impressed that it can do more than the regular dongle (AC3, wow). The developers have done a great job, I will try the MythTV portion if I could get it to work on a VirtualBox.
Although, I would have wanted the interface to execute faster, the sluggishness is a real bummer. I read somewhere in the forum that GBPVR uses a full redraw of the screen. Maybe the dongle can XOR and check only for specific changes in the screen.
Well to start off my HD crashed so I had to redo everything anyway and decided to go with v0.99.12. Everything works like it is suppose to except video. When I go to watch live TV I get the sound but no picture. I can even change channels and the sound changes with it. Enclosed is my entire log folder. Hopefully some of you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Could someone please help me to get this card working? I have been able to preview live TV and sound OK using the WDM driver i installed with the card - at least I could yesterday, today when i tried i'm getting a "Value does not fall within the expected range" error when i start the TV but that is another issue. i took some screen shots and have attached them.
I assume i need to use graph edit to capture TV but i've read a lot of posts but none are clear on how to enable graph edit and what screen that's done in. I wish there was an easy to follow guide to set this up. I'm a software Engineer and still have trouble weeding through all the posts to try to make sense out of it all.
Since GBPVR is absolutely the best free pvr software available, I use it.
My PC is sequestered in the back room, away from the TV & DirecTV DVR that is commandeered on a regular basis by my son and fiancee. My financial situation is such that I dont have the mullah to pony up for a new LCD monitor, and I'm stuck with SXGA for the forseeable future.
The programmers at Codemasters have added an option for 5:4 display to titles like ToCA Race Driver 3, even though most of them are ports from Xbox and Playstation games that are aimed at people with HDTV or regular old TV. Have a heart, let us watch our TV shows correctly on our space saving yet out dated PC's, and add a third toggle for the SXGA LCD aspect ratio. It's a very common piece of hardware, and will make your software that much better.
I purchased an LCD TV Monitor (no tuner) this weekend for a smokin' price! However, it's so new that there aren't any "universal" codes for the remote Also, I had to move my HD tuner from my PVR to the TV so that we could get the Dish DVR working (it's TV2 so I needed to be able to tune to channel 60). BTW, GBPVR is for *me* - The wife and kids get the crap Dish DVR and I can record on GBPVR to my hearts content
Anyway, to turn the the thing on, you have to have 1 remote to turn on the TV, another remote to turn on the HD tuner and then the Dish remote to change channels. :eek:
I've heard you guys talking about the Harmony Remotes, and was wondering if you could impart some opinion/advice about them. What I need is for it to be able to "learn" remote codes, play macros and send Dish Network UHF remote commands. Oh, it would also be nice to work for my VCR and DVD player too
I did a quick search for Harmony Remotes and got a little lost (or impatient) trying to figure out which model did what. Right off the bat I see the 550, 670., 880, 890 etc.
Anyway, I was hoping to get some words of wisdom from this awesome brain trust!
My first post to this forum, I usually pride myself on being able to search the forums & google to solve problems myself but this one has me completely beat.
I have purchased a Hauppauge Nova-T-500 last week & have wasted 4 solid days trying to get the thing working, primarly with GBPVR but in my desperation other PVR software, I have had various errors & problems, & have tried getting things working under Vista Ultimate 32bit & XP Pro SP2.
Initally I could get the card installed & recording on only 1 tuner, I read various posts about the fix for Dual Tuners under XP. Applied the patches but still didnt get anywhere.
I then unistalled the drivers using the Hauppauge hcwclear function & re-installed the drivers (in fact Iâve done this more times than I can remember) I then got a message from GBPVR telling me "failed to locate configured BDA..." when trying to set up the second tuner. After spending all of today readling various posts & trying numorous things. I gave up & reverted to a clean Vista install, Guess what! Same issue. Im just completely baffled. Any thoughts anyone? I thought at one point my Device managed showed 2 entires for the card (tuner 1 & tuner 2) but I just get one now (Nova DT-Dual Tuner Device) is this normal?
Im so pi**ed off with this Ive wasted 4 days on something which I guess should be so simple. I have used GBPVR before I have it running on another machine here with an AVER media (Single tuner) usb box that works perfectly.
Sorry I am new to this so I hope someone can help me out. I have been running GBPVR for some time now and like the software alot. Recently I have purchased a MediaMVP and hooked it to my network. To my suprise after turning it on and starting the Server things worked right off the bat! (or so I thought) When I choose to watch either live tv or channel guide and select a station I can watch LiveTV with no problem. But when I choose to either the music library or video library I am presented with a listing of all the directories / files I have setup how ever when I select either a movie / video or music file the screen goes blank and nothing begins to play. If I start the GBPVR front end on my pc and do the same action the video or music begins to play with out a problem. Has anyone ever run into this issue or any one have any recommendations on how to solve it? I originally thought that possibly there was a problem with one of my directory configurations seeing as some are setup to use a network share and others are setup to use a local storage device but choosing a file from either location still gives me the black screen end result. I know its not a lockup on the MVP or the PC's fault because I can hit the back button on the remote and I go right back to the menu.
