I have just installed GB-PVR 99.12 fresh
(i removed 99.05 completely and cleaned my registry)
I installed the XRecord plugin just fine.
I have scheduled many shows to record (with the default guide)
When I view XRecord, the Conflicts button is red.
when I select Conflicts, I get an error popup and I am returned to the main menu.
The error reads: Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any help on how to fix this, or configure it correctly?
(below are screenshots of the error and my zipped up LOGS folder)

I have a wintv-pvr 150 with v.099.12. On some of my scheduled recordings, my audio is completly distorted beyond listening to. My video is fine, just the audio. If i copy the recording to another pc and listen to it in windows media player, it does the same thing. It doesn't happen everytime though, just random. If i do a quick record, works fine. Any suggestions? Thanks

On a Vista Business 32 bit system running WMP v.11.0.6000.6324 (!) when I play dvr-ms files created by GB-PVR v0.99.12 on another computer running XP sp2 I get sound but no picture. Any ideas? TIA

Greetings

I have some logs that never are used it seems.

I've attached a listing of my logs directory.

it seems that it's the

GBPVRTray.exe.log
GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log

logs that never get populated. Anyone know why ?

I had GBpvr running well but unfortunately had to restore the contents of my hard drive. I tried gbpvr after the restore and get sound but only get a picture for a split second then just a grey/black, but i do get a picture in the little preview window in the channel mapping scan window. I can get a picture with the dreaded pinnacle software! I have tried reinstalling gbpvr. Any help would be most welcome please

I've posted this on dragonglobal for a while now but have had no response and i know you guys are more active with this software.

I'm trying to get DirMon on one pc to automatically encode files created on another pc running GBPVR using the following script:

-i %BASENAME% -ab 224 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1400k -aspect 16:9 -s 600x338 %BASENAME%.avi

The following is a sample from the activity log:
2007-May-09 22:03:02 - Starting: "divx encoding" on "//Dell/recordings/Hairy Bikers Ride Again/Hairy Bikers Ride Again_20070419_20002030.mpg"
2007-May-09 22:03:08 - Processor done due to event.

It's seeing the files but not processing the files.
I know the script works in an auto-transcode process in GBPVR
Am i missing a simple point here?

Hi,

Having read hundreds of posts over the past couple of weeks I've still been unable to resolve a stutter viewing live TV either as live or as time shift. I have found that this stutter only occurs when the MVP is powered up.

System Detail.

Asus M2NPV-VM
AMD x2 3800 AM2 EE
1GB PC6400 (2x512)
Onboard Nvdia 6150 using 720p Component output to LCD
WinTV Nova-t 500 dual PCI tuner
WinTV Nova-t USB v3 tuner
250GB SATA system and media TV
400GB SATA media drive.

The other main use of this system is that it monitors a couple of CCTV cameras with a Geovision GV250 PCI security capture card and software. System requirements for this card are low and I can watch live TV with the security cameras running and the CPU usage hovers around 20%. This is split fairly evenly across both cores.

While recording 2 programs and viewing a third live Usage is peaks at 70% distributed evenly across the cores.

The MVP is wired via a 100mps router which also provides broadband and DCHP services. Reviewing the network log, a spike occurs every 5 or so seconds whenever the MVP is powered up. I figure that this is performing an image refresh or so as the GBPVR software shows on the TV connected to the MVP.

The stutter occurs at approx the same frequency and unplugging the network cable or turning off the MVP immediately stops it occurring.

The only thing that helped was changing the MVP priority switch in Config.xml to False so that the service runs as 'normal' vs. 'abovenormal'

Other things I've tried....

The network fix in the Wiki to enable off CPU processing of network commands

Defragging

Using a separate drive to record live TV

Different versions of the Mux, 5 or so Cyberlink, Ati, interview, Microsoft. Have sync issues with some versions but most are fine. I even have batch files for changing Muxes now so that I only have one version registered at a time.

Different version of the MVP dongle including the new beta Hau and an older 1.5 version posted by a different user.

Switching to the Nvidia Pure Video decoder.

I'm beginning to think that the only option is start working through the excess services on the system however before I do that I'd like to know if 99.12 is particularly prone to this issue and if so if an earlier version may be less susceptible to the stutter.

I've read that the 98.13 version performs better with the MVP. If I was to reinstall the earlier version, is it possible to retain the tuner config files and the recorded programs. I have a fair bit of TV to catch up on and it took quite a bit of time to get all the stations correctly tuned as here in the UK channels broadcast in different time slots.

Any help gratefully received.

Regards

I have a Lifeview TV Walker Ultra and installed GBPVR. However, I don't know how to setup the TV Channels and I can't do it using the Tuning Assistant. Can anyone tell me how to get it works? I am living in Hong Kong and the Tuning Assistant don't have my country settings also.

Thanks!

Is there anyway to get in one file, page or sticky the steps and files required to get the OnAir GT to work with QAM in GB-PVR? There is a thread dealing with it but it meanders to and fro, logs exchanged and links posted but it's not what I would call definative

Hi I'm playing around again and well the setting in the configuration xml file for sony psp is not taking full advantage of the new firmware or the better compression of h264 I think
<Conversion name="Sony PSP" cmd="-y -i {SOURCE_FILE} -title {TITLE_SUBTITLE} -f psp -r 29.97 -s 368x208 -b 768 -ar 24000 -ab 32 {DEST_FILE}" targetExtension=".mp4" />

Now is there anyway to edit this that it does the smaller file sizes of the h264 codec as well as the increased resolution of the new firmware 3.30 or better regular and 3.03oe-x for the homebrew firmware.
I tried editing just the resolution settings and it just crashed on me

like this
<Conversion name="Wide PSP" cmd="-y -i {SOURCE_FILE} -title {TITLE_SUBTITLE} -f psp -r 29.97 -s 480x272 -b 768 -ar 24000 -ab 32 {DEST_FILE}" targetExtension=".mp4" /> (crashes dun work)
PSP9Video has a profile that is avc 480x272 768 kbps variable bitrate as far as I can tell min is 0 max is 4000 and keyframe interval is 250 that gets better quality while staying about the same file size 1hr= about 380 to 390 mb

Let me know
