My problems all stared last night when my missus accidentally leaned on the b/tooth keyboard whilst watching a divx movie through an older version of gbpvr. I dont know what she pressed, but it really buggered up the sound of watching videos through gbpvr - music sounded fine.
Anyway, I checked the usual volume controls and nothing was obviously wrong, so I went about uninstalling ac3filter etc, but no improvement. I figured something must be wrong with gbpvr, so uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version - still I had the audio problem... After doing quite a bit of searching, I found the registry volume fix (well deleting the last volume), and the audio was fixed!
Whilst checking out the latest gbpvr software, I tried to test the livetv function, but I got a blank screen. I've only got Sky TV as a tv service (no external arial), so I've set this up in the config with the following settings:
Having a problem with the HVR 1600. I have ATSC working, but I can't get the analog working.
Since I installed the 1600 this morning, when I check the "only show devices detected in this machine", GBPVR is now showing HVR 1600 Analog, HVR 1500MCE Analog, and the PVR150 (the other card in the machine) in the config app. I've tried to setup the 1600 analog and 1500MCE analog, but I get a blank black screen in GBPVR for both. I also tried the tuning assistant, it works with the 1600, so I'm not sure why I can't get it to work in GBPVR.
Using 99.5 right now, I'll be upgrading to 99.12 this afternoon to try to solve the problem. I've attached the logs. TIA!
First of all, let me say I am very impressed with the product. I've been a user of MCE and MP, and I have to say the ease with which I got gbpvr running was impressive. Now on to my noob questions
1. In MCE while watching a recording I can hit the info button and bring up a menu with which to delete the recording. Or when selecting a recording / video (highlight hit ok) it brings up a small menu t play / delete, etc. GBPVR simply plays it. Is there such a menu available?
2. I cant seem to be able to delete a video / recording. I see the delete menu item, but I like to have icon / folder view instead of a list view. In list view I can highlight the video and move left and hit delete. In folder / icon view I can't get back to the delete button while maintaining the correct selection.
3. Sometimes while watching tv I end up back at the main menu (by pressing something wrong on the remote), or because I wanted to switch to another panel briefly. If I click on the small window where my show is playing with the mouse it switches back to full screen. However I cant seem to navigate there with the remote.
4. Finally, is there a way to map the power button on the remote to start / stop GBPVR. Right now it still launches MCE. Hauppauge 45 button remote.
Thanks to all. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I continue to use this.
i think hauppage software has an option to to control the mvp using a mouse from one's computer rather than using the remote. can u do the same w/ gbpvr media server?
Is there a way to prevent the DVD drive from opening? If I select DVD and there is not a disc loaded, the drive tray opens and hits the inside of the glass door on my entertainment center.
The pop-up box is easy to dismiss, but I have to walk across the room to close the DVD tray.
I had several recordings scheduled for Monday night. I confirmed the recording schedule Monday morning through the EWA and later in the afternoon via GBPVR. All looked good. All of the recordings before 8:00 PM worked great but none of the later recordings happened. This is the second time this has occured in the last two weeks. A re-boot seems to clear it up. I have attached the logfiles and would appreciate any suggestions. I am running 99.12, Windows Media Center on a 3 month old Gateway computer.
Hi, I was wondering if this would be possible with the weather plugin.
I would like to only show the weather on the start page via the vapanel, and also to not have the panel download all the maps and other data.
Downloading all the maps and other data causes the weather plugin to use a very large amount of memory. I enjoy seeing the weather on the main screen, but don't want to waste all of my memory with doplar maps and such.
I've got a bit of an odd problem at the moment, and I've been unable to find any solution other than rebooting the MVP every time the problem occurs and reloading the dongle, which is a bit of an inconvenience.
Using the latest GBPVR version and my MVP, randomly when I go to play another video, the video is all stretched on the television, with the edges going off the side, as if the MVP was playing the video in widescreen mode or something (and stretching the video to 16:9, but instead having the sides cut off as my television is 4:3).
One video it is fine, I return to the menu, go to play another, and the picture is stretched with the sides cut off. It's difficult to explain, so I hope this makes sense. The onscreen interface also changes slightly, although not as much - it seems to move over to the left slightly, as the right ends up with a small black bar down the side which isn't there before the problem occurs.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated
