I am currently at work so I cannot attach the log files, but can goof off some
I followed the setup instruction provided on these forums, and opened up the ports required. My setup consists of a server (also is used to watch Live TV downstairs). This computer is a T2600 CPU, 1GB Ram, 1TB Raid 0 HDD, PNY 7900gs 256MB. The tuner cards I am using are the AVerMedia M780 (I added the card with graphedit works AWESOME!), and the Hauppauge HVR-1600. My client Machine is a 3800x2 AM2, 1GB Ram, 200 GB HDD, 7600gs 256MB Video card. I am connected via a 100mb LAN.
My problem is that whenever I try to access live tv from my client I get the Unable to communicate with recording service. I try setting up a recording and get an error on the client machine, but the server with record the show. I am able to watch the shows I have recorded and the ones set up in the Video folders. I checked my firewall and it shows that a connection is being made but no data is going through. I tried the DVR-MS Mux and Cyberlink Mux. I have tried in streaming mode and file sharing mode. I have tried both the SnapStream decoder and the NVIDIA decoder. Any ideas? Neither the ATSC or regular Analog will play in LiveTV mode (I have unselected the live preview mode).
After I installed a Nova-T capture card I have got at strange problem in the TV Guide. When I want to move from one block to the next I must click the arrow four times.
1. Click - the white frame around the block moves as expected.
2. Click - nothing happens
3. Click - nothing happens
4. Click - the block turns green
The problem does not apply the cannels which have been imported with XMLTV.
my list of recordings has grown quite large, and i often find myself using the webadmin to schedule/manage recordings (locally or remotely).
because i have so many, i use the "tree view" for managing recordings, i was wondering if the possibility to "expand/collapse all" would be added. or perhaps just allow the user to choose the default if that's not possible.
why, you ask?
i use the tree view because the table view is page upon pages long. the tree view condenses this a lot more and i find it to be easier to manage, however, the tree view also starts partially expanded, which still takes up a good amount of scroll-space.
I was reading various posts about video cards and there's a lot of info.
I was hoping someone could let me know if my current video card is sufficient or would I have to updgrade.
It's a Sapphire Radeon X300SE (PCIe).
If I have to upgrade, which is recommended so that I can avoid video problems and play HD if I wanted? If I have to buy a new card, I'd want something that works with digital cable boxes and could play HD if desired.
Also, is there any difference on whether you choose ATI or Nvidia? Of those two, which is the minimum needed to play HD?
I was thinking of the ATI 1950 or Nvidia 7600GT. It would be purely for video playback, DVDs, recording etc.
I ve just started using GBPVR, and is looking good, however I am having problems withthe TV Guide (DVB) I cant navigate horizontally using the arrow keys ( or my mce remote for that matter). I can therefore only schedule a programme to record by using a mouse. How can I fix this?
Also when I navigate ( only vertically at the moment!) the contrast between the selected pane and the others is poor so cant see what Ive got, can I change the colour? Ive tried other skins, but they all muck up the video display.
So, I basically have two hybrid cards, each one capable of tuning ATSC or NTSC video. Since I have to set up each card as two sources (one for ATSC and one for NTSC) I'm worried that gbpvr will try to access the other tuning method of a card while it is recording... any thoughts anybody?
Ideally I would love to have a setting somewhere where I can set two sources to be "mutually exclusive" so that when one is in use the other one doesn't get used. Is there something like this built into gbpvr or is there a plugin available that does this?
Can anyone recommend a good hard drive for using with gbpvr? Does it even matter?
Is there any specs to look for and also, does it matter if it's IDE or SATA?
As for brands, I was thinking of Hitachi or Samsung but I was mostly wondering if it matters if it's IDE or SATA and if there are any issues with either.
My current hard drive is SATA but there is lots of data on it and I am using Windows 2000. I have an unused copy of XP and I was thinking of using it and changing the current drive to another computer.
I'm just concerned about what I might do if I start messing around with pvr software, drivers, DVD convertor programs (for burning DVDs), dvd authoring, watching videos/dvds, etc. etc. It might be easier to have two computers going but if you see any way of using 2K or using the other drive with the same computer, then that would be great. I just don't see how I can use both drives when each one would be using a different OS. Also, perhaps, you run into fewer problems when using XP rather than 2000 but someone could confirm whether that's accurate or not.
But, assuming I use two computers or have two operating systems in one configuration or the other, which hard drives would you recommend? Also, I was thinking of trying to get the largest storage capacity I can afford. Is 320 GB enough?
Any ideas? I appreciate all suggestions and advice. I'm shopping for a drive anyway.
