Hi.

I connected my Pc to my Plasma and want to useGBPVR as my media center

I dont have and PVR but i just want to use it as media center.

Till now i used ZOOMPLAYER which worked perfect.

GBPVER works perfect also but.. HD movies have brakes.

The picture stills for half a sec (the sound also) then it continous.

With zoom player this dosent happen.

I watched a 720P MKV file.

My system is P4 2.8G D with 512MB of ram and ATI 1300.
should do the job ok (its 720P)

And zoom player surly doest it ok.

so what do i do wrong? as MPEG decoder i chose System defult, any suggestions?

thanks and bye.

Stemming from a previous problem:

I think I almost have it!

Question:
I have (2) 150 turners. One is connected via Svideo from a STB and the other is a straight COAX from a splitter.

When I go and define what type of channel changer under GBPVR config do i denfine both channel changers the same?
As of right now i have it setup for .exe channel changer for the STB, and for the COAX connection, I have the MCE2005 IR BLASTER.
Is this correct or should the both be set to .exe channel changer?

Thanks guys

The below was to be my post but I have since rectified the issue with record/playback via multiple devices. Don't ask me how :confused:

This is for historical reference to my next post/issue which will follow shortly.



Firstly, I have searched the various threads & Wikipedia to no avail for any satisfactory answers.

I had a perfectly working single 150MCE tuner system. Today I bought & installed a second, identical card. I installed it using the same drivers' set as the first. There are no conflicts or IRQ issues.

After installation I had no sound from the 2nd card. I verified this by reconfiguring the channels so some were on the first, & others on the second one. I removed both cards from GBPVR config & redid them. This solved the sound issue.

However, I am unable to use LiveTV if I am recording; it comes up with the usual 'there are no available tuners, yada yada ya'. I can record using both cards & then if I try LiveTV, it gives me the option of watching either of the recording programmes. Also, the tray icon verifies both devices are recording.

When I set update EPG (grabbed using XMLTVNZ.exe) from within gbpvr app it will only update the first device which leaves an entire set of channels vacant in the TV Guide screen -see below. This also adds an extra set of channels to one of the devices (device #2); ie. I have extra copies of all channels showing in the channels' setup area of Device #2 of the capture sources tab of gbpvr config -see below.

Can I remove the duplicate channels from displaying from within the TV Guide? I have tried manually removing them from the channels tab within gbpvr config with no success. I have tried unchecking the enable box within the edit capture source but that will make the device disappear using gbpvr.

I have just finished a dual record from separate channels with no success: the first recording is good; the second one is just static. I have tried scrolling through all the channels in gbpvr & a couple do show just static (I have since rectified this). I entered LiveTV & tried removing the aerials on the various channels, but I assume it would be using the same device for all channels unless it is required for same-time recording or recording/LiveTV. What am I doing wrong :confused: FIXED.

What does that zip file listed in the survival guide do for DishNetowrk users?

No description of what it does, even if you download, there is no readme file.

Can someone please clarify what does it do?
(I am a DishNetwork customer, but my system works fine as far as I know for the most part).

When a TV that is hooked to the mvp's scart interface is powered off are the audio channels on the interface still active or is the whole interface powered down automatically? For example can streaming internet radio play while the tv is off?

I have a Haup 150 PVR [non mce]. I also have a Directv box that I just got today..

Now onto the problem. I set up the box... hooked it up to the PVR card and I got snow.. okay... seems that the PVR card doesn't work [can't see tv] until I fire up the program that came with that to watch tv and it changes the PVR channel back to 3.

I'm sure someone has had this problem. I attempted to record something and alas I recorded 10 minutes of snow... for some reason when I shut the App that came with the TV card off the picture changes back to snow... is there a way to lock the PVR card to channel 3 so it will record for me?

Another question... I have set this up as such:
Sat line from the dish into the Directv box
From the box I have hooked the S video to my tv
and from the cable output I hooked to the PVR card

Is that correct?

Next question... am I locked into just recording what I have on or is there a program that will change the channel on the Sat box to record correctly? I know I'm doing something wrong here..but I have done nothing but think about this for over an hour and I think I've "over thought" the problem to the point that I'm now totally confused.

Thanks

I have a regular 4:3 format tv, and GBPVR recordings play fine, but for DVD's that I've converted to XVID AVI's (576x320 resolution) they play a little squashed. If I play the same
AVI's in WMP, they display properly. If I change the tv format setting to 16:9 in the GBPVR config, they'll play fine, but then the recorded tv shows are squished.

Here's a comparison of two samples of the same movie:
http://www.mikepearce.us/gbpvr_sample.jpg

The movie on GBPVR is playing at about 3/4 the height of what it should be.

Anybody else have the same problem? Any idea how to get GBPVR to ignore the aspect ratio so they'll play normally?

Hi,

I have built a dedicated server for GBPVR and I'm using multiple MVPs with MusicLibrary2. If more than one MVP is powered on when the time for a daily DB update occurs then one of the GBPVR MediaMVPserver instances generates a .NET error complaining that it can't access the config.xml file. (I assume that's because it's clashing with another instance of MusicLibrary2 trying to do the same)

The error halts that process instance and effectively prevents the attached MVP from working properly until the error is cleared on my GBPVR server :mad: .

Have you experienced this problem before?

Regards,

Ray.

Hello,

This is a great program. When I read that it could be used as client/server setup i was very pleased (especially since sub has made it painless by including the option in the config). For the most part the software is working great for me...much better than the wintv2000 software that came with my HVR-950 tuner. The one problem I keep having, even after scouring the forums and trying different things to fix the problem, is LiveTV in client mode. When I select live tv it "starts timeshift" then eventually dumps me to the gbpvr start screen with "Error: Failure playing back file". I believe I have both read and write privilege to the target folder (and I am using file sharing mode). Couple of other notes...LiveTV works great when I have the tuner attached to my client machine (and obviously then i have client mode disabled), and I am able to view recordings great when I am in client mode.

Any ideas? I have attached my log files.

Thanks to sub for his excellent work on this program!

Folks,

Has anyone got the Remote Control eye from the Silverstone cases to work directly with GBPVR ? or is the my next development project ?

I've still driving my GBPVR with the Hauppauge IR sitting on the top of the case or have I missed something ?

Thanks
