I have a borderline ATSC channel that is known to crash the RecordingService (see separate thread if curious).
In order to figure out exactly why the service crashes, Sub would like to get raw TS data at the moment of crash.
My ATSC receiver (AVerTVHD A180 MCE) doesn't come with any TS capture software. I'm taking a look at the Twinhan BDA capture tool to see if it will work with my BDA-compliant card. The Twinhan tool appears to want to issue its own tuning request, not sure if this can coexist peacefully with GB-PVR.
Anybody know of a tool or technique to get this working? Sub says the Transport Stream mux configurable within GB-PVR doesn't save the entire stream, so that is insufficient.
And I purchased a USB2.0 Video Capture Card (DC20M) which provides a MPEG2 video stream to my PC.
I have installed the drivers and can open it as a webcam in from My Computer, so surely it must be possible for GB-PVR to recognise this stream and use it.
I'm having huge problems with AC3Filter (filed at their forum) and wants to replace it. Unfortunately I can't find any other AC3 codec around. Can anyone help me out?
I installed GBPVR about 5 days ago and it is recording fine to my video library. However on the main menu when I click on recordings there are no recordings there. Now when I click on video library the videos are there. The only weird thing about my setup is that I have GBPVR on my C: and am storing my videos on my bigger F (but that doesn't seem to wierd):
Also,
When I installed SlimGBPVR there are now to GBPVR icons in my startup tray. And it always tells me that one card has conflicts. basically the original seems to load at startup and the slimline loads up. My start up on the program folders only shows one as well as the startup in the registry.
I am having a problem with showburner also but I am guessing that might fix itself if I can figure out what is going on.
Othwerise I love the software. If I can get the showburner to work then I will love it more than SageTV or BeyondTV. Also tried Yahoo Go TV and all I have to say is don't waste your time.
i just installed the ati tv wonder 550 and am trying to use gbpvr with it. i set the epg and that works. I use the tuning assistant and that tunes all the cable channels and i can see the picture clearly.
But when i use gbpvr to view the channels I just get color lines no picture but sound. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? I'm using winxp home.:confused:
Hi. I just orderd an Onair GT, with the plan of using it with GBPVR. I have spent the last 6 months trying to get a MyHD to work properly in Xlobby, and I give up! Problem is, I will have a MyHD with nothing to do. I could sell it on Ebay, but I was thinking that I could put it in my main computer, and do some recordings on that machine, but somehow play them back on the HTPC with GBPVR. Is this possible without too much trouble?
I want to get the IR transmitter on my Hauppauge PVR-350 working to control my cable box. I don't know much about IR hardware, so please bear with me. I need to know a few things:
First, there is only one IR port on my card, but it says that it has both a receiver and a transmitter, does the same port do both?
Second, I want to have this control a cable box that is in another room which connects using an MVP, but it is only about 20' away and I don't mind running wires, so is there an extension cable available? (The plug is a minijack type, can I use audio cable)?
Third, where do I set up GB-PVR to use this transmitter? I don't see it in the config anywhere and the manual doesn't have much information...
I'm using 0.99.5.
Live TV mode is ok and I used to be able to timeshift and record (dvr-ms).
Now When try to timeshift, I get one of two results:
1. Timeshift works the first time, but then if I exit timeshift,
then try to timeshift again, I get error message:
Error: object reference not set to an instance of the object
I also noticed that the ".tmp" files and .dvr-ms file in the LiveTV Buffer
directory are not deleted automatically
I have to kill the GBPVRRecordingservice.exe task to unlock these files.
2. SOmetimes, GBPVR hangs, or Crashes completely:
"GBPVRRecordingservice.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience"
and a message:
Failed to communicate with the recording service
Also, I get this message when I try to back to Live TV:
If try to go to Live TV:
Error: no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
I can get back to timeshift working once again, if I end-task all of the
GBPVR processes ,then enter/exit config (which restarts the recording service and Tray).
This is driving me crazy because It used to work.
It seems like the basic timeshift/recording is working
but something is getting messed up and locking the file access.
:mad:
I'm trying to get GB-PVR up and running on my computer. It installs okay. I can access the configuration utility okay. But each time I try to launch the program itself, it crashes before it ever really starts. I get a windows error saying the program must be closed and asking me to send information to MS regarding the error.
File logs are attached.
I am running MCE 05 on a 3.0 Ghtz P4 with 1 GB ram, Nvidia 5700LE video card and SB Audigy SE sound card.
I have disabled MCE services. I do have Beyond TV and Sage TV trials installed.
Can you help? Thanks.
Edit: Forgot my TV Tuner cards: ATI TV Wonder 550 and VBox Cats Eye 150.
I'm using gbpvr and usbuirt0056 Z and a dual ir emmiter with the stereo 1/8th jack and two dish network 301 recievers, in gbpvr I have one box set to use Z1 and the other box to Z2 but only zone 1 works, the only way I can get the other box to work is if I set it to Z3 and blast the room, nothing on Z2, I don't know if it might be a software problem or a driver issue, or hardware, im using uuirtdrv.dll ver#2.6.9.8, the files I'm using to change channels and zones look like this.....
