My 5 year old decided to 'fix' the puter today. :eek: He hit a bunch of keys on the keyboard and now I have no audio. I can get the FM to play through my system, using the Hauppauge PVR500, but not live tv or recordings of any kind.
I have just installed the GB-PVR v0.99.5 I have XP Pro SP2 and a Hauppauge WinTV PVR500 MCE. When I go to the configuration of the GB-PVR under the Playback tab for Hardware Decoder device I do not have the option of selecting My WinTV PVR 500 MCE. This is what I want to have. It allows for the decoding on the card so as to free up memory and processor loads from the pc. However since I can not select this it wants to use a software decoder which is the System default. This does not work I get no Picture. How do I configure the Playback settings of GB-PVR to use my WinTV PVR 500MCE? Any help would be great.
I have been experiencing a freezing of what is displayed on the TV ever since I upgraded to 99.5 & adopted the community skin (which I really enjoy). That is, neither the remote nor the keyboard\mouse can change the screen dsiplay; the only thing that works is logging off the profile and then logging back on windows (switch user and then select the same user also works). I reverted to the blue skin and the freezing stops so I conclude it is something to do with the community skin. Is it possible that some of the choices in the community skin won't work for every system (i.e, some are MCE only choices, some are MVP choices, etc.)? I have a PVR-150 and only one tv attached to the computer.
With any luck, my logs for gbpvr and for the community skin are attached. Is there anything in particular in the logs that I should have looked for first?
As much as I enjoy the background picture of the lake, I am switching back to blue for now so I am in no hurry.
I am going to supplement my existing 150 with this WinTV-HVR-1600. Does or will GBPVR support this multi tuner card? I am in the US looking to add the ability to record OTA HD in addition to my currently ability to record via the svideo input on my 150.
Happening more frequently now, just now and again, recording fine, then my pc crashes, restarts and the recording resumes. Cannot think of any change that would have caused this.
Can a Hauppauge PVR150 remote cable be altered to have 2 receptor "eyes"?
I attempted it over the weekend, but the 2nd eye I spliced in doesn't work. I was able to splice in an extension and a 2nd eye. The original eye still works fine, but the one I added doesn't.
Here is the problem:
I have the DVR setup to run between 2 TVs, using a S-video switch. The TVs are in different rooms, I have a "hole" in the wall where I connect the cables to our living room TV. The other TV is on the other side of the wall in the computer room, with the DVR.
I wanted to be able to use the same remote for both TVs.
I'm thinking the best solution now would be to get another capture card w/remote and just use this other remote in the other room.. A good excuse to expand to another capture card too. But I'm assuming it would have to be a brand other than Hauppauge or the drivers might get confused.
It might be that my splice job wasn't good enough. The cable is comprised of 3 separate wires and they are very small and brittle so I couldn't twist them together or use wire nuts like I wanted to.
I haven't got a chance to get gb-pvr installed on the second machine yet, so I'm asking if anybody's done this. Here's the scenario:
I have two machines with hardware encoders (a pvr-250 and pvr-150mce), one in the office, one in the family room entertainment center. I used to have both encoder cards in the family room, but due to an old tv finally kicking the bucket, I put one in the office so I could watch live tv in there. Occasionally I need to record two things at once, so I can do one on each pc, but then I'll want to be able to see the media files from both.
I am still running an older version (maybe since late 2004), and no complains so far (was down for a few months due to basement finishing ...etc., but now is up and running again).
Any good reason to upgrade?
Did I miss a LOT of version releases since 2004?
I am afraid to upgrade because now I need .NET 2.0, which requires WinXP SP2 (I think), which I am reluctant to download.
I am afraid to break my system.
I wish people would not post support question without having searched the forums extensively. I see the same questions over and over. Iâve pretty much managed to fix all my issues by checking out what other people have done first (and have even been able to assist others in my humble way from what Iâve learnt).
I understand some people experience problems no one has seen before - but where can I download this mux, my video stutters, my sound is out of sync, etc.. how many times is this asked and answered??
