During Live TV of broadcast ATSC HDTV with
5-channel sound, I can't hear all audio channels.

During LiveTV mode, AC3Filter version 1.11 configuration utility
*does* show audio activity on all channels (L,C,R,SL,SR)
but for some reason, I only get two-channel sound playing in GB-PVR.
Nothing comes out of the center or rear channels.

However when I play back the recorded DVR-MS file through GraphEdit
with the same filters (Cyberlink Video SP Decoder, AC3 Filter into
Default Directsound device), I am able to hear all of the channels.

I can also play the same dvr-ms file in GraphEdit using GB-PVRs
"last-graph", and I also hear all of the channels. So the recording
itself is OK. Also, playback through Mediaplayer 9 also gives audio
on all channels.

So it seems like I'm getting the same set of filters inside and outside GB-PVR, but with different results.

Any ideas as to why not all audio channels play on Live-TV or recorded
programs, when played WITHIN GB-PVR?

Thanks
Chris

I have the Config set to:

(Although I have tried several other settings with the same results)

Hi guys

I am new to the world of gbpvr but with years of computer experience I was able to get my new Hauppage 150 working well, and have even managed to get the elusive EPG working here with Sky TV (New Zealand).

The problem im having now is that the IR Blaster will not work, ive tried all sorts of things, the red light is coming on so its not faulty but the Sky decoder box will not even acknowledge the signal. Ive tried all sorts of settings and a couple off apps off the net with no joy.

Has anyone been able to get the IR blasters working with the Sky TV NZ boxes?

Hi,
I'm new to GBPVR and am trying to sort out my installation problems by reading through these forums.

Currently, I can't get the Media Center 2005 Remote Control and Infrared Receiver to work in my XP Pro SP2 GBPVR installation.

GBPVR doesn't respond to the Remote commands, and if I use an Internet Explorer window that's scrollable, it doesn't respond to up and down either. (The Remote, Receiver, and the IE scroll test work fine on another PC with MCE2005 installed. For info, The remote has Model 1039 on the back.)

The XP Pro box has SP2 installed, and I've installed the KB912024 patch and rebooted.

I then plug my IR Receiver into the USB port, and XP automatically detects and installs it - I get the following entries in Device Manager:
- Human Interface Devices (various entries including Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver)
- Universal Serial Bus controllers (eHome Infrared Receiver)

None of these entries has info or error icons.

When I press any button on the remote the red light on the receiver flashes, but neither GBPVR nor Internet Explorer respond.

Has anyone got any other suggestions how to fix this please?

Any advice very much appreciated

Hi,
I've just got gbpvr installed and rearing to go. Ive got a hauppage Nova-T 500 which works fine with the iffy wintv2K app. Ive tried to use the Config to setup the caputure sources, and have ticked the 'only show stuff thats detected' box, successfully finding tuner #1 and #2.

But, when I hit OK, an Info dialog pops up saying 'Restarting GB-PVR Recording Service - please wait...' and then I get a Unhandled Exception...

Seems like a reinstall fixed it, strange, I hadn't tweaked at all.

Well here I go...
- choosing the encoder (ffmpeg/mencoder) does not work (obviously)
- The tab index is not set and when tabbing through the controles the cursor jumps randomly through the fields
- The order of the screens is not logical (for me anyway)
- The installation was a bit difficult to follow and the step-by-step explanation in the wiki was very complex (maybe because I am not a native english speaker?)
- Maybe you should add .avs files to the type you can choose (although you can choose it when selecting all files)
- I could not figure out for sure if zprocess was being called or not, maybe popup a screen that says it is running and show logging in there?
- Use tooltips on every setting, there are a lot of settings and buttons and sometimes it is not transparent what they do.
- Testing of the transcoding should be an entirely separate screen. Now you have the choose the file on a different screen, and that screen is also used for a lot of other functionality.
- I would make the setting of the screen dimensions a popup, because it takes up a lot of space and not everybody needs to use it. Just show the set dimensions on the main screen and with a button you can call the entire screen.

That is it for now... I hope it helps.
Above remarks are of course in my opinion... so maybe others don't have the same experience as I do.

I would like to say, keep up the good work! (And it is good to hear that other people still keep visual basic 6 alive!!)

p.s. Can you post a transcoding line for PAL transcoding for mencoder? Cannot get it to work :confused:

With regards,

Steven

I just upgraded my PVR150's drivers to 2.0.48.24227. I was previously using 2.0.43.24103, but was having some audio issues on 1 channel.

Testing out playing back a recording, I'm seeing a vertical green bar on Ch17 depending on the window size. Anyone know what might cause this? It also appears in the recorded mpeg as well.

Hi,

Please help,

Live TV plays fine, but every recording I make I get no video and only audio.
The files play the same in other players too

The screen is just black.

It used to work fine and I dont know what has happened to it at all.

I uninstalled GBPVR and reinstalled it, correctly configured my Hauppauge HVR1300 and still the same.

HELP!

Here's what I'm hoping to do, and don't know if it's possible...

I set up a GB-PVR machine for my dad a few weeks ago, and we ripped all his CDs onto it so he has access to all his music.

We have it in his "tv" room, and are using a digital coaxial cable to send the audio to the receiver in the room. We're also using a stereo y-adapter to send stereo sound to a different receiver that powers speakers in the rest of the house (where he plays music).

What we'd like to do is be able to watch tv (or recordings, or whatever) in the TV room, and listen to music in the rest of the house. He currently only has one sound card, but getting a second one isn't an issue...

Let me know if you have any suggestions...

Thanks,
-Connor

PeekVid.com has several movies and TV shows that you can have streamed to your computer. If there could be a plugin that would allow us to view these streaming files from within GBPVR it would be very cool. A related post to this request is here.

So here are the events leading up to GBPVR09808 not working:

I was watching some TV using wintv32, I've got a hauppauge pvr usb2. Wintv32, froze on me when I attempted to watch fullscreen.

This has happened quite a few times and I know how to recover without producing the BSOD. I usually let it run a minute or two to let it grind to a complete halt, then end the program in task manager.

I remembered that I had some problems watching live tv in gbpvr. It was just displaying a black screen but audio was there. So, I decided to try to modify the video decoder in gbpvr config not from default or intervid to the intervideo one in the meantime I was letting Wintv32 die.

After I pressed OK to save changes and let gbpvr restart, it gave me a BSOD. When windows finished restarting something was strange, the GB tray icon was the TV instead of the G and the recording status listed capture source
#1 through 8 with Tuner1: being blank.

Attempting to run gbpvr or config brings up a MS.net framework error: Root element is missing.

I tried repairing MS.net framework, removing GBPVR09808 and installing GBPVR09905 to no avail. The same problems still remain.

I'm not using any plugins.
I've included my logs.
Let me know if you need more info.
Please Help.
