I always wanted to use my TwinHan BDA device directly from GPBVR. Thanks to Sub and the latest patches that allows to scan channles, I am able to use both my PVr350 and TwinHan 102g.

The problem is that I am unable to use the DVB EPG stream and I tried to use a smaller set of channels from zap2it.

So on the 350 I have zap2it and on the Twinhan I also have zap2it. They get their channels from different profiles so that the 350 has many more channels than the Twinhan.

However, if the channel name is the same on both sources, then when I do en EPG update, channesl that have the same name get "Combined" into one so the EPG listing only shows either the 350 or the Twinhan, but not both.

At this point, I have the Twinhan without epg.

Is there any way to tell the EPG update to look at the capture source and treat them as separate channels, even though they have the same name ?

Hi All,

Thank you so much for your support over the last week or so.
I almost have everything working and can record video with all 3 of my tuners (See HW and SW below). However, I am experiencing some unusual performance with live TV and occational error codes.

A. Watching Live TV
When selecting live TV using either analog or digital tuners it takes over 25 seconds initally to tune to the station. Sometimes it takes much longer. Once the station is tuned, changing channels is fast. Recording and then watching the station while recording works just fine and is almost instantanious. Before yesterday, I only had the Emuzed card installed and live TV tuned very quickly. Note, no stations show up in the preview window for GB-PVR - if that is a preview window. All cards work with software provided
in the box.


B. Error Conditions and Codes:
1. While setting this system up, I initally added (in the configuration menu) the Hauppauge PVR 250 and then the Emuzed card. Running GB-PVR resulted in an Error Code when selecting live TV. (Wouldn't work) Switching the order that I added the cards to Emuzed first then Hauppauge eliminated the error. But tunning is slow. Adding the OnAir doesn't change anything and the OnAir seems to work.

Error Codes received include:
Unhandled Exception Error (and) Atempted to Read or Write to protected Memory I recieved one more error when the order of the cards was different but forgot to write it down.

Conclusion: I have attached all logs I could find. Not sure which ones are important. I am happy to look into other items.

Cheers,
Ben Gannon

P.S. I am very excited because things seem to almost be working. Sub, if we can find a way to get this working I am sending you a donation!!!

Not sure if this shoud land in "support" or "hardware" please move if its the wong forum.

Hi Sub,

just upgraded and tried the YouTube plugin. A couple of things:

1. I get an "active window" when using overlay. The video works fine in VMR9. The logs should show this.

2. When I enter a null search string GBPVR gives an error and GBPVR no longer

My family really like this plugin. Is it possible however to keep the downloaded file in a YouTube directory so that we don't have to wait for downloads all the time? Allowing for background downloads would be good as well - at least have a cancel button when it's downloading.

That's it for now.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I have a slightly annoying problem with losing AV sync. when playing back recordings from Film4 on my MVP.

It's only slightly annoying in that if I FF/RW several times, I can get the AV to sync. and it stays that way until I FF or Skip an advert. In many cases, I'll lose sync. again and I have to do some more FF/RW juggling to get it back.

This is the only digital channel where I see this problem. I've looked at the stream info and it shows as...

Video: MPEG2, 15Mbs, 720 x 576i
Audio: MPEG1, 160kbps, 48Khz

Looking at BBC Three (which I record often and has solid AV sync. on the MVP), it shows...

Video: MPEG2, 6.5Mbps, 720 x 576i
Audio: MPEG1, 256Kbps, 48Khz

All digital recordings on my machine are recorded to dvr-ms then auto-converted ASAP to mpeg2.

Any ideas where the problem is being introduced? Could it be the dvr-ms -> mpeg2 transcode or the Transcode2MVP stage (or both). Is it worth trying a different version of the Cyberlink mux for the auto-transcode stage?

Cheers,
Brian

I've just taken the plunge and upgraded from 95.10 to latest version (99.05) and because MyVideos isn't being developed any more I had to look for a plugin to replace that (MyVideos my main way of organising videos - not recordings) and I'm trying video archive.

However once I went into Videos I'm just presented with a blank couple of panes and a dancing egg timer over a couple of figures (I think it says 19/05 at the moment). Now although I can see that the second figure appears to be increasing every few minutes I have no idea what it is doing or whether it is working properly (I've been sat here for about 15 minutes now).

Before starting GBPVR I disabled the follow Video Archive options:

• Auto-featch information from the internet for new recordings
  
• Scan for files on each startup
  

Hi,

I've been using my MVP with gbpvr and Zprocces to watch movies on my tv for ages. It's amazing that this software is available whilst Hauppage sit on their fat asses doing sweet FA.

I upgraded to the latest version of gbpvr and Zproccess with no problems but recently I've noticed that my movies start to break up and now they are stutter all the time!

I suspect a network problem or a fault with my MVP. Is there anyway to test the various parts of my network? I have my PC connected to a Net gear router and I ideally want some software or diagnostic utility that will tell me what the various ports on the router are connecting at so I can confirm the what the MVP and PC are connecting at 100mbps.

Any ideas?

Hi All,
Now that I my OnAir GT with my Emuse card I receive an "Attempted to read or write protected memory error" whenever I watch live tv. I can play previously recored items but live TV doesn't work. Looking for suggestions?

Thank you,
Ben

Ever since 98.13, my machine started crashing whenever there is signal loss from my antenna for OTA programming. Signal variations are commmon for me, and the crashes are happening more and more. When this happens, my machine reboots (similar to a sudden power loss), and I lose whatever I was trying to watch or record.

Windows log viewer indicates an issue with psiparser.ax, I asked Sub for help but he was not able to diagnose the issue. I am asking if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue, or if there is a way for me to do a more detailed troubleshooting in addition to reviewing the logs. GBPVR logs do not indicate a problem.

It does not appear to be a HW issue because of the psiparser.ax log error entry in windows logs. Your help is greatly appreciated, I hate to go back to an earlier release.

Any plans to allow this?

Good Morning All.

When watching a DVD I have to turn up the sound all the way to just barely here it. when going to live TV the sound then blasts. I noticed in the sound settings of the computer that the DVD appears to use WAVE...so if I turn that up the DVD volume is fine until the next time I watch Live TV then the WAVE setting turns down again. I have the Config set to use Master Volume, although changing it to local volume doesn't seem to matter.

BTW: What is the actual difference between the two settings?

Thanks!
