Im not sure if this is the right place for this - but in this version 98.13 ive noticed that if im watching tv and press the tv guide button on my remote i tend to see the main menu screen every 5 seconds - same happens if i move around the tv guide - after each button press it displays the home screen for a split second..

any ideas ? oh and im using the ContourHC skin.

thanks

Hi Guys,

Things are generally well here, but I do have a problem I need help with.

I reformatted my hard drive, reinstalled the OS, and GBPVR version 0.98.13.

Auto commercial skip is not working. The setting in the config file appears to have no effect, enabled or disabled. Commercials never show up in the OSD time line and commercials are never skipped. The transport keys: FORWARD, REVERSE, SKIP FORWARD, and SKIP REVERSE; do not work.

I've attached my log files.

Thanks,
Old Dog

Okay I've got the PVR150 running and it works fine when I've got it plugged into my computer monitor, but when I plug the PVR into my TV through the jacks in the PVR150 I can't see anything on my TV...

Is there something I'm supposed to setup on the tuner card?

How do I get GB-PVR to start automatically when I boot the system?

THanks for any help you can give me

Hello,
I'm sort of new to gbpvr (I tried it awhile back with an ATI Wonder Elite (Theatre 550) and never could get it working right.

Anyway, I have several problems with an ATI 650 setup. First, it records static on the OTA ATSC channels when I try to timeshift. Seems not to tune the channel correctly. Second, look at the jpegs attached and you will see what it looks like when tuned to any atsc channel. The analog cable channels seem to work fairly well but I haven't tried recording them yet.The first two pictures show a previously tuned frozen channel on the bottom with the currently tuned channel (running but in a box within the gbpvr window) on top. Very bizarre behavior.

In config when installing, the scan was able to find every atsc channel in my area, preview them for mapping to EPG and I was able to tune them in and watch on the first run. After restarting the computer, what you see in the pictures has been happening since.

Please have a look and tell what I'm doing wrong!

I really need to get this right since the ATI PVR software is total junk! My machine should have enough horsepower to do this (see below)

Pentium M 750 (stable at 2.13 ghz, benches faster than my P4 Northwood 3.2) installed on an Asus P4P800 SE, using the Asus CT-479 adapter.

1 gig PC3200 RAM

ATI 650 Pro

Several HDD's (7200, 8 meg cache)



Thanks for any help and advice.

Hi folkes,

I've been struggling with my computer for the last 14 days and is now so excursed that I’ am making this post in the hope that one of you could throw me a bone or a good tip, so it's possible to get the picture with sound too :-)

On my old hard drive everything picture and sound worked perfectly.

The problem came after formatting and installing my new sata hard drive everything works perfect, EXCEPT there’s no sound in GB-PVR, and it is only in GB-PVR it's missing. If I play a DVD on the computer from e.g. PowerDVD everything is perfect, if I take the exact same DVD and play it through GB-PVR, the picture is perfect but absolutely no sound. The no sound problem is
everywhere in GB-PVR, Live TV, Recorded TV, DVD and so on.

The system I'am running on is a Pentium 4, 2,4 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 2 X 300 GB SATA Harddrive, ASUS V6600 Deluxe GeForce 256, ASUS P4S800D-X Motherboard, Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500MCE TV-tunercard, running Windows 2000 SP4.
It is a completely new and clean installation of Windows 2000 SP4 I've tried to install GB-PVR 0.98.13 from (GBPVR09813.msi)
The Procedure I used is:

01. Installation of DirectX 9.0c
02. Installation of driver for the TV-tunercard, from '051024_Amity2 2.0.35.23297.PreRelease.zip'
03. Installation of Windows Media Player 9 series
04. Installation of Cyberlink PowerDVD Deluxe Advanced Edition v7.0 Multilingual
05. Installation of Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable (v2) - Danish
06. Installation of Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0
07. Installation of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 SP1
08. Installation of GB-PVR
09. Installation of XMLTV
10. Configurering of GB-PVR

I have tried the trick with holding down the right arrow, still no sound.
The driver I’ am using is exactly the same (Amity2 2.0.35.23297) as last time it worked. I've also tried the latest drivers there seemed to be for windows 2000, '051214 Amity2 2.0.35.23348.3264 (WHQL Signed).zip' but that didn't bring back any sound either.

I also tried clicking "BDA Mux Checker" and saw that it said that there wasn’t any Multiplex filters on the machine, so I installed "InterVideo WinDVD Recorder 5" as it seemed that GB-PVR used it on the old GB-PVR 0.96.8 edition I got it to work with last time it worked.

The PCI slot I got it working with last time is exactly the same as I’ am using now (the card hasn't been moved).

As I've seen in many of the other post's people are getting asked to post their log files so I have included them in this post as well. Both from the first time when I got it working (‘(v0.96.8) GBPVR.exe.log’ and ‘(v0.96.8) GBPVR.exe-native.log’) and now from the current installation where there’s no sound in GB-PVR (‘(v0.98.13) GBPVR.exe.log’ and ‘(v0.98.13) GBPVR.exe-native.log’) .

Yours sincerely and thanks in advance

Hello there,

I just got the latest version of the program installed along with WinDVD 7.

For some reason i prefer to watch my program in another player..for instance windows Media.

And when I do, the image is pretty dark? why is that. When I watch the program in GB-PVR it's fine. How come?

Hello all,

I'd like to tune up my antenna and ampl.
I'd like to watch for signal quality and strength for the channel I select.
I know that gbpvr has live tv signal popup, but I don't know how to get it on my display :confused:

thanks a lot.

p.s. I use OTA ATSC HDTV only.

I just noticed that Sub is about to hit 25000 posts :eek: . I am sure a bunch were to answer many of my dumb questions. I don't know how he does it.

I better type fast or by the time I post this, he will go over the top.

THANKS SUB FOR ALL THE HELP AND THE GREAT SOFTWARE And a better way to play with the TV and computer!

I just installed this software, but am having problems getting it to function. Are there default settings for the Hauppauge PVR-150. I don't see this listed in any of the config screens. Admittedly, I'm not real sure what many of these settins should be.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I have the Hauppauge 45 button remote set up in GB PVR and Hip, and it works fine, until I go to Live TV. Then none of the buttons work (despite still being recieved by the IR Reciever). Only thing that fixes it seems to be a restart of windows. I'm running GB-PVR 98.13b and Hip v3.0.1.11. Thanks in advance for the help!
