Hi,

I just came across gbpvr and decided to give it a shot. I spent a few hours trying to set it up, but unfortunately i am having a few issues i can't fix.

1) I cannot watch LIVE TV. In config under "Hardware decoder device" it does not list my Hauppage 150 but it lists a 350. I tried to uninstall and reinstall ==> no change. I ran the tuning assistant and it detected my channel 3 for the satellite box, but I have just no clear channel.

2) I downloaded the EPG datas for 13 days and it seemed to be very slow when i wanted to look at the EPG. Is this normal ? Shall I use a smaller number of days ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I installed the xdvd plugin and I get:

Error:An OLE DB provider was not specified in the ConnectionString. An example would be, 'Provider=SQLOEDB;,.

Does anybody have any ideas what I did wrong?

Thanks,

For some reason, everday, for the past two weeks Windows gets some conflict with GBPVR in the middle of the night. GBPVR still runs and records, however a windows pop-up is there telling me it has to shut down GBpvr. So I shut down and restart.

I thought it first had something to do with power managment as I employed Cool n' Quite about hte same time. I've disabled this and still get the error.

I think it may have something to do with weather plugin as it started giving me errors about the same time. I disabled the plugin in config.exe, but from the logs it looks as though it's still trying to do something. Being an ME not a CE the XML stuff hurts my brain after a while. Could someone take a look and offer some suggestions?

Thanks again,
murph.

I've noticed that Hauppauge's change logs for their dongles list updated firmware versions. For example:

05/05/06 3.2.24125b Aaron Ho 1.Update firmware to 1.1.42

04/20/06 3.2.24110b Aaron Ho 1.Support OSD in client function.
2.Update firmware to 1.1.41

04/05/06 3.1.24088 Aaron Ho 1.Update firmware to 1.1.38

03/24/06 3.0.24088 Aaron Ho 1.Update firmware to 1.1.36


However, whenever I install these new versions, and load the Hauppauge software, the Server Selection screen on my MVP continues to ALWAYS show version 1.1.38.

Has anyone else out there been able to get their MVP to load the new firmware versions? (1.1.41 or 1.1.42, for example)?

Is this possible or are these firmware versions read-only?

Thanks,
Dan

After I stop an AVI file from playing(from Video Library pluggin), the screen goes black and will not return to the previous menu screen. Attached are the loggs. I am using the latest build, but it happened with the version prior also. Note, it works fine through the wMVP though. ISO and mpeg files work fine as well. I even stopped the MVP server and it is still happenening. Anyone have any ideas?

Every other time I change channels in GB-PVR while watching live TV, GB-PVR changes the channel and then automatically exits live TV and dumps me out to the GB-PVR frontend menu. I can then select the "Live TV" button and get back to live TV, but this is extremely annoying. This occurs while both changing the channel through the program guide and manually entering channel numbers.

I'm using an Actisys IR200L to change a Dish Network receiver, for what it's worth, and running 0.98.13.

Any ideas on what could be going on here?

It would be nice to see the ability to change to four digit channels in GB-PVR added in. The lack of this functionality in GB-PVR disables a sizable chunk of channels on Dish Network.

Problem: After comskip finishes on a recording, the recording only displays a black screen when played via the "Recordings" section. If the recording is played via the "Video Library" section, the recording displays correctly. All recordings from prior version display correctly when played in the Recordings section.


Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm a new GBPVR user. I just bought a new Hauppauge PVR-150 card (standard version with the latest 43 key remote and ir receiver that plugs into the back of the PVR-150).

I can use the remote just fine with ir.exe running. But I want to use the remote directly since I'm running a dual screen configuration and GBPVR won't have focus most of the time.

I followed instructions and tried every combination that I can think of: stopped ir.exe, restarted gbpvr, set the DirectRemoteAccess setting, tried various remote types. But nothing works.

I'm an experienced embedded software developer: so I'm ready to do some debugging. I just need some tools and pointers.

Thanks!
Bert

I'm not sure if this is since 98.13, but tonight I got some very odd behaviour in the EPG, concerning scrolling. I have never seen it before.

I only have 6 channels (by choice). The all fit on the EPG in one hit. Normally I scroll down from top to bottom and it stops at the bottom. I like that. If I go up it stops at the top, I like that too.

Tonight, twice, when I turned on my MVP, and scrolled down to a channel, I found it would keep going and showed the top channel again, i.e. I now have SEVEN channels, with top and bottom the same and not only that the darn thing scrolled (and "rolled") the channels around like a never-ending loop.

Did I press a button on the remote to make it do this accidentally? If so how do I turn it off, I'm not that keen on it... :-)
