Sometimes i get this error " Failure playing back file " and then i have to restart gbpvr before i can watch anything. Currently i'm using version 0.98.8b.
I have tried multiple apps and my sound is working fine, but it is not working when i play MP3s, videos, live TV in fact anything through GBPVR. I thought GBPVR uses WMP which I have recently begun to question as I have also seen in the last week a situation where a VOB file can be played by WMP but not via GBPVR, although GBPVR plays other VOB files just fine.
So any ideas what I can try to diagnose the sound issue?
Him im kind of new to the whole GBPVR thing. I am trying to set it up so i can stream live tv on my lap top from my desktop. I have tried searching for a guide on setting up a gbpvr server but couldnt find one. Does anyone have any links,ideas,pointers as far as how to set up the whole client/server with gbpvr and what are all the requirements ( eg plugins etc...) I do have a fully working network in my house and this would be used on my lan between a desktop and a lap top
I had all but banged my head against the wall trying to figure out my problems with GBPVR.. Despite having a decent system, I had all sorts of problems with GBPVR being sluggish, the video badly stuttering just by bringing up the program info or live guide, changing the volume could throw things out of sync, etc..
I saw interesting atapi errors in the Windows system logs, so I checked out the settings for the Primary and Secondary IDE Controllers from Device Manager.. and I discovered in the Advanced Settings tab that the transfer mode was stuck at PIO Mode.. talk about being sluggish! ugh... and Windows doesn't let you change the setting! It gets triggered after so many errors / timeouts.. I suspect mine were because of things crashing and hanging while I experimented with stuff.
Anyway, all you have to do is Uninstall the IDE channel that is stuck in PIO mode, and then restart. Windows will automatically re-install the drivers on startup and everything will be reset back to lovely Ultra DMA Mode..
.. and at least in my case, I *finally* have a very happy silky smooth GBPVR
I managed to setup the DVB-T part of this USB stick as capture card by using the following in bda.ini
[Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro USB]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick Digital TVTuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
(BTW the instructions in the wiki Add New Capture Card are mixed up : FILTER_TUNER and FILTER_CAPTURE should be reversed)
Now I'm stumbling upon the analog setup and the editing of the direct.ini file. I used Graphedit to find the filter names and inserted those in a template Pinnacle :
[Pinnacle Hybrid]
INIT_MODE=DEFAULT
INIT_MSP=0
FILTER_CROSSBAR=PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick Crossbar
FILTER_CAPTURE=PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick Capture
FILTER_TV_TUNER=PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick TVTuner
FILTER_TV_AUDIO=PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick TVAudio
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_TUNER_IN=Video Tuner In
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_VIDEO_OUT=Analog Video
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_AUDIO_OUT=Analog Audio
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_IN=TVAudio In
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_OUT=TVAudio Out
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_TUNER_IN=Audio Tuner In
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_DECODER_OUT=Video Decoder Out
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_VIDEO_IN=Analog Video In
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_DECODER_OUT=Audio Decoder Out
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_AUDIO_IN=Analog Audio In
PIN_CAPTURE_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG Out
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=Input
But the config utility doesn't recognize it and says the device drivers are not installed. After reading various posts I have the feeling that I should modify the PIN definitions, and probably do this by playing with Graphedit. This is really sci-fi to me.
When I try to stream a show, I get an error saying "system cannot find specified file." This happens regardless of using VLC/WMP, and even happens on the localhost.
The relevant portion of the log is shown below...

An interesting note is that this didn't always happen. At first, it would open up the window with the controls on it (although streaming has never worked).... but then (apparently) something changed and now it throws this error.
This is what I get every time I try to use GB PVR. It tells me to update the EPG so I can use this program for the first time, but my roadblock is listed below. I have all of the required software installed as per the website.

I use ComSkip extensivly, and it works great... About 98% of the time.
Sometimes show's have weird things in them that throw ComSkip off.
Is there a way to turn it off on the Fly?
Recently I taped a show, but for one reason or another, the commerical detection was all off. I figured it'd be good to have a way to turn off Comskip for that one playback.
Hello,
I've searched and searched, and I've changed just about every relevant setting in GBPVR, but every time I try to play an .avi or xvid file, GBPVR completely locks up requiring a Ctrl+Alt+Del to get out.
I can play all of these files fine through WMP. This is one of the main functions I've been looking forward to being able to use with a "Media Center" Style program, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I don't have any plugins at all installed except Weather, which I removed for diag purposes.
My system specs should be in my sig. Thanks in advance!!!
Have any of you had success with extending the length of the IR Blaster for these cards? I used to have my cable box near my computer, but now its a lot further away. If I can cut the line and extend it, that would be the easiest fix for me.
