just got gbpvr to work and tuned in the channels
but only around half of the channels can be found
can find all the itv and channel 4 channels but no bbc etc
i have a pci kworld dvb digital tuner and using dvb plus i can find all the channels
gb pvr finds this tuner and the mendip transmitter which is correct
it scans 57 times but keeps repeating the same channels every time
anyone have any ideas why, or please post if more info is needed
I've come across some strange scanning issues with the Terratec dual-tuner card. Channel scanning seems to be a hit-or miss issue, even with the latest drivers from Terratec (1.0.3.260 -- supposed to clean up some issues in Germany).
Strangely enough, both Terratec's own application as well as Microsoft Vista's (RC1 5600) Media Center application are able to scan perfectly and reliably with these BDA drivers.
The scan is unreliable in that sometimes I get the channel names found reliably, but often the names are missing (Unknown1-x) or channels in a bouquet are missed. It seems to be that the problem exists at bouquet level in that I never get partially okay scans -- either the bouquet is okay or trouble.
I have uploaded the files -- scan-1 is a bad scan, scan-2 is what it should look like, and the setup log file.
some broadcasts in germany are in "native" 16:9 (pal-plus). watch
or record such a broadcast dont really work (see attached screenshot).
sometimes a scheduled recording may not stop recording (gbpvrrecordingservice records without ending but the file dont
grow after some time).
specially this is a problem with commercials. the movie is in native 16:9,
the commercial comes in 4:3 then back to the movie again 16:9......
Whenever a user tries to leave timeshift mode (since that's not unlikely to be an inadvertent request), he should be prompted. Or that should be an option.
I am running both the new release and IE 7 beta 3 on my system, and came up against the user context issues that you report in your sticky post.
I changed the user context that runs the GBPVR service to an administrator-level user instead of "local system" but still come across the postprocessing issues.
Strangely enough, I don't see any error messages in the log files that GBPVR was unable to start successfully the batch file.
I've been using GBPVR for a while now, but I recently reformated the computer because everyone knows how Windows is. My harddrive was fragmented beyond repair. I now have scheduled tasks to run Windows Defragmenter twice per week on the recordings partition, and once per week on the Windows partition. I also have a scheduled task of restarting the computer once per week to keep everything fresh. This brings me to my question:
My version of GBPVR is 0.98.8b
1) There has been a (or several) new release since the one I had installed before. I now noticed that Timeshift Mode starts automatically when I watch LiveTV. This feature is a waste of system resources for me, and I don't want it to turn on when I start watching LiveTV. Timeshift mode makes the computer act slower, makes channel changing slower, etc. I want it to be like before when if I wanted to pause a show, all I had to do was press Pause and it would start timeshift, then I would press pause again to pause the show.
2) I notice that when I'm watching LiveTV and I press "Menu" on my MCE remote, it brings up the main menu, however on the right hand side the LiveTV is still playing. Is there a way to disable this so when I press Menu it simply brings up the menu?
3) I forget how my setup was in the previous version. I have a PVR150, and a PVR500. So in my Capture sources I have 3 items listed. I forget whether or not I have to enter my Zap2It info in all of them, or only in 1 of them (will it try and retrieve the info 3 times if I enter it 3 times?)
I have a Hauppauge PVr-350 remote, Microsoft MCE 2005 remote and beanbag and a programmable URC-8910 remote. I have GBPVR setup to use the MS remote and am using the URC-8910 remote to control it. The MS remote has programmable buttons L1-L4. I would like to have these do what the red-blue buttons do. GBPVR won't respond to the Hauppauge remote color buttons though. How can I edit or add this functionality to the remote file in GBPVR?
I have read a lot about the purevideo decoder but I don't see it as one of the options in my dropdown box in gbpvr. I have a geforce 6200 and I have the most recent nvidia drivers installed. What's the name of the decoder that I need to select?
