I've finally got my PVR150 working but the playback is choppy. I have a PIII 1.5 Ghz with 512MB Ram, not sure on the video card at this point. The cpu pegs out at 90% when viewing the video. Will a newer video card take some load off the processor or do I have to upgrade the CPU. This setup is only for playback to the monitor, it's not being sent to any other device.

I've been told that I may be able to get a few DVB channels (UK Freeview) where I live in the near future. Currently a bit of a 'dead spot'.

So, how can I get GBPVR (or another app) to scan for avaiable channels, just like a set top box would?

If it makes a difference I have a Hauppage Nova-t DVB card.

Is there any way to make WMV conversion an option for the Transcode feature in the Video Library? It looks to me like these options are tied to <CustomFFmpegConversions> in config.xml, but I don't know (if that is correct or) what to put in there to make WMV show up as an option.

My System:
2 Speakers (through an amp)

Configured under GBPVR
DVD navigator: Cyberlink DVD Navigator (PDVD 6)
DVD video: Cyberlink /SP Decoder
DVD AUdio: Cyberlink Audio Decoder
DVD Renderer: Cyberlink Audio Renderer (PDVD 6)

My problem:
The music is loud and the voices are low.

I've configured and reconfigured and can't seem to fix it. It sounds fine when running dvd's under cyberlink's dvd software.

If anything, i'd like to just boost up the voices and mute the sounds.

Please help as the WAF is losing popularity faster than George Bush's Approval Ratings.

Hi all,

Looking at getting an Antec Fusion case which incorporates an iMon compatible VFD, however support for this seems a bit non standard in GBPVR so I'm thinking of writing my own.

iMon have released a simple API of 5 calls here, so I don't think it'll be too big a job to actually do. Just want to make sure no-one has already got one up and running or is already looking at this before I start!

Also, anyone with an iMon VFD who may be able to test would be helpful!

Thanks

I am still trying to set up a new box with GBPVR. I have been getting the following error when trying to launch the config app:

\systemroot\system32\drivers\dmusic.sys device driver could not be loaded.

When I get this error the config app fails to launch. My understaning is that this file is for a soundcard.

I am running windows 2000 pro. I forgot to get the log files off this morning but I can get those later if needed.

Thanks for the help,
Taz

i 'm using one of the tuners in my PVR 500 to supply local FM radio on a 24x7 basis to my local shoutcast application, hence the recording icon is always green.

i just want to check, is this using up any temp hard disk space or can i leave it tuned in and running like this forever?

Having performance issues while ussing gbpvr. When i pause tv or fast forward or rewind a recording the whole system begins to stutter and almost completely hangs up. Once it does this the only way to fix it is to restart.

If you look at taskmanager at time of hang up (assuming it will come up) gbpvr is using 99% cpu at time and at others it seems system is using 99% cpu.

I am working on a dedicated PVR box with the following specs and a fresh install of win xp pro sp2:

2.0 ghz pentium 4
1 gb ddr ram
128mb GEForce MX 4000 PCI card
adaptec avc 3610 dual tuner (thanks to sub)
250 gb hard drive

Things i have tried to fix this include:

1. Several different codecs and settings on video playback
2. Replacing quartz.dll in directx 9.0c

If i never pause livetv or fast forward a recording it runs great.

Thanks

Hello all.
I have been reading alot on the forum and Wiki but still have a few questions on GBPVR so I hope someone can jump in and shed some light on a few issues.

I currently used BTV (old version 3.x) to act as my PVR. I also use myHTPC as frontend for DivX,DVD player, I have a PVR-250 as capturecard.
Since I now want access to my PVR-funktions, LiveTV and VideoCollection on my second TV I started looking at GBPVR and all of its features.
My idea is to have GBPR connected to the main CRT-TV 32" Widescreen in my livingroom and have a MVP upstaris connected to a 32" Widescreen LCD.
I have a few questions left however:
1 - Can GBPVR with one MVP run OK on a 2.0 GHz Celeron P4 with 512 MB memory ?
2 - Will the MVP interface be slow when running the GBPVR on that slow HW ?
3 - Can GBPVR record and transcode (at night not right after the recording) into VMW and save the transcoded file in a separate dir (for a later sync to my PPC (Ipaq) ?
3,5 - Can the original MPEG2 recording be automaticly deleted after a transcode ?
4 - How would the MVP deal with a HD-Ready LCD TV, I would assue I still have to run 768x576 (PAL) on the MVP, would that cause the recordings GUI, EPG etc to look bad, ?
5 - Will all kind of MVP revisions work with GBPVR ?
6 - Can repeating recordings be set to keep X number of recorded shows and then start to record over the first recording file again ?
