Hi sub and all, thanks for this app it seems to be the only one that works with this product to some extent, apart from the LifeView DTV app. (I tried MCE05, Meedio etc.)
I'm not an expert but got recording working by adding to bda.ini the string:
[TV Walker Hybrid]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=TV Walker Hybrid Digital Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=TV Walker Hybrid Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
Is this correct like this?
I tried various decoder (Cyberlink, InterVideo, NVIDIA) and demuxer (Cyberlink,InterVideo) which are installed. However, I get drop outs and also freezes. Any fixes?
I would like to use the LifePreview Mode which works on the native DTV app. but not in gbpvr. I get sound but the decoder does not seem to start up. So, I installed ffdshow and ticked the box for post-processing (playing around with the various switches) but still no picture. Can this be fixed somehow? Maybe in the next release of gbpvr?
I haven't tried analog TV yet, what would I need to do to get this working?
Also does gbpvr support the remote that came with this product?
Moreover, I read you fixed that the video would not appear in an ActiveMovie Window (-livetv) which works with gbpvr but could you please give me advice on how to fix this for LifeView DTV as the video is always displayed in an ActiveMovie Window on top of the actual app. (very annoying).
Just a warning for those thinking about installing IE7 Beta3. It seems this breaks a few things in GB-PVR. Specifically, it sound like the IE7 is changing the permissions of the local system account such that it no longer has the permissions to start processes.
This will mean several things started by the recording service will not work in GB-PVR with IE7 Beta3 installed. Things that come to mind include:
- Comskip
- MVP Server
- UpdateEPG.bat
- ParallelProcessing.bat
- PostProcessing.bat
- Conversion processing
...and probably some other stuff I cant remember at the moment
Google turned up a couple of other apps having the same problem with IE7 Beta3, so my advice for now is not to install it on a machine with GB-PVR.
I am getting a zero-byte recording, and while there are quite a few previous threads on this, hopefully it is OK to start new one for this specific device/combination of devices (PVR150 and Lifeview TVWalker Mini USB).
I have scoured the forums and recent solutions yield:
1. Try the Native Utilities Patch 12 July 2006. I have this installed. No go.
2. Check you have a MUX Filter installed. Yes, I believe I do. I tried three runs with simultaneous Walker Mini and PVR150 recordings and got 0kb recordings on all of them, for the Walker only. The PVR150 recording grew normally each time. Test details below, with logs.
3. Signal Strength? It's fine, I tested using a DSL box.
4. My system is so old I'm afraid if I ever ask it to hibernate it will never wake up. So I don't use that.
5. I have more than sufficient HD Space.
From previous posts/discussions with sub, the Walker Mini should work with either the native Mux HTMpgMux.ax or with the IVIMux.ax from WinDVD Creator. The three runs I tried confirmed that one or the other of these was being used. I tried:
(i) Native TVR ONLY installed but NOT WinDVD Creator. HTMpgMux.ax was used (in Livepreview) view gorecorder graph. A 0-byte recording made on the Walker when I did a quick record. Exited gracefully.
(ii) Native TVR NOT installed but WinDVD Creator ONLY installed. IVIMux.ax was used (in Livepreview) to view gorecorder graph. A 0-byte recording made on the Walker when I did a quick record and the system appeaerd to just continue recording (both Walker and PVR150 recordings) way PAST the end of the shows. System locked up, no way to ctrl-alt-delete. Switch off to reboot. (Exited rather disgracefully). I used WinDVD Creator3 Trial btw. I have not (yet) tried WinDVD Creator2, but the 0-byte issue is problematic for both the HT and IVI muxes.
(iii) Both the Native TVR AND WinDVD Creator installed. HTMpgMux.ax was used (in Livepreview) to view gorecorder graph (which I am given to understand means the filter has a higher "merit" than ivimux.ax). A 0-byte recording made on the Walker when I did a quick record. Exited gracefully as in (i).
Now, LIVE TV when the Walker Mini is used works fine when either the HTMpgMux.ax or the ivimux.ax are used by the Walker, except that (maybe due to slow startup/USB bus hog or whatever) the USB-UIRT channel changer did not work. It works fine when only the PVR-150 is set up in GBPVR. I'll leave THAT issue for later.
Cheers and Ta
k.
p.s. Quick Q about muxes. I have generally always installed the whole TVR and Creator progs, as it installs a bunch of filters. However, if I can identify the 1 or 2 filters it appears to use from lastgraph or gorecorder, presumably it is OK JUST to register those, rather than install a massive prog I'll never use i.e. it doesn't need any of the dll's or multitude of other filters? This would seem to be the case from the folks installing the Cyberlink Mux, for e.g. If this is the case, I'll just make myself a mux dir and a batch file to register those, for future use.
Sub,
I downloaded and installed Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3. After installing it, GBPVRRecordingService consistently crashes when I try to start it. The info from Windows is:

I finally gave up and de-installed IE7, whereupon GBPVR is back to normal.
I looked at the GBPVRRecordingService log file and there were no messages there indicative of any problem. (Unfortunately I lost the log file in the process of reverting. If it's important to you, I'll reinstall IE7 to reproduce the problem and get the log file. There was only the one log file from GBPVRRecordingServce; no other processes had started and no other log files had been created.)
I'm not in a hurry to have IE7. But FYI, Microsoft has just announced that when IE7 is officially released (projected 4Q06) they'll be using Windows Automatic Update to distribute it automatically. So it's probably worthwhile to resolve this problem before that happens.
Hi all this is my first post! I have been using gbpvr for some time and I love it! for most of my problems, I have found answers on this fourm (with a little searching) and reading the manual, but I have run into one that I have not been able to fix! Its with comskip and getting it to run! when I first installed it everything ran great! but now I can't get it to run on its own.If I drop the recording on the comskip.exe it will run and remove all the commercials just like it should! But thats a pain! I have tried just about everything I can think of to get it to run on its own. I upgraded to the latest v, turned on comskip in the config. turned it off and then back, on looked in comskip ini file at the tv live option, Looked at the post process bat ( but didn't touch it)! so if anybody has any sugestions thx
This one is short and sweet. I was using the MCE IR blaster built in support in version 0.97.7 (?) and it worked great with my cable box. When I installed the new version 0.97.13 ti wouldn't change channels correctly. This was with the same set of IR files and nothing moved as far as the physical hardware. It seemed like it was sending the digits a little faster and that was making the cable box miss a digit randomly, often the first or last but sometimes the middle. Made for some interesting recordings.
This is with 3 digit and 0 padding set and I noticed it on the 3 digit channels since that is what I record on the cable box. I switched to the external MCRBlaster.exe program that was posted in another thread, using the same set of IR files, and it works but it sends the digits noticably slower.
Just though you might keep an eye out in that section of the code for a timing issue. Maybe some related code was improved and the effect was to allow the digits to come out faster which is now too fast. Ideally maybe a config entry for interdigit delay in milliseconds, even one not changable via config.exe would be handy, especially if someone has a box that is picky about the speed that the digits arrive.
I have a problem with GB-PVR 97.13 and comskip since i upgraded to this GB-PVR Version.
Comskip was NEVER working! Accidentally i looked into the recording.log

I don't know, what this means. I tried different comskip versions, but nothing helps to get comskip run.
I want to keep a show I am watching right now. How do I keep it from getting deleted when it ends? It is being recorded in timeshift mode and I think the whole show is there.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the whole PVR thing, so please bear with me :-) I purchased a Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T USB Stick a few months ago and it seems ok to me. However the software, Pinnacle TVCenter, is the biggest piece of shit I have ever used. As you can imagine I am desperate to make a change however it seems like your software, which was recommended to me does not support this device.
Can anyone tell me if there is software to support it, can I make changes you make GBPVR support it, or can I get some new drivers for it? I really just need any suggestions you may have to help me get this thing working with decent software. I don't know any PVR terminology, but I'm relatively capable on a PC so doing some tinkering is no problem.
it seems to be the only one that works with this product to some extent, apart from the LifeView DTV app. (I tried MCE05, Meedio etc.)
