My hardware= athlon mobile 2600@ xp 3400 or 3600 speeds (depending on the weather)
1 gig of pc 3200 memory
asus Radeon 9800 XT
nf7-s ver2.0
avermedia a180 mce hd card
hauppauge 150 mce (no radio)
winfast 2000/xp crappy software card

Here are my issues HD recording is fine live tv or playback zooms this thing to 100% CPU usage, Which I absolutely dun get since the card should be 100% DXVA compatible! And it should have enough horse powertoswing it since an fx5200 is supposed to be enough.
So people two question what could be my problem and if it is the hardware can some people tell me should I upgrade or should I rebuild and what should I rebuild to
terramir

I've been having EPG problems since I upgraded to 97.9.

Sometimes, the EPG guide doesn't load everything and I'm missing data for various channels. If I manually empty the EPG and reload it, everything is there. If I allow the scheduled download to occur, then I'm missing data. I do have the "Complete EPG reload" enabled.

Still using Access. Haven't converted to SQlServer lite.

I'm not sure what's going on. I'm attaching my recording service logs if someone can give me a hand.

Thanks

Hi all

i have 2 tuners - 1 is a pvr 150 and the other is a pvr 150mce - the 150 use to be installed on its own and was working fine - but since i installed the second tuner i have lost all sound from it - either via live tv or recorded shows. i thought it might have been a plugin issue but after removing all plugins it was still doing it. the logs all look ok - no errors. the weird thing is that the video is there just no audio.....

anyone have any ideas on this ?

thanks

My wife has just accepted a job in Jakarta, Indonesia and will be moving there next month. I am currently investigating which of the creature comforts from home will be available in Indonesia should I decide to move. The biggest hurdle I'm trying to overcome is the difference in electricity. I've been told that they run on 220v which is different than the U.S. Will I need to buy some sort of power converter for my computers and laptops? I've spent quite a lot of money on my PVR and I do intend to take it with me should I decide to go as well. Of course, I'll have to invest in some PAL tuners but that's another story.

I recently purchased the KWorld PVR-TV 300U USB Dongle and I'm trying to get it to work. I've made some progress, but now I seem to be stuck. Here is the progress I've made and what I can't get past.

I put the following entry into my "direct.ini" file:

[KWorld PVR-TV 300U]
INIT_MODE=IVAC
INIT_MSP=1
SUPPORTS_FM_RADIO=1
DETECT_MSP=0
FILTER_CROSSBAR=WDM 2861 Crossbar
FILTER_CAPTURE=USB 2861 Device
FILTER_TV_TUNER=WDM 2861 TVTuner
FILTER_TV_AUDIO=WDM 2861 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=Capture
PIN_CAPTURE_PREVIEW_AUDIO_OUT=Preview Audio
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=Input

I got this from copying the newest entry for VStream PVR2 USB2820 and changing around a few entries that I knew of. I didn't change any of the PIN names though and that is where I seem to be having problems.

It loads the driver and locates my capture device. But when I try the Tuning Assistant, I get the following error (which I can also see in my log if I just try to watch Live TV):

Failed to connect pinNameCrossbarAudioDecoderOut to pinNameCaptureAnalogAudioIn

Here is a detailed section of my log file:

VERBOSE Loading filter names

21:28:47.087 VERBOSE SetFilterProperty - IKsPropertySet->QuerySupported property failed
21:28:47.087 VERBOSE SetFilterProperty - IKsPropertySet->QuerySupported property failed

And then that last line just repeats forever if I don't close the window (this is when trying to watch Live TV).

On the Tuning Assistant, after receiving that message, I get video, but no audio. So something is working right.

I don't really understand the PIN concept and couldn't find anywhere how to determine what PIN settings based on my device drivers or anything.

I can provide any files necessary if there is someone out there who can help me. Thanks!

Sorry for the pretty basic question..I hope.

I am pretty new to GB-PVR, but very excited. I am a software developer, so I am not totally clueless when it comes to this type of thing. But I will be the first to admit, I have a lot to leart in this arena -and I am hoping to be able to learn as much as possible ad contribute as much as possible to this forum. On to the question.

I have a shared drive on a server in my house. That share is in the following structure:

Z:
----DVD's
-------Action
-----------Mask of Zorro
----------------VIDEO_TS (All .IFO, .BUP, .VOB Files for this movie here)
-------Comedy
-----------Tommy Boy
----------------VIDEO_TS (All .IFO, .VOB, .BUP files for this movie here)

etc.....

Everything works fine in the GB-PVR video browser. But when I try to use MyVideos, it shows the folder down to the movie level, but when I hit play on the movie folder, nothing happens. If I go into the VIDEO_TS folder, nothing shows in the list (probably becuase the .VOB, .IFO, .BUP files arent in the filter list). I really want to use MyVideos to browse my video collection, but I just cant figure this one out.

Please help...

Thanks

First off, I would like to apologize for my ignorance. I read through as many posts about digital cable as I could find, but I'm still unclear on this subject.

I am getting digital cable (not HD) from Charter. I have the digital box. Can I use GB-PVR with this setup and still record the premium channels? If I can, can I also set it up so that I can record a show while I'm watching a show (2 tuner setup ) with only one digital box?

If I cannot use the digital box, I'll still get regular analog cable through the cable outlets correct? And maybe my PVR setup just won't be able to access the premium channels?

I don't have a very good understanding of how the cable system works. I've had satellite for the past few years with a Tivo system, but I'm excited about building my own system now with GB-PVR.

One last question, will GB-PVR play DivX movies? I thought I read a post that said it did, but I thought I would check. I have about 250 DivX movies that I would like to be a part of my home entertainment system. EDIT: Also, if it does play DivX, will it play Xvid?

Thank you,
Aaron

The EWA allows search (filter) based on type (Movie, Children, etc.).
any plugin that will allow me to do this on the main GBPVR GUI, using my remote?

thanks
