I have a generic version of an MCE remote (not the microsoft one). It came with my MSI PVR 550 card. Most of the functions work but I cannot get the "pause" to work. Unfortunately "pause" is also the trigger to start time shifting.
The remote has a single button to function as both "play" and "pause", so I suspect that this may be the problem.

Anybody have an idea what I could do to fix this? I would like to avoid using resources to run additional interfaces like HIP or Girder since this is the only button giving me problems.

I recently got a new wMVP with the built-in wireless support. I've been using the wired interface for now until I can get everything working.

First, I installed GB-PVR 97.9, which doesn't appear to support the wMVP model by default. After reading some posts, I got ahold of Hauppauge's 2.5.24023b dongle, which then got GB-PVR working on the MVP. So far, so good.

Then, when I play some WMV files from Video Library, they start playing fine, but then often end prematurely, and the UI returns to Video Library (buffer underrun?). This will usually happen a few minutes into the program, and higher bitrate files do appear to make the problem worse. The server, BTW, is a new, fast PC with plenty of RAM and not doing much else.

I've tried changing the Video Decoder (is that relevant for MVP playback?), as well as upping the MVP Transcode pre-play delay to its max of 16000.

Videos will also stop if I play one and then hit the skip button once it's playing. Is that by design?

There are also some files that GB-PVR won't play at all on the MVP, but will play fine on the GB-PVR's PC interface, like 960x540 WMVs.

Any ideas? TIA.

I've got these two weird things when using divx with srt sub files.

- As soon as the subs kick in the screen goes dark, not totally black but the movie is hardly visible, it looks like somesort of overlay problem where the overlay is not 100% transparent.

second- subs are kickin' in wayyyyyy to soon. It's OK on the mediaplayer, so the timing is fine, I've tried fidling around with the
<SubtitleDelay>1500</SubtitleDelay> in the config.xml and the
<SubtitleDelayMVP>1500</SubtitleDelayMVP> since I'm using a MVP but that doesn't change a thing in the timing.

a hint (or solution) would be appreciated.

TIA

Two recordings were scheduled for tonight, both started and stopped after a few minutes. It's the forth complete install I've made since last monday and all fell with almost the same result. Some recordings seem stopping randomly, others stops after hours (9 hours recording).
If it could help I attached my evening log were both recording have stopped after three and four minutes. Looking into Now Recording files they are still in the recording state.
I even tried to stop one of them nothing happened still both in recording state.

My wife went to cleanup his old tape recorder (help!)

About 1 out of every 10 shows I record has a problem where the whole show doesn't record. But even more frustrating is that on these recordings, if I try to FF or REW, it will skip to a random spot in the video. It will skip forward or reverse regardless of the button I push. I don't see any rhyme or reason to it.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated before recording any more World Cup games. I've attached a zip with a few recent logs and config.xml hopefully showing the problem.

Many thanks!

In GBPVR, when selecting DVD (and DVD is in drive), all I get is a black screen.
Pressing ESC returns to menu.

All settings in the CONFIG/Dvd are on the default.

Now, I tried playing the DVD with other software - Windows Media Player will not play it. It will just fail on the tracks one by one.
However, trying a different player - MPlayerC in this case, it played the same DVD (in the same box...) with no problems.

Attached are the logs and config.xml.

Thanks

Will the gbmvp.bin work with the Hauppauge servers and others similar, or will it only work with GBPVR?

Thanks,
Greg

I have a problem with overlapping text in the Recordings menu. The title of the show overlaps the status (pending, ready...) of the show. Also, if the title of the show is too long, it gets cut off. Is there a way to prevent the overlapping? I am currently using the MCE2 skin but have the same results on the other skins that I have tried.



Thank you,

Have had problem with stuttering video on a twinhan dvb-s CI PCI card (on many apps not just GBPVR).

I investigated this and read around etc. and have found that drivers since version 1.2.1.9 seem to have a problem with stuttering. Symptom is video runs normally except for stutters every 4 seconds or so. You could waste an awful lot of time trying to fix the problem (codecs, signal strength, shared interupts, pci slot etc etc. ) if you did not realise it was the actual device driver causing the problem.

So before trying other things get hold of 1.2.1.9 bda drivers and give them a try.

However on my setup GBPVR 97.9 cannot tune the old drivers correctly (maybe I have to look at what the drivers are called in the setup files etc) as twinhan like to rename them - much to Sub's annoyance I'm sure.

Hope this helps anyone who has this issue. I was near giving up with windows and trying a linux based solution.

Hi

Have an old P3 1000 that i use as a HTPC, to get some live tv i bought Hauppauge-win-tv-nova-t-pci.
When i start wintv2000 (default tv viewing app from hauppauge) my cpu goes 100% and it skips frames,
the same thing happens when i try tv in GB-PVR. Then i tried myTheatre, the cpu load was 30% and the
picture perfect! Now - is it possible to use myTheatre´s codec or drivers when i want to view tv with
GB-PVR?
