i've had this long time recurring problem where gb just suddenly stops recording audio. I have a hauppage 150 card. Switching the box off and on would always solve the problem, but it would come back after a day or two. The files on disc are present, but there is no audio tracks in the files. So I thought I'd reinstall the latest version (.97.7) over the top of itself. Oh boy, was that a mistake. Firstly the config tool crashed any time you wanted to run it. I figured that the config.xml file might be buggered so I removed that - which of course meant that it creates it anew - and then crashed. So I removed the whole gbpvr folder and tols the msi to repair, hoping that I could put my original config.xml file back into the folder after it was repaired. This led to the same crash problem, where the config would show, then it would crash and exit.
So I've had to set up my whole installation again, which isn't so bad I suppose. The main thing is now that in my recordings option, there's no entries. On my disk in the recordings folder I have dozens and dozens of folders full of recordings. Is there any way I can convince my new installation that it has these existing recordings? Can I just copy certain files from my old gbpvr folder back in somehow without causing oltold other dramas?
Sorry I'm late to the party. Life and the wife's recordings got in the way unfortunately. (Damned Oprah...)
Anyhow, I managed to upgrade this evening and seem to be having issues with the new BDA channel scanning feature and my F5 lite. GBPVR states that it cannot access the device in question but I know the F5 is working. GBPVR can play back channels I manually configure. Which logs capture information from the BDA config screen?

I noticed that after I select "Refresh" in the theater plugin and came back a few minutes later, the "Last Refresh" date and the listings hadn't changed even though the DOS box running the refresh was gone. Going back to the main menu and returning to the theatre plugin would trigger a UI update but this little bug was annoying me so I fixed it.
This plugin is by Jorm and he is not reachable these days so I attached the replacement DLL and the modified source here.
Just picked up my second MVP. My first was a Rev D3AM, this new one is Rev H2.
I have been using 0.97.7 for a little over a week with the D3AM unit, but I can't get the new H2 unit to work (could roll back to v0.96.12, but would rather not).
With the H2 unit all is fine and good with GBPVR set to 0 servers and using just the Hauppauge services. When I stop the Hauppauge services and set the servers to 2 (or 1 for that matter), the H2 unit shows the boot screen, jumps to 3 bars (out of 5), then 4, and stays there. For the curious, the H2 unit shows "v2.4" on the boot screen were the D3AM shows "v1.0".
The only change I made to GBPVR was to increase the servers to auto start from 1 to 2. Maybe I'm being a dork and missing something obvious, or maybe there's and issue with H2.
I have used the tunning assistant and I have identified all the channels and frquencies that I wish to use. I would love to put them into GBPVR and in order to try to do so I have downloaded the Fre2reg.exe and the freq2xml.exe. I have created a .txt file which looks like this
# UPC cable frequencies New Zealand
# format: <preset number> <frequency in Hz> <channel ID> "<channel name>"
I have placed the command line " freq2reg < mypresets.txt > presets.reg " as described in the readme which came with the two .exe files into a command prompt window and pressed enter. The result of which gives me the message " the system cannot find the file specified". What have I done wrong?
just installed to version 09709 and in live tv mode I can change the channels just fine but when I go to timeshift mode, I change the channel and it tries to go to channel 03 then just goes to channel 04 everytime, even if I change to I.E. channel 54 it still goes to 03 then goes to 04, I have the recording source set to direct recording plugin and in that I use fixed channel external tuner and tuning on cable and constant channel on 3, I'm abit confused....thanks
I'm using a usb-uirt and a dish network reciever with the following specs....
Just upgraged. First, I forgot the .NET 2.0 upgrade. The installed complained about two files failed to register.
So, after the DBPVR upgrade, I did the .NET, and re-run the GBPVR setup, and chose "repair". Seemed to have worked.
But - is it expected to loose all configuraion? I have a backup of the whole "gbpvr" folder, but am I suppose to do something? just copy the config.xml?
I had to re-add the capture source, all plugins are under root menu, re-do the XML guide, everything.
Is this normal? bug? or result of my clumsiness forgetting the .NET upgrade?
Also, this is minor (using the Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2), there seem to be a click sound when zapping channels. This seems to be new (also WIFE notices).
