What's the best way to see which of two tuners the listings in the GBPVR TV guide points to?

I've got my HVR1300 digital channels listed with the DVB-T EPG, and an external digi box attached to the composite input listed via blep.

Therefore i've got, for example, two instances of BBC1 listed in the GBPVR guide, one will show BBC1 via the HVR, the other will select BBC1 from the external tuner.

I need a bomb (girlfriend) proof way of distinguishing the two lists of programs- is there a way to have maybe two seperate TV guides installed in GBPVR, or maybe highlight or name one set differently?

Hey everyone,

I've had quite a bit of trouble upgrading, and it doesn't seem to be the same as other peoples.

I copied config.xml and gbpvr.mdb to my desktop, installed .NET 2.0, installed GBPVR 0.97.7, and as soon as the install was finished I got an error message telling me that Config had crashed, before I had launched anything.

My backup of config.xml was no longer on my desktop, and when I launched config all my configurations were empty. Fine, I just have to set it all up again. Annoying, but not the end of the world.

The major problem is with the EPG. When I started up the new version, it had lost all of my EPG, recordings, etc. I copied my backed up copy of gbpvr.mdb into the GBPVR directory, and GBPVR refuses to recognize it when I press "Live TV". It says that "no Channels have been setup, please run the Config utility and update the EPG source, etc, etc." I can watch my recordings though.

When I go to config and try and update my EPG, however, it does not work. For a while it was giving me an error message, and I knew you'd like to see it. For some reason though, when I tried to replicate it as I was posting this, it refused to do it (I tried a few times). What does happen is that the EPG updates, and GBPVR's "Live TV" still doesnt recognize it. Still tells me to go into Config and update the EPG.

I would really rather not roll back to .96, and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

UPDATE: In case this helps in diagnosing the issue, I can navigate the EPG from within the Web Interface. TV Guide is working and as complete as before the upgrade. The recordings page is also complete.

I've uninstalled the old version of GBPVR and even deleted the old gbpvr dir so its a completly clean install after installing .Net2.0.

Configuring from scratch I cannot get any analogue tv channels via my HVR1300. I select Hauppage Roslyn for the card. This used to work on the previous version.

It lets me configure them, but when I try to view them using gbpvr I get a black screen and have to kill the process!

Freeview channels will configure correctly. I need the analogue channels as I cannot receive all Freeview channels and use Analogue for ITV and C4.

I'm uk based.

Any ideas????
Thanks
Alan

sub, stattik, et al,

I performed an upgrade from 96.12 to 97.07 recently.
Regular ATSC recordings appear to be fine for 480i(p) and 720, but the 1080i recordings are failing. Here are some of the things that are happening:

1) Records a show, but the show either has a LOT of skipped or badly recorded areas (like a bad signal even though signal strength is strong and stable) or it plays and then stops. Can't FF or RW. Even using other players (WMP, VLC, etc.).
2) Starts to record and stops even though the GBPVR recording status show it is still recording. The recording doesn't stop. I have to stop it manually. The file is either 0 byte or less than a 500 MB.

The only thing (here it comes) changed it the upgrade to 97.07.
I did have a NativeUtilities.dll patch file from sub that addressed a MUX selection issue I had. Attempting to reapply that file/patch didn't work in an attempt to address this new issue. I have set it back to the original 97.07 file.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!
Greg

I just noticed that wake.cmd has stopped running for me. I recently stopped using the tray icon program completely, so I thought it may be called by that? Is that true, and if so, does anyone know how to run a program when the computer wakes up from standby?

Thanks!

Don't look know but the wiki is back up!

I have installed 0.97.07 and everything except the MVP is working ok. What is happening is that the MVP will work only the first time after my PC is rebooted ( the MVP has to be switched off during reboot). If the MVP is then switched off and on or even power cycled if will display menus but will not play mpeg files. It just presents a blank screen.

Restarting GBPVR does not fix the problem
Changing dongle.bin doesn't work (I have tried about 6 different versions with the same result including versions which worked previously)
The MVP worked OK with previous versions of GBPVR.
I have installed GBPVR in a clean directory and used no external plugins.

Here are my logs gbpvr.exe-2.log shows a working MVP. Then after switching off and on the MVP gbpvr.exe-1.log shows the error state.


Any ideas?

Hello,
I am using a Hauppauge Roslyn. GB-Pvr seems to capture the Sound direct from the card.
But I don't want to capture the audio via Line_In of the soundcard. I get the sound splitted from the video signal via Line_in.
Is it possilbe, e.g. by editing the direct.ini or sth. like that, to get the sound from line_In ?

P.S.: I'm sorry for my English

With the last couple of releases the MP3 playback would work intermittently. I've upgraded to v0.97.7 and now nothing.

It will not play MP3's using either Music Library or the Music Library2 plugin. I also had the same problem on tha last version with other music plugins Music Player and My Music.

It works on my PC or on the MVP using the Haupauge software.

I had hoped that the new release would solve my problems.

Does anyone have any ideas??

Hi, this is my first post I hope someone will be able to help.

I currently have a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T and an Nvidia 6200 based graphics card, I was curious if anyone else is using these cards and if so what playback and DVD decoders have they found to work best with them?

Recently I done a bit of a hardware upgrade to my HTPC and re-installed the OS and the latest version of GBPVR (0.97.7). Since then when I try to watch TV, quite a few of the channels seem very jerky (not a constant video or audio) and changing channels seems to go slow as well. Watching recordings or avi files works fine.

I was previously running GBPVR 0.96 with an ATI Radeon 8500 64MB, and I did not have these same problems.

I have not yet tried going back to GBPVR 0.96, as I assumed that these problems are more likely to be with the setup of my new graphics card. If anyone has a similar combo of hardware I'd like to hear about what sort of setup you have found provides the best performance.

The current Playback Decoders available are:
InterVideo NonCSS Video Decoder (currently selected)
InterVideo Video Decoder
MainConcept Video Decoder

I am also running on VMR9, tried 7 and overlay but did not make any difference to the playback.


Current Hardware Config:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
768MB DDR
Asus A7N8X Deluxe (Nvidia Unified Driver v5.10)
XFX 6200 256MB AGP (Driver v84.21)
Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T PCI (Driver v2.5.24111, from latest CD image download on there website)
HDD1: Samsung ST240016A 40GB IDE (OS, Windows XP Pro)
HDD2: Samsung SP2504C 250GB SATA (Recordings)

Previous Hardware Config:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
768MB DDR
Abit KR7A-Raid
ATI Radeon 8500 64MB AGP
Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T PCI
HDD1: Samsung ST240016A 40GB IDE (OS, Windows MCE2005 & Recordings)

Thanks for any help you can give.
