Is GBPVR dependant on any hardware being installed and recognized propperly before GB is installed?

IE if I installed GBPVR before installing drivers for my capture device. I can go into the capture source setup and tell it what kind of device I WILL be using etc....THEN install my device drivers does GBPVR have any issues with that?

Curious cause I'm trying to build a VM image of my HTPC but the vid card and hauppagge drivers will obviously be installed when I move the image to my HTPC box. I was able to create an image with GB on it no problems but when I installed that image on the HTPC I had nothing but problems with the capture source. Granted I was screwing around with the Hauppagge drivers but I want to know if it was just the drivers that were messed up or if GB had some part in it due to the way I created the image...

Any thoughts?

Hi all

Just ordered one of those new Hauppauge Nova-T Stick devices. Looks really cute.

Didn't think to check before I paid, however, whether GBPVR actually supports it! lol

Anybody know whether it does?

Hi, I'm a noob to GBPVR, but loving everything so far!!! The only thing I am having trouble with is DVD navigation. The DVD plays fine, but I loose all control of GBPVR, no remote commands accepted, no keyboard commands accepted. The only way out is to ctl-alt-del and stop GBPVR from the task manager (won't even alt-f4 in window mode). I've read as much as I can from the wiki and forums and tried the following:
1) VMR7, VMR9, overlay options
2) All possible permutations of Intervideo, Cyberlink and Default navigation and codec options
3) Starting WMP and playing the DVD from there (all works fine with navigation) then trying again with GBPVR (still no navigation.... )

I'm not sure what to do next - getting this working really would make my day!

BTW I normally use VLC for DVD playback (and all other media files) - it works perfectly (including dolby dig decoding to SPDIF) without needing any 'help' from Cyberlink et all - is there no way of getting GBPVR to use whatever codecs/navigation VLC is using (I get an AC3filter dropdown in the audio config, but no navigation equivalent)?

Other info:
Athlon XP2600, Hauppauge HVR1300, ATI 9550, GBPVR 96.12 and now 97.07 too!

***edit*** Oops, forgot to say a big thanks to everyone involved in creating this marvelous bit of softrware in the first place!!!

im new to the webadmin, never even looked at it until today. i can access it fine on my local network, since its just my lan ip address.

but how can i access my pvr on the net, when its sharing its connection from another computer?

do i have to use a service like
http://www.dyndns.com
?

does anyone know a good free one, that wont let hackers get into my system?
how secure is this really?

im really paranoid about this kind of stuff....

TIA

I have just purchased the Freecom USB DVB-T stick and I am trying to get this device working with GB-PVR. However, I have run into a number of issues.

I followed the advice from this post on this thread. However, the link to the drivers is no longer active. I have downloaded the latest Yakumo Drivers but the device keeps asking me for 2 files. Westlake.dll and WDM_Capture_220A.sys.

So, inevitably, I need to point to the Freecom CD to install those 2 files. I then run the GB-PVR install and config, and choose the Freecom USB option. When I try to map the channels it says it cannot access the BDA device I have configured or that it is in use (which it isn't) - Then I get a very long program exception.

So does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Hi

Thanks

Sub,
For some reason, on the newest release, when I exit, GBPVR crashes. It's not critical because, as far as I can tell, everything's still working. But, I just thought you should know.

Hi,

I'm using GBPVR since 4 Weeks and everything ist fine, except one problem:

When I'm recording or in time-shift mode, I can't run any program which produces a high Cpu load for a long time. (For exampe I can start Firefox, but if I'm converting a DVD the recording stops).
The tray icon still shows recording, but it stops writing to hard disk.
The problem doesn't exist with the WinTV software, so it's not a driver issue.
I also found a workaround: When the process priority of the other program is lower (it was normal) then everything works fine ( I tried this out in nandub). But this isn't possible with all my programms, they sometimes just crash, when I change the priority with the task manager.

Is there a way for increasing the priority of GBPVR automaticly or another solution?

thanks

Hi,

When I use the Search Guide option, I see multiple episodes of a program, but have no way to tell if I already selected any of them for recording.

The same is true if I use the TV Guide, go into a show, and press "Find More".

The solution is to use the web admin, but that's not an option if you are just sitting with the remote in front of the TV.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just built this machine from scratch with Win2k SP4. Installed all the MSI MB drivers except the NVIDIA IDE drivers and any version of DirectX. Installed the video card drivers and no other utility except for SmartDoctor to monitor clock speed and such.

Tried the PVR-150 in all PCI slots and can't get the driver to run. There are no conflicts reported in device manager, but I get this message:

"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"

I then read on the PVR-150 site that could turn off hardware acceleration and then re-install the drivers. I did this for all PCI slots. Same (Code 31) message.

Has anyone have a fix for this?

I noticed that the PVR-150 seems to use interrupt 5 or 11 depending on the slot I use. There are other devices sharing those intterupts like USB 2.0 Hub and IDE channels, but no IRQ conflict is ever reported by device manager.

Help....

Tom.
