i wanted to see how well the web interface worked so i started it up for the first time today. however i am getting a strange error when i try to access the pages, i'm getting a 404
-----------
Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application
HTTP Error 404 - Not Found
------------
i've looked through my setup and the only thing i can see that might be causing this is that i am using my F drive for the install directory for gbpvr. if this is what might be causing this can anyone point me to what xml or config file i need to modify to correct this.
I have looked everywhere....starting with the stores that have been suggested by Hauppauge. Then I just googled it and cant find any stores that either have it or have it IN stock. At http://www.pcalchemy.com they say on the bottom of their website that they are coming in but they just keep pushing that date back and back. The ONLY and let me quote "ONLY" store that I could find it in stock was at the Snapstream store for the full $99.99 price tag. Newegg.com used to carry it but has recently dissappeared from their stock. I have checked ebay and find a couple but would surely like to use that as a last resort. And writing on this forum is my second to last resort so if anyone could find a Media MVP (I live in the US just FYI) It would be greatly appreciated and would give you major props.
Also I heard that Hauppage is coming out with a new with the new wireless one but my house is very conviently home networked already so I will not need the wireless model.
I built a PVR about 6 months ago (GBPVR) and it has completely altered the way we watch TV, 1000% for the better. Never going back.
My next idea is that I want to record audio shows off the internet with the same ease of use. The plan is to select a few shows from an EPG, have them downloaded at whatever time they are on, copy them to my ipod and listen to them on the way to work.
The programs I am particularly interested in are on BBC Radio 4 from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/schedule/. They have a few mp3 downloads of channels, but not the ones I want. The streaming signal can be played by RealPlayer.
Ideally this should not interfere with recording or playback of TV on the PVR - I guess I might need to install a second sound card then.
Does anyone have any existing solution to this? ideally a plug-in to GBPVR would be best, but other solutions are gladly accepted!
Up until now I have been starting the hauppauge software whenever I have had to unplug the mdiamvp or it has crashed. I decided to try to set up a DHCP server so that it would reboot from GBPVR but I've run into a problem. I have installed and setup DHCP Turbo on the server pc per the instructions from the mvpmc group except specified the bootfile as dongle.bin. For some reason there is also no option to set up the subnet mask (1) in the global named policies in my installation as shown in the instructions. The mvp gets to the third bar and stalls, the dhcp log says that it has given the mediamvp an ip address. As I understand it this suggests that GBPVR is not responding to the MVPs request for the dongle.bin? I have the firewall turned off.
I don't have access to my htpc at the moment and didn't have the presence of mind late last night to check the mvp settings in GBPVR but lacking this info can anyone make any suggestions what I should look for to get this working?
I installed the latest version of GB-PVR and am ironing out glitches in my understanding... the latest is as follows:
When I watch Live TV, no problems.
When I watch a recording, no problems.
When I watch a video stored on another computer, no problem.
However, when I am watching a Live program, and a Pre-set recording starts, I can watch the recording as it is being made, but I get no sound. Similarly, if I am not using Gb-PVR actively when it starts a recording, and I open GB-PVR and accept the option to watch the recording in progress, I can watch, but there is no sound.
At that time, all other XP applications have sound.
It would be so cool if there was a plugin that would access Blockbuster or netflix or somethign and tell you what DVDs were released that week. That way before I go fight with all the 15yr olds down at the video store, I'd at least know whats available.
Great program and a great community also. Thanks a ton
I'm looking to start I doing some PVR, I think. Basically, what I want to do is be able to watch TV on my computer, record programs, and burn them to a DVD. I currently have a TV Tuner (or capture?!?) card in my computer. On it it says TVision 5V TVF6631-MFF. I think its a 3D Vision CCD-MX-TV FMTV Tuner. I'm not having good luck getting this to work with GBPVR, and since its a pretty old card, that doesn't surprise me.
What I want to know, is will this card work? Asumming not, what's the best thing for me to buy? Will a Hauppauge! WinTV-GO PCI Card like the 190 or 1033 work? Or is the WinTV-PVR150/200/500, etc... really a better option. What's the difference?
I'm looking to not spend too much money (I'm a broke college student) but I know this will cost a bit, and I'm OK with that.
Also, if it helps, I'm running an AMD Athlon 1800+ with 512MB DDR Ram.
The way it works for me is from the main menu I press 'system' then nothing happens for ~3 seconds then then the system menu appears.
But because there is a delay as the drive space is checked I am sometimes not sure I have pressed the button on the remote correctly.
Is it possible (even worthwhile) to go into the 'system' menu and then check the drive space?
PS. while we are on it am I the only idiot that presses 'exit' expecting to exit the MENU not the program. Yeah I know - but I keep doing it. Could 'exit' become 'exit program' or something totally idiot proof? :o
I was having problems with my computer stuttering gbpvr untill I increased the priority of gvpbr.exe (all instances) to above normal or even high.
I know how I will launch the gbpvr on the console at a higher priority, but have no idea how to get it to happen when using the mvp... I was thinking of creating another exe that would call gbpvr in a higher priority and rename gbpvr.exe. I do not know the reprocussions of that action. I am, obviously, open to other suggestions.
Thanks,
Matt
