Sub,

I'm still experiencing a sound/volume problem with 96.12 and GBPVR.BIN.

Using GBPVR.BIN, if you have the volume set to some less than 100% and put the MVP in stand-by, when you press the power button to bring it out of stand-by the volume is back at 100%. Dongle.bin works correctly, it remembers the volume setting when the MVP is put in and out of Stand-by.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Please let me know if you would like for me to try anything. Nothing odd appeared in the log.

Thanks,

Bryan

ML2-3.3 Works great, I am really happy with it, one thing:
The play list doesn't update so you can't tell what song is playing unless you go back to the library and again to the playlist then it updates, and shows the song currently playing. All this is on the MVP, I don't know how it is on the PC. Probably a result from not showing/updating playingtime anymore on the MVP.

Had a PM from rusconi about their succesful addition of the following card to GBPVRs BDA.ini file. Replicated here in case any one else needs to do the same:

Leadtek DTV1000T PCI DVB-T

using BDA drivers

rusconi editted the BDA.INI file and added the following entry in order to use the card;

[Leadtek DTV1000T]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=WinFast DTV 1000T BDA DVB-T Tuner/Demod (Thomson DTT7579)
FILTER_CAPTURE=WinFast DTV 1000T BDA Transport Stream Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

Not sure when or how I did this but i've turned off the Next Recording panel and all I have left now is (none scheduled).

I can't see anything in config so where else might I have been in order to achieve this please?



Thanks
David.

First, some background:

I am using an ATI x1800XL. With the 6.3 drivers, the AVIVO has really started to pay off. Hardware rendering is working great.

VMR9 gives rock solid playback (pre-recorded material) but if I use forward/rewind controls it tends to hang on video (audio continues). The program doesn't hang, and I can usually get the picture back by going out and in. This happens on pre-recorded material.

VMR7 also gives rock solid playback without the problems associated with the forward/rewind controls.

VMR9 custom ate up too much cpu so I haven't played with it much.

Overlay doesn't work on the 2nd display so I don't mess with it much.

Now, as I said, pre-recorded material is rock solid and gorgeous. Live TV flickers. The flicker looks like an interlacing issue, so I spent an hour playing with interlacing on the AVIVO control panel, but never could clear up the flicker. The flicker is bad enough to make LIVE unusable.

I'm looking for any suggestions on other things to look at. I am going to check tonight to make sure both drives are still UDMA, they were when I started, but I'm rechecking everything.

Hi

I am planning on building a HTPC but not sure how it will connect to my 32" CRT TV. It has only SCART sockets (3) at the back.

Do I use a SCART adapter to combine the video with sound from the HTPC?

Thanks.

Heyas

Im new here and I just installed GBPVR on my machine.
As soon as installation is finished it appears to try to launch the config program and that crashes it. Unknown error it says. I will get the screenie and post it tonight (im at work! hihihi)

I had tried GVPVR not a week ago and since I loved it I quickly re formatted my computer, set up the bare minimum and had it ready to initiate its media center lifecycle but for some reason I cant make GB PVR to configure.

My machine currently is:
AMD 2400XP
768MB RAM
ATI 9550 256MB RAM
PX-TV402U capture card

Installed on it is:
Windows XP SP2 all latest updates,
.NET 2.0 Framework (I never installed the 1.1... could this be it? ill try it tonight)
Media Player 10
ATI latest drivers
Plextor's drivers (no WinDVD though I tried installing that and trying GBPVR again... didnt work).

I think thats all... I dont really understand what is going on... Im now wondering if I should have installed first .NET 1.1 and then .NET 2.0... and if that has something to do it with.

Any ideas?

Yours Truly
BW

PS: oh.. and I would appreciate any input on NTL cable... I would be using my Plextor on Composite source and thus i wont be able to change channels on my NTL Box... but how will any epg system work? it cant change channel now can it? Anyone knows a way to change the channel automatically?

I beleive the Wicki is out of date, has anyone got a complete list of command line options?

<edit>

Ok if you just bought one of these and it wont work, try adding this to the bda.ini file in your gbpvr directory



(copy from under here)

[Tevion DVB-T 100]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=TEVION DVBT BDA Tuner/Demod
FILTER_CAPTURE=TEVION DVBT 2388x Transport Stream Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[Tevion DVB-T 100 alternate]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=DigiGo DVBT BDA Tuner/Demod
FILTER_CAPTURE=DigiGo DVBT 2388x Transport Stream Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

Ok todays special aldi offer is a Tevion DVB-t 100 freeview pci card.

Out the box you get the card, a remote, a battery, a crap aerial, user guide, install guide, software/driver cd.

How did the install go?

poorly, installed drivers, rebooted machine, as instructed, installed software, ran software, found card, wont tune.

reboot machine, card tunes, slowly...........

Card works, slowly..............

Channels change, slowly.........(ie 5-7 seconds with stuttering!)

Tried to setup gbpvr, device manager identified drivers as.

tevion dvbt bda tuner demod driver
tevion dvbt 2388x av stream crossbar
conexant dvbt 2388x video capture
conexant dvbt 2388x transport stream capture

which looked ok as its a conexant chipset stamped

conexant
BROADCAST DECODER
CX23883-19
52004335
0544 KOREA

But no editing of the BDA.ini worked.

A reinstall and things have changed with the drivers and it now says in device manager..


tevion dvbt bda tuner demod driver
tevion dvbt 2388x av stream crossbar
tevion dvbt 2388x video capture
tevion dvbt 2388x transport stream capture

So, back to editing the bda.ini, still no go.........

Running the directx enumerator shows none of them, but does show capture drivers drivers from digigo...........

editing the bda.ini to 'digigo dvbt bda tuner/demod' worked a treat and the card now works in gbpvr...........


Where the digigo came form I have no idea, the machine I am installing in on my desktop has seen loads of hardware over the years etc, but I think, and is more likely, that Tevion have rebranded digigo drivers and missed a string or two......

Hi Folks,

I apologise if this question has been asked before but I have found the volume of info on these boards to be high. I am a total newbie to the pvr world but I have a dream……….

I wish to have the ability to pause/time shift my ntl cable tv without having a pc in my living room. The spec of the pc will be very good but im not sure how to connect my cable signal to it. I would appreciate any help that you can give.
