I so installed GB-PVR on my office machine, and it ran just fine excpet for the fact that my office machine does not have a TV card! I go to my htpc, install, and when I try to run, nothing happens. Looking at the logs, I see messages like this:

3/9/2006 11:58:32 PM.875 ERROR [2] File or assembly name NativeUtilities, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

The nativeutilites.dll is indeed in the same dir as the exe so I am at a loss for what to do!

I recently came across an application referred to as eventghost which promises to output IR signal with UIRT and other IR equipment. I was wondering if someone would try it out and if they have luck add to the wiki as a girder alternative. Currently I'm waiting for my UIRT to arrive.

If any of you are in need of an album cover art downloader program then you might find this one useful. It's fairly intuitive and works really well. This is going to make my music collection look really friggin sweet

Hi,

I have spent many hours trying to get GB-PVR going with this card.

All was ok, apart from not being able to get SBS and CH9 working, they would intertmittantly appear in scan etc but would not work, no picture or sound. Iam in Brisbane Australia.

After much effort, changing drivers pulling hair out etc, I have found that the following registery key seems to resolves my issues, however everytime I run WinfastDTV it sets this registery key to 1 and my problems come back.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Leadtek\DRIVER\DVBT]
"HandleFrequencyOffsetForMCE"=dword:00000000

Wondering if anyone knows much about this key and why it is being set to 1. Given I don't have MCE and how to stop it being set by WinfastDTV?

If I delete the key, it comes back after running WinfastDTV.

Channel changing is faster with this key set to 0 as is general stability.

My setup is a standard P4 2.8Ghz PC
XP SP2
Leadtek drivers from tw1965 site, V4.0.112.3218
WinfastDTV from leadtek site, V2.0.1.68

I have the 350 and am trying to use it to grab images from a camcorder.

Set up is:
composite out from the camcorder
s-video to composite adapter
hooked to s-video-in on the 350

issue 1:
even in WinTV 2000, with source set to svideo 1 input, black screen on the TV for output

question 1: This should work, right? The adapter I am using, it's a little cable adapter, I *know* it worked when I used it for s-video out from the 350 to composite in on my VCR. It should also work for the reverse, (right?) composite out from the camcorder to s-video in on the 350?

Issue 2/question 2: I'm not totally sure how to config gbpvr for s-video source on the 350. AND, even if I could, how to I take a snapshot of what is on the TV-out?

Thanks for help with either. This would be easier if I hadn't left behind the install CD without which, I cna't offload video from the camcorder to XP, as camcorder drivers are not online (thanks bunches Sony) and if I hadn't left behind the darn *firewire* cable to offload the video natively to my OS X laptop (grrrr.). smooth evening, here.

I thought I could patch together a solution with the 350; but it is also resisting.

Thanks;

Is there anyone out there that can recommend a good video editing application. I would like to take the mpeg2 videos that I have created using gbpvr and edit them. I don't need to do much really. I just would like the ability to cut out portions of it to make it suitible for dvd. Every program I have tried doesn't seem to keep the quality of the original video.

If the program has the ability to convert to divx or xvid it would be a plus but its not required since I own a copy of DIVX Creator.

I understand that HIP is able to perform many of the tasks of the MCE remotes. I currently have a firefly which I love and am looking for an IR blaster with advances functions like shutting off the TV. I'm looking for a good choice.

Is it possible to map the command Alt+Tab to a certain button, that will work regardless of which program is in the foreground?

Edit: Sorry, I usually use the search function before I post. Didnt this time until afterwords. I figured it out. Just added the following line under the [DEFAULT] section of irremote.ini

GRNPOWER={run(C:\Progra~1\devnz\GBPVR\GBPVR.exe)}

I have been using GBPVR for a week or so. It is pretty nifty, but the performance is much worse that the Hauppauge app. My setup is as follows

Uniwill 259IA3 Laptop
2.1Ghz Pentium-M
2GB RAM
60GB 7200 rpm HD
On board ATI Radeon 9600
Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2
XP Pro latest
ATI Catalyst drivers latest

When running ANY other app with GBPVR, LiveTV stutters. I can run twice as many apps with the Hauppauge app with no stutter. When I try and record, I can't watch LiveTV at the same time. Similiarly, I can with the H app. I am not complaining. I hope that I can change some settings and make it go.

*** Probably somewhat solved. To save folks from having to go through the entire thread, try the following. Open task manager. If you don't already have it, add the Base Process Priority tab. Scroll down to gbpvr.exe. Right click on it and set process priority to above normal or high as you desire. My best solution so far is that I created a batch file in my gbpvr directory that includes the following line:

start /abovenormal gbpvr.exe

I am hoping to find a better way. Don't waste your time changing codecs.

Can we have an option to unarchive some files whichwill also restore those videos data into gbpvr database?

Thanks,
Greg
