Since I upgraded to the latest version of GBPVR, the program refuses to update the EPG. Whenver I tell it to update it, the dialog box comes up for about a second and then disappears. I am using the DVB EPG Broadcast option. The problem never occurred with the previous version - any ideas? Is there any way I can force it to update? The problem seems to occur regardless of whether I select 'Complete EPG Reload' or not.
I picked up a Hauppage WinTV-PVR-USB2 today and I can't seem to get it to work with gbpvr. It works fine with a demo of BeyondTV and with the WinTV software that came with the box. I followed the setup instructions in the Wiki but when I select the capture device as the box I have then click OK it tells me that drivers for the selected device are not installed. The device shows up fine in the Device Manager in Windows and as I said before works fine with other software.
One odd thing I have noticed is that the drivers on the CD that came with the device are a higher version than the ones on the hauppauge website, and if I try to install clean with the drivers on the hauppage website Windows won't allow it. The model is 941, but the actual part number is 24012, whereas it seems the normal part number for the WinTV-PVR-USB2 is something like 29xxx. I emailed Hauppage support about this as well but no answer yet.

Here you go, I've taken it as far as I can (which ain't far.....). This is just so out of my league it's not funny.
But enclosed is a C# port of a java class for acting as an MVP client.
I can get a screen up, but it looks like crap (something to do with I'm using 8 bit colour, and the VNC source I'm using is mostly in 24 bit, so some conversion needs to happen there).
Also it must grab some other data after a while that I'm not handling.
So if someone else wants to try and give it a go...
If youhave a look at the java one, it gets a screen up (but you can't do anything with it). Source for that is enclosed as well. That's what I based my decoder on.

Greetings everyone,
I did a search on my problem with no luck, so here goes.
So I've got a standard setup of my PC running to the MVP (via my home net) which then runs to the TV. The PC is an AMD 1.4ghz w/ 512ram, 160gb HD, PVR150 and an ATI 32mg video card (this is my old desktop). It's been wiped clean and the only thing running on it, is the various pieces of PVR software.
The problem: Some videos when I watch them drop to the directory tree after about 1 min of play. Not every video does, only some, but once it does it, it will always occur on that video there after. I can't see any pattern in the type of video, doesn't matter if it's mpeg or avi. However, this only occurs when I use GBPVR. When I use the standard hauppauge software that comes with the MVP I can watch any of these same video with no problems. I downloaded the latest drivers for all my hardware, I'm using the latest version of GBPVR and no luck.:confused:
Is there a video codec setup that is specific to GBPVR that I need?
I really want to get GBPVR running my setup as it looks like a great piece of software.
Any other information needed, let me know and I'll post it. All help is greatly appreciated.
I was search for information about tuner priority and fround a message from Sub saying "Recordings and Live TV start looking for an available tuner at opposite ends of the list." http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...r+priority
Is there any way around this? I have 2 tuners and the second one on the list always has some static to it. This is ok for the few times I use it, but if I don't have anything recording I would like to use the first card for watching Live TV. Is there anything I can do?
is there any way to disable the EPG update that is configured in the "capture sources" tab? i prefer to do the update manually as i only fetch xmltv data every 2 days, and i do it through the commandline interface so i can launch the update process with low cpu priority.
btw, what does this switch in the config.xml do and what are its other settings:
I have my GBPVR computer hooked up to run through my reciever to take advantage of the 5.1 surround sound. I have the 5 speakers working perfectly, but I don't have any bass running through at all. I have an older Creative Soundblaster PCI card in my computer and it is hooked up through just an analog connection. I don't have any digital connections available to use. Anyone have any ideas why there isn't any bass? I've tried searching the forums for answers, but I can't find any dealing with analog audio connections just missing bass.
I hosed my GBPVR installation, and of course I didn't have it backed-up. I reinstalled, and have been trying to get it back to the way it was, but I'm having trouble with my MVP.
Even though I have GBPVR configured to autostart 1 MVP server (using the config app), the only way to get the MVP to connect is to manually start one, using the shortcut "GB-PVR MediaMVP Server" in the GBPVR start menu group. Otherwise, I just get the "Connecting to server..." message on the MVP.
I am using GBPVR version 95.16. I re-downloaded it from the wiki at http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR09516.msi to make sure I had a good copy of the latest version. I have attached a zip of all of the appropriate log files from my gbpvr directory.
From the readme.txt
Changes in 0.79.24
- Made a big change to improve finding weak logo's (like on NZ's channel ONE)
- Some heuristics improvements for very short segments
- Comskip will check your logo_threshold setting and suggest a value in the log file. reliable on recordings of at least 45 minutes.
- In case of a Comskip crash there is no longer need for manual intervention.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the wrong ini file to be used
I am brand new to the world of PVR's. I just bought the WinTV-PVR-150 w/IR Blaster and have had no luck setting up channels so I DLed gb-pvr. I've studied the Wiki and am still totally lost from some of the terminology. I guess I just need help getting the configuration set up correctly from start to finish.
I'll start by elaborating on what my setup consists of:
DirecTV service using the TV connector port on the card comming from the TV port in my receiver
I'm currently trying to set up channels when I try to "update EPG" it tells me my EPG source is not configured correctly. I have DLed the XMLTV file for DirecTV and cannot get it to install. It does nothing when I click it. How do I do this given the setup I have? :confused:
Thanks so much in advance for any help you all can offer.
