Late yesterday, I installed GBPVR and ran into following problems:
I had installed Hauppauge PVR 150 and updated the drivers and software on site and used WinTV2000 for a bit, the remote controled on/off, full screen/ back to window, volume, changing channels.
Yesterday evening installed GBPVR, configured to local analog cableco (zap2it), and when I started using LiveTV kept getting audio without video.
Used to the include (with gbpvr) tuner tool and could see all channels. After reading a few threads, decided I must be missing a "video decoder", so I download/installed latest version on intervideo windvd and VOILA I had live TV.
Then I started to try what the Remote did, channels were changing, and I can't remember what else. But I think (from what I recall, it was late), I was using the remote's volume control, and somehow I lost the volume.
I verified that it works fine in WinTV2000, but in GBPVR, it starts up with no sound (or almost none), I can see that the volume icon/control reacts to the remote control. If I "pump" up the volume on both my speakers and in the system tray/volume control I can hear a little bit, but it also means all other audio would blow speakers....
It seams to be on all channels (I saw some threads talking about some channels versus others). It worked great a a period of time.
Does anyone Have any Idea.
I saw in a thread to try the "beta" version of the driver from Hauppauge, but what I don't understand is that it worked for a while (and I'm pretty sure, it stopped working after using the remote's volume button). I did reboot a few times...
I have been using GB-PVR for a couple of weeks and really like it, but have frequent crashes when a recording ends. Windows 2000 completely locks up and I have to reboot after the crash. Sometimes I can go a couple of days without a crash, but sometimes it crashes twice a day.
I am using a Hauppauge PVR-350 with the TV-out hooked to the TV. These crashes occured with GB-PVR 95.11 and the new 94.13. Live TV also crashes frequently when I press the stop button, but pressing Pause first, waiting a few seconds and then pressing Stop, seems to prevent Live TV from crashing. I had similar problems with Live TV using a SageTV trial, but scheduled recordings never crashed, and Live TV crashes only took down the SageTV app, not the entire Windows 2000 OS.
The last thing in the GBPVR.exe.log is:
12/1/2005 1:34:06 AM.762 VERBOSE [4] Direct Access got: 98246655 (255) - repeated over and over, then a partial line -
12/1/2005 1:34:06 AM.842 VERBOSE [4]
The recording service log only shows the start of the last recording.
I would really like to keep using GB-PVR if this crash can be resolved.
I have the latest upgrade to gbpvr. I have noticed with a few different skins that the main menu page kinda shakes when you move up and down through the menu. It's as if the whole screen is being refereshed slow.
I don't notice it with the default blue one--i tried it on a couple others including the color collection
Iâve searched the forums but canât seem to find my particular problem using a decent system & a hardware encoder.
Iâm probably not using the correct terms so I aplogize if this was covered in another thread.
Iâm running a sapphire theatrix 550 on a 1.67 ghz athlon XP with windows xp sp2. 512mb ddr ram.
Latest drivers are installed.
The crappy cyberlink software was on there but I uninstalled it & Iâm using the mpeg codec from windvd 7.
Iâm recording shows off my tivo at high quality & while the picture is very clear & sharp, it seems like Iâm dropping frames when I record.
The CPU isnât tanking & I have everything recording to a second HD that has been defragged. It doesnât matter what quality I use.
The slight jumps in the picture make my eyes buggy. I tried playing the file through GBPVR & on another PC using cyberlink powerDVD & Iâd say it looks like maybe every 4th or 5th frame is being dropped.
Iâve cut back on the non-needed services & do not have much running at boot up either.
I woke up this morning to find my guide empty with an error message. I tried to update via the right-click on the gbpvr icon and it gave me the following error:
"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0x1060 (4192), Thread id=0xed8 (3800)"
When I attempted to update via the config app it told me my EPG source isn't set up correctly.
I went to www.labs.zap2it.com and tried to log in. It appears that the site is down. Is anyone else having similar problems?
Sub, would it be possible in the future not to completely empty the guide until it downloads the new info? I like the feature to empty it to get new descriptions, updates, etc, but the current method makes us rely on zap2it being up 100% of the time.
Problem is I can delete the registry value "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\devnz\LastVolume" but it comes back again spoiling the sound again. Is there something I can disable to stop it creating this key?
Does anyone know of a device that can take multiple RF signal inputs and combine them in to one output? ie take an input from RF sat, PVR, video, dig Terrestrial etc and put down one cable on different frequencies so that I can tune each TV to a different channel for each of the inputs.
Recently attempted install of GBPVR on new system. First install of .NET 1.1 then installl of program. Receive error shown below. Followed with install of .NET 1.1 sp1 and .NET 2.0 as well as MDAC 2.8, receiving no change in error response even after reinstall. Deleted the Nativeutilities.dll file in folder with no change in response.
Have latest drivers from Hauppauge PVR 350 installed. Only problem I see might exist is the usage of Nvidia Active Shield hardware firewall. Tried uninstalling, but still problem with GBPVR exists. Want to get this to work, but nothing I do seems to work. I am pretty sure its something with my system setup as Mediaportal also doesnt work, and insight into what I can do with troubleshooting would be great.
