everything was good, then live tv quits displaying a picture.
recordings still display and the system still records programs.
Ive ran the chanble tuner and it detects channels and they look fine.

Any ideas?

Hi

I just purchased an AVerMedia DVB-T 777 Card, i want to use it with gbpvr, but i am unable to choose it in the config of gbpvr.

It works well with the software it came with put i just can't get gbpvr to recognize it.

Is this card compatible with gbpvr?
BDA drivers, who do i set install these drivers and get them to use gbpvr?
How do i add a card to gbpvr config?
If Avermedia won't work what the best digital cards to get that work well with gbpver?

If someone could help that would be great :confused:

Is there anyway to remove the OSD completely from a skin? It really gets in the way of subtitles so I'd like to just eliminate it entirely.
I've try editing out parts of the osd/skin.xml files that I don't want but the changes I make seem to have no effect. Particularly annoying is the background image under the lower part.

Hi,

Could you please tell me when running Nova-T PCI or the Nova-T USB2, how much CPU is used in each case?

Does the USB2 version use much higher CPU than the PCI version ?

By the way, does anyone use MVP and Nova-T USB2 to pause/rewind/forward live TV ? Is it ok? I am a bit worried that the CPU usage of the Nova-T USB2 is too much to do the job.

Thanks a lot,
SV

When I set the bitrates for the plextor m4020u in the gbpvr program, the bitrate and resolution won't lock down. In other

words, I set the bitrate for 1 Mbs per second and the resulting video is 320 x 240 instead of 340 x 480 ( I specified ) and

nearly 1 gig in size. 1 hour at this rate should be around 450 megabytes for mpeg1,2,and 4. This could be happening

because the plextor device. I specified my recording codec parameters thru config and the codecs were switched. For

example, I chose mpeg-2 for medium recording but it is usually switched with divx or mpeg-4.

Thinking about the future once ps3 comes out and I get a hd tv....

What do I need to get in order to record HD....


Will my pvr150 card work?

what about video card...?

Hi everyone.

Am I missing something? How do I view the program on the local machine? Must I have some sort of remote device, like the MVP from Happauge (sp?).

Thanks,
Stan

Well - I know that a constructor is called when an instance of an object is created but how does this apply to plugins?

I'm trying to work out where I should initialize various components, process the skin.xml, etc. etc. I'm currently doing this in the Activate method but that doesn't seem right - I have to use 'keep-alive' type flags to prevent Activate from re-initialising stuff if I exit the plugin then go back in. At the same time, I don't want my plugin to do a whole load of stuff every time the gbpvr main app. is started (if that is when the constructor is called).

Slightly confused.

Cheers,
Brian

Hi,
Has anyone been able to get this PCI card (AverTV Hybrid+FM PCI (A16AR))to work with GB-PVR. Tried all the BDA drivers I can find of Avermedia website.
Have correct MPEG decoders.
Any ideas. I must confess I'm fairly new to all this video/TV stuff, so excuse my ignorance.
Thanks,
Rob

I'm back!!! With a new motherboard!
I always had the random problem with GBPVR stopping the AVI transcode to MPG when I was watching my DVDs on the MVP. I also started seeing random freezes when I was playing games, so last week, I decided to test my system.

I downloaded Prime95, and ran the torture test in blend mode. To my susprise, Prime95 reported my computer was making erroneous calculations. I spent the last week trying to diagnose, and it ended up being a defective capacitor on my mobo. I noticed that during intense calculations, my Vdd (chipset voltage) started dropping from 1.6 down to 1.4v every once in a while. I looked at the cap, and it was slightly cracked on the top. Barely visible with the naked eye.
I had a friend run the same test on the same mobo+CPU and RAM, and his Vdd was rock stable.

So i'm back, with an Abit NF7-S2G, that doesn't generate calculation errors anymore, and a bank account $60 lighter. Could have been worse, I guess.

So if you're having the random crashes in GBPVR, and can't really pinpoint where it comes from, it's worth running the torture test in "blend" mode of Prime95. Might reveal something you didn't know about!
