I bought myself a couple speedy new hard drives and reinstalled windows and gbpvr, but I am having an odd problem. When I playback my recordings I cannot change the aspect ratio (via F7) and when I pause, the display that shows the progress bar where I am in the show/movie does not pop up. Comskip is generating it's files, but I cannot use it either.
The only thing I changed when I put in the new hard drives is that while I was using win xp pro before, now I am using win xp home.
I must have done something different in the configuration before, or forgot to install something. If anybody has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi all,
I'm a new user of this brilliant piece of software, but I've got some (configuration?) problems.
Whenever I'm using GBPVR in LiveTv mode, I could not change the channel via the numbers on my remote or the numbers on the keyboard. I've already searched the forum for this problem and I found that the common solution was to press the OK button on the remote or to press Enter from the keyboard, but in my case this doesn't help. Whenever I press some number it appears on the program window and when I press Enter, nothing happens - the channel stays.
What is the problem?
I've got Hauppauge PVR 150, WinXP SP2, GBPVR 0.9413. I'm not using EPG, 'cause there are no listings for my country .
Any help will be appreciated!
Hi,
Hope someone can help me with this, and that it's not too long. I've read forums (and googled), and have partially solved my initial problem, but have left ANSWER1 in case it is useful. Now I'm not sure what to try, and have no previous experience with this stuff. (Wiki hasn't been available today, but I didn't see any google links to it)
In summary, my problem is that using GB-PVR I have trouble after changing channels. I think that a consistent symptom is a snippet of looping video/audio, though the exact conditions seem to vary depending on whether it's a radio/non-radio channel, and whether I'm using TV/PC
Thanks, Mark
In more detail, here are some observations. It is "ANSWER2" that I need help with :
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. After selecting "LiveTV" from the menu, the screen is blank for a couple of seconds, then sometimes I get a 'blocky' picture for a couple of seconds, then it goes back to the menu. I get the same thing when selecting a programme from the EPG to play live, and when trying to replay recorded TV. I do get a small green&white "play" icon. [All of these are on the TV, rather than on PC, which worked ok though was sometimes jerky]
ANSWER1 : Needed to select the new mux that I installed (Cyberlink) from the dropdown menu in GB-PVR Configuration -> Misc (instead of Microsoft DVR-MS). Video is still blocky for the first 10 seconds or so
2. When selecting a radio station from the PC EPG, to play, I get an error window :
=========================
GBPVRRecordingService.exe
"Application has encountered a user-defined breakpoint
Process id=0x698(1688), Thread id=0xf5c(3932)"
=========================
I don't have a debugger, and clicking "Ignore" gave me a window saying :
=========================
"Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
=========================
Selecting a 2nd subsequent radio station gave the same error. Selecting a subsequent TV station was ok (in the sense that the GB icon said it was recording LiveTV), but I had no video nor audio unless I restarted the GB-PVR application
Selecting a radio station from the TV EPG does work, though there seems to be an early snippet that loops and keeps interrupting. This seems to be from the current channel, unless I went there from a non-radio channel, in which case it is a 3 second snippet of the old channel (video + audio)
If I went to 2 radio channels and then a non-radio channel, then the application had to be closed :
=========================
"GBPVRRecordingService.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience
Error signature :
szAppName : GBPVRRecordingService.exe
szAppVer : 1.0.2093.28460
szModName : MpgMux.ax
szModVer : 5.0.0.727
offset : 00018fcc"
=========================
...and in fact I had to reboot, because the GB icon still said it was recording LiveTV (radio), and the error message on the TV was :
=========================
"Failed to communicate with the recording service"
=========================
I also got the same GBPVRRecordingService.exe error when I went to 3 non-radio channels in succession, in which case there was a snippet of channel 2 looping (and channel 3 was never seen/ heard). However, when I did this via the PC EPG it seemed ok (but hard to test much, as there seem to be only 3 working non-radio channels in the EPG)
I did also get a "No tuners are available...etc" error window while I was testing, but can't remember the conditions that produced it, so am ignoring it at the moment
ANSWER2 :
(3. My EPG shows no programmes for a large bloc of channels. That seems odd. Doubt it's connected to the issue, but does mean I have few non-radio channels to test with)
(4. WinTV2000 no longer gives video nor audio, even if I shut down the GB-PVR server. I assume this is correct)

Windows XP Pro SP2. Shuttle SD31P; Pentium4 3GHz; 1GB RAM. Hauppauge Media MVP (D3A). Hauppauge Nova-T USB2
External aerial in a good (analogue) terrestrial TV reception area
When I connect to the PC via laptop (over MS Remote Desktop Connection), I get the message "This system does not appear to support VMR9. Please try a different renderer" ...even though I have the same .NET and DirectX and quartz.dll software installed (see below)
The PC also has a (Slim Devices) Slimserver running on it, but stopping that doesn't seem to make any difference to my problem
My LAN connections are currently wired, but I intend to have a wireless (802.11g) link between the PC and MVP in future
I use direct video and audio from my 3100 sat receiver. I cannot find anywhere in the configuration to use video / audio instead of channels. I'm sure it must be there, but cannot anyone tell me where the composite video setup is ??
And where can I download a manual for this ? Thanks in advance ...........
Currently, when the GBPVR GUI is running, write access to the Main Menu background image file is denied.
Would it be possible to allow replacement of this file while GBPVR is running and have GBPVR load the new background image the next time the Main Menu is displayed?
It would apear that the http://www.gbpvr.com site is down again. If sub doesnt mind can somone provide me with the latest gbpvr setup prgram. Thankx. you can pm with it or email it to clark251@gmail.com.
MyDVD is a great feature of MyVideos! I've one request though...
Would it be possible to have some form of menu on the DVDs. I use MyDVD to archive off multiple Frasier episodes, and without a menu it's very difficult (at least on my DVD player) to access the different episodes.
Some sort of menu like on commercial DVDs would be nice. I know its quite a complex procedure to create a menu with DVDAuthor (bespoke mpegs etc) with custom displays on it (i.e. titles etc).
What I was thinking of was having a number of precreated menus. One with one button, one with 2 buttons, one with 3 buttons etc etc say up to 10 buttons. The buttons could then easily be used to point to each of the recordings on the DVD in the XML file. No fancy labelling needed just 1,2,3 on each button etc. MyDVD could pick the relevant precreated menu depending on the number of recordings on the DVD.
Hello everybody,
Gbpvr is a great tool, but i didn't find a way to record a dual language channel. Some channels have dual audio options. E.g. you can view Euronews with french language or with english language. Did you know a way to record with Gbpvr the secondary audio (the second language) or both channels at the same time ?
I want to schedule a record with secondary (or both) audio. It there a way to do it other than changing the audiolang=1 in direct.ini. This way a can record the secondary audio, but all my recordings will have the secondary audio only. Any idea ?
We've had a "problem" with nickelodeon during the mornings. Our daughter watches about one hour of nickelodeon (the morning shows) when she gets home in the afternoon. The shows are about 10-15 minutes each, and the times in the EPG are very rarely accurate. So we get about 5 minutes of one show and 5 of the other in each recording :-( So yesterday I came up with the "brilliant" idea to just record the firet show and put a 65 minute post padding on it. She always only watches them all in a row and then we delete them anyway. But it was a PITA to press the right arrow 65 times to change the padding... I wish for the ability to just enter 65 with the number keys.
