The EPG Scanning is a Memory Eater!
For any Scanning its need more and more Memory, Please check
the Scanning-Programm!
I Have more than 30 Channels and when I place 512 MB Memory in my System, scannig hang with an Error (one error from config exe and one from drwatson!)
And when config.exe comes at more than 63.000k the cpu-load go to 100%
and then comes the error.
I seem to be having issues when ever I try and load a file with a "-" in the title. The system just locks up, if the file was on a dvd then I can eject the dvd to get control of the system back.
I finaly found a way to fix the screen resoltion problem I've been having. By rolling back the vid card drivers and installing the nero video codec I wa sable to get gbpvr to have the proper aspect ration when running in full screen mode using the vr9 setting. But now there is a noticible stutter in live tv, might a different codec fix this, or more ram (only have 128 in the box )
I am a new user trying to get WinTV PVR USB2 to work with gb-pvr. LiveTv playback runs fine, but most of the keys (all but 2) do not work as documented in the KeyboardReference. (Only Up and Down keys work sometimes, but none other like Ctrl-G or Ctrl-B or F1 etc.)
Same with the Hauppauge remote. Channel up and down works sometimes. All other keys do not work.
Well, my keyboard is working
Must be missing something basic, that I am having trouble with something so basic. Any ideas?
When I start GBPVR and either select a program to watch from EPG or try Live TV I get the following error:
"no connection could be made because target machine actively refused it"
The work around I use is to go into config, select a different capture source, then select and set up the BDA capture source that I have -- Fusion 5 Gold. This solution needs to be reapplied if have rebooted the computer.
As I wrote this, I tried another fix -- I just selected a different MPEG2 decoder. That fixed it. Again, not permanently -- only till the reboot. It seems that saving the config -- which causes the GB-PVR recordign services to restart correlates with the GBPVR working.
What is the root cause of the problem and how can I do a permanent fix?
I am having trouble following the instructions below for installing the xmedia Platinum skin. BTW, does this work with the latest version of GBPVR? My comments are in brackets.
1. Unzip XMEDIA_PV2_1.ZIP
2. Go inside the Desktop folder and copy all the shortcuts to your desktop screen
3. Unzip XMEDIA_PV2_2.ZIP
4. Go into the PLUGIN folder and copy all the plug-in to your GBPVR\PLUGINS
[What does this mean?]
5. Copy ULTRAID3LIB.DLL to GBPVR directory
6. Unzip P L A T I N U M.ZIP
7. Look into the P L A T I N U M for sub folders with the same name, make sure you take the one with the right folders
[Have no idea what this instruction means]
8. Copy ART folder or open the folder and copy and paste *.gif into your GBPVR\ART for XRecord Plug-in
[this is not clear to me either]
9. Copy the main P L A T I N U M folder with sub folders staring with archive to your GBPVR\SKIN directory
10. You should now have GBPVR\SKIN\P L A T I N U M folder
11. Start GBPVR CONFIG
12. IF you have MY PROGRAMS PLUG-IN installed go to step 17 otherwise step 12
[I don't; don't know what that is; this is step 12]
13. Select Plug-in, then click on MY PROGRAMS, then on settings, highlight Applications
[no idea about this instruction]
14. Add this line: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop (for username is what you used to login into Windows)
15. Check Startup with Applications
16. Click okay
17. Click Okay
18. Click on GBPVR
As you can see I am pretty ignorant about skins and plugins, but I would like to learn. The wiki is woefully lacking in basic instructions on how to install and configure skins and plugins esp. for novices. Is there any resource that I can use to come up to speed on using skins and plugins?
I was just wondering if anyone with the WinTV 150 setup has gotten the remote to work with GBPVR? And if so, please let me know what you've done because I can't get it to work for me.
I've been trying to put together an audio CD (my first one) for my wife. I wrote one track to a CD-R for test purposes, but it would seem I can't write any more tracks. Is this normal? Can I overwrite this track to use the rest of the CD-R or is it dead?
I'm using Nero Express. Does using the function "Track AT Once" make any difference.
I'm using main concept dvd encoder /decoder for dvd playback...Works for the most part but is kinda of choppy when people or things move fairly fast..Right now its fine..but like its off and on..IM using an 800mhz celeron with 256mb ram... Dvds play perfect in vlc or wmp..So idk
