I'm having a problem with the sound starting to stutter and skip after watching tv for an hour or so. The video seems ok but the sound is gone or skipping. If I exit to the menu or tv listings and got back to tv it works again.
It occurred to me that there are two posting styles on the forum.
One where one thread continues for a very long time (such as webadmin) and another where every new topic related to a certain utility is published in a new thread (Comskip).
I was wondering if there is any preference between the two?
I am in the process of setting up my first MVP with GBPVR. So far, I am getting mixed results - I can get it to work, but it loses connectivity especially when viewing live tv. I am using wireless 54g - singal strength is strong. I think I must have configured something incorrectly. Would some mvp - gbpvr expert please provide step by step instructions? I loaded the latest mvp software from hauppauge and disabled the hauppauge mvp gui service - leaving the hauppauge mvp media service active. This works, but I do not know if that is optimal and is causing my problem(s).
sound is completely gone. it only works sometimes. if it does happen to be working, after one recording it is gone, until a couple of reboots later. sometimes it will not work for a few hours, but sound works everywhere but livetv. any ideas on what to do/check.
switching the decoders/renders does not have any effect either.
I have recently changed to the option to get the epg data from the dvb broadcast but since doing so i have lost my channel icons in the tv guide, apart from two (Channel Four and E4) i am in the uk.
Any ideas anyone.
Just installed gbpvr and when watching livetv, the first channel is fine until i change channels. It shows the next channel for about 5 seconds then it goes back to the menu.
I see this in the log but does not know what it means.
I've just gotten set up with a new Hauppauge pvr350 card in a decent older pc (1GHz PIII, 512ram, DVD drive, WinXP) with wired network access. I already have DVDs ripped to the HD and lots of mpeg files. The whole point of setting up the PVR is to watch them on the big TV instead of the PC. I already have a TiVo (still the best user interface, not much capacity on mine tho and cant play files from the network not recorded by it, plus only a 802.11a net connection via usb1, yuck). So, I set playback to use the 350's tv output. Works fine for live tv and recording and playing back from the tuner. However, when I try to play one of the dvds on the HD (ripped with DVD Decrypter) I just get black. Same with most of the mpeg files. I think I found one mpg that worked. If I turn off the 350's output and just use the pc monitor, I can play back any video file from the gbpvr interface. But after starting a dvd file playing, gbpvr stopped responding. The remote didnt work and the only way to get out of the dvd was to end task. So, I'm wondering what I'm missing. I'm also wondering what makes this pvr350 so great if it can only output what it has recorded? I guess it has to use hardware decoding for everything going out of it, instead of codecs loaded on the pc? I have an ATI all-in-wonder that I could install and use for the output to the tv, but I like having the dedicated tv output on the 350 in addition to the vga out to a monitor. Lets me do maintenance/setup. Plus there's the issue of the audio coming out the 350 vs the sound card for different things. I haven't even attemped anything divx related. Is there a 'best' way to set the stuff up that I'm not seeing or am I missing a critical driver or config option or plugin or something? btw I just upgraded the Hauppauge drivers to 2.2 and same thing.
Thanks
Just a small request: When installing GBPVR, the GBPVRTray.exe shortcut goes in to the current user's startup folder. Could this please be changed to the all users startup folder instead? This would be helpful to those of us with installs on shared computers and shouldn't bother the dedicated systems at all.
