I would like to MUTE the master valume on my sound card when exiting MyAlbums 2. If I don't then the TV records also play over my whole house speaker system. Any ideas?

At first I thought I was out of luck getting a MediaMVP Localy because the RadioShack I was at didn't seem to know how to check their inventory correctly. Anyway I went to another RadioShack that didn't have the MVP but knew how to check the inventory for the other store's and he located a store that had 2 left. It turns out that RadioShack has discontinued selling them so all remaining units are on clearance for $40!

So if you want one, go to RadioShack. If they don't have one, have them check for other local stores that do and have them hold it for you.

So I've got listings and live TV working, but I can't get recording working properly. There's some kind of wierd path issue going on...

I've got my recording path (I:\ShortTerm\pvr) set in config, and when the recording service starts, it gets the recording path properly. But when it tries to start recording, I get an error about it being unable to "find a part of the path" of just the root of the drive (I:\). But it still continues as if it is recording. See the attached log for what I mean.

Sometimes, when this happens, I can restart the recording service, and it will start recording to a file with no extension in the gbpvr directory (which is on a different drive entirely.) But it doesn't do this consistently.

If anyone could point me toward a solution, that would be great.

And could the powers that be on the forum please add .log to the supported extensions list? I don't see what the point of making us rename the files is.

I thought I would post the details of a problem I just worked through, just in case someone else runs into it.

This all happened I was first trying to set up the EPG for my capture source; I first tried to set up xmltv listings, since I had already signed up for a zap2it labs account and set up xmltv's tv_grab_na_dd to get listings for use with my other apps. When I tried to update the EPG, it would get through the "Reading XMLTV Listings" step, but during "Saving new listings and channel information", it would pop up something along the lines of "ChannelFactory::StoreChannels(): unknown error".

When I closed config and re-opened it to try again, my original recording source had disappeared.

A quick trip to Google, and I found the only hit in the old forum about ChannelFactory::StoreChannels(), which was talking about a different error, but one that looked like an SQL error message. On a hunch, I found the mdb and opened it in Access. Although a big mess of tables showed up in the listing, when I actually tried to open any of them, I got a message box saying just "Unknown", and an Access crash. Luckily, I happened to tell the error reporting to do it's thing, because the online crash analysis actually came up with something! That's only the second time it's ever been useful for me, in however many years of using XP, but both times it has saved me a lot of footwork.

It had picked up a knowledge base article (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=905530) that described a different problem, but as it turns out one with the same root cause (and a crash at the same address -- the reason that OCA picked it up).

So, I followed the instructions and did a quick

regsvr32 msjtes40.dll

in my Windows\System32 directory, to reregister the "Jet Expression Services" dll. After a quick check with Access again, I fired up Config, set up my EPG again, and my listings loaded flawlessly.

I am new to all this although I had my Hauppauge PVR350 for a while. I only ever used it to watch TV. Recently I have attached a freeview box and I am feeding the signal into the external tuner of the pvr350 instead of the antenna box. The antenna box is now connected to my vcr which I like to use to capture my vhs collection and convert it to dvd.
I have tried capturing live tv and from the vcr with the wintv2000 software that comes with the card (although I have installed the latest version from hauppauge.de), but I get these stripes when there is sudden movement in the recording. i was told it might be an interlace problem but I don't know how to fix it.
With gbpvr i dont get a picture at all. The software keeps telling me that I don't have drivers installed for the device i want to use (hauppauge pvr350).
when I click on live tv it says that i dont have epg configured although I have a channel list from Bleb UK imported nd saved.

I have read through the wiki page but I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
Any help appreciated!

Hello there,

I've got a problem according the DVD navigation in GBPVR#09413. After starting a DVD I can't use the remote control anymore. Trying to navigate through any DVD menu (as well as skipping scenes etc) using the remote control has no effect. I have to do this by mouse.
In one situation when I tried out all button an the remote control something interesting happened: The computer went to hibernation. My explanation is, that GBPVR was still active in the background listening to the remote control when accidently hit the "shutdown" button.

I'm using a Hauppage PVR USB2. And yes, I have enabled the "Hauppage Remote Control Fix".

Is there anybody who can help me? Thanks in advance

Peter

This is a minor bugfix solving some possible crashes and a small error in the shrink_logo processing
It also solves a problem with the CSV file in combination with NTSC

No need to upgrade if you have no problems.

All versions can be downloaded from http://mk.kaashoek.com/gbpvr/

I've been using GB-PVR for a while, but this is my first post on the forum I've also had this problem for a while, but it's finally driven me nuts!

Sometimes when I schedule a recording, the GB-PVR recording service will crash right at the start of the programme, so I end up with a 0 byte mpeg file. This will only happen on the second or subsequent recordings after the PC is first booted, never the first recording of the day (the PC is not on 24/7). It also only happens when recording on certain channels (BBC 3 for example). The channels are tuned in correctly, and I have set the frequency in the DVB-t tuning ini file to the one reported by WinTV 2000 for each mux. If I restart the recording service I will get a perfect recording, but obviously with the first part missing. I don't know if it's related, but some channels (ITV 2 from memory, possibly BBC 3) show up with a green bar filling 1/4 of the screen when viewed in Live Preview mode.

Another (I suspect) unrelated problem, but every time I click "OK" in the config app, I will get a .net runtime error (with "continue" or "quit" buttons), guaranteed.

I've attached a screenshot of the recording service error. The recording service is set to automatically restart on failure, but Windows doesn't detect a failure and restart it until I click "OK" on the error message dialog, so I still miss all my recordings if I'm out and the service crashes!

I am using the following setup -

Athlon 3500+, 1Gb RAM, Nova-t 90002 TV card, Win XP SP2, Cyberlink Mux

Any ideas?

These are my log files from a crash yesterday. The first log file goes up to the point where the recording service crashed -

Sorry, but this is a dumb question.

Basically, I uninstalled a bunch of software from Windows XP, all what I thought was free (crappy) software that came with most of my hardware. Well, I must have uninstalled my MPEG-2 Decoder at some point, because I couldn't play MPEGs through GBPVR or WMP. I also couldn't watch live TV with GBPVR (only got the sound).

I checked the config tool and it had no video or audio decoders listed.

So, I installed the Cyberlink PowerDVD demo. Windows media player now plays video again, with sound.

I went through config, set things up, but I still have no sound in GBPVR (except live TV). I think I have tried every combination of audio decoder (options are MPEG audio decoder or Cyberlink audio decoder) with every choice of renderer.

So... no sound. Anyone have any ideas.

Sorry in advance, I hate no having any idea what I'm doing, and sorry to be asking dumb questions.

Ok, after i've my system smoothed out, i got one last thing,
whenever the osd or the guide is onscreen the picture has a slight stutter in it.
Every second or so. It happens with vmr9 & 7 and overlay.
A different playback decoder is no option since i only get good results with the Intervideo ones. All others produce a horizontal pan stutter.
Is this something that i have to live with or can i get it out ?
