I'm utterly new to all this PVR stuff so please bear with me
I've been led to believe that under a standard configuration the MediaMVP is only capable of playing certain formats. When integrated with GBPVR does this limitation remain? Or put a different way, what video/audio formats is GBPVR capable of streaming to other PCs or the MediaMVP?
I'm a newbie to all of this, so your help will be much appreciated :o
I installed GBPVR09413 on my system for use with my WinTV-PVR-150 (single tuner only), but everytime a pre-scheduled TV-Guide recording starts I receive an error similar to the following ...
[
GBPVRRecordingService.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0x1a4 (420), Thread id=0x4d0 (1232)
Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application.
]
If I click on CANCEL, I receive the following error ...
[
GBPVRRecordingService.exe - No debugger found.
Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2 (2). Please check computer settings.
cordbg.exe !a 0x1a4
Click on Retry to have the process wait while attaching a debugger manually.
Click on Cancel to abort the JIT debug request.
]
While these errors are received, GBPVR still records the program, however, it does not stop recording when the stop time is reached. Instead, it will continue recording until every gig is consumed.
Like I said, I'm new to this, so please let me know if there are any specific log files I should provide here for support.
I have problem with trying to use the Windows Hibernation mode. I have this setup so that the unit will hibernate after 15mins on inactivity. This works fine for recordings as the PC will wake, record and then go back to hibernation mode. However, if I'm trying to watch a movie via the MVP, then it will go into hibernation mode after about 20 mins. I have tried the BIOS setting for power management and I have come to the conclusion that Windows XP works independently of these. I surfed the microsoft home page and found a this article
There is no user input.
⢠CPU and disk utilization levels are less than 10 percent.
⢠The system is not running on battery power.
⢠No presentation program, such as a slide show or a movie player, is running.
I monitored my PC and during playback there is virtually no CPU usage and I assume that the disk monitoring is either not working or the large 8Mb cache is keeping the disk below this usage level. I even underclocked the PC ( 133FSb to 100FSB ), and CPU usage rose to 2-4% , but it still goes into standby.
So, how to solve the problem ?
Sub - is there any hooks in to the MVP playback server at the start and end of playing a file, so I can add something to suppress entering standby/hibernation. -OR- could this be added to the main GBPVR code. ?
Or maybe someone else has already solved this problem.
Just a very quick question, I'm looking to do a test setup using an old TV-Card before launching myself fully into the HTPC/PVR arena. Can anyone let me know if GBPVR will work with a Hauppauge WinTV 880 Video Capture card?
I'm particularly interestested in GBPVRs client server model, if this card is compatible would these features be limited in anyway?
Has anyone any experience of using Audio/Video senders with gbpvr ?
I have a Hauppauge 350 and an MVP
I currently exclusivley use the MVP for viewing, but I'd like to send the output of gbpvr to another TV in the house and rather than buy another MVP I thought I'd investigate using a Audio/Video sender [tescos in the uk have one for £25] against the £50 for another mvp.
I think I could use the output from the 350 and my soundcard as the input to the AV sender is that correct ?
Can I use the 350 output and drive an mvp at the same time [different actual sound & video obviously]
The AV sender claims to be able to send ir codes back to another device would this work with the 350 ?
I've had GBPVR on my PC for at least 9 months, and it's been working fairly well up until the last month. I've wiped my HDD and started again and now I can't get MVP to work with GPPVR. I've since re-installed XP again
My basic setup is this, GBPVR v09413, XP SP2 (firewall disabled) 2.4G Athon, 385mb RAM, PVR350, MVP all connected to switch, two other PC's on statics and a broadband router connected. Router IP is 192.168.0.1, PC that's on all the time is 192.168.0.3, The router has a DHCP server.
I've tested the connection with Hauppauge MVP software and it works fine, although it's not a patch on GBPVR. So I disable the servces and enable 1 MVP and still get the 3 bars on the first screen.
What am I doing wrong? It's been working fine. Can someone help me diagnose the problem. It's really getting on my nerves now

Perhaps we could have some regional user forums as many things like XMLTV sources and tuning advice (issues with the MS NZ Tuner settings etc) apply specifically to NZ and would bore others. This way it gives people a good place to start looking for issues that they are likely to meet.
I have a fresh computer that I am trying to install gbpvr on. I install Microsoft .NET and then intsall GBPV09211. After the installation while it starts the initial configuration an error immediatly pops up saying, "

I have no idea what it means and am hoping to get it fixed. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing, restoring, so I am just not sure. Any info would be helpfull. Thank!
