Hi,
Just got an MVP. For the most part I'm very impressed with it and the way it works with GB-PVR from a 1Ghz PC that is accessing an EPIA 5000 TV card and folders. I have a number of small problems though, if someone knows the answer to these it would be appreciated:
1. Hauppauge MVP settings (before I started using the GBPVR dongle) says RGB detected when I first powered it on. When I go into standby and turn it back on settings is now showing composite - RGB is not available in the list. It still looks like RGB, I think. I'm guessing its just a software fault but that the actual unit is still using RGB. Is this a common problem - I have revision D3A.
2. I get a green/purple wavy line at the bottom of any screens. When I use the MVP positioner plugin it just truncates the bottom of the GBPVR screen. The last 2 inches of the screen remain black with the wavy line. I don't mind it being at the top of the screen rather than the middle but its the green line I don't like. I realise that this is a TV related problem but if I could just move the entire MVP screen down a few lines that would clear the problem. Is there any way to do this please?
3. Sometimes my connection is dropped but it seems to be after I use a particular plugin so I'll monitor that one.
4. Cannot get Live TV to work but this is probably due to my configuration: PC upstairs running GB-PVR MVP server, PC downstairs which actually has the TV card in it and the video and music folders. I can watch TV that is being recorded if I watch it like a pre-recorded video but nothing appears if I try it from Live TV.
By the way GBPVR is quite responsive from a 1Ghz athlon that is streaming files from the EPIA 5000 PC. Running GBPVR server on the EPIA itself, as was expected, is very slow - about 5 seconds per button press - but it does work so I'm impressed!
I have a strange error message box when installer pop-ups:
"Error 1324. The folder path:"Mes documents" contains an invalid charater".
It is the fisrt time i read such an error. Installation abort.
(On my computer, "Mes documents", that i dont want to be used for temp, or any installation files, is on a sepate partition.)
I am really wanting to make a skin , ALA XBMC PMIII style. I am willing to do the work, but i'm not keen on the workings. Would someone be interested in co-developing it with me here???
I just need assistance. For those not into that scene, it is an XBOX media center program, and the skin used is pretty nice actually. I actually helped a lot fixing/making 2 different very popular skins for the xbmc, but this is a lot different for me. SO i can definetely use help with someone to make it.
I am having trouble finding channels using the set-up scan.
there are 5 FTA channels in my area (Melbourne Australia) and occsaionally the scan detects one, but usually none.
I have used other programs such as the Twinhan rubbish I got with the card (very buggy) so I know they there and my signal strength and quality are ok.
I see that the one sucessful scan returns this string.
Nine Guide (T:C8,191500,0,0,7~P:1074~V:517~A:700~PMT:258~N:>Nine Guide)
Given that I know this data for the other channels, can I manually enter it somewhere? (If so what sort of editor ASCII/text etc. )
This is a great program and I am looking forward to being able to use its potential.
I am new to this forum. I have been using GB-PVR for about 3 months now. great work guys.
Couple days ago when I was watching a recorded show, I paused it for too long. When I returned to watch the show, there was no audio during playback. Restarting the program/computer didn't help. I tried changing the audio decoder selection under GB-PVR config playback tab but still nothing happened. I've installed the latest version (posted sept-17) hoping it would fix the problem. No luck there. Now I've noticed that there is no audio playback even when watching live TV. When I use the Hauppage WinTV2000 software, I have no trouble getting the audio playback. Help please!
As with all releases, I recommend you do a backup before installing this release.
Changes include:
Quote:2005-09-17 v0.94.12
- Fixed up bug that could cause problems when updating the channel list in the config app. This was pretty serious, and prompted this specific release.
- Fixed a minor bug with jumping directly to the next channel off the the bottom of the TV Guide.
- Fixed a bug where file duration was not updated when playing back in-progress recordings on the MVP.
- Fixed a bug with playback of MPEG-1 files.
- Live preview mode should now work on the Hauppauge clone cards based on the Conexant reference designs. for example AverMedia M150 etc
- Fixed a bug that was causing the InterVideo Audio decoder to not be used.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a crash if teletext was enabled on a machine without the Microsoft WST codec installed.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the first recording of a season recording to be skipped for zap2it users with 'no duplicates' enabled.
- Fixed a bug that could cause zap2it to return their default 4 days of data because they couldnt understand the date range parameters passed by GB-PVR.
- GBConvert.exe now ensures the machine will not hibernate during file transcoding.
I am about to get the TwinhanDTV I think, but any suggestions/advice regarding which of these 2 value for money cards would be best? Is the TwinhanDTV OK? (reliability, integration with GB-PVR {I see the twinhanDTV is mentioned in the wiki} etc)
Hi, I hope somebody can help me. Am trying to automatically activate hibernation in Windows XP SP2. I know it is supported, since my board is ACPI compliant. I have setup all the Power Options correctly, set hibernation to 15 minutes, but the system will not hibernate. Hibernation works if I activate it manually either through the START button or through the SHUTDOWN plug-in from the MVP. I have check all my services, I have even tried to disable other services, but still to no avail. I don't know what to do next. I can't find what is preventing Windows from hibernating automatically.
