I´m planning to move all my media and tv-tuner(s) to a dedicated "media server". A machine that
is always on or in hibernate mode. Today I have one computer as a GBPVR-server and use MVP as a client.
Everything works perfect with EPG-updates and wake up´s from hibernate when a recording is scheduled.
Now to the questions. Is there an easy way to access the server tv-tuners from other PC´s
in my homenetwork? All i really need is to watch live tv from client computers and be able to
switch channel. I´ve read som tips here on the forum about this but it seems a bit to much "trial and error" to me.
SageTV client can handle this but I rather use GBPVR.
My other question is how to setup my media server to wake up from hibernate when a client computer
is trying to access media stored on the server?
I must not be seeing the forest for the trees, but I can't find any information about running GB-PVR without a tuner card, using instead an S-Video-In connection on a tuner-less card. I have an HIS Radeon X800 card with Video-In and Video-Out, and can view and record TV from my satellite STB using the ATI Multimedia Center software. I was hoping to control the STB using an UIRT from *some* PVR software, but so far GB-PVR, MediaPortal, and Windows MCE all seem to be somewhat oblivious to this whole realm, certainly in terms of supported hardware.
I am puzzled by this disconnect between tuner-based approaches and STB-based approaches (and I am not talking about HDTV at all here) -- is there a reason for this tuner-centricity? If anyone could shed some light, primarily on this whole general topic, I would be much obliged.
Thanks to all those involved in developing gbpvr, related plugins, and documentation to make it all work as smooth as it does. I remember emailing Hauppuage once asking them if they had any intentions of developing software to use their pvrs with the mvp to watch live tv. They more or less replied by stating that sounded like a good idea, but it was not possible. I'm surprised they develop hardware that is as good as it is with that attitude. Oh well, good to see others with great talent who do not think the same Keep on rockin'.
I have an Sapphire Theater 550 pro. Every channel I get is static. I have Zap2it as my EPG. My config is configured according to the FAQ as best I know. The tuning assistant displays the channels properly, but when I open the EPG, its static. Can anyone help?
I've seen in the Keyboard Reference documentation and in various posts in the forums, references to using F12 to exit GBPVR. I've looked through config.xml and all the new Keymap files, but can find no reference to F12 anywhere, nor any obvious way to enable it.
My questions are: Does this function key still work and if so, is there something I have to do manually to enable it?
I apologize in advance if I've missed something during my searching the forums for this.
I just installed GBPVR09413 today and now i'm having all sort of weird things.
1. Whenever I restart my pvr, it comes up asking for the install disk that has GBPVR09413.msi on it. I installed from a flash drive because i only have dialup at my house. But this also happens whenever I start recording a show, but the show records fine so far.
2. Just weird problems with the TvGuide. It sometimes doesn't want to displayanything at all. Also sometimes the LiveTv comes up with a connection refused because the machine denied it (something to that extent, thats what my wifes says atleast.
Is this just me or does anyone else have this problem?
First off... Hello all, just joined the forums and this is my first post. Forgive me if this topic has been covered, I didn't see the topic I needed. I was wondering the compatibility of GB-PVR with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? Will it co-exist without any drawbacks or loss of functionality? GB seems to have more features and I would like to try it out but I'm afraid it might mess with MCE somehow. Has Anyone tried this? Any Comments?
Thanks..
Since the beginning I have not been able to use certain disk space utilities within GBPVR. The only one that works is the one provided within Xrecord. The others would give me the oject error.
Video archiver features do not all work for me on my main setup which is what I use daily along with the wife. I just had to uninstall it because it was hanging GBPVR as it loaded. It would work intermittently. So until I figure out what is wrong it is more of an annoyance. I really want to figure out what the problem is. Please help me get Video Archiver running on my setup
Here is one error that I have seen often. Maybe this has something to do with it although I'm not sure. This is from the GBPVR.exe.log

After trying the Disk Space Report within Videos while running Video Archiver I found these errors within GBPVR.EXE.LOG

Using a Sapphire Theater 550 Pro in Windows XP Home. Latest drivers and latest GB-PVR im having a problem with 1 channel not coming up correctly.
Zap2it: Cable - Comcast Los Angeles
Channel 5 is tuning channel 27
When i go into Live TV and try to view channel 5 it actually shows me channel 27. Viewing channel 27 works fine. Using the tuning assistant doesnt show this problem. Tuning assistant shows the proper channel 5 and not channel 27.
Here is the info Tuning Assistant gave me for each channel
Channel: 5 Frequency: 66000000
Channel: 27 Frequency: 234000000
Keep on rockin'.
