I have searched the forums, but to no avail. My remote mappings are screwed in irremote.ini
I do remember sub posting something about this a while back, so perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.
The up, down, left and right buttons on the remote (hauppauge silver 34 buttons) do not allow me to navigate around the menus
The offending entries are:
I seem to recall that these got altered as a fix for the new 45 button remote.
I'm running version 90.10 of gb-pvr.
Any assistance would be very welcome!
I guess this isn't technically a GB-PVR question, but I know a lot of you have a similar setup, so I'm hoping someone has dealt with this before. I've been using GB-PVR for about the last 6 months and I love it. I decided to do a clean format/reinstall since my computer was running slowly and I had tons of stuff on there that I no longer use. I reinstalled XP Professional and got everything to work until I tried to install my two PVR-150's. My computer will not start with the cards enabled and the drivers installed. It flashes a brief blue screen of death and reboots right after the initial XP 'loading' logo.
My system is as follows: I've got a PVR-150 and a PVR-150MCE running with a GeForce FX 5500 and Turtle Beach Riviera on a Soyo K7VMP2 motherboard with AMD Athlon XP 2800+ and 1.25 gigs PC400 RAM.
I've tried the drivers that came with the cards, the ones downloaded from Hauppage and SHSPVR. I've updated all the drivers for everything else in the machine. I tried XP Pro and with SP1 and SP2. I've disabled on-board video and I've tried every ACPI setting. I've spent the last four hours on Google looking for a solution and I've hit a wall. I guess I should have left well enough alone, since everything was working yesterday. The computer works flawlessly when I disable both of the cards. Has anybody dealt with a similar problem before?
I have cured my stuttering live TV now by using pass-through. However I could have used Reclock . Has anybody that uses GB-PVR had any success with this?
For the PVR 500 Card I have configured two capture sources. For both I have chosen PVR500 MCE with FM tuner (maybe this is wrong?) One setup for device #1 and the other for device #2. the tuners have been configured manually (Channel Name and Channel).
Then I started a recording (this works fine). As long as the recording runs, live tv is not possible. It shows a message in the menu, that live tv does not run, because there is only one tuner.
So I upgraded my GBPVR PC this weekend. I have 2 capture cards and was wondering how I would be able to tell which card had which external tuner attached to it in GBPVR's eyes. Then I had a brilliant plan, I'd install one capture card first, make sure it works, then installing the second, by process of elimination, "there are only 2", should be a snap. So I install the first tuner on Saturday, everything is great. It's quite late by the time I finish so put off the second tuner until the next day. Finally, last night I had a few minutes and decided to install the second tuner. First tuner was capture device #1, this tuner should be capture device #2. Great I'm good to go. Now as of yet, I believe I'm missing codecs, since I can't use the PC to view videos on GBPVR, so I'm not able to test on the PC. I have to run to 2 seperate rooms to check the status of the tuners on 2 seperate MVP's. But really why should I have to check, I set it to the next device. Later that evening, tried to watch a recording I'd scheduled, it was the wrong channel. The wife then informs me that she was not able to change channels all night since I was messing with it, "I did get the audible alarm that the TV was being used and to stop playing with the computer". So now I set up live TV on both MVP's remember can't test on the PC that's in the basement. Sure enough, I can't change channels. The video stops and restarts as if a channel is changing, but the external tuner is not changing the channel. Hmmm, somethingwrong with the usb uirt. reinstall drivers, try every USB port on the new PC, nothing. To make a long story a little shorter, during all my testing of various combinations of messing with the USB UIRT, I noticed that when I changed the channel on the living room MVP, I notice the bedroom TV's glow "it's 1:00 AM" change. Sure enough, changing the channel on 1 MVP was causing the other to change. Went into config and reversed the capture source number and everything is as sweet as pie.
Just thought someone else may find this funny. I had to laugh at myself last night when I found the problem. Amazing how sometimes you can chase the wrong path for so long before realising it.
As a side note, does anyone know how the capture device #'s are assigned to a specific card, I'm just curious. By PCI slot number maybe?
I have a strange question about the MVP and gbpvr.
Both products work fine. However when attempting to switch via AV to other tv channels ( in a configuration where MVP is using only for MPEG and MPG playback - and not live tv - for the moment, until I get wiring sorted ) - it does not work.
Specifically. I have to completly power off the MVP to get back other channels. If I simply power off the MVP using the green button on the remote, I get sound back, but no video.
A browse of the support site, led me to this;
Software updates, utilities and sample media
MediaMVP version 2.4
mediamvpsetup_2.4 release 23096
Updates in this version:
* SCART connector now powers off when turning off your MediaMVP using the green power button on the remote control
Now I figure this may assist, as long as I am not using gb-pvr, as I understand that when using gb-pvr that gb-pvr provides a kernel using tftp to the mvp box, so the update will be ignored. Can anyone shed some light on this. Is the updated kernel from the mvp release above already included with gb-pvr ( In which case I am barking up the wrong tree )
Hi,
I did a search on the IR200L and got kinda lost in all the info. I just got one from MyTVstore.com and installed it. It did not come with any software (do I need any?) just a small sheet regarding win95 install nothing on how to set it up. I have it on com 2 and I set it up in GBPVR config on com 2 and of corse I do not know what plugin to try so I gave them all a go and none of them work. So my firt question is I guess I have to make my own? Can one of you point me in that direction? My second question is even if I used the wrong plugin would that cause GBPVR to crash? When testing the other 3 plugins when I hit live TV it just hangs GBPVR at 100% cpu and I have to kill it. If I go back in the config and use no changer it starts TV ok. I am running ver 92.11 of GBPVR on XP home (sorry I did not mention before the IR blaster is installed in windows I installed it manualy under ir devices) and am trying to change on a Bell Expressvu 6100 HD reciever.
