After discovering how lousy ATI's software package was, I finally found GB-PVR. However, I am having a problem with the setup. I set the recording source as "Direct Recording Plugin" and selected "ATI TV Wonder Elite" as the capture card type. I then set the EPG source as "Zap2it" and created an account using the link. However, when I click on "update EPG," I receive the error "Your EPG source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG Source Settings and try again" immediately after it starts the update process.
Any suggestions would be helpful, as I refuse to go back to the ATI software, or pay $70 for another program. :confused:
Thanks,
John

I'm experiencing locks-ups. I'll be watching a recorded program, I'm not ff'ing, or anything, just watching. After some time - seems to be after twenty min or so usually, the screen will abruptly show the blue screen filled with white characters. I can't read anything - it goes black in a half second. i also get a burst of static on audio. Happens ever time I try to watch a video.
The computer's fan continues to run. If cap's lock is on, that stays on, but can't be then turned off. CR rom can be opened, it sounds like HD is still spinning. I can't get any more info becasue screen stays black. cntrl-alt-del doesn't do anything. I can sometime hold power button for a few seconds to "reboot" but pulling the power plug altogether works better.
I'm using a soyo mothor board with INTEGRATED video. The integrated TV out is my sole output, no monitor. I run XP pro with all updates. I have the last major GBPVR intall, but not the latest minor release ( everything was running so great, i don't want to mess with anything. Input is through a HAP 150 and I'm using the default software decoder.
Is it a bad motherboard/video "card" - or something that is software related? Any input is really appreciated!
My Videos: If I simply use the virtual root settings to point to the same folders (now in different locations), will I get all my downloaded info and pictures back? Or do I have to make changes in My Database?
XRecord: I have recorded shows and archived shows. Again, if I point GB-PVR to the new Recordings directory and point XRecord to the new archive directory, will the shows re-appear in XRecord with all the info intact? Or do I need to use the Export command in some way?
Thanks guys for these superb plug-ins for an already excellent program. Keep up the good work!
I have recorded several tv shows, VBR 3000kbps (4400kbps peak), 384kbps audio, and am attempting to watch them on my MVP via the GPVR/MVP server.
Unfortunately, the video stutters when playing the video files on the MVP from GBPVR...I was certain that I had found a combination of quality v bitrate which my computer is happy to send across my network to the MVP and was shocked to see it stuttering.
Then I remembered that I was doing my playback testing using the Hauppauge MVP server when I found the compression setting :o
It would seem that there is something that the Hauppauge server is doing that the GBPVR server is not doing...can anyone point me in the right direction to where I can find out what 'settings' the Hauppauge server is using so I can match them in the GBPVR configuration?
tiny tiny tiny update, two lines of extra code. i was having trouble with zetamame32, when running through my programs, and discovered i hadnt set the working directory when launching a rom, so now the working directory is set to the path of the exe file. hopefully if anyone had any trouble getting a few emulators to work in the past this will help now.
eg if emulator exe was C:\games\emulators\mame.exe
and it looks for a config file "config.ini" in the same path, without setting the working path it might look for it in "C:\config.ini" thus causing a problem.
so teeny weeny little update, but important.
on and if any one knows of any mame emulators which allows you to position the screen (to adjust for overscan) can you post them here, zetamame32 is the best ive found but still not 100% satisified with it.
Well....I am 1/2 way through my upgrade of my PC. I took care of the most important moves first....e-mail and then GBPVR, my video library and the two PVR-150's to my new machine.
Just wanted to state I am having no issues running GBPVR with the Athon 64 3200+ running Windows XP Pro SP2 (32-Bit).
I have also added a second switch between the MVP and the GBPVR server. They are gigabit switches and there seems to be no issues there either.
Is it possible for USB UIRT to recieve a signal for like volume up from my hauppauge 45 button remote and then transmit the volume up signal for my tv and so on and so forth so like I could basically use it to make my remote control work similar to a programmable remote?
If not is there any chance we could get this kind of control in a later release of gbpvr??
I can't get live TV to work keeps coming up with error about not being set. I have the card working on beyondtv. but no sount on wintv. I tried GB-PVR because of the cost has anyone had this card working
I ran ZapImport manually today (it failed for some reason last night) and I saw it's taking up 99% CPU and about 140,000K+ of memory. Since it runs late at night (when I don't record anything), I don't think I'm *too* concerned, except that I noticed my computer crashes about once a week or so while it's running (no blue screens reported in Event Viewer).
My PVR is stand-alone (attached only to the 'Net and a TV), so I don't check it every day. I'm concerned that one week it won't come back up & I'll miss some of my recordings. Has anyone else seen this happen? Thanks for any info.
I am getting a hard crash when trying to play a recorded mpeg from Video Library.
The error is in ivivideo_hauppauge.ax
I thought it may be because of my custom GOP (I have it set to 5), so I did a fix GOP in womble, and it still crashed.
I thought it was maybe from mpgtx editor in comclean, so I made a recording without it. Still crash.
I changed the GOP back to default 15, still crash.
I can play avi's with no problem, but mpg's all crash.
Would this be the fault of the ivivideo_hauppauge.ax module, or is it possibly from a missing or corrupt mp2 audio decoder, not related to gbpvr?
Here's the info I could find:
AppName: gbpvr.exe AppVer: 1.0.1984.11204
ModName: ivivideo_hauppauge.ax
ModVer: 4.5.28.238 Offset: 000372ad
EDIT: nevermind. I tried the latest hauppauge decoder, crash.
I tried the one from shspvr, crash.
I finally loaded version 4 from the driver CD, and now no crash. I get no on-screen FF/RW, etc., but at least it doesn't crash.
