I am about to purchase the hardware to build my own system. My cable system has two sepate feeds (an "A" and a "B" cable) meaning that I have to set up the system to handle 2 sources. I am considering purchasing two of the Hauppague WINTV 150's. Is purchasing two cards the best way to go? Is the 150 the model to go with? Does gbpvr support multiple sources?
A couple things on the latest ME Skin that i've discovered:
* My Music doesn't show up just yet ( i think i already knew that you were still working on this??)
* The OSD (is that what's called?) when i'm watching Live TV covers a little more than the screen and has some "code" on it
Other than that, i look forward to enjoying it once all the plugins get hooked up with the new version!
I've just bought the tv-tuner mentioned above and am trying to make it work with the gb-pvr...when i try to update epg it tells me that i should select a EPG Source...any help?? what should i choose?? something about XMLTV Plugin i have read if you live outside US...I live in Greece...any recommendations I would appreciate...thanks in advance...
Hello, I dont have PVR or MVP as yet.
What I am after doing I am not so sure if the solution has already been posted.
I have a TV in one room and a PC in another.
It's all broadband wireless'd up(if thats such a word!) .
I have put the ADSL/Broadband router next to the TV now.
I have a shed load of videos etc on the pc in the other room and wanted to stream it to the tv. Also I was hoping to PVR from the satelite box also connected to the tv.
(At the moment I have a wireless video sender from the satelite box straight to my PC (playing & recording through showshifter))
With the video sender, GB-PVR & MVP is it possible to do all this & as importantly how?
I have spent over 12 months looking at a solution but as yet havnt found anything that does both streaming video and recording a tv signal back to a tv.
Thanks
Martin
I've set up GBPVR with a Hauppauge PVR350 using the 350's output mode: however the DVD option disappears when I do this (it worked using software playback). Is there a way to re-enable it?
Well I've just about got my no sound issue licked (the only channels w/ out sound now are the family channel and disney which I suspect I can get by w/out).
I'm pretty sure I can speak to how to completely solve this issue w/ The Hauppage 150. There seem to be two issues at work, fine tuning and cable signal strength. The tuning I'm not going to worry with (see my list of channels I'm still having trouble with above) The other I discovered when I added a signal booster to my cable system and suddenly most of my sound was working.
Now to my question. Using the Hauppauge I'me getting good quality but when there's something white onscreen (Like a room w/ a white background) It just washes out the area of the screen it's in. Is there any adjustment I'm not seeing to help w/ this?
I updated to the latest last night and experienced problems playing avi's (divx or xvid) through the video library. AVI's freeze after a few seconds. These files worked fine with version 908 (released in february). I had the same problem with the previous release and went back to ver 908 and all was fine. I would like to be able to get past this problem so I can use the current release.
What I have tried so far:
Uninstalled GBPVR completely including directories, ran regclean.
Uninstalled .net 1.1 and re-installed. Re-installed GBPVR 0.92.8
What I will try tonight:
See if same problem occurs with mpeg file
See if an avi on the C drive where gbpvr is installed will play correctly (My avi's are all on a different drive)
Try capturing something new and see if this file will work correctly.
I realize that you may need logs to diagnose what is wrong. I will try to post them tonight but I was hoping maybe someone has had this problem and fixed it somehow. Did anything change concerning the xcard since Feb 05?
Instructions for setup of GB-PVR and MVP need updated, like recomended defaults and what they mean, the instructions do not reflect the current choices and there ramifications i.e. ffdshow and how to use it-postprocessing and transcodeing and such. How and what other progs. need to be installed to maxamize functionally for the new releases. Having them all in one location would simplify setup for first time users.
