I have encountered a crash bug for the following setup:
* GBPVR 09112b
* Twinhan DVB-T
* Cyberlink PowerDVD v4, and Cyberlink PowerDVD v6.
* Windows XP
* Via EPIA M10000
* AutoGK (Gordian Knot) latest stable.

I have setup Cyberlink as my mpeg encoder, BDA recording plugin for Twinhan, Bleb (UK) source and no channel changer. When I press "map digital channels to EPG channels" I get a sequence of errors:

1. "You will not be able ot record or timeshift live TV until you install Cyberlink... MPEG2 multiplexer"...
2. Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Debug Library, Debug assertion failed. Program config.exe, file: Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\atlcomcli.h, line 150. Expression p!=0.
3. ... then a string of uncaught exceptions and a crash on the way out.

Please advise.

M.

Hope you can help me...

My PostProcessing.bat does not seem to be running. Here is an excerpt from gbpvrrecordingservice.exe.log at the end of a recording:

I don't know what happened. LiveTV was working up to a point. Now I only get a black screen.

When I turn off LivePreview I get this error: "error: Failure Playing back file".

I've tried uninstalling and deleting the program directory and re-installing. But it doesn't help.

Here's a log (GBPVR.exe-native.log) file snippet.

Has anybody else seen the following error which I have just started getting for no obvious reason on my MVP.

Unexpected error in DrawImage: The object is currently in use elsewhere.

on the screen you get a large message box with an ok button but of course you cant press the button on the mvp.

any suggestions greatly received

I have had this card (Creative dxr3) for a while now and it gives great results if you use it with either realmagic or creative software, but i would like to know if i can get it to work with gb pvr, thanks. Gaz

I'm having a repeatable problem when fastforwarding/rewinding/skipping using the MVP during playback of a program which is currently recording. FF/RW/Skip work fine with programs that have already recorded. Also, though I haven't tested as thuroughly, it seems that I have the same issue when I pause live TV, though the "blank" button does bring be back to live, as it should.

Basically, instead of skipping 30 seconds (what I configured in the Config app), it skips some random amount, sometimes to the end of the program, sometimes to the beginning, sometimes a random number of minutes. There seems to be no pattern. This occours with either ff/rw or skip.

Again, all is fine with programs that have already recorded.

I haven't tested on the Client softwar,e only on the MPV.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? I am on the release 12b.

Thanks,

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone else had a problem with a PVR-150 not out putting sound for some broadcast channels? I traced the problem to the card not outputting if it detects a mono audio source. The wierdness is that if I disconncet my antennea then plug it back in after the static, it will then give me stereo audio.

I just thought with alot of hauppage card owners, maybe someone had a similar problem and had a solution. Thanks.

Does this product have beter FF functions than the standard Hauppage 2.2 software ?
The buttons 1-9 offer some 'jump to' functionality but they result in audio/video sync problems.
I miss a function where I can make an MPG start at for example 23 minutes.
I had this before on my KISS DVD player...

Stupidly went into Config to check out channel maps while TV was on, and of course the moment it tried to start the channel preview - bang. Full-on reboot.

My own fault, but perhaps a situation that could be trapped and handled gracefully?

As I'm not up on my coding, I thought I'd contribute something back to this project by helping out with the documentation on the Wiki.

I've added some content to The MVP section of the Wiki but need your help for content. A few points are captured from postings, but could use more clarity.

If you have anything that you would like to see in there, either post it here or Private Message me and I'll add it in.
