I have the IR Blaster set up to talk to my cable box which works fine. When I set it up to record, it changes the channel then shuts down the recording service based on watching communication on the Sygate firewall. If I change the config to No Channel Changer Required, it records fine. I have tried having the Hauppauge IR program on and off, no change. Yesterday, somehow it worked for a while but when I turned the computer on today, it failed and I haven't been able to get it going again. The only consistency is turning the Hauppauge IR Changer off and have it work. Of course then I can't change channels! I have searched the forum and haven't been able to find anything.
Also, when I change the Quality Profile Setting, it doesn' stick. If I go back in, it is back at Medium.....
Other then my no sound during live tv the only remaining problem I have is that I can only record (on either tuner on the PVR-500) the current channel that I am tuned to on my cable box. Here is how I'm connected.
digital cable----cable box----splitter (other to TV)----pvr500----TV svideo
I have to have something configured incorrectly b/c I should be able to record 1 or 2 channels while watching another (if I am not watching live tv via GB-PVR and switch to my TV input).
Any help will be greatly appreciated these are the last two issue remaining (until I get my remote = )
Guys, I am tired of XP and it little things that bug me I would like to move to Windows 2003 Server, and I have heard from people on this board that it works with gbpvr,etc (even mediamvp).
My question is, when I go to install my PVR-500, what drivers do I use with it? Does it come with Windows 2003 drivers ? Can I use the XP drivers with Windows 2003?
Ok once I connected the soundcard out to the sound in of my TV I got sound during playback of my recordings (and net radio, etc...) but I get no sound while trying to view live TV.
Im having trouble getting my mvp to boot gbpvr using a crossover cable. If I boot hauppauge soft, put mvp in standby and then shutdown hauppauge soft and start gbpvr it will load gbpvr.
Things ive tried so far are:
copying dongle.bin to gbpvr folder and dongle folder.
fresh os install
various vs. of hauppauge
various static ip address
2 pc's laptop and pc
short cable, long cable
router using dhcp no crossover work
the laptop and pc both have 2 network cards one using dhcp through the router the other with a static ip for crossover.
Very nice job you have all done here gbpvr is sweet the amount of plugins and dev is unbelievable.
OK, working on new angle here. Apologies if its a dumb question.
I dont actually need my PVR-350 card. (especially after it stopped working).
What I have found is I dont really need to record terrestrial channels - I only use the svideo-in of the Wintv card to record/watch shows from my Telewest cable, because my terrestrial reception is bad.
So, my pvr-350 has gone caput, BUT wait - I still have my Sigma X-card. And it has Svideo-in.
Can i install that instead, and still record shows from my cable box, and play then back? Plus of course get the bonus of smooth DIVX playback? :-)
Sub - do you do a 'no-TV card' option, ie S-video in only? I like the PVR-350, but the darn thing get so hot, I cant achieve silence nirvana...
Remember I am new to C# and .net program so be nice
How would I search the config.xml passed to the plugin for a partial string? I want to search for âMAC-â
I am currently using
XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("/settings/MVPWidth")
to read in the sections I want.
Currently the only thing I can think of is using NextSibling and stepping through the file and comparing them. Is there an easier way?
I have been tinkering with gbpvr, my hardware, and various codecs quite a bit and so I have reinstalled both gbpvr and windows once or twice so far. My question is, how can I get the recordings from a previous installation to show up in the "ready recordings" menu again with all of the title, subtitle, and time/date information that they had after I first recorded them? Also, how might I back up and reinstall this information in the future?
