I recently got a used Stradis SDM275 professional mpeg-2 decoder card on the cheap. I've managed to get it working in WinXP with Media Player but would like to use it for the output in GBPVR (obviously). It really doesn't matter if I get the menus to work as I can switch to a different input on the TV to switch back and forth between my video card and stradis decoder.
The problem seems to be that windows does not recognize it as a mpeg-2 decoder, so I can't set it as the default mpeg decoder. Also, when I open a mpeg-2 file in graphedit, there are only 2 filters, the file source filter and a Stradis Mpeg decoder filter. It looks as though the decoder combines the demultiplexer, decoder and renderer into one filter.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get this working with GBPVR, or barring that, have any suggestions on software that will work with it? I've done quite alot of googling on this and the only thing I can find that might work is MythTV.

I am using an Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB2 and I loaded and installed everything by following the quick start to the letter. And everything works great, except that when I try to start Live TV I get the following error:

Error: Unable to load DLL (hcwIRblast.dll)

I also have a couple of other programs loaded on my system because I am trying to decide which one I prefer, but I make sure everything is closed on one before opening another.

I have tried Restarting IR or leaving it off.

Is my problem in my configuration?

By the way, when GBPVR is open, the remote does work in terms of navigating the menus and such.

It is only when I select Live TV that I get the error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been running with a PVR-350 and a PVR-250 for some time. Both tuners work fine. Now I have installed a PVR-150 in addition, and this does not work. I have the PVR-350 as device 1, PVR-250 as device 2 and the PVR-150 as device 3.

I don't get any signal from the first 2 devices (black screen), but if I open 3 video streams, the last device (3) works. If I delete the PVR-150 as a source in config.exe, then I have the same problem: device 1 shows black screen, device 2 is fine.

Any ideas?

Hi. I like to do a fresh install each time but this time (as I have it set up perfect) I would like to know what files to keep so that I maintain all the settings. For the new release that is rumered to be next week

I just realized that I only had EPG data in GBPVR for 2 days - but I always fetch 14 days in XMLTV everyday.
My XMLTV file was ok and after I did a manual update in config it is all fine.

My questions -
1)is there a way the get informed that the EPG update did not work?

2) can it be done by using "onlyupdateEPG" in some batch file - and running that command would give back ok or Not ok?

Hi
First I would like say GBPVR rocks. I got my PVR card yesterday and installed this bad boy and its great.

I hope this is not a repost I have been ussing the search button but could not find anything like this.

One problem
Today I installed a couple of plugins and utilities. To be more specific
Xrecord
Video archiver
comskip
cdk scheduler
findfast

I havent even had a chance to see if these plugins work because I went into my guide and its 2 hours ahead of schedule. I am preaty sure it wasent like this yesterday.
My PC time and time zone are set correctly. I dont know what else to look for.
I am ussing zap2it. For my listings.

Any suggestions from the pros?

Thnx in advance

Hi,
I noticed that the Hauppauge Nova-t 90002 is supported but the Nova-t USB2 isn't. The USB2 version comes with BDA drivers but it is a little different from the 90002. It doesn't use "source filter", only a "capture filter". A filtergraph for this device looks like this:

Any questions feel free to ask.

2 items i think need to be looked at...

Defualt quality setting, seems only to be on MEDIUM, would like to be able to set this to another setting so when you record you get another quality say "CUSTOM1" at the moment what ever i set it to it stays at MEDIUM which isnt good.

Also on the WEB front end this quality setting is used for recording, it will correct this as well but you cant even select a quality here so that would be handy as well but at least if you could set a defualt would make the web recording function useful.

Many Thanks
Ashley

How do I make the EPG guide show the translated title

From the xmltv:
<title lang="da">Høj pistolføring 2 1/2</title>
<title>The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear</title>

The EPG shows the original title and I would like the have the translated title shown

How do I do that? Can it be done.

Is it possible to the right navigation buttons to the left so that they allways are shown, usely I have to scrolle the screen to see the nav. buttons (see attached picture)

Reven has offered to try and fix issues if we can clearly collate them for him.

Please use this thread to clearly state any problem/issue/inconsistency with as much detail as possible. Please do not post "How to do it" posts in this thread. Please try the problem on your PC client and state whether it works there or not or how it differs.

I offer to try and replicate and confirm.

Cheers

Alan
