Hi,

when I try to use direct access to the Hauppage Remote control, GBPVR does not start and gives the following message in the log-file:

27.Feb.05 17:12:46.932 VERBOSE [2] HauppaugeRemoteDirect() starting
27.Feb.05 17:12:47.338 ERROR [2] Access is denied

With using the Hauppauge Ir.exe, it works fine.

Can anyone tell me what permissions are missing for GBPVR?
(I use GBPVR on W2K with normal user settings - everything else does work OK).

Nope, installing Flac codec from their webiste and also latest ffdshow will not get GBPVR to play flac files! It would be nice if GBPVR (like Nero) joined the list of software that can be configured for FLAC.

I just ran the program for the first time and received warning/status messages saying
Unknown show type Serial
Unknown mpaarating NC-17


Di you have any c# classes for accessing the information from the database and interpret some of the things like the show_type enum?

It would be nice if you could specify the dayabse path for the zapcleandb file.


Other than that, it is very nice to be able to get all the zap2it data.

I get vertical lines when watching TV. If I turn off preview mode, the lines disappear, but the image stutters as it goes into timeshift mode. I am using release .9080 because .9010 stopped recording altogether. I have an AIW 9800 Pro with latest drivers in an XP Home machine. I had it working before.

Can someone help?

S.

When I play MP3 files with one of the players (Music Library or a plugin), the sound quality is clearly affected by screen redrawings. The sound "wows", i.e., it is as if an old tape recorder slows down a half-second or so, every time the screen redraws when another menu is shown, or if the My Music panel time counter changes every second.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Just got a WinTV-PVR USB2 installed and grabbed GB-PVR. Got a couple of problems tho and can't seem to find the answer in the archives.

Firstly, I can't get the live TV to work. Click on the button and nothing happens. The last few lines of gbpvr.exe-native.log show:

14:06:27.625 INFO DirectShowPlayerBase::playLiveStream() done

14:06:45.093 VERBOSE ConexantRecorder::StopRecording()

Any ideas?


Secondly, I managed to get it to record some programs by having the WinTV app open however I can't play these files back. Any ideas where I should look with that?

Many thanks!

Hi gbPVR users,

I'm planning to buy an "Aopen i855GMEm-LES" mainboard together with a "Celeron-M 1.5GHz" in order to

use gbPVR (I hope this system will be cool and quiet as I want to place it next to my TV set ;-)

Is anybody out there using these components and could tell me about his experiences please:

1: Does the "hibernate -> wake-up for recording -> record -> hibernate again"-thing work on them?

Will this board really wake up from hibernate at the time gbPVR writes to BIOS? (the mainboard documentation only says about "suspend-to-RAM"-Mode which is not what I mean)

2: Is the CPU powerful enough (I going to use a Hauppauge PVR 150 for encoding and a Xcard for

decoding)?

3: Will I need to buy a "special" power supply to ensure proper hibernation mode? I've heard that

BIOS must be power-supplied to enable wake-up ... is BIOS automatically supplied by all power

supplies?

Thanks for all anwers.

I am new to the GBPVR scene, and I seem to have everything working alright.....except that I'm dissappointed that the GBPVR/H350 setup will not play my flac or shn or other high quality music files. Is playing them something that an expert among you has figured out, and I just have missed it.....or is this not a possibility and/or will never be a possibility?

I don't really want to convert all my flac etc. files down to MP3s and I'm certainly not of the calibre of user to create a plugin....just noodling along setting up my media center.

Maybe there is someway to have GBPVR access winamp or dbpower amp to play back music files.

OOps, sorry, wrong forum..wasn't paying attention.

Has anyone found which MPEG decoder has the lowest CPU requirements? Or, how about some tips to decrease overall CPU usage. My machine's a little light on the CPU at 800 MHz and 512MB RAM.

I did a clean install today of XP Pro SP2. To that, I installed the nVidia drivers for my card (GeForce FX 5200 with 128MB--almost more processing than the computer itself! and the nVidia DVD player software. I also have my SBLive drivers installed, PVR150MCE drivers, FFDShow, and of course, GBPVR.

After the install, most if not all of the LiveTV problems that I had were cured (I had lots of stuttering). However, MPEG playback through GBPVR is still dropping frames and the CPU is pegged at 98-100% during playback.

If I turn off FFDShow processing, it's a little better, but LiveTV looks like crap (interlacing).

Any suggestions?
