Has any one got any thoughts on using GB with the sony mpeg-RR engine? I have a Vaio A290 with tuner and capture capabilities and i want to use it with this great software.
I'm really just starting out trying to use this software so any help would really help !
Hi all - My first time setting up GBPVR was painless for the most part but I have a few issues. (yup I did a search first)
Here is the set up
Althon 64 3000+ Winchester
Gigabyte K8NS 939 mother board
two (2) ATI E-Home Wonder tuner cards
Volari XGi V3 video card - 128 MB AGP version
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound Card
Dlink DWL 510 - Wireless G - card
Wd Raptor 36GB Sata drive for OS/Apps
Hitachi 160 GB Sata drive for Storage
I did a baremetal clean install of windows XP - all the drivers for the above hardware then installed the intervideo mpeg2 decoder...
Next I did the GBPVR install - set up my e-home wonders as the capture devices etc..basically a step by step install doc install.
Here are my problems - I get that Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object when I try to start LIVE TV.
I can go to the guide as set it to record a show - I tested it with ER last night. It plays back fine but if I try to fast forward I lose audio completly upon coming out of FF into normal play back.
I'm coming off of running MCE2005 on this system and that all worked fine and dandy but I'm never satisfied and heard good things about GBPVR!
Final question - Is anyone or does anyone know of a plug in for the ATI Remote Wonder for GBPVR?
Thanks in advance to anyone for any help
(P.S. - I am dumping the Volari XGI - I got it becuase supposidly it has full hardware MPEG2 Decoding and HDTV support but this card blows imho - screen redraws are dog slow in 2D - there is no noticable Mpeg2 acelleration I can see and it does not seem to support VRML9 ? )
I'd really like to see a sort option for the recordings you already have. There are some shows that I like to keep every episode I record, which adds up to a lot of scrolling when I want to watch a newly recorded one. If the newer episodes were on top of the list that'd be great.
Another way to view the shows that I'd like to see is similar to how tivo does it, just lists the newly recorded stuff on the top of the available list instead of showing the show names as folders containing episodes.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the icons (both folders and files) within the Video Library can be made smaller so that more can be seen at one time in the osd? Maybe they can be viewed as a list instead of icons?
OK I did it. I read all I could and followed the advice of Sub and others and took the plunge today. Snowed in Installed the removed the 350 did a hw clear removed gb-pvr deleted the install dir and installed the 150. Added the drivers etc. Installed the 350 installed drivers still OK. Installed gb-pvr and setup. All good. I can record a channel and watch another all good. Howver....... When the PC boots it complains about the IR saying it failed to initailize. If I disable the 150 restart the IR it works OK. I can then use gb-pvr and the remote and do all the other stuff. I have installed all the latest drivers including 2.024.23035 for the 150. The 350 drivers are 1.18.21.22266.
I realise this is not a gb-pvr problem but a hauppauge one. Has anybody fixed this problem? I read some time ago that somebody scripted a disable and re-enable to get round this problem but cannot find the thread. Please help. Wife factor is looming!!!!!
I have a multi tuner setup with a PVR350 and a 150. I also have an Xcard that I wanted to use. When I use the PVR350 as the output device the volume control (left and right arrow or + -) does not control the volume. When I enable the xcard it does work. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. Save me!!!!
