Everything works ok for me except for scheduled recordings. When the recording starts, I get this error message:
[b Wrote:Quote[/b] ]gbpvrrecordingservice.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0xa28 (2600), Thread id=0xd50 (3408).
Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application.
The recording starts ok and does record correctly unless I click OK or Cancel which will stop it. But then after recording, I can't schedule another recording without restarting gbpvrrecordingservice and clearing the recording schedule in the mdb file.
I have tried reinstalling and using the installutil procedure but still have the problem.
maybe somebody can answer this for me, or tell me if it just plain doesnt work for some reason....but i can't get any files, exposed through network shares, to play over my MVP. my set up is such: dedicated gbpvr pc, additional pc (with archived music, vids, pics), and MVP -- all on the same LAN. through the my series (My Videos, My Pictures, My Music) i can only access files that reside on the gbpvr pc -- it can't seem to find any of the network shares. from the my series plugins on the gbpvr box, these shares all work. am i doing something wrong? i've got mapped drives, but i've also tried plain network shares (\\pc2\music). anybody have any luck doing this sort of thing?
I'm having some more problems. First off, I have a strange bug. First off, if I'm zapping through the channels (usually starts at channel 6 (order)) and I come at channel 1 (Nederland 1 here, freq channel 72) the system will reboot spontaniously. The tuner scan thingy does display it nicely, and also when I go there directly from the tv guide, it will show fine, however, in that case when I zap to the next or previous channel the system will reboot.
Secondly, I need to fine tune the channels. For some reason the channel numbers skip frequencies I need. On some channel the screen remains black and white because of this. I have a list of frequencies from my provider. You can find it at http://www.casema.nl/portal....andaard
All channels are in the range xxx.25 MHz. for some reason above some point the scan thingy goes to a xxx.75 MHz range, this is not correct in my case. Furthermore, the channel number don't correspond with any of the channels I need exactly (the first 10 in the list + discovery). Most are of by 2MHz. Some by even more. Secondly I believe this error is not directly related to the application, as this issue is the same with the AMCAP utility. So it's probably somewhere in the underlying API.
The frequencies in the list are correct. On my system I also run linux with the ivtv driver, which is still under heavy development. With those drivers I can enter the frequency exactly and the channels will be fine (or atleast, as fine as they're going to be at the moment with my tuner not being (fully) supported yet). Atleast I have color on all channels there, so those frequencies are better.
We're using a PAL B/G here. My system is a AthlonXP 1800+ with 512MB RAM, WinXP SP2, nVidia TNT2 32MB. Via chipset (audio). Hauppauge PVR 500MCE.
I am very new to the world of PVR and have chosen to use GBPVR since it supports my Hauppauge 350 card with the nice quality built in video out that I wanted.
QUESTION: Can I use the GBPVR interface to play my older recorded Mpegs?...or will it only play video that I have recorded using the GBPVR? I have tried to play some older musicvideos downloaded as torrents in MPEG format, but nothing happens? Is there some way to work around this and get them to play using my 350card with video out?
QUESTION 2 ( I guess this is the real dumb one) Can I ever use the GB interfaced to play video and movies recorded in other formats...avi from torrents for example? What do I need to do to convert and make them accessible through the interface?
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ANYONE WHO TAKES THE TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE MINE.
For example: If I set "pre-show padding" = 5 min and "post-show padding" = 10 min then in a record of show I will have 15 min pre-show padding and cut the end of the show.
The .tivo files that you can DL off your Tivo using the TivoToGo software are semi-protected MPEG-2 formatted files. I've tried to get them added to the Videos listing, but GB-PVR doesn't recognize .tivo as a valid extension, and changing the filename to .mpg means that the TivoDirectShow.dll doesn't get called so the video can't be viewed.
Is there a trick that should make this work, or am I going to have to plan on recording the same shows from GB-PVR if I want to watch them anywhere else?
MVP works great for me, however I find that if I hit the green power button on my remote to power off the MVP, most of the time, when I power it back on again, it won't reconnect to the server. Sometimes the service appears green still at this point on my server as if its still streaming live TV. This usually happens when I power off while watching live TV. Other times, it will still appear red as if there's no activity. The only fix for me has been to restart the recording service on the server. Any ideas?
Below is my priorityrecordings.xml file. It was generated after i entered the information on GBPVR. I have the latest xrecord plugin. So after updateepg ran, same problem: Every Single Episode on Channel 2 (the first channel on my EPG) was slated to record. It just put everything into pending--so again, you can imagine it is a pain in the a** to go through and delete each one. If anyone knows what i'm doing wrong, please let me know. Below is my file:
