Hey guys need some advice/help. I have GB-PVR set up with nap2it and all the proper settins (i think) the problem is when i try to watch live tv or record anything i get an Error: Failure PLaying back file. I know the tuner works because it works with the defualt software that came with it, but that software is horrendous and i would really like to get GB-PVR to work with it.
Right now i currently have the Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2, but the software that came with it is horrible, and the GB-PVR is exactly what i want to run my tuner. Its for a laptop so it has to be external (preferably usb) whats the best tuner quality and compatibility with GB-PVR?
Here is an easy one for your yellow paper on your desk, I hope?
Can we get an option to set the base priority of the recording service and the GBPVR.exe. I was thinking of a drop down list or an option button with the options of high and normal.
My GBPVR box is an old machine that is running a handfull of other services. When the other services are active GBPVR is sluggish and the MVP is sketchy at best.
I attempted to change the priority manually to see if it made a difference... I recieved an "Access is denied" error.
Hi all
I am running a PVR 350 with a usbuirt controlling the STB and its working perfectly (Great job Sub), however I want to add a PVR250 to the mix so that I may watch TV whilst recording. The problem I am foreseeing is that both cards use the same remote, is there a way to make the Hauppauge silver remote work on one card at a time?
I have two recording sources - the free to air broadcast channels picked up by a tv tuner, and a satellite settop box that receives NZ SkyTV wich is picked up via s-video. The SkyTV also carries all the free to air channels that are recieved by the tuner source.
When I view the EPG, I see all the channels from one source followed by all the channels from the other. Therefore, TV1 for example, appears twice in the EPG.
What would be nice would be if the fact that it is the same channel could be recognised and dealt with cleverly. I.e. TV1 would only appear once, and if selected to record/view, the first available videosource that carries the channel would be used.
Otherwise it is a bit confusing for the wife (ok, for me! to select tv1 and find that no recording source is available as I selected from the part of the EPG that is associated with a recording source that is recording something else. I have to go find TV1 at the far end of the EPG to watch it.
I just got GB-pvr installed and working with the MVP (looks great with the High Vis skin!. Now I am trying to get some of the other plugins installed and working right.
The problem I am having is with the "My Pictures" and "RSS" plugins. The instruction seem to be a bit thin on were stuff needs to be copyed to. I sort of figured out that the plugin DLL needs to go into the "Plugin" folder, but were does the "skin" folder need to be copyed to?
There may be an answer for this on the Forum, but I cannot find it and I've been trying really hard to solve it so I'll ask anyway. Hope that's ok.
I live in Norway and I've bought a Hauppage PVR-350 card to make a TV-PC. GB-PVR seems like a really nice programme and I'd really like to use the TV-out on the card.
I've tried two different motherboards and graphics cards and installed various versions of XP (with Service Pack 1a and with Service Pack 2, with ActiveX9c and ActiveX9b).
The whole PC hangs when changing channels. If I do it slowly (long delay between each change) I can typically change 10 channels before it happens, but it always happens. Sometimes only after changing one channel. I have to restart the PC.
I currently have the following configuration:
- ASUS CUWE-RM ACPI with the latest BIOS (not VIA chipset)
- Intel Celeron 634MHz (Yes, this is slow, but have tried with Athlon 1.3GHz also and same problem)
- Intel graphics card (Have also tried with NVidia card)
- Windows XP version 2002 with Service Pack 1 (Have also tried service pack 2)
- DirextX 9b (have also tried c)
- 512 MB Ram
- Hauppage PVR-350 with the pvr_1.18.21.22301_inf but the other software that's on Hauppage's main site (have also tried the files that came with the card and also the Hauppage support site files).
I have really looked into the IRQ issue and tried disabling ACPI so that I can set IRQ myself. With the current configuration the system says that the TV card shares the IRQ with a USB adapter and a network card, but the freeze has also happened when it doesn't. It doesn't say that there are conflicts, and the card works from the WinTV2000 application.
I've seen various comments that one can for example tweak the registry, but I haven't found with exactly what. Does anybody have some further clues for me?
And yes, I will donate, but need to get it working first.
I've been trying to work this out for a while - well all of today. Initially was getting black and white picture with a diagonal line appearing across the screen on movement.
I reinstalled all my drivers etc. and now I'm getting a colour picture but its very jerky - especially at the begining and audio sync is out by about 5 seconds.
Picture and audio sync seems OK under WinTV2000.
Any ideas anyone? It's an Athlon 900Mhz using VIA chipsets.
Sorry folks, I'm having a couple of weeks off. You've probably been able to tell from my recent short responses or tone of my replies, that the continuous questions are wearing me down. The few dollars I get through donations just isn't worth the stress.
A merry christmas to all. I'll see you in the new year.
