After complete frustration about the original hauppauge software and some experiments with myHTPC i finally found your already pretty impressive piece of software and thank you for preventing me from kicking the board out of the window.
One suggestion for the EPG:
I miss a possibillity to navigate fast through the EPG in form of a navigation bar with 7 day of the week.
My EPG source always supplies the programs of 7 days and its kinda long scrolling to be done if i want to prepare the recording of a show some days ahead.
Hi,
Most of my chanels looks fine and the recording quality is great. One chanel though (Z-TV) isn't geting a very good reception, is there anything I can do to fix this?
I'm in Sweden and has Comhem (cable) as my provider if that helps.
okay, a very small request... It would be nice if the GBpvr icon was used as favicon.ico for the webserver so the icon appears in the favorit listing in explore
It is an interesting feature to be able to select the recording quality. However, how do the different standard settings translate to GB/Hr and or to which profile does "standard DVD quality" relate?
I selected the best quality in the config app. However, when I initiate a recording, the default quality is medium. Can I change that?
Now that I have figured out my stupidity on getting Live TV to come up correctly, I can't seem to get a picture. I'm using an Avermedia M150 with S-Video coming from my satellite receiver. It's setup for capture card #1 and S-Video external tuner. I've tried S-Video external tuner #2 as well as some others but none work. When I go to watch TV I can see the recording button turn green and my HD light is blinking so I guess its filling the ring buffer. The FM module works fine. Am I missing something?
I just started using GB-PVR, and it works great. I am running Windows 2000, if it matters. I have a Hauppauge PVR-250, so I know that I can't FF/REW LiveTV with the .18 release, but I also can't play recordings that aren't finished recording yet. They play fine once the full recording time is finished. Is this part of the same thing with the FF/REW not being in the .18 version, or am I doing something wrong?
"Your EPG source does not seem to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG source settings and try again..."
I keep getting this error over and over. I have no idea why. I have tried removing the EPG entry and I have even created an additional account with Zap2it. Nothing seems to work. When I attempt to update the EPG entry it starts to check for listings (Requesting Listing information from Zap2it.com.) I can see that data is being transferred. It then says (Processing Zap2it Listings.) It is right after this that I get this error: "Your EPG source does not seem to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG source settings and try again..." Well I have checked the settings and can not see anything that is set up wrong. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance!
I tried to setup GBPVR the last few days. It seems to be the perfect application to replace the old VCR.
First: Playing and tuning and recording etc. with the WinTV applications works fine.
Using GBPVR:
When I play a video file using the PVR-350 TV-out it runs 3(?) seconds and hangs. The overlay smootly dissappears but the video is stucked.
press Back/exit:
On the monitor the menu appears, the TV shows the stucked video.
The second time I try to play a video the TV screen goes black.
Tuning:
I can't get any channel right. Tried Manual add of a few channels, tried changing Channel Source manual. Imported several XML.
The WinTV app tuning works perfect, but uses the frequency (e.g. 175,25MHz) = source channel 5? Can I enter the freq in GBPVR somewhere?
Info:Updated videodirvers, hauppauge drivers and directX
Using GBPVR 0.18l
Playback PVR350, VMR9, tried SBE yes/no
I seem to be having a problem getting live tv to work. When I choose to watch live tv I get "Failed to communicate with the GB-PVR Recording Service. This software is possibly not running". The service is running when I go into services in control panel. I have restarted the service many times. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed, I have eveything I need in my PATH. I also tried the installutil GBPVRRecordingService.exe but it pretty much said that the specified service already exists. I've also reinstalled just to make sure and rebooted. NO JOY!!! I must be overlooking something. Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks
