Hello all!

I have some mpeg2 video streams with a high bitrate and they can not be played smoothly. It does not make fun to look them, is that a limitation of the Hauppauge decoder? the CPU utilization is less then 10% so the CPU seems to be fast enough.

Any ideas?

Mike

before trying and blowing things up, does anyone sees a problem with:

Connecting the pundit TVOUT + stereo out to the PVR composite in ?

I expect to be able to "see" the desktop this way. Am I wrong?
Did anyone tried this before ? If it works, one could use only the PVR tvout, and software swtiching input. This way, the development of new features could be easier?

Or am I still dreaming ?  

Hi all,

This looks really great now that I have things setup and working.

Is there a way to change the recording/LiveTV parameters? I try changing the profiles with the "edit" button when configuring the capture sources, but these buttons don't seem to do anything.

Hello all!

1.)

I would like to know, if it is possible to see a avi (divX for example) over the VPR 350 TV Out. :-) I dont know if this is possible while its not a mpeg stream, but possible it can be decoded by divx via cpu and encoded via the PVR again? :-))) Wired but only an idea.

2.) Show ID3 Tags in Music-Player.
2a.) support Internet Shoutcast Streams (via FMod?)
3.) Radio Tuner support with record possibillity :-)
4.) a message port to get information to external apps about what is happening atm. eg. playing music, tv channel - so that 3rd party developers are able to use a front case display to show some information

Thats all for now... now more Ideas yet, possible in the next 5 minutes. :-)

During software installation, it does not appears the config window.
Then, when you try to start up the program, it does not load at all:

It says something about "Common Language Debuggins error Services" amd then, a process Id. Error which every time is different.

The first time I set up the software (ver 0.0.10), I didn't have installed the .net 1.1 Framework.
But i have loaded it, installed once more the GBPVR and it seems to be the same.

I have Win XP in Catalan (spanish regional language).

At last, I installed ver 0.0.8, and It's the same error once more.

hi, i just got gb-pvr setup on my windows machine because the hardware in my linux box doesnt get along with the pvr-350. so, windows will be responsible only for the scheduled recordings of programs, which will be saved remotely to the linux box (using NFS in microsoft unix services for windows).
everything seems to work great when run manually, i even wrote a client/server suite in perl to let me change channels over the network (liinux box has serial connection to the directv reciever).
the problem comes when i try to schedule a recording in gb-pvr, it refuses to record anything. looking in the wintvcap log, it claims it cannot find the path specified (and gives the full path). i can copy and paste this exact path and run wintvcap on the commandline and it records just fine. what gives?

here are some excerps from the wintvcap.log:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

i can copy/paste the cmdline given here and when fed to wintvcap it works perfect.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

and there is the actual error.

Unfortunately I have been unable to use vmr7 or vmr9 for display.  The overlay method produces some pretty unsatisfactory results.

My machine has the &quot;old style&quot; agp slot so I am limited as to the type of video card I can use.  Right now I'm using an ATI Rage Fury with tv out and it doesn't seem to handle vmr.

Any suggestions on a fairly cheap card that will work with the older agp slots (Asus P3BF mobo)?  It would have to have tv out because I don't use a monitor with this machine

Thanks

Problem 1.  I'm using Windows2k pro so I added the entries to the irremote.ini file manually but the remote still does not work with GBPVR.

Problem 2.  It seems that the hauppauge remote uses the same frequency as my television.  So even if I could get the remote to work It still wouldn't be very useful because it changes the tv as well.

Any way I can get around this?
Would I have the same problem If I bought some other remote?

Also what is the proper configuration for Channel Changer so that gbpvr uses the remote even if it is not running?

Hallo all!

I just found GBPVR as an alternative to windows media center.
I installed a plain system on my VIA EPIA M Mainboard, all latest drivers and service packs for XP and hardware. After that, I installed GBPVR. But if I try to start it it crashes bringing me th german error message:

&quot;Die Anwendung hat einen Ausnahmefehler verursacht, der nicht verarbeitet werden kann.

Prozess-ID=0x5dc (1500), ThreadID==x244 (580)

I could not start config or gbpvr. whats wrong??

Cheers
Mike

I'm trying to get GB-PVR up and running but I can't get hold of any TV schedules. Everything I have found so far has pointed to Ananova but their website says

&quot;Sorry, but Ananova is no longer able to bring you TV listings.&quot;

Could someone point me in the direction of an alternative source for the UK version of the XML file please
