I like ...but one thing

[Eazy189]

Hello

first off id like to say hats off to this awesome software

ive been having one problem with it though well 2

ive had a corrupt timestamp in one recording (of about 10 so far) and if anyone knows a fix for that let me know i could find people talking about it but no answers

but heres the real one ..if i am say recording a show and attempt to go back into the EPG while its recording 9 times out of ten i get a crash

not just any crash this is one where it sends insane radio noise through my speakers at full volume(i leave them at full volume all the time and adjust with my remote in windows)

this happened the other night at about 4 am and woke everyone in the house up and came severly close to giving me a massive heart attack...it was that loud and the noise is terrible

after poking around i found out it only happens while its recording a show and i attempt to enter the EPG

any advice on this would be awesome and also a benifit to my cardiovascular health

heres my specs

athlon 64 3200
1gig corsair value
msi neo3 nforce4 mobo
radeon x800pro 256mb vid card
sound blaster xfi extrememusic
wintv 150mce tuner card

PVAstrumento might be able to fix that.

[Eazy189]

will it fix the file? or stop it from happening

[gEd]

PVAstrumento is a 3rd party program that can re-mux the file, thereby fixing the timestamp problem.

as to why it is happening, no idea

If you can reproduce the problem at will, set the error level to debug in the config app, reproduce the problem and then take a look at log files for any errors/messages at exactly the time of the crash. Unload the log files here if you need someone else to take a look at them.

as to leaving the system on at full volume - man that is crazy!! I would have thought that the speakers would explode when the pc is started up. Seriously, I wouldn;t leave the system in this state.

Corrupt timestamp with the 150 card has been discussed in a few other threads. It is due to the driver. Search the forum and see which 150 drivers others say work fine for them. Mine is working fine the past 30 days with a good driver.

Yeah, the PVR150 drivers suck... I tested a zillion before finally finding a release that didn't have the timeline bug. Why they can't see to get this right, I don't know, but the most current drivers still have this problem.

I use the 23035 drivers. I don't have a link to it, but there is one in the forums if you search.

Was someone on your computer at 4am entering the EPG? Or did you just enter the epg then go to bed.. and it happened 20minutes later?
Because as you said it it only happens if that recordings been recording and you looked at the EPG...?

Hmm... that's not normal. I go into the EPG all the time while it's recording without any trouble at all. Going into the EPG via the client app shouldn't influence the recording service, or visa versa. You should probably provide a log file.

not just any crash this is one where it sends insane radio noise through my speakers at full volume(i leave them at full volume all the time and adjust with my remote in windows)

Sounds like it's Windows that crashes... is that right? Or is it just gbpvr? If it's windows crashing then it sounds like it's driver related since the gbpvr client shouldn't be able to crash the machine, but a bad driver can. I'd try updating both your video and sound card drivers and then see if you can make it happen.

[Eazy189]

i think ive fixed the timestamp problem with the 23305 drivers

the crash i dont know i dont think its bgpvr but the only times it happens is when i use the EPG in gbpvr WHILE its recording ..no other time


as for leaving my spoeakers on full volume its not as bad as you think i always have the windows volume down so it stays good

but when that crash happens it just loses volume control and pumps out static at full volume
