no LIVETV on MVP

[claude_b]

I bought a MVP few days ago and then download GBPVr soft. I done some testings with original Hauppauge soft in order to check my MVP was working fine.
After that I stopped MVP services and performed some tests with GBPVR in PC mode (not in MVP server). GBPVR works fine (LIVETV, DIVX videos, mp3s, slideshow).
Then I start test with MVP. All seems OK except LIVETV. When I select LIVETV on MVP, TV screen becomes black and few seconds after MVP Hauppauge screen is displayed with a connection in progress message. It seems MVP had been disconnected.

Here is the GBPVR log and a screen copy of GB conf.

I hope somebody could help me to find what is wrong (settings, lack of codec,...).

IIRC the MVP cannot play livetv. You need to use timeshift mode with the MVP. If that is the problem, uncheck "use live preview mode" in the config app.

You've got the following error in your logs:

09/02/2006 20:56:33.140 ERROR [49] Media stream thread caught exception: Impossible de trouver le fichier "D:\video\MVP000DFE00769B.mpg".

I dont know for sure what it error message says in english, but you absolutely positive the D:\video\ driectory exists? Its not "videos" with an "s" or some other name entirely?

After reading a lot of posts and using MuxChecker I finally find the main problem : I haven't any mux filter installed.
I search and download mpgmux.ax and installed it with DSFMgr.
LiveTV works fine with my mediaMVP except when I would like to change channel with IRC. GBPVRRecordingService.exe crashes. I try several time and i got a crash each time.
I find several posts about similar trouble but without fix.

What did the error say? Some people had problems with crashes in mpgmux.ax. The resolution was trying a different version.

What is the output of muxchecker on your machine?

[claude_b]

mpgmux could be the reason
I got similar trouble using GBPVR in PC mode

Error messages:

Muxchecker ouptut :

GB-PVR has detected the following multiplex filters on your machine:

Found: CyberLink MPEG Muxer
FILE: C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\mpgmux.ax
VERSION: 5.0.0727

I had the same problem with recording Tv, and the problem was the MpgMux.ax (5.0.0.727). I found a replacement on the net, 5.0.813 work fine for me. I down loaded AutoDVRconvert_1.3.zip and it was included there. Works fine with the MVP

You win!

I can change channel now without recording crash.

Thanks a lot for helping me.
