GB-PVR Won't Record !

[jwelters]

Good Morning All,

I just reinstalled GB-PVR on a different box. It is running Windows Server 2008 X64. Everything seems to work fine except when it goes to actually record a show, it just doesn't. All devices are detected, and my old recordings imported just fine. It did say something about the mpeg2 demux not being installed so I just changed the setting to something else. I'm only using this to record the TV not to play it back.

The card I'm using is a PVR-500 MCE and it's detected fine in both Windows and GB-PVR. I went ahead and installed the BDA drivers (http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/114549-b...er-2008r2/) in case that was a problem. I saw no improvement.


I really don't want to take this thing back down and re-install windows 7 on it.

HELP !

As soon as I hit submit the recordings started... didn't touch anything they just took off however they are comming in really broken up, with green dots almost like it's going digital (I'm only tuning analog. Is there a trick to make this work right, I'm guessing it has to do with missing codecs or something ?

Below is the relevant part of my config file... this is ridiculously close to working.

It looks like your drivers are either not installed, or are in a non-functional state. We've see the latter a few times (and it work in GBPVR or any other app).

I figured it out, had to disable McAfee Anti Virus. How odd for it to cause that....
