FM Radio on Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2

[sub]

I wonder if my sqlite database locking error will get fixed too...

I'm only aware of one cause of a SQLite locking error, and a patch will be included in the next release. A description of what causes it can be found here: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=1...ostcount=8

Awesome, Sub, thanks I'll give that a try too!

Has anyone found a definitive fix for the FM issue with this tuner? This seems to be the only thing that I cannot get working. When I go to FM Radio I click Play and nothing happens. I click Stop and then Play again and still... no FM. I have also noticed quite a bit of Lag on this screen. I am accessing it directly on my PC and not from an MVP. After I click Play and wait a moment to see if FM will work, I press Stop and it takes about 20-30 seconds before the button lights up.:confused:

A few releases back the FM tuner started to work for me again. It still works (I haven't tried the 99.12 yet). Only problem is when I click on Menu to get the visualizations, the FM radio would stop playing.

I also don't click on the play button, i usually click OK (or press return) on the station. It usually takes a few seconds before music starts to play.

I loaded GB-PVR v99.12 over 99.5 last night. I still do not have FM Radio. I can launch the WinTV Radio program that was installed when I installed my WinTV PVR2 USB2 and FM works fine. I still cannot get FM radio from GB-PVR. If I open WinTV Radio and start playing a station I can then go to GB-PVR and play a separate station.. So I can have 2 different stations playing at the same time.:confused: But as soon as i close WinTV Radio GB-PVR no longer plays FM either. Anyone have any suggestions?

After reading these posts I dusted off my WinTV PVR USB2 and hooked up to one of my test machines to try the FM radio. It actually worked first try for me with v0.99.12. I didnt have to do any tweaking.

Reproduce your problem, then zip and attach your logs and I'll take a look.

You may have to use the 'Add' button to manually specify the station, since many of the Hauppauge drivers dont implement support for the standard IAMTuner->SignalPresent() API when using FM radio. Their radio app uses some proprietary method for checking the signal, rather than the standard method which I have to use, so their radio app detecting stations during a scan doesnt mean GB-PVR will.

Sub,

Thank you for your offer to assist! I am new to your program so if I have not attached the right logs or if I need to do something different please let me know.

To create the logs contained in the zip file titled logs_1.zip, I only had GBPVR running.
I was not able to hear FM Radio

To create the logs contained in the zip file titled logs_2.zip, I had one frequency (92.5) set and playing in WinTV Radio. I launched GBPVR and started playing another frequency (105.30). At first, both stations were being played at the same time. Then the GBPVR frequency started being played from both apps and it was like I was on a huge acid trip with all of the reverberation (not that I have ever dropped acid, just guessing!)..... About 10 seconds after I closed GBPVR the original Frequency began playing from the WinTV Radio application.

Another thing I noticed that was odd is that when I run the Device Type Check Utility I get the following log

00:28:39.177 INFO Log started
00:28:39.177 VERBOSE FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Capture
00:28:39.192 ERROR Failed to find requested device: Hauppauge PVR150 (instance 1)




Thanks!!!

The logs_1.zip doesnt show any sign of errors, and looks like it should be working.

You could try running the FM Radio functionality the other way. You'll need to install the LAME audio encoder filter from http://www.elecard.com/ftp/pub/directsho..._dshow.zip, and set the following in config.xml: <ForceFMBufferingMode>true</ForceFMBufferingMode>
