Hi all,
I've setup GBPVR in my PC to utilise a Nova T 500 which I bought after my TV bit the dust.
Now the PC spec is
XP Pro SP2
PROCESSOR: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 1.833GHz
RAM: Samsung 512 Pc2700 DDR333 184pinn Original Module x2
GRAPHICS: MEDIAMAX 256MB DDR ATI Radeon 9600 PRO TV-Out DVI-I Retail Box
HDD's: 20GB IDE Master with OS, 120GB IDE Slave for recordings and media only, 40GB IDE for music only but currently awaiting IDE to SATA Interface to hitch it up.
So not bad spec back in 2004 when I built it but not great by todays standards, I plan to build a proper HTPC but am awaiting the funds to do so.
Anyway enough waffling, my GBPVR is setup ok or so I thought, I can watch TV, view the TV Guide, Search the Guide, use my remote etc etc, I planned two recordings from standby on my first night and I got the following
Two recordings which crash GBPVR, refuse to play in Media Player 11, Media Player Classic and Nero Show Time.
So I had another fiddle with the settings, dunno which I changed then I ended up with this
Two recordings which one plays ok through GBPVR and the mentioned viewers, one does the same crashing thing I got earlier.
Now tonight I recorded a programme whilst web browsing, once it was done I get the same thing again crashing the GBPVR and any viewers.
What's going wrong?
If my recordings worked out I would be very happy, I appreciate that maybe my PC can't handle it, Live TV and the Guide take some while to start up, i can also get the Timeshift Mode to work which is good, so it's only the recording issue that is bothering me.
Is it because I'm recording to the slave HDD?
Any assistance is useful, I have searched a little but not found anything plus I've looked through wiki.
Cheers
Liam
