Is the live tv file in the recordings directory still growing?

Try selecting a nother MPEG2 decoder, it may help.

You dont need to uninstal WinTV. Is the live tv file in the recordings directory still growing?

[sweetthdevil]

i don't know what you mean?
how i see that???
Anyway i uninstal and is still not responding???

When you try to view livetv, GB-PVR starts writing a file call "livetv-x-x.mpg" into your configured recordings directory. Can you see this file, and is it growing?

Install WinTV, GB-PVR needs the MPEG2 decoder that get installed with it.

ok i instal wintv.
i'll look for the file, and if it's not growing what should i do???

At this stage I'm trying to determine whether your recording is freezing, or if its your playback.

If the file stops growing, you've likely got driver problems. This would indicate the PVR USB2 has unexpectedly stop producing MPEG data.

If the file is still growing, you've likely got MPEG codec problems, and should try other MPEG2 decoders (other than the "System default&quot.

ok so i leaved it for 10 minutes and the files stayed at 953 mb, i put the file on the third party of my hard drive, but i don't thinks this is a problem...

So tell me what to do i've got a race to record tomorow:angry:

Can you record for long periods of time with WinTV?
