2008-03-15 12:40:10.488 VERBOSE [1] GBPVR.Backend.Common.GbpvrException: No channels have been set up. Please run the Configuration utility and setup the EPG source. Use the 'Update EPG' button to force the system to import the latest set of channel and programme information.

Its because you didnt setup your capture source's EPG.

So EPG is mandatory? Other than making GB_PVR work, I have no use for it as I have a Dish Network box hooked up with S-Video and RCA cables. I will now look for a post on setting up EPG.

Yes, it pretty much is. You can manually all your channels (or one manual channel called 'SVideo'), but no one does that. Everyone uses an EPG. The app is designed around the EPG, and most of its functionality depends on it being available.

I am a little confused how to add the S-Video channel. I have it selected as the source "S-Video, External Tuner" in the config for the tuner card in GB-PVR.

Anyway, I click Live TV and it goes black for a couple of seconds then comes back to the GB-PVR screen. Attached are updated logs.

Did you use the 'add' button to create a channel? If not, there is no channel for it to start live tv on.

[BTJustice]

Yes I added a channel and called it S-Video. It also has my list of channels from an XML file (Zap2it) but I didn't use the Add button for those. I simply added those by clicking on the Update EPG button after I added the path to the XML file in XMLTV Options.

It looks like your recording service wasnt running at the time, or you have some firewall software getting in the way.

I made sure it was on this time in Task Manager. Still no go on Live TV. I see in one of the logs there is a crossbar error. I am not sure what that means exactly. Logs are attached.

Your crossbar and tuner filters have a different name than the [Conexant Blackbird] entry. Try adding the following to your direct.ini file and use it as your recording source:

Code:

[MSI TvAnywhere Master 8606]
INIT_MODE=DEFAULT
INIT_MSP=0
BLACKBIRD=1
CONEXANT=1
FILTER_CROSSBAR=MSI 8606 Crossbar
FILTER_CAPTURE=Conexant 2388x Video Capture
FILTER_TV_TUNER=MSI 8606 Tuner
FILTER_TV_AUDIO=MSI 8606 TV Audio
FILTER_ENCODER=Conexant 2388x MPEG Encoder
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_TUNER_IN=Video Tuner In
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_TUNER_IN=Audio Tuner In
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_DECODER_OUT=Video Decoder Out
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_DECODER_OUT=Audio Decoder Out
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_VIDEO_OUT=Analog Video
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_AUDIO_OUT=Analog Audio
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_IN=TVAudio In
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_OUT=TVAudio Out
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_AUDIO_IN=Analog Audio In
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_VIDEO_IN=Analog Video In
PIN_CAPTURE_I2S_OUT=I2S
PIN_CAPTURE_656_OUT=656
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=Input

The encoder filter did not show up in your FilterCheck.log though so that may be an issue.
