no live TV picture

[mpooley]

Hi all
I have just tried to use pvrx2 again after a gap of several months.
I had 'some' minor niggles before and felt I needed to come back to then when I had more time. The system had been working ok just a bit slow.

Now I tried to use it yesterday and downloaded the epg ok no problems. I can watch old recorded programs ok and it all seems to be working ok.
Except for Live TV ! when i select this the screen goes blank for ages and then I sometimes get sound ! but so far no matter how long i leave it .... no picture.

I have not altered anything since last use and even the little acorn PC that is my media centre has been off all that time as well so no changes there either.

Can Anyone suggest where I start to solve this please?

Thanks


Mike

You'd need to post your logs.

Yes, NPVR is replacing GB-PVR/PVRX2. There will be no further developement of the older system. If you don't really have much going on with your GB-PVR setup, you may as well switch over to NPVR. The new 1.5.28 release is pretty good, but there are still some bugs and feature gaps.

ah! ok i will load up NPVR and give it a go. Thanks

do I have to uninstall PVRx2?

you can leave gb-pvr/pvrx2 installed if you like, you just don't want both programs to try to use the same tuners at the same time.
