Nova T problem scanning for channels unhandled exception

[ricky]

Hi,

I have just installed GBPVR on new machine, and am getting an unhandled exception as soon as I start mapping the digital channels to EPG. It's GBPVR 0.95.16. I installed the Cyberlink 5.0.1307 mux (THmpgmux.ax). It is a Nova-T PCI and I have installed the Hauppauge 2.106.2351.0 drivers. I have downloaded the RT XMLTV file. The PC is running Win2003 server. I had everything working previously on a different WinXP PC but I think it is a driver problem rather than Win2003 ?

Here's the log.

I know there are others using GB-PVR on W2K3 Server but don't know if they have a Nova-t card. Could this be that the Nova drivers don't work on W2K3? Have you tried the Hauppauge WinTV2000 app? If that works, it shows the drivers are OK with W2K3. Failing that, check the Nova forum on the Hauppauge forums site to see if others have a Nova-t and W2K3 working.

Cheers,
Brian

Good advice. It looks like Nova T will run on Win2003 but various directdraw and sound bits are not installed by default on Win2003. I was hoping that would not be a problem because I don't actually want to watch anything on the Win2003 machine, just use it to record programmes which I can later watch on my TV via MVP or on other PCs via VLC. Being a server it is left on 24 hours, has loads of disk space and network bandwidth - should have been ideal!

Thanks,

Richard
