USB-UIRT issues, setup, and questions

[garetmax]

Hi,

I've been working on my USB-UIRT setup and have been having all kinds of problems.

I thought I'd start a new thread since the other thread really didn't start out as a USB-UIRT issue. I'm hoping others who have experience with USB-UIRT will see it more easily since its a new topic.
Here's the older thread starting at page 4 when I first got into the USB-UIRT.

I did talk to Jon at USBUIRT.com and he gave me an older driver to try, which didn't affect things. I also used his tester program which seemed to test out fine when I held the remote within 3-4" of the IR sensor.

Basically, I have it working except that 1) as soon as I reboot my computer OR 2) go into GB-PVR config to make a change, I have the 99% CPU problem again and it doesn't work anymore.

To get it to work again, I have to uninstall the USB-UIRT device in device manager and reboot the computer when it prompts me. As the computer comes up, it sees that the USB-UIRT is attached asks to install the software. I install the software and everything works great until I either reboot or go into config again. I already have the usb-uirt-remote.ini file in there all set from previous attempts so I don't need to relearn any buttons.

My .ini file only contains 2 sets of numbers for each button now. Before, when I would miss a button or possibly doublepush one, I would relearn the button and that would start giving me more sets of numbers which doesn't seem correct. Attached is my new .ini file.

What could possibly cause this?:confused:

Thanks for looking.

I'm using a USB-UIRT and a PVR 150 as well.

I had all sorts of problems with the PVR 150 working with my ECS/AMD 3000+ computer. Timestamp issues, picture issues, driver issues, even network issues.... what a mess. What I ended up doing was moving my 2 PVR 150 into a Asus/Celeron 2G combo. Other than some audio distortion and dark pictures, this seems to fix my problems.

I think the PVR 150 has a lot more compatibility issues with motherboards than people realize. I don't know if it's the driver or the hardware, but I do know it can be a pain in the arse to figure out.

One other thing I forgot to mention.

Make sure your power supply is enough to drive all those equipment.
