Recording only produces 2kb file

[chris-at]

A few months ago I had some problems with with a Hauppauge card - ultimately I couldn't get it to work and gave up.

So now I've decided try again and bought a new card for GBPVR (a Terratec Cingergy 1200 DVB-S).

Unfortunately the problem remains: some recordings work and some don't :-(

I've attached the logs where the recording failed in all three cases.

When a recording does not work a small 2kb mpg file is produced (always with the same contents) - I've attached one.

I've also noticed that a 0byte file is created in the c:\Program Files...\GBPVR folder with the name of the recording (not always though).

Has anyone seen this before? How can I possibly fix this?

Thanks for any help!


PS: is http://www.gbpvr.com down? I wanted to check for a new version but I only get timeouts....

there was a patch in the 97.13 survival guide that fixed a problem similar to this (6k) files. I thought it was for dvb-t users but it might be applicable in your case.

only thing is, the guide no longer appears to be around.

Might be worth upgrading to 98.x?

gbpvr.com is up again and I am downloading the new version right now. Thanks!
