Help!

Just got this Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library message

What does this mean? GBPVR seems to work but things are not recording or working properly in the EPG. ie says it is recording a program that ended an hour ago.

zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

OK here they are

01:18:50.718 VERBOSE FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 Crossbar
01:18:50.718 ERROR Failed to find Crossbar filter

11/29/2006 1:18:50 AM.718 ERROR [35] Error starting recording: Failed to locate configured capture device

It seems to be trying to record from a Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2, but not finding one attached to the machine.

I did have to reinstall the WinTv USB2 PVR a few days ago, but I thought that went fine. The Hauppauge WinTV app works just fine with it and the device manager says that it is working ok. Should I remove the WinTV pvr from the capture devices in GBPVR and reinstall?

[sub]

A long time back some users had problems with their PVR USB2 disappearing after a couple of days. It was fixed with upgrading to the latest drivers from http://www.shspvr.com/smf, rather than using the drivers that came with the device. I'm guessing you've got this same problem.

I used the latest drivers off of the Hauppauge website. I am embarassed to say that I lost the original installation CD. So now what??

[sub]

I dont know - but its very clear from the logs that the device wasnt present when GB-PVR went to record from it.

[fiteclub]

Well, the device is present; I ran the WinTV2000 app and watched live TV right after GBPVR failed to use it! Is it worth trying to re-entering the device in GBPVR config? If not, then what do you suggest? Should I go back to older versions of the drivers??

[sub]

Well, the device is present;

From a drivers point of view, it definitely wasnt present at the time.

I ran the WinTV2000 app and watched live TV right after GBPVR failed to use it!

I dont know, but maybe they do some proprietary magic which reintializes it. At the time GB-PVR went to use device, there was no filter installed called "Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 Crossbar". I suspect if you'd unplugged it and plugged it back, then tried to use it again it would have been fine.

Is it worth trying to re-entering the device in GBPVR config?

No, this would have made no difference.

If not, then what do you suggest? Should I go back to older versions of the drivers??

Next time it happens, try running FilterCheck, then attach the filtercheck.log: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=1...ostcount=6
