I decided to write down the steps I've just gone through doing a fresh install just now. How I WISH this had existed a few months ago!
Requirements:
Steps:
When config starts, stop and set up the EPG:
Back in GBPVR config:
Back in Edit Recording Source:
Set up other options in config as desired.. mine has Overlay Manager for PVRX2 Video Renderer, VMR7 for GBPVR.exe Renderer (I'm using both as I try and get my PC working with PVRX2 correctly,) System Default for each of the options under MPEG-2 Playback, and Microsoft DVR-MS for BDA Multiplexer (I used to have MainConcept in there .. not sure how to get it back?)
... ok that's how I thought it should go, however my EPG in GBPVR is empty. I have done this successfully a few times before, so I'm sure I'll get it, but can anyone see where I went wrong?
Cheers
Julian.
Requirements:
- Download of "CD Digital V4.0A" - a complete set of Hauppauge device drivers (can't remember where it comes from, but it's somewhere on the Hauppauge myriad of websites)
- Download of XMLTV EPG files (I use http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utility/Djkxml)
- Download of SatelliteFix.exe
- and of course - a computer, GBPVR, Windows XP/MCE/Vista etc
Steps:
- If you want to, uninstall Hauppauge drivers and software using C:\CD Digital V4.0A\hcwclear.exe
- Install drivers using *:\CD Digital V4.0A\HcwDriverInstall.exe
- ... cancel Windows "found hardware" dialogs, the installer will do everything.
- Run SatelliteFix.exe
- Install IR remote app using *:\CD Digital V4.0A\setup.exe
- Install GBPVR
When config starts, stop and set up the EPG:
- Copy djkxml.exe to C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\epg\djkxml.exe (or wherever)
- Run it, choose your channels you want it to get program info and descriptions for
- Click Save and close the EPG config app
- Run djkxml.exe again. It should download the stuff
- Wait for it to finish (might take a while)
... you want it to be finished before you do the EPG stuff below (I think)
Back in GBPVR config:
- Setup the Recording Source as Digital Recording Plugin
- In settings/BDA Device configuration:
- Device type is Hauppauge HVR-3000 (DVB-S)
- Region/Transmitter = Optus D1 (NZ FTA)
- LNB LOF1 = 11300
- LNB Switch = 0
- LNB LOF2 = 11300
- Powered = Y
- DiSEqC = NONE (in my case anyway)
Back in Edit Recording Source:
- Change EPG source to DVB EPG Broadcast
- Click Empty EPG (if desired)
- Click Update EPG and allow the process to finish
- Click Map Digital Channels to EPG Channels
- Click Rescan (or it may scan by itself..?)
- Click "Enabled" on the channels you want to have present in GBPVR
... should roughly match the channels you chose for EPG info downloads,
... but I figure it's ok not to be downloading info for Parliament TV, stratos
... and a few others that weren't present in djkxml
- Click OK
- Change EPG source from DVB EPG Broadcast to XLMTV plugin
- Click settings and browse to your XML file created above.
Set up other options in config as desired.. mine has Overlay Manager for PVRX2 Video Renderer, VMR7 for GBPVR.exe Renderer (I'm using both as I try and get my PC working with PVRX2 correctly,) System Default for each of the options under MPEG-2 Playback, and Microsoft DVR-MS for BDA Multiplexer (I used to have MainConcept in there .. not sure how to get it back?)
... ok that's how I thought it should go, however my EPG in GBPVR is empty. I have done this successfully a few times before, so I'm sure I'll get it, but can anyone see where I went wrong?
