I have a clean install of windows 7 pro 32 bit.
running the most recent 3.2.9 just downloaded.
I have a hauppague colossus card as the only tuner.
I am running composite video from an att uverse box into the card.
I have previous files on this machine that were recorded by gbpvr as well as some tv shows in mp4 and a few other file types.
I am not using the epg, nor am I setting it to record anything by time. I straight up just play a show and set it to record for 15 min to an hour or whatever the show is.
problem 1
no shows play back. even current recordings. it shows stuck on 0:00 with 0:00 remaining.
I tried changing encoders, but that doesn't seem to help.
I tried restarting between changes too but I just get the black screen.
the system still responds and I can back out and select something else, but none of them play.
even a recent recording I made with the latest software does the same thing.
I launched these all with windows media player and they all play fine.
problem 2.
no audio on live tv. however the recordings have audio and I can hear it just fine.
Now, I had to play the files back using windows media player due to problem 1, but I can hear the audio just fine.
I even shared them to another machine and they too played just fine with audio.
problem 3
can't cancel once you set something to record.
that pop up window for setting up a recording cannot be canceled out of. the cancel button doesn't seem to do anything.
I tried it with the remote and I tried it with a mouse click. it just sticks unless I say record.
finally 2 questions
old gbpvr let you set a recording by an amount of time rather than clock time.
does that still exist? is there a setting I can change?
does old gbpvr work on windows 7 with the colossus card? incase I can't figure this out.
