Leadtek Winfast PVR2000 problems.

[tog]

Hi all!

I'm just trying to set up GB-PVR to work with my brand new Leadtek Winfast PVR2000 PCI card, but with no luck yet.

Living in Athens, Greece, I cannot find any .xml file containing any channels, so I (probably) cannot set the EPG source correctly. I currently have created a new capture source, with the following configuration:

- Recording Source: Direct Recording Plugin. Settings: Capture Card Type: Leadtek Winfast PVR2000, Country: Germany (for PAL-BG that my country uses), Board Number: Capture Device #1, Source: Composite, External Tuner, Quality Profile Medium.

- EPG Source: XML TV Plugin. Settings: XML TV File: C:\Program Files\gbpvr\config.xml (this must be totally crap, but I do not know what to use here)

- Channel Changer: No Channel Changer required.

- Channels: Nothing.

Now, whenever I press the Live TV button of the program, I keep receiving the error message "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

The case for the TV signal reception is as follows: As I do not have an aerial antenna socket in the computer room, I receive the TV signal from the VCR located in the living room, via a wireless sender/receiver system with which I feed the composite in of the Leadtek card. The bundled program, no matter how limited it may seem, works ok - but I need the functionality (and probably the de-interlacing capabilities) of GB-PVR.

If I need to find a relevant .xml file, I do not know where to look.
If I need to create one, I do not know how to model it.

Could someone please help ?

Thanks in advance,

ToG.

I suggest two things:

1) just put a space character in the XMLTV filename rather than pointing it at config.xml. Its still invalid, but I personally think its better than pointing at config.xml

2) on the misc tab of the config app, uncheck the live preview option. This definitly doesnt work with the PVR2000 as it relies on a couple of Hauppauge components which wont be on your machine.

Hi. I also recently purchased the PVR2000. I am based in the Philippines, but had much the same experience like tog:

- Recording Source: Direct Recording Plugin. Settings: Capture Card Type: Leadtek Winfast PVR2000, Country: USA (for NTSC-M that my country uses), Board Number: Capture Device #1, Source: Internal Tuner, Quality Profile Medium.

- EPG Source: XML TV Plugin. Settings: XML TV File: C:\Program Files\gbpvr\config.xml

- Channel Changer: No Channel Changer required.

- Channels: Nothing

Since there is no EPG here, I had to manually enter the channel name and numbers in the config. I noticed that the Tuner Assistant app has problems because after I exit it, when I do a shutdown, it does not properly do so because the "Tuner Assistant is not responding".

Initially, when I press the Live TV button of the program, I keep receiving the error message "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" but this was resolved by unchecking the live preview option on the misc tab of the config app
