PlayTV@P7000 Blackbird

[hasso]

I've got a PVR350 and just added the PlayTV@P7000 and I am not having any luck getting it to work. When I try LiveTV the log extract says:
23:23:08.627 VERBOSE ConexantRecorder::StartRecording(2, 64, 63, 0)

Is this card still supported, or am I out of luck?

Both should setup as device #1.

Thanks, sub. I'll give it a try tonight. I had the PVR350 as device 1 and the P7000 as device 2.

Well, I tried your suggestion without success. I removed the PVR350 leaving just the Pixelview PlayTV@7000 (using the PlayTV@P7000 Blackbird setting at device 1) and still get an error:

any other suggestions?

OK... I don't understand, but I put the PVR350 back in, reconfigured once again, put both devices to 1, and now the thing is working! I can record on one, and get live TV with the other. I don't get it, but it works.

[hasso]

Spoke too soon! I still get the same error in the case where Live TV is showing through the P7000.

Look at your logs again. You have something missing. The clue is "Pins"

Try disabling live preview mode. Its definitely not supportyed by the PlayTV@P7000

[hasso]

Thanks for the support. I'll give that a try tonight.

Interesting that both cards need to be setup as device #1. Any particular reason?

In the present configuration, when both devices are 'sleeping', GBPVR always picks the P7000 for recording first, and the PVR350 for viewing first... which means I do not get the error in that case. The error only seems to occur if I am concurrently recording on both, and the P7000 finishes first, and is then used for Live TV. Leads me to think your suggestion is on the right track.

Its the device number for that specific device driver. So, if you set it to P7000/device number #2, then its looking for the *second* P7000.
