Configuring TV-Server for Hauppauge HD PVR 2 (1 Viewer)

[kpatch]

I am trying to configure my HD PVR 2, but it does not appear as an option for channel mapping, etc. I think I read in another forum post that MP needs to be tweeked and thus, for now, won't work. I read another post where someone had built some DLLs.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Hello and welcome Patrick

Indeed, the HD-PVR 2 is not supported. There is a patch (ie. replacement DLL) that you can try here:

Thanks for the quick response.

I've backed up the original files and copied in the new ones. Do I need to reboot and/or register the dlls (i.e. run regsvr32)?

No and no.
Just stop the TV service and ensure that TV Server configuration is closed before replacing the DLLs, then start the TV service again afterwards.

To stop the TV service:
1. Open TV Server configuration.
2. Go to the "manual control" section.
3. Click "stop service".

To start the TV service, simply attempt to open TV Server configuration when the service is not running. You'll be asked if you want to start the service; select "yes".

Thanks for info. That did the trick. I was able to run live TV. I was also able to configure my USB-UIRT

NowI need to figure out some of the details using the Guide...I have setup the Schedule Direct plugin, thus populating the channels. However, to navigate around the hundreds of channels, I tried to directly enter channel numbers on the keyboard, but that doesn't work.

Again...thanks.

You cannot change channel with number. Only with TVguide.

kilik360...thanks.

Not true.
You can select channels by channel number if you you untick "select channel by index" here:

This assumes that you have set up a blaster to send commands to your set top box and configured TV Server to control that blaster appropriately.

Really ! I will take a look to this.

thanks mm.

Thanks mm from me as well. I am having trouble getting it going though. I think I'll start a new thread on this and another issue I'm having.
