I'm new to npvr so excuse me if my question is poorly formed. The eventghost/npvr/xbmc all-at-once learning curve is a bit steep at times.
I want my fast forward and rewind keys to do just that when playing back a recording, rather than skipping. Looking in keymappings.xml the relevant bit seems to be this:
Ctrl+F and Ctrl+R (the ff/rewind keys on my remote) do perform the skip so it seems to be working as intended. Am I able to edit the command fields to make them do rewind and fast forward rather than skip? Four skip keys is more than I need!
Is there a list of valid commands? The reference in the wiki seems a bit incomplete/out of date.
Hope that makes sense, cheers!
ps great product, many thanks to all those who contributed.
I know that at least a few of us don't have much experience with C#, so I thought it might be nice to have a thread with short tips and tricks, but obviously focused around NPVR and its API.
Here's one to kick things off...
This demonstrates two things: how to let a plugin continue to work if the user's skin doesn't support it, and how to merge the contents of a "global.xml" skin file with another file. I needed the latter to define some extra fonts that aren't in the main set without having to redefine them in every skin file that my plugin uses (popups, different views, and so on).
Code:
internal SkinHelper GetSkinHelper(string name)
{
SkinHelper shMain = null;
SkinHelper shGlbl = null;
// Load the required files, either from the current skin's folder...
if (Directory.Exists(SettingsHelper.GetInstance().GetSkinDirectory() + "VideosPlus"))
{
shMain = new SkinHelper("VideosPlus\\" + name);
shGlbl = new SkinHelper("VideosPlus\\global.xml");
}
// ...or from the Default skin if they couldn't be found
else
{
shMain = new SkinHelper("..\\Default\\VideosPlus\\" + name);
shGlbl = new SkinHelper("..\\Default\\VideosPlus\\global.xml");
}
// Now merge in everything found in global.xml
DataSet dsMain = new DataSet();
DataSet dsGlbl = new DataSet();
dsMain.ReadXml(new XmlNodeReader(shMain.GetBackingDocument()));
dsGlbl.ReadXml(new XmlNodeReader(shGlbl.GetBackingDocument()));
dsMain.Merge(dsGlbl);
shMain.GetBackingDocument().LoadXml(dsMain.GetXml());
return shMain;
}
Feel free to use, abuse and critique, especially if it turns out that there's a better way of doing it
Canadian stations have now begun the transition to digital.
Yesterday I was able to scan and add one new channel.
Today there is another newbie, when I run a scan on any of the three tuners (ATI650,Haup2250) I get a result of one and only one different channel and am unable to see the new channel.
I use TSreader and it sees the new staion.
I also have a dual boot with GBpvr on that OS and it sees the new channel
Npvr 2.1.5 AND patched
Ran DVBfix too
I thought somewhere along the way we'd disabled the display of file extensions in the various library screens? Am I remembering GB-PVR? Anyhow, it'd be cosmetically pleasing to not see the file extensions.
I have a problem with the screen saver. My pictures folder is all set up and the pictures work fine when using the browser but when the screen saver comes on it just displays a blank white square where the random picture should be.
I know it's not a novelty for a lot of you, but its showing here. Unreal. We never get snow in Wellington.
It snowed yesterday for a couple of hours, and started again about an hour ago. All the tree's and roofs are coated and it looks like some surreal postcard christmas scene.
I'm suddenly getting audio description mpeg on Channel 4 HD, rather than the DD track. I dunno if this is something that's just changed, or whether I've never noticed before.
