Is it possible to add "windows screensaver" to screensaver options? Then there would be a host of options available from windows. I liked GBPVR plugin that allowed this option.
I've just uploaded a new version of the TVListings plugin at the wiki.
Changelog:
Quote:- added new images and different font for selected programme
- added option to use the default schedule popups (to use advanced rules etc.)
- added option to change the sort order of the guides
- added 'Categories' popup that lists all upcoming shows of a genre
- added logic to move the guide to the current time after playback has stopped
- added support for the inset rectangle
- the panel no longer tries to clear the now playing area when the application exits
- added option to disable the panel on the mvp
- on the mvp, the panel no longer tries to call ForceRender() after updateing the panel
- added logic that wraps the first line of the description when a star-rating image overlaps
Please note the following when upgrading:
- NPVR 2.0.3 is necessary
- the new version contains skin changes, so if you're not using the default skin, please wait until your skin officially supports v3.5 of the plugin
- there's no need to overwrite an existing "TV Listings.db" database file during upgrade
- for genres/categories, version 3.1 of the XmltvExtras tool is needed and needs to be run after each epg update, see the wiki page of the utility for details
- by default, the plugin sends information about the next recordings to the 'now playing' notification area on the main screen, this can be configured through the settings form of the plugin
I'm trying to update the next blue skin for tvlistings version 3.5 Beta. I've tried to run xmltvextras to populate the tvlistings database but I seem to be getting an error. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
This is the dos error I get... I'm running WinXP SP3 and npvr 2.0.3 with all update patches.
Code:
C:\Program Files\NPVR>xmltvextras
Error connecting to database: The type initializer for 'System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory' threw an exception.
Exiting.

Does Comskip work on a Client? I have just decided to give Comskip a try anf it appears to work on the server with Bars on the Timeline where it thinks commercials are. However when the same file is run on the client nothing shows on the Timeline.
When watching a ts-file recorded with NPVR on my LG 42LD450N the picture quality is slightly lower than if I'm watching live TV with a cable directly into my television set. The quality is equally low when watching live TV through NPVR on my LG 42". I'm using TerraTec Cinergy HTC USB XS HD as capture device. When watching 720p mkv-files via the pc on my TV the quality is higher.
The picture quality through NPVR looks a bit like when the weather is misty. There is no pixellation or deinterlacing. The colours are fine as well.
On a Danish forum a guy told my that slightly lower quality was to be expected when recording with PVR. Is that true? And if not how can I improve the quality through NPVR?
Lately ive noticed that the audio seems to be choppy during live tv.
however if i hit pause and then take it off pause (so its essentally a recording) the audio is then perfect.
This happens regardless of DVB-S or DVB-T signal - but only on Live TV. Never an issue when viewing a recording.
Im currently using Cyberlink PDVD10 codes for both MPEG2 and H264 decoders.
I seem to recall there being a parameter in the GBPVR menu that was some sort of buffer for live tv. Is there a similar setting for NPVR? if so - could someone enlighten me pretty please
I use a Hauppauge TD500 twin tuner card for viewing Freeview HD in NZ.
One thing ive noticed once moving to using NPVR (from GBPVR) - is that the HD recordings always seem to play in the wrong aspect - i always have the picture set to auto - but it doesnt seem to pick up the right aspect. yet if i cycle through the modes back to auto - it goes back to the right aspect again. if i then choose another HD recording its back to scratch and have to cycle through the modes again.
The recordings i have off the NOVA-S and HVR4000 DVB-S tuners are fine - they always seem to pick up the right aspect.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Is this a function of the decoder? HD is using Cyberlink H264/AVC decoder and MPEG2 is using Cyberlink PDVD10 decoder.
Anybody seen this. Clean install windows 7(32B). GBPVR scans channels ok but live tv flashes audio (no video and comes up with "No signal" Hauppauge 4000 cards set to DVB-T. Strangely program records ok but showing "No signal on live view.
Cards work on NPVR fine (good antenna and signal strength so cards installed ok)
Does anyone know of or use a codec selection tool with Windows 7?
I have a few videos on my library (not recorded with GB-PVR) that won't play, and last time I messed around installing new codecs, those trampled on the working ones and I spend a week in pure codec hell.
I used a tool in Win XP that would let me adjust the merit, but with MS providing their own decoders (which mostly work okay), I need something in Win 7 to help me.
I wish there were something that'd just let me pick e.g. I want to do <filter name here> for AC3 and so on.
I having some issues with recording/playback. I have had good success with recordings and play back when I do a quick record when on the computer, but if I schedule a recording sometimes they playback choppy or unusable about 50% of the time. .ts files seem to be missing half the data.
Signal strength and quality of the signal is fine.
The sleep settings on the computer are not set, it is always on. I also tried dropping in another hard drive.
I am running XP Pro SP3, AMD 3400, 1 gig of server ram. Tuner is HD HomeRun.
I have tried different firmware versions as well with the turner.
