hi!
i noticed that, when manually starting record during live tv, npvr does not keep the buffer, like gbpvr used to, and instead starts to record only from that moment on - so you can't save something after you've seen it on live tv - is that going to be implemented?
also, on my one tuner system, hitting record exits from live tv to the main menu, and trying to go back to tv results in "no tuner available", instead of asking if i'd want to view the current recording - that would be nice, too!
Is it possible for nPVR to have the following two additions:
1. external task so that I can start another player from the main menu - I like to start VLC for DVD playing because it can skip all the trailers
2. external player when in the video library primarily - I would like to have the choice of playing natively or through an external player like VLC - sometimes I just don't want to have to deal with codecs
I'm still using the old GBPVR andI keep looking at the improvements in nPVR and would like to upgrade but until I can get the above two I can't do with out MyVideos
The work on the metadata.xml files are very promising and adds a lot of eye candy tot he software!
On the bright side, less work for me until then...and GBPVR has been going strong for over two years with almost no problems!! I have to admit though, I'm feeling itchy!!
Windows 7 platform
GB-PVR v1.4.7
Tuner: Hauppauge WinTV HVR850 USB HDTV Adapter
Have installed this adapter on my system, connect to a satellite receiver feed. It works fine to watch TV using Win TV, however I cannot get GB PVR configured to work with it.
From the main PVRX2 menu, whenever I select Manual Record or Live TV, control just bounces right back to the main menu.
I am trying to find the NPVR equivalents to the 'IsPlaying' methods including:
GBPVRPublic.IPluginHelper.IsPlayingMusic()
GBPVRPublic.IPluginHelper.IsPlayingDVD()
GBPVRPublic.IPluginHelper.IsPlayingTV()
GBPVRPublic.IPluginHelper.IsPlayingVideo()
I've trained GBPVR to do a lot of exciting things, including, with the help of GraphRecorder, streaming flash video into TV recordings.
The problem I am having is that I can't time-shift the FLV files because the GBPVR recording service will not recognise that extension. When I change the extension to .mpg, the file plays after it is complete, but not while it is downloading.
I realise that GBPVR and its plugins are now considered "legacy" products, but I can't upgrade to NPVR, at least until Graphrecorder and other products have been updated. I was wondering how difficult it would be to get the service to recognise an FLV extension? Alternatively, does anyone know how I can convince my codecs to use the FLV decoder if the MPG decoder doesn't work?
