Getting my feet wet with plugin development by creating a little audio app. I can play audio files from my plugin, and "now playing" shows on the main menu and screen saver, but I have been unable to figure out how to make it appear on my plugin screen. I have browsed the libraries and all the code samples I could find, but nothing has jumped out at me. Is this a skin configuration item, or do I need to add something to my code? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

When I first switched to NPVR and adopted the off-air EPG I was getting about 5 days of programs. Recently the EPG has appeared empty a couple of times. This happened today so I forced an EPG update and now I have some info but it's patchy with BBC1 only showing about 6 hrs of programs and BBC2 showing some today followed by several hours blank then some programs tomorrow. I'm assuming this is a problem at source but wonder if anyone else is experiencing it?

Thanks.

I have just discovered that whatever I set in the Audio Renderer List - even though config xml is updated - the logs show that the default direct sound filter is loaded.
In GBPVR I was never able to use the default audio renderer as it caused video instability (always the realtek or realtek direct sound - depending on driver version gave good results)

I am finding the same problems at the moment with NPVR - Programs having to be started multiple times to get a picture - jamming on skipping etc.

I had a recording scheduled and NPVR did not start. I has locked up repeatedly every time I try to schedule a new recording.

I turned to GBPVR to catch the shows.

Would it be possible to show the name of the server machine up beside the date and server time - what with having two live servers and one dev machine and me getting on a bit, I often get a bit confused as to which system I'm looking at...

Recently, for whatever reason, scheduled and manually recorded programs are being recorded (file is created) but there is no data in the file to play back when the recording is finished. I can watch the program while recording but see nothing being saved to the file.

How do I fix this?

Thanks

I just installed GB PVR the other day in search of an app that could replace the bloated MCE PVR, and allow me to play content through a Playstation 3. Everything works out well for me except for two things.

1. How do you configure settings related to automatically pruning recorded shows ? Say set a limit so the recorded shows take up 70% of the HD then the PVR drops the oldest show until there is ample space.

If GBPVR can't do this by default does anyone know of a utility that will do this, there has to be one out there.


2. Is there a way to have GB-PVR save the recordings in one folder as opposed to by folder with the shows name ? This way it's easier to find recently recorded shows on the PS3.

Let me know if you need any more information. I greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Hi folks

I'm having some problems with my update EPG. I'm running 1.4.7 and things have been pretty stable for a while, but frequently my guide data doesn't update right.


my updateepg looks like this:

[INDENT]
append a log entry to a txt file (so i can see when updateepg is being run)
mc2xml (the new version from just a few weeks ago)
nircmd to mute the speakers
ultraxml
nircmd to unmute
pvrx2.exe --OnlyUpdateEPG[/INDENT]


1. Is the last line required? Or will PVRX2 eventually figure out that the XML has been updated?


2. I have my EPG Updates in the config screen set to run at 4am. So why is my epgupdate log file showing the following runs:

[INDENT]Sun 08/15/2010 4:00:49.08
Sun 08/15/2010 18:32:22.82
Sun 08/15/2010 18:33:17.07
Sun 08/15/2010 18:39:57.01
Sun 08/15/2010 19:05:13.03
Mon 08/16/2010 4:04:45.45
Mon 08/16/2010 4:57:10.94
Wed 08/18/2010 4:06:06.76
Wed 08/18/2010 21:14:47.99
Thu 08/19/2010 4:06:04.79 [/INDENT]


My assumption is this has something to do with mc2xml failing and/or UltraXML hanging, GPPVR never seeing the new XML, and then trying to run the update again.


I wonder if I should empty my updateepg.bat and use windows scheduler to run the EPG updates instead of GBPBR, and just let GBPVR "discover" the updated XML every morning at 445am after running the empty updateEPG.bat


I also tried adding some "taskkill" lines at the beginning of the .bat so that if UltraXML was hung from the last time, it would kill it before trying to run it again.


I'm going to keep poking around with this, but any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks!

Attached is the first release of the command line interface to run auto searches used by NEWA that are flagged for auto-search (set reminders....but there is none at this point) or auto-record (record matching shows automatically).

The wiki has the explanation of what Auto-Search/Record can do as well as how to use this command line programme to run your saved Auto-Searches outside of EWA via your favorite scheduling package.

Post any results/issues you find in this thread....

Thanks.

[Edit] 2011-10-14: Updated to latest NEWA Schedule class which includes day filtering and several bug fixes. Just replace your existing files.
