I finally got around to fixing something that has been bugging me for awhile. In the SelectedShowDetails box in the TV Guide, it only allocates one line for the Title and Subtitle (ie, the @showTitleSubtitle text element). Many shows far exceed this allowance, which was particularly annoying with shows were the Title filled the whole line, but what I really needed to see was the Episode title (ie, the Subtitle). I first toyed around with displaying the Title on the first line and the Subtitle on a second line, using the @showTitle and @showSubtitle elements sub added at my request awhile back, but then found some shows where the Title alone overran the allotted space, yet had no subtitle. I ended up keeping the Title & Subtitle together, and simply expanding the allotted space. I also decided I liked the show time in the smaller GeneralTextStyle instead of the Header style, which also allowed a little more room for the TitleSubtitle box.
Here's the code for for your consideration, changes in red. That's for the SD TV Guide skin.xml. I don't have a good way to mess with the WS skin, but the adjustments should be similar.
edit: I guess I should have changed the vertical size of the @showDescription element; starting at 2,45 and sized at 96,70 means it will run off the bottom of the box. It probably doesn't matter, PVRX2 won't complain, but I guess it should be 50 or maybe 53.
Is there any way to adjust the audio delay +/- during playback using a remote? If not, is there anyway to map a keyboard shortcut to adjust audio delay during playback? I am using a Windows MCE style remote.
Hi. Thanks for the great forums and Sub, thanks for the excellent GBPVR software!!! I've been a user of it for 3 years and have pretty regularly checked and searched the forums to get my setup perfect. Its really become a hobby (in fact, my wife might say an addiction).
However, I'm upgrading some equipment and am selling my 2 MediaMVP extenders. Not sure if "advertising" is frowned upon or not, but if anyone is interested, they are listed at:
Both are in great condition and include all necessary components - however, the second is missing the stand. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm asking $60 for each, but shipping is free, because I'd like them to go to a good home. However, I'm only able to ship to N. America. Thanks again for the great forums....
An issue with recording with the HDHomeRun was brought to my attention on the Silicondust forums. slimhe was having an issue where he could view LiveTV fine but all recording attempts resulted in 0KB files. He and I have been working via email to resolve the issue and he allowed me remote access to the machine. It appears that I am behind on my HDHomeRun software (running 20100120beta2).
He was running GBPVR 1.4.7, HDHomeRun Release 20100213 and Windows XP and the GBPVR setting to submit the tuning request twice on record was causing the issue. The resolution was to change the following setting in GBPVR's config.xml:
Apologies for all the support posts i've submitted (and will submit!), I am trying to integrate an eGreat M34A into my setup and having a few difficulties. First question; playing around with watching shows from the guide, I had a few instances of black screens when I selected an HD channel. I haven't tested it thoroughly, but it seemed like if
1) My HD STB was currently tuned to an SD channel
2) I tried to watch an HD channel through the NMT/GB-PVR
GB-PVR would fire up the HD-PVR and then switch the STB channel, but I would get no video. At least one time I tried to watch the HD chan again and it worked the second time. Is that a "feature" of the HD-PVR, that it doesn't deal well with switching resolutions when a recording has been started?
Second issue; an apparent problem starting multiple MVP server instances. I have my new NMT and an old MVP I'd like to run simultaneously (2 TV sets). I upped my MVP servers to 3 in the config screen (because 2 wasn't working) and here's what happens; my config.xml (attached) shows what I would expect
<MVPServerAutostart>3</MVPServerAutostart>
but when I look in my logs (also attached) I see
2010-04-24 09:43:40.218 VERBOSE [4] getValue() loading new key/value into cache: /settings/MVPServerAutostart
2010-04-24 09:43:40.218 VERBOSE [4] getValue: /settings/MVPServerAutostart : 1
When I alt-tab I can only find 1 MVP Controller process. I am assuming that these observations explain why I am unable to use my MVP when my NMT is up; the MVP times out on connecting to server. Any ideas on how to get GB-PVR to start at least 2 servers?
I recently bought a PC fitted with this card but I cannot get it to work with GBPVR or Nero, although it works with Windows Media Center. There is not much info on the Internet about this card and I have carried out standard procedures like updating drivers with no success. Nero recognises the analogue TV from the card and will scan and store digital channel information, but will not display any output either video or sound. GBPVR does not recognise the card at all. Does anybody have any suggestions?
I tried searching through the forum, but couldn't come up with anything. I was hoping there is a simple way to make snapshots of the screen while watching a show. I've got an episode of "Yard Crashers" I would like to make a couple of snapshots of to show my family. Is there an easy way to do this in GVPVR? I couldn't find it in the Wiki either. I'm hoping I missed something.
Hi I have an HVR 1950 Hybird USB card and am curious as to how does the haupblast.exe work. Does it use the configuration set up in blast.cfg tool from hauppauge or is it something else. Reason why I ask is because the ir blaster did not work right out of the box with wintv 7 but when I choose the haupblast.exe for the channel changing plugin to have gbpvr change the channel on my cable box, it worked without any configuration. Thanks.
