Last night, I had occasion to check three recurring recordings in my pending list. This morning, they were all gone. When I looked further, I discovered that all the recurring recordings of a certain type are gone. This appears to be after a guide update.
More detail: I import recordings from three sources depending on the channel: ScheduledDirect, my own XML file from the TVxB scraper, and the embedded DVB guide data. It is only the last type of recurring entry that has vanished; those that came from the DVB terrestrial data directly.
The guide is correct. All the entries are there, viewable and recordable. The entries are also still visible in the "recurring recordings" list. They have simply vanished from the pending list, and are no longer set to record.
While I am at it, I have a similar problem, more frequently but on a lesser scale. Every so often, one instance of a recurring show will vanish from the pending list, and thus fail to record. Usually, if I check the same series the next day or week, it is still set to record; only the one episode disappears.
I had a hard drive failure and upon installing a new hard drive and copying stuff over, I cannot get the PC Client PVRX2 to work. It will open, but there are no recordings shown, and the pending recordings are from 2007--and it won't let me cancel those either. I can pull up videos fine in the video library and they play fine. But nothing else seems to work, including Live TV.
My MVP is fine though--it shows the correct recordings new and pending. It must also be getting the recording service to work, but it successfully records the shows I have in the EPG.
I have been reading through my logs to look for an issue, but can't seem to find it. I have tried all three types of logs, but am not exactly sure what I am looking for.
Can anyone please post the scan.cache entry for the new ITV 1 HD channel? It launched at 6am today.
I am confused, because the original 'red button' channel still works fine, and has been full-time for the last week or so. So will it continue on two transponders?
After installing the latest version, all I could do was to watch it try to update. The 'updating' stayed on the menu for over 8 minutes. So, I reinstalled....same thing. I then uninstalled completely, removed the weather2 directory and started from scratch. Now when trying to start config I get "object reference not set to an instance of an object". Click ok and another loading error but config starts. Under the plugins tab, there are no plugins showing. As soon as I uninstall Weather2, config starts just fine.
What did I do wrong?
I installed the latest (April 1 version) of Weather2. The good news is that it no longer crashes PVRX2.
The bad news is that it still has problems with Alerts. It gives error message: Error within alert_source.html file. If you want a location for testing that currently has alerts, use Honolulu, HI.
Also, in the PVRX2.exe log there was the following messages. I use the Community skin.

I have been wondering how can we get fanart into gbpvr so the background changes when we select a movie or tv directory. Currently on my rig the only plugin that supports the full back ground changes are the Videos Library plgun and the default blue skin that comes with gbpvr.
I have found a pretty awesome cover and fanart scraper that works pretty good with gbpvr's recording files and downloads the art without much file changing so a batch is real easy. The picture is in the wrong file name (fanart.jpg vs background.jpg for gbpvr) I decided to scrap some movie directories and change the fanart.jpg to background.jpg and it works well. Creatively you can find a way to batch 100's of directories to background.jpg easily.. anyway
The program is called Ember Media Manager and has options to save metadata and cover/fanart in many formats for various htpc software. get it here http://code.google.com/p/embermediamanager/
ok so fan art displays fine in the videos library plugin using the blue skin in gbpvr but when I try community skin 4 I get no back ground changes.
A picture says a thousands words so here are the examples of the blue skin and community skin using videos library plugin and I am wondering if the devs plan on adding these features to the skins? Mayham3 also does not take advantage of these features.
