I have the latest version of GBPVR installed on both a host and client machine. I the Community SD Skin with the Glow Theme installed on both computers. When I enter "Skin" from the GBPVR menu on the host machine or via MediaMVP, everything works as expected. However, whenever I try to enter "Dkin" through GBPVR's menu on the client machine, I received the following error:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application..."
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
[The error details are in the "Windows Error.txt" file in the attached logs zip.]
Following the error, the GBPVR instance will eventually become responsive again, but it does not enter the "Skin" menu.
Both machines are running Windows 7 and are both up to date with Windows Update. Also, both installations of GBPVR are the same with the exception of the MediaMVP Position plugin on the host machine.
EDIT: I wanted to add that when looking through the logs' errors, I am seeing a number of references to the D: drive. On my client machine, the D: drive is just a small factory installed, HP Recovery partition only. Not sure if that is an issue or not.
Does anyone have any advice/input? The client machine seems to schedule and perform other PVR functions as needed without issue except for this "Skin" issue. Thanks in advance.

i need someone to create a blue skin for this, and not use any of the existing graphics, most of them are from boxee alpha. i want this to be done before a next release.
this is a very very very alpha release. it hasn't been tested much or used much for over a year. and i rushed to get it up now.
When I scan for channels (cable tv) I observe that the same channel is found on multiple transponders/frequencies, Since I use DVB-EPG I don't have a choice in the Mapping field so I can choose different frequencies, like when using XMLTV. How does the config app select which transponder it picks a cretain channel from, is it the first found, the last found or does it look at the signal strength?
I'm asking because I have a problem recording some HD-channels with very weak signal, but maybe the signal is stronger on another transponder, but the thing is that I have no way of testing the different transponders.
So I just installed a splitter to my antenna and a HVR-850 USB dongle and I'm not getting any stations on my dongle. I am, however, getting stations on my TV so I know that I am getting some sort of signal. Attached are my config.exe.log stuff.
Also I am running windows 7 x64 and GB-PVR is detecting my tuner as a HVR-950Q even though it is a HVR-850. Also I tried their app (wintv 7) and I still didn't pick up any channels.
When I am viewing a video via the video inset, if I select the "Back" selection within a submenu, the video stops.
I can select the "Exit" button on my remote, and it will exit the submenu fine. It seems like it has something to do with the way the Back item on the submenu menu is implemented.
I installed the newest version 1.0.28.6. I want to save the thumbnail files with the video because I have over 2400 records in the database. For movie files (.ts etc) it stores the thumbnail files with the video file. For DVDs, it stores the files in C:\Program Files\devnz\GBPVR\media\art .
On my GBPVR client I can see all thumbnails for regular movie files but not for the DVDs unless I copy all the thumbnails to the C:\Program Files\devnz\GBPVR\media\art directory on the client machine.
Is there a way to change the media\art directory to a network share or what is the solution for this?
Since some of you seem to be able to get the HDPVR running, can you offer any suggestions? TME records nicely but GBPVR recordings rarely are more than 0 byes but I have had 1 or 2 (out of 100's) that were about 5MB and playable.
They also alternate between mpg and ts filenames
Another problem is that device seems to report but a lot of zero values
I looked around but hadn't seen anything covering the specific problem I am having this evening (it is very likely that my gbpvr search-fu is poor). I am running the latest edition of GBPVR and have an EPG subscription with SchedulesDirect. I noticed that some of my channel listing was incorrect because my SchedulesDirect lineup was not accurate. I fixed the SchedulesDirect lineup, dumped my existing EPG, existing GBPVR Channel Listing and redownloaded the Schedules Direct lineup. After doing this, I found that my Channel Listing in the Config program was spot on and read exactly as my subscribed Dish Network channels are. However, when I open up the TV guide, I find that the channels and programming schedule is not even close to my SchedulesDirect lineup or the Channel Listing in the Config program. When I say not even close, I seriously mean that the call letters and show schedule is way off in left field.
Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? I would think that it is a EPG data problem, but if that is the case, how was the Channel Listing in the Config program correctly populated? Any ideas?
