Basically it is a a year old and already everyone out there is using folder.jpgs and background.jpgs etc... to create some killer cover art pages for your videos.
everyone is on the bandwagen and doing this from xbmc, media browser for windows 7 my movies, sagetv, mediaportal with moving pictures plugin... to name a few that I tried or looked at. (Gbpvr just works right so I won't migrate to the others..)
with that said I am happy to see that the video plugins author has released the source code and whurlston is trying to bring this project back to life.
On my experience the plugin works very good using the default blue skin only It crashes pvrx2 with a windows error but I can ignore that using the green button on my remote to regain focus and I can continue through the menus..
The serious problem we have is that their is no scraper for gbpvr users that I know of that will get the needed files to make the eye candy work on the directories.they are..
in directory.
video.mpg - your movie
video.jpg - coverart
background.jpg - movie walllpaper for the dir
folder.jpg - cool pic for the top menus
video.xml - movie description
folder.xml - short movie description for top filmstrips menu's
JavaWiz's metadatagrabber can grab the video.jpg and video.xml
The above programs have scrapers for this but I failed to make them work with the file names that gbpvr creates plus my added titles usings zeds awesome guide enhancer for date and rating

lol
I think that with javawizs metadatagrabber grabbing much info that someone can use that info lik mp3 taggers do to display and arrange files based off of year or actor or whatever (comedy)
sub probably has some sweet features already in the works for a future release so I hope the gbpvr programming community see's that together you all have already put the ground work up for what's needed and just have to get together to put all those pieces together to make one killer data skin with all the eye candy.
I have modified that idea to work with whurlston videos plugin and I ran into problems with metadata displaying in the list views. No biggie since I am using the filmstrip view but I would love to get it to disappear when using the other modes.
I will post the skin file I moded encase anyone wants to play with it.
if you put the files in your video structure than the backgrounds etc... will display :d
I made 2 music video directories one acdc and one megadeth and man it looks cool going into each.
Sorry for the rambling. Can you believe this youtube video is a year old? Pretty awesome stuff!

What am I doing wrong?? I'm prepared to be embarrassed by a simple mistake!
Sorry if this has been covered before but I have spent a while looking in the threads and couldn't find any info on it. I am currently running v1.3.11 on windows xp sp2 with the nova-t 500 dual tuner.
My issue is that i have set a program to record on TV1 from 7:30 to 8:00 and then a program on TV3 from 8:00 to 8:30. Now my settings are to start recording 2 minutes before the show starts and 10minutes after. So I should get 10 minutes of TV1 after 8:00 before it stops and 2 minutes before 8:00 on TV3. But what happens is that the recording stops straight at 8 so that it can stop and then start recording TV3. I can record tv1 and tv3 at the same time if i select the two channels at the same time(as in shows that are on at the present time, so not scheduled). They will use tunner1 for TV1 and tunner2 for TV3. But for some reason this doesn't happen for shows that are selected to record in the future. Only tunner1 seems to being used which results in no overrun of the program on TV1 and no early recording of the show on TV3. Anyone had this issue before?
Noob here. I'm wondering if my video card is entirely too lame to watch/capture HD cable. Olympics are coming up and I wanna nab 'em. Here's the vid hardware:
I have been using my NMT now over one year and have installed NMTInstall.exe with no issues. No share issues, can play video fine. The only problem is the menu displays only in the top left corner of my 16x9 screen but video plays full screen. I have followed the instructions with all the default installation. I have powered off the NMT and my PC with no luck.
The PHC did start once in full screen but could not play video the screen only hangs and the only way is to turn off the PCH and power up. The only way to play video is when the menu comes up in the top left corner I know it will play fine but the menu, TV guide,etc... are too small.
Please help, I removed GB-PVR and mvpmc folders and installed again with the same problem.
Hi,
if you want to convert files.ts, recorded by a radio station that broadcasts in DVB-T, in files.mp3 using FFMPEG.
Alternatively, you can convert the same files.ts, devoid of video information in files.mpg For Editing with special software?
Thanks
I run a number of MVPs and one PCH. I run mvpmc on the MVPs but have not upgraded the PCH to use PCH2 mode yet but want to do so. My only worry is that I have a lot of bad timecoding in my ts files. I would say that at least 40-50% have bad timecodes when viewed on the MVPs but most work fine when viewed on the PCH. So my question is if I start to use PCH2 will I start to see the same timecoding issues on the PCH too?
Hope the above makes sense, and thanks for any input.
