I've had GBPVR on 3 motherboards now, the first didn't, The second did perfectly and the third - a new one won't.
I've been looking at forums and this seems to be a common problem - the idle detection in windows is unreliable.
Does anyone know of how to get this going well?
(Feature request) If GBPVR had an option to go to sleep after a period of inactivity it could work well as it would know whether its idle.
I have been using GBPVR for some time now. I have used both recent versions 10311 and 10407 and both versions have the same issue.
1. If a scheduled recording starts whilst watching a recording then the HTPC restarts.
2. If I restart the recording service whilst its already recording, again the HTPC restarts. (I know i should do that, but i think its caused by the same issue).
I have rebuilt the system numerous times and the problem remains. I have all the latest windows updates etc.
I have looked through the log files but i dont quite know what I am looking for.
Hi all.
recently purchased an Technika AEDTR160S7 hard drive freeview recorder.
i have a problem when recording. what ever i am recording seems to jump alot as if its missed like an odd second of the program here and there. also while recording what every channel you are watching jumps the same. when not recording every thing is fine. we have a good signal here so if any one can suggest any thing it would be great.
When implementing BaseButtonListUiTask, you have two methods/functions (among others): GetName() and GetDescription(). This GetDescription() example uses GBPVRCommonUtilities (a third party library) while the GetName() example does not. You can choose which you want and use the same method for both. This example is in C#
Code:
// This example requires a reference to GBPVRCommonUtilities
public override string getDescription()
{
System.Xml.XmlDocument s = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
try { s.Load("config.xml"); }
catch
{
// Custom log method. Do whatever you like here in the event that config.xml could not be loaded.
// CommonUtils.LogMessage(LogLevel.Error, "Could not load config.xml");
}
// This queries <PluginSettings> <NetflixPlugin> <WatchNowDesc>, if it is not found, it returns "Watch movies from netflix.com" by default.
return ConfigFileUtilities.GetStringConfigSetting(s, "NetflixPlugin", "WatchNowDesc", "Watch movies from netflix.com", false);
}
// This example requires no additional references.
public override string getName()
{
string DispName;
System.Xml.XmlDocument s = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
try
{
s.Load("config.xml");
// This queries <PluginSettings> <NetflixPlugin> <WatchNowName>.
DispName = s.SelectSingleNode("/settings/PluginSettings/NetflixPlugin/WatchNowName").InnerText;
}
catch (Exception)
{
If the query fails, use this value by default.
DispName = "Netflix Watch Now";
}
return DispName;
}
So in my plugin setting section of config.xml, I can have the following to make them appear in the main menu of GBPVR:
You can add a text field in your Config form if you like or just have people edit the config.xml manually if you only want power users to do it. Keep in mind that if you allow the change in your Config form, users must exit Config, then reopen it and enable the plugin under the new name. If they just change the description, restarting Config is not necessary.
Edit: I stink at instructions so feel free to ask questions on anything that's not clear.
Edit 2: Corrected the post. BaseButtonListUiTask should be implemented and not IMenuTask.
Fantastic program!!! I've been using it (1.4.7) for months with no glitches ... two FTA TV Tuners (Twinhan & DVICo).
BUT (there's always a 'but'), I rebooted the PC this morning, and GBPVR won't load! It runs the Tray app OK, but won't recognise the tuners (but ChrisTV does) and won't let me into the CONFIG of PVRX2 programmes, without throwing this error:
===== =====

GBPVR is such a friendly program, I'd hate to think that I've upset its friendlyname unintentionally!
I tried to <repair> it, but no good (it just kept rolling back ...)
I uninstalled it (ControlPanel)l and re-installed it, but no good (same behaviour as above)
Sorry, but I just don't understan what I've done to upset it! Advice gratefully received

I also found that the standard Net Radio plugin now creates its gbnetradio-n.mp3 file in c:\temp even with WR2 still on the desktop - is that part of the same problem?
I have associated a thumbnail bitmap with each directory in the video archive. After I drill a few levels down and navigate around for a while VA would invariably start losing thumbnails. I had to restart gbpvr for the thumbnails to be displayed again. Anyone else see this problem?
I've never had this issue before, but my wife came across a recording that won't play in mvpmcx2 on the PCH.
It's an ATSC recording (via HDHomerun) that plays fine on my PC via GBPVR. It also plays fine in using the A100's regulare interface (Gaya?). However, attempting to play via GBPVR on the PCH, it just hangs on a blank screen with the program information being displayed. The only way out is to press "power" & restart the GBPVR interface.
Anyone else come across this behavior? I'm not overly concerned because this is the first time something like this has occured, but if anyone is interested in taking a look, I can provide logs & upload the recording somewhere...
