Hi, I know this could be done with a plugin, but I like to keep things simple.
On the recordings detail panel there's Play, Delete, Close. COuld we get an "Archive" function. This would archive the episode from it's current location to another location. Basically replacing the recordings directory part path with a new path.
Eg My recordings path is G:\Recordings
Archived Recordings say \\Aragorn\Recordings
Thank you for the Weather2 plugin, excellent work!!! Any chance an "hour by hour" option could be added similar to weather.com? This is nice for seeing what time rain is expected or the how fast the temp will drop, etc. Thank you.
I want to create perfect ini's for each channel. Is there a way that gbpvr can tell comskip to use fox.ini when recording from fox, cbs.ini from cbs, nbc.ini from nbc, etc?
First off, let me say I read the wiki (most of it, like the part concerning my question for example) and debated putting this in hardware, so I apologize if this is misplaced.
I am reading that multiple tuners is more trouble then I expected it would be. I want to record while watching another show - that is all - in HD if the channel offers it. Some higher end Hauppauge's can do that to my knowledge, and they come with a remove.
However, can I view AND record Digital channels at once with two cards? There was a large statement about only being able to do analog + digital, even with two tuners? Does this mean that no mater what i do, I can record say, history channel (digital cable) and watch sifi (syfy, whatever, also digital cable). this seems like a limitation two cards would completely prevent. No one has trouble with two tv's with separate turners (boxes)....
Second questions came up after lurking on the forums for a few hours- Can one remote handle everything i want it to handle? or are remotes soft wired to teh cards themselves, and i'll need to use both, one to controll card 1, one to control card 2...
General information is fine for now (in responses for the remotes, don't need a step by step or anything). Just making sure GB PVR is the product i'm looking for.
Watching live TV on the server (not something I normally do, but this is my spare server). Picking the channels from the TV guide to "watch"
1st, select "channel 4" Fine. Escape to exit.
2nd select ITV1 reports no signal. Escape to exit.
3rd select "channel 4" reports no signal.
use page up/down to swap between the two and no signal.
move one channel further up or down from thos above and sound an picture are back - as are the two channels above.
This is reproducible on this machine. I can't test the main server at the moment.
Signal strength/cables are not a problem as I've watched the the signal level with other tools and it is well up and steady.
Unfortunately I'm off now as a very early start in the morning for a looooooong drive.
Ok, so I've been scanning like mad trying to locate all my Comcast channels that moved to digital. I posted a few suggestions for channel mapping features in the features request forum.
Problems..
1. After a scan, preview a channel. Click on the video to enlarge. It gives you a OK and Cancel button, which seems to cancel you out of channel mappings. Suggestion - Video should open up in its' own window with just a Close (or ok) button.
2. This one is wierd...
Manual scan of a specific channel leaves you at an hourglass. Does that even work? I let it run for a long time and it didn't do anything. Now click STOP. Try to ReScan. Now I get "No channels found. Please check your signal and configuration settings". Click OK. Now every mapping where I had nothing before is now filled with one single channel. Click CANCEL to return back to "Edit Recording Source". Go back into digital channel mapping, and now everything is GONE and it begins to rescan. Click STOP. Click CANCEL. Click CANCEL. Click CANCEL (you're now out of config). Run config again, and go back into the channel mapping. Everything is still gone and rescans. Let it finish and everything should be back.
By the way -- if you map the wrong channel, how can you unmap a channel without deleting all mappings?
I have a few suggestions for the digital channel mapping.
Add a button for the "Digital cable helper" if I want to kick it off again
I'd like to have a few checkbox options for "Digital Channels found during shan" are viewed, such as:
[X] Show encrypted channels
[X] Show already mapped channels
[X] Don't flush scan cache on ReScan
If you toggle the options, the listbox should keep changing its' results. Whatever options you check off, would be checked off the next time.
Typically, I would prefer not to see the encrypted channels nor the channels I've already mapped.
