I am still have my NMT reboot randomly & I am fairly sure it is when Weather2 does an automatic update, there is always an error in eventviewer. I have attached my logs & eventviewer error message.
Although I don't use DVB-S very much, I have noticed that for Live TV, I get video and audio, but if I record it and then play it back, I get video but no audio. This only happens with DVB-S. Recordings are in .ts format. This seems strange as I would expect both to behave the same. DVB-T is fine. Any ideas?
First of all, after finally getting it running, congrats on the work you've done on the plugin. I sure love the AccuWeather upgrade, and the easy search id function.
Anyway, on to the problem. I spent the last hour scratching my head with this one...
I hate cluttering the main menu, so I usually put non-media oriented plugins inside sub-menus (cinema listings, webcams, weather, etc). And after configuring Weather2, the next thing I did, was just that: put it in my "Serviços" (services in portuguese) sub-menu.
Whenever I tried to open the plugin app I got a error window. From the pvrx2.exe-log (multiple instances of similar/equal error lines such as theses appear after my Enter command):

I tried reinstalling wiz' dlls, changing the video renderer, the works. Nothing did the trick. In the end, what was causing all the fuss, was me putting it in a sub-menu. Put it in the root menu, and voilá, worked like a charm. Put it back in a sub-menu, error...
I can upload some logs if you wish. Just say which ones you need.
GB-PVR and most plugins don't seem to follow good programming practice because they storing program data and support files with the binaries. I know it is historical but it is still bad. Many people having trouble with Vista actually are having trouble because of this and there is no reason for this problem to even exist. I'd like to see it changed but I am curious what users and developers think.
Please uninstall Weather2 V1.0.0.0 if you have it installed. Then delete the Plugins\weather2 folder. I changed the config.xml file to use a different variable type, so old config.xml files from V1.0.0.0 will not work with V1.0.1.2.
Notes:
- Weather2 currently cannot be in a sub-menu, it causes an error.
Changes in Weather2 V1.0.1.2:
- New installer, stops/restarts recording service, keeps newer dll files.
- Renamed "Local" maps to "State" maps.
- "None" option for satellite maps.
- Fix to not even attempt to retrieve a map if it's not available for your area.
- Refresh on Startup option.
- Profile name can be used for Location display.
- Include "weather2.XmlSerializers.dll" file.
- Minor Bug fixes
just wanted to check I've got this right, have looked through some threads.
Currently I have been running my server 24/7, want to be able to put it into standby. Running MVPMC dongle with 3 x MVP's.
When experimenting the server goes into standby for less than 1 minute then wakes again. If an MVP is left on rather than powered down will it have this effect? Or should I be looking elsewhere to find out what is waking the box?
Hi Folks
I have installed the new gbpvr and everything works fine. The only problem is when I go through the tv guide and watch a certain channel for a couple of hours. After 2 shows the screen goes black and does not come back. It looks like it is still recording on the computer.
eg. I watch one program at near the end of it, it stops and then comes back on again (about 3 seconds) So I say that is the padding. All works well, But when the next program gets to the end it stop as normal but does not come back.
The logs are below from last night.
Thanks for any help

Hi
I'm on Xp using version 1.4.7 on a Happauge Nova T 500 and on some channels I can't hear them.
Instead I get a guy saying what is happening.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Also if I view the channels in the config I can hear the sound
this is actually a problem I have had before installing 1.4.7, perhaps even as far back as 2 x previous versions of GBPVR. I have lived with it in the past just by not mapping these channels (even if entered manually they wouldn't work) but would love to work out what is wrong.
My Nova S Plus card just will not find/play certain channels on a few frequencies. For the purposes of testing it again after the upgrade I removed it from my devices list and started again with a fresh scan but still the same problem. I know these channels are there because my FireDTV picks them up on a scan and so also does WinTV with the Nova S.
For simplicities sake I have entered a manual edited cache file with the working channels from the FireDTV. In the config window I select 'Channel 4' and it plays fine in the preview screen, I then select 'Zone Reality' and no preview (even if no preview also won't play from within PVRX2 with this card either).
The logs (attached) look to me as if it thinks it is playing?
