Hi,
I'm new here and playing a little bit with this nice software. I'm senior software developper by myself and had special view of what is nessesary in a mediacenter sw and what ist nonsens.
So I dont like a slow and too much designed gui. my wife and my son must use it also. I found what i need here, but
the current version is not very new. Is anybody still developing on it?:eek:
In the search result screen, I am able to select shows not yet scheduled for recording and choose to record them. However, shows that already are scheduled cannot be accessed. I would like the option to enter them and cancel/change the recording. Instead I have to exit back to main menu and enter the recordings menu.
Am I missing something or is this not possible for a reason?
I just downloaded CS WS Edition (v4.0.4). Install went fine, set CS as default in config.
When running PVRX2 and selecting the skin plugin, I get the following repeating exception:
Code:
2009-09-03 22:15:54.781 ERROR [1] Unexpected error: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

in a nutshell, Hauppauge packaged a HVR-1600 card with an IR Blaster made by Microsoft called the "ehome infrared transceiver". I cannot get this to work under Windows XP nor can I get it to work under WHS.
After scavenging around I found some drivers... but ha.. they wouldn't work... windows cannot find compatible hardware blah blah blah.
So in that thread, it was discovered that by modifying the irbus.inf file and replacing the VID and PID numbers with your own (found in device manager) that the driver would install and you could go from there...
Sooo... I've done that and it gave me a warning .. driver is unsigned blah blah.. fine, clicked continue and while it appeared to take it.. now the "device cannot start"
so my question is.. Now what do I do???
I have a feeling this nightmare is gonna get worse before it gets better :confused:
It looks like a number of us old/partially blind users are interested in knowing what is happening with the weather & because I happen to be one of them I am slowly doing a Weather2 B-R-SHV skin for it that I will upload within the next couple of days time permitting.
But we will need to grovel very nicely to scb147 as there are a few screen displays I just don't have enough room to be able to display with big fonts in the forecast area (as I can't get to them at the moment having 0 days forecast I can't describe the exact problem at the moment)
In the mean time just copy ..\skin2\blue\weather2 into ..\skin2\Blue-Retro-SHV\weather2 & it will work fine.
After installing GBPVR 1.4.7 I would put my laptop into hibernation and store it away for the night, and the next day the battery would be completely rundown. It seemed like something was starting the laptop up in the night. I went into Config and noticed some check-boxes under the EPG section:
Wake Machine
Complete EPG reload
I couldn't remember if these were there in the previous version, but I suspect this is what was starting my laptop up. I unchecked the boxes and will see if this stops the battery drain.
Program 'Merlin' is set to record at 19:00 with 2 minutes pre-padding. Recording starts on time and seems to stop at the right time, but the recorded file is only 66MB, post-processing does not get run, status continues to show Merlin as recording and Recordingservice is left running at 99-100% cpu until I restart it.
The program is on BBC3 which is a part time channel (with CBBC) - switch over is at 19:00. The recording which is created shows the end of CBBC finishing off with about 10 seconds of black screen. Presumably, Recordingservice is stopping the recording after so many seconds of 'no signal'.
The main problem is the fact that Recordingservice never recovers. Also, short of manually removing the pre-padding, is there any way of catching the first program on these part-time channels. It happens on 1.4.7 and 1.3.11.
I installed Weather2. At first it did not work, but I copied the weather2 folder from the blue skin to the SHV skin that I use. It worked! Then I found that PVRX2 stopped with a send to microsoft popup. I think Weater2 caused this problem.
I've made this sticky (closed) thread to post useful information about problems that may arise, or to get useful tips out there. I'll add more information to this thread as we start to get feedback from this new release. If anyone has info they feel should be included here, please PM me.
