I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, or cared, but...
The current time displayed for "Update Time", is the time the weather data stream has in it. So you could have a couple updates before that time changes, yet the maps get update with newer information before the weather data itself does.
So....
Should I change the update time to show the last time Weather2 updated, or leave it as is?
I often use isohunt to search for torrents, but I do it on a seperate workstation because of the risk of getting viruses and sypware when browsing that site. On my HTPC I do not run antivirus software because I do not access the internet from there. I would like to use the Torrent plugin but I am concerned about how the searches from isohunt would work and the risk of viruses and spyware. Are the searches done using a RSS feed from isohunt that skips all of this adware that is causing the problems when browsing the site?
Here's a database search util batch file i made...can search title,subtitle,description, with wildcards
Just polished it up for general consumption, added help, fixed bullets/crlf..
Usage: dbfind.bat [-t -s -d -a] searchterm
Example: dbfind -t house
Returns: shows with exactly "house" as Title. [case insensitive]
Switches: -t=title -s=subtitle -d=description -a=all3:title,subtitle,description
Use %% as wildcard: -t house%% would return all shows that start with "house"..[similar to house*]
or -t %%house%% would return shows with "house" anywhere in the title..
or -a %%house%% would return shows with "house" anywhere in database..
results sorted by date, case insensitive, only shows in future returned..
Must have sqlite3.exe in gbpvr dir and place batch file there too..
Run with no options for full help..
It's quick and thorough..
of course odd foreign characters will trip up the input, but it should handle almost anything..[Dos]
Case Insensitive and formatted date/times output..
Had a bugger of a time with crlf's in epg data but they work now
[dang bullets]
Copy and save as dbinfo.bat or whatever.bat..

I'm almost done with the Comcast to Verizon switchover but I'm having a heck of a time getting channel changes to work correctly.
I'm using the USB-UIRT as the channel changer and the Motorola QIP2500-3 STB. I've learned the codes a half dozen times and it's close but not working well at all if it has to send a 4 digit code. It does fine up to three but stumbles on 4.
Does anyone have a good working dat file that they wouldn't mind sharing??
I've been using GBpvr for a long time now, it's been trouble free, reliable and while I record TV here and there over the years it's become my main music player. My setup until two days ago was version 99.12 and the Jukebox plug-in. It's become a family and friends favorite, simple to use, even for guests and since more than a few family and friends are in the music business in one area or another, music is always playing here, it's just a staple.
Now that I've been drug into the present (kicking and screaming) and installed the new version of GBpvr I'm in a bit of a quandary. I looked around the Wiki and while I knew Jukebox isn't supported anymore, that's the reason I was still on 99.12. I was hoping to see a replacement of some sort for Jukebox, but I don't see much in the way of simple, easy to use music plug-ins.
So what is everyone using for music these days?
or is GBpvr leaning more toward the video side of things these days?
I recently switched to DVR-MS. For me it works better than TS Mux for several reasons (not the least of which is comskip), but the big drawback is that if a recording isn't closed properly (due to a crash, reboot, other problem in GB-PVR, etc.), the file can't be played. .TS files don't have that problem...
So, anyhow, now I'm in dutch with the wife because I had to shutdown the recording service after one of her recordings failed to finish properly. The DVR-MS file was created, and clearly contains the show, but it can't be played - it just dumps back to the menu. I know this is a known problem with using DVR-MS...
So the question is, is there any way to fix the file so it can be played? Some utility that can just go in and fix whatever is wrong with it?
I am the new member in this forum. Few days back I brought a Frontech JIL-0614 (LCD TV BOX) - external TV tuner box. It is a external TV tuner, so I can watch the TV - only with turn on the LCD monitor. But when the computer is in running mode, that time i am not able to watch the TV, or I am unable to properly setup the TV tuner with computer :confused: [unable to sync the TV tuner with running computer].
And 2nd thing is that, I am not able to scan the all the channel manually or normally. It is always shown something like menu :
---
Fast Scan :
skip : off/on
Sync: TV/Air
Some body can help me regarding all these issue....
Thanks in Advance...
Hi. I am an old hand with GB-PVR, but very new to NMT. Anyhow, the Mayhem3, Blue and Slick skins work fine. Both the WS and SD will not load on my PCH.
I have this happen in 1.3.11 and 1.4.7 both. I do not use Live Preview mode and I know that makes channel changes slow, but my family is used to a LG LRM-519. When I first start Live TV I see a black screen for a few seconds and then everything works fine. When I change channels the video is paused for a few seconds and then the new channel plays but then a second or two later the video pauses for just a second and then plays fine. I tried changing the Live TV pre-play dealy but that made no difference. Any way to get rid of the second pause when I change channels?
