I've been trying to get IR Server working for several weeks. I've managed to get IR Server Suite to learn the remote for my STB in Translator, but when I try to change channels from GBPVR, nothing happens. I believe that I've followed these instructions, but clearly I've missed something.

After a remote is learned, how does Translator know which button is supposed to represent that command. There are number commands on there, but don't I want them to retain their current functions as well?

Hello,

I'm having an issue running my EPG update.bat in W7. In scheduled tasks, it shows that it has successfully run. While working on the computer, I've even seen the DOS box come up & have seen the update run automatically. However, when all is done, the output xml is not updated at all. If I manually start the update.bat form within my windows folder, it will run and output the xml file as it should.

Very interesting problem if anyone has any thoughts.

Thanks!

I have been working on this issue for a bit today, it appears that when you create the GBPVR\media\MenuArt\Music Library or GBPVR\media\MenuArt\Video Library

and add an image they never load when you access the Music Library or Video Library.

If I create the GBPVR\media\MenuArt\Default and add the same images PVRX2 immediately starts displaying the images everywhere.

I even set the <MenuArtUpdateSeconds> to 1 second and retried just the Video Library and Music Library folders, however, after waiting more than the default 25 seconds or the changed 1 second I still do not see the image change to the one that is loaded in the directory.

Nothing in the PVRX2 or PVRX2-native logs about loading/not loading the images.

Am I misunderstanding how this should work?
I expected that when I am in the Plugin it should be switching at the rate defined in config.xml. Is that not the correct expectation?

I do find that if I hover, use arrow keys to make the plugin be highlighted, and wait I do see the images from that folder get swapped at the expected rate, however, this works irregularly.

Shouldn't the background be changing while I am in the plugin? Also, shouldn't the timer reset when you enter the Plugin so that it immediately selects a background from that Plugin's directory?

Not a big issue , just not sure that this is working as expected.

Brand new XSearch skin on wiki. Detailed changes here. The community skin's XSearch/fastfind skin will need to be updated.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find it on the forum. I'm trying to set up a server/client and for ohter reasons I can't use simple file sharing. Is that a problem? Any special precautions, like ports that has to be opened in the firewall?

I'm running XP-SP3 on both computers using windows own firewall.

Hello, newby here...first post. After much fiddling and a lot of reading in this forum (thank you!) I have GBPVR working very well, I can even watch live TV on my wireless laptop! The only problem I have is the SchedulesDirect listings in the tv guide are a hour early....for example the 5PM news is listed at 4PM. If I schedule a recording at 4PM, I get Opra instead of the news....a waste of hard drive space in my opinion If I remember to schedule the recording at the correct time, the name of the recording reflects what the tv guided has listed for that time. I have tried dumping the EPG and doing a complete update, didn't seem to help. At this point, I don't know if the problem is with GBPVR or with SchedulesDirect....it's almost like SD doesn't know we are on Daylight Savings time.....
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
Mike

Hi, I know most people use GB-PVR for digital television (ATSC, DVB-T, etc) but I use foxtel (paytv) and wish to record from that, from my point of view I have 2 options- either find a way to decrypt the foxtel signal, or use an analogue capture device to record the outgoing SVIDEO or composite. I currently have 2 capture cards, one of them (Adaptec Videoh) is supported by GB-PVR. My problem is that, even though the card is detected by GB-PVR I recive no video on Live tv, when i click on 'live tv' the screen simply flashes. I have tried changing around the settings that appear relavent however it makes no difference. Also, VLC player can detect both capture cards fine and recieve Audio and Video from both, therfore the problem must be within GB-PVR.

Hi,
I've just installed GBPVR. I've run the Config tool successfully but I get an error when I run PVRX2. The error details are:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** Exception Text **************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at GBPVRX2.x0061b801bdf12d35.WndProc(Message& m)

at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

After the error I see an 'empty' window with a red cross through it - like it can't create the control.
I believe I have the right version of the .NET framework installed, but am not sure how to verify it.

I'm using a Hauppauge WinTV Nova TD-500 PCI tuner card.
The logs are attached.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Nuts, the title should have been comskip & digital?

I recently changed over from getting analog straight from cable to having to go through a STB. The only difference I can see is instead of getting it straight from the cable I now get the signal from a STB, either way from my perspective it's still analog as it records the same mpg file it always has.

My problem is Comskip now gets very sporadic results. Sometimes it works just fine, other times it catches no commercials at all and other times it cuts an hour show to 20 minutes while cutting most of the show in the process.

Has anyone else noticed this when making the change to getting the signal from a digital source through a STB?

Since it's been so sporadic it's hard to even know where to start trying to fine tune it. Is there something different that happens between getting straight analog from the cable and getting analog from a STB?

My wife just brought this to my attention. If she is watching Live TV through one of our MVPs and pauses or rewinds (skips back), the MVP will not exit out of Live TV mode after the current show ends and the next show begins. She has to cycle power on the MVP (with the remote).

It's not a big issue, I just thought I'd see if there was a fix or any ideas.

Thanks,

PS - GBPVR is a big hit in our house - hats off to Sub, Martin, and all the others who have worked hard making this an incredible PVR solution!
