Hi,

I'm using XMLTV GUI to download epg data early every morning. I find that when I've left uTorrent running overnight XMLTV doesn't seem to connect well to the radio times website, and I often get only partial epg data.

What I would like to do is write a batch file that would do the following:

Check if uTorrent is running
If it is, stop it.
Grab epg data.
If uTorrent was running, restart it.

I'm not sure if this is even possible, let alone how to do it.
Any ideas?

I have two accounts under XP, one for the Media Center, and one for configuration the media center via remote desktop. This is because I've set my HTPC to automatically boot up and login to that particular account upon powering on and automatically running GB-PVR. This makes it easy for my mom and sister to understand how to work my HTPC.

I installed GB-PVR and MovieWiz under the Media Center account.

I can't seem to be able to add new movies or change the database at all using the other account I use for configuration through remote desktop.

It crashes and tells me I get IOFileNotFoundException because apparently the database is read only. How can I set it so that the database is NOT read only?

I manually checked MovieWiz.db3 and Windows Explorer says it's not read only.

I just got a BlackBerry Curve today. Since I got EWA working from the internet, I thought I'd give it a shot. I enabled all JavaScripting and HTML settings. The page comes up fine and I attempt to log on. When I click Log On, I get:

Hey,

Does anyone know which file is the channel changer plugin for the LM Remote Keymap so I can change channels using the LM Remote program?

I know for IR Server it is IRBlast.exe and that you also have to type in a few parametrs for it to work.

What do I need to do to use LM Remote Keymap to change channels in gbpvr?

I am having trouble getting the config to recognize my video in for my avermedia nanoexpress card. I know I have the driver and everything because Sage TV recognizes it. Is there something I am missing?

This is probably something stupid I'm overlooking, but I don't want the Search Guide function to display info from Channels that I don't have.
I've just added a PVR150MCE to my HTPC so I can watch Prime and added an XML file to download the EPG for this and Juice.
My TV Guide only shows the channels I have enabled, but the Search Guide option displays all the shows for the Sky channels. I don't have Sky so don't want to see these.
Does anyone know how to do this?

I've got a Nova-T 500 on order, but whilst I'm waiting for it, I'm still trying to get my Nebula USB DVB tuner working nicely.

I'm basically randomly trying MUXs.

I've tested a number of MUXs, watching live TV via an MVP, and watching recordings back on my laptop having copied the .mpg to it to ensure no network issues are causing the glitches.

Here's where I've got to:

Found: CyberLink MPEG Muxer
VERSION: 5.0.2022
works fine for live tv and pausing
recording - glitches in the recording


Found: ATI MPEG Multiplexer
VERSION: 9.14.0.60504
live tv ok. pause & resume and sound drops out of sync tho
recordings - not too shabby, but still occassional glitches

Found: CyberLink MPEG Muxer
VERSION: 5.0.1307
Live tv- spot on
recording - crap.

Found: CyberLink MPEG Muxer
VERSION: 5.0.0727
live tv - looks good, audio stays in sync
recording - looks good, but there's still the odd glitch

So -
Is there anyone out there with a Nebula who gets spot on results? which MUX do you use?
Am I going to have problems trying to use the same MUX for the Nebula AND the Nova-T 500?

Thanks,

James

Just noticed the KMPlayer has this handy feature where it automatically plays a second part2 video file. For example, I was watching a movie which was in 2 avi files (parts 1 and 2) and when part1 was finished the video player automatically loaded/played the part2 avi file - very smart!

I did a quick search but did not find any info on the topic so I am adding it here as a GBPVR wishlist item.

Am I wasting my time looking for a good, fanless graphics card that has TV out (s-video) for my current CRT SD TV, and a HDMI for future connection to an LCD HD TV?

Not sure if this is possible to do from within PVRX2.exe, but I use Eventghost to help change the Channels etc on my PC upstairs.

I have recently discovered having Eventghost running somehow doesn't let the MVP downstairs change channels, so what I'd like to do is start GBPVR using a Batch file, which first runs Eventghost, then starts PVRX2.exe but then to also close Eventghost on PVRX.exe exit?

Could one of the programmy games suggest a good way to do this?

Cheers
