I find the Conflict resolution a bit confusing. (Maybe I'm the only one because I started with TiVos?) To see what is conflicting with a program you have to drill deeper one level, but after drilling deeper, you can't cancel the higher level program, only the program causing the conflict at the deeper level. It's not critical (I'm used to this behavior now) , but if you want the conflict to disappear from the list, and you don't want to cancel at the deeper level, you have to back out to the higher level and cancel. It would make sense to me that there should be a point on a single screen where you can see both programs (the one that will be recorded and the one that won't) and cancel either one to resolve the conflict.

Again, this is just a tweak, not really a problem.

TiVo has a feature that I miss in GBPVR. On the TiVo, when you select the "Season Pass" (same as "Recurring" in GBPVR) it lists all the programs in the database that meet the criteria to be recorded for that listing. It also lists those that would have been recorded, but won't be recorded due to a conflict (and the conflicting program).

It would be great to have this, or something similar, in GBPVR. I often want to see whether an old recurring recording is actually going to record anything. I know I can look at Pending, but sometimes it's hard to find the program in the long Pending list, or I'm not sure if it's a Recurring program or an individually scheduled program or a different recurring schedule that is causing a listing to appear in Pending.

Thanks for considering this option. (If there's a way to do this that I've missed, let me know)

I was thinking about putting a book together of all the manuals for the games I've set up... but that would be a lot of printing.

I was wondering...

Would it be possible to add a 'Manuals' path for each emulator... and then have GameZone look in there for PDF files that match the game rom?

Example... Tetris.gb ( Gameboy rom ) and in manuals Tetris.pdf

Then... in the Gamezone menu, in the Gameboy section you would have your list of Games... and to the right of them, the option for Manual.
So, You'ld see

Tetris ( Manual )
Metroid II ( Manual )

And then Gamezone, when the Manual is selected, launches the PDF? (Windows should be able to handle it if the extension is tied to a PDF reader. )

And Manual would only show up if there was a PDF file that resembled the ROM file?



If you want any methods written, I could maybe help?

Private Function CheckForManual(RomName as String, RomExt as String) As String
If File.Exists(thisEmuManPath & RomName.Replace(RomExt,"PDF"))
Return thisEmuManPath & RomName.Replace(RomExt,"PDF")
Else
Return String.Empty
End If
End Function

Private Sub ViewManual(ManualPath As String)
Process.Start(ManualPath)
End Sub

The release is here:

http://ffmpeg.org/index.html

Thought I would start a thread to discuss... any long-term problems finally fixed that benefit this community? (Any new ones? : )

Here's the problems:

Live TV (QAM): This mostly works but I get just a little bit of lag on occasion. This is esp. noticeable with side to side motion (tickers are quite jerky). Also, audio gets out of sync with video but changing channels or closing/opening GB-PVR seems to help with this. CPU usage is low, ~15% is typical while watching live TV.

Recordings: Playback is where the major problems are. Recordings are not watchable due to the lag/jerky playback and audio sync problems. I recorded a long program last weekend and by the time I got to end of it, the audio was ~9 seconds ahead of the video.

I really, really want to get GB-PVR working. I love this app and with the above mentioned issues fixed, it would be perfect!

I've searched the forums and although many others have had these issues, I haven't found a solution. Logs are attached and hardware is in my sig.

Thanks!

Since installing v1.3.11 I am unable to left click to make the recordings list active. If the recordings list is active then I can left click on the Menu to go to the menu but to go back to the recordings list I have to use the right cursor key. Anyone else having this problem or is it peculiar to me?

CommunitySkin 4.0.0 (pre-release) download links are now live. Both SD & HD Editions are available.

This will be the last release before it goes fully public and is moved to the Skin area of the wiki. All comments, bug reports and suggestions welcome.

note: it's probably best to un-install any previous CS4 BETA version before installing this one.

edit: Thanks for all the feedback people. Please note that if I've reproduced the reported issue I'll add it to the CS tasks page to look at later. To keep the thread cleaner I'll only respond if I/we need more info or have a question.

Ok I give up, I can't get a tv listing or live TV. on GPVR

I have a new computer running windows vista,

I have a hauppage WinTV HVR-1250 (model 79xxx, hybrid atsc/qam)

I registered at schedules direct & set up a lineup.

When I run the config file & try and update the EPG I get a problem, the channels get listed in the config window, but None are marked enabled. when I try to close the config file it locks up.


I tried mapping the map digital channels to epg and that seemed to work, all channels are listed as favs.

thank you

This is a pretty simple question. If I restart the computer while a conversion is taking place, will GB-PVR continue the conversion after the computer starts up again?

Thanks,
Andrew

I want to be able to select a bunch of video clips and have them play back in the same order I picked them in. I can skip to the next item in the queue if I wanted to with my remote.

Is there something that does that at the moment?

Basically I want it to be like a Karaoke system - any Asian would be familiar with what I'm talking about. Later on I could install a secondary monitor for picking videos while the playlist is playing in the big monitor.

Possible?
