Hi Martin,

The mvpmcx2 version supplied with 1.3.11 (dated 20090117) or the patch with the angle-button act as record (dated 20090223) don't work in my setup (A100), whereas the version with 1.3.7 (dated 20081107) works like a charm.

I've captured the logs (stdout and stderr) and attached. Logs don't give me a clue; will you have a look? Thanks in advance.

Here is the beta release of the BBC iPlayer Plugin.

As discussed on the thread:

http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=41212

Details on setup and other info is available on the WIKI: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/BBCIPlayer

Before you install be aware of the following:

• This plugin downloads directly from the BBC iPlayer Website, you need to ensure that you delete the recordings after 30 days
  
• The plugin updates yout GBPVR.db3 Database, it does this to add the new recordings, it also adds a new 'Virtual' channel. THIS IS AT YOUR RISK. Even though I have tested it, I suggest you backup your current database before you use the plugin, i cannot be held resposible for any lost recordings.
  
• The plugin has not been tested on a remote client and will be unlikely to work, I might add this behaviour on a later release.
  
• The plugin is still a work in progress, it is likely to have bugs, let me know of more as you find them
  
• You may need to have a transcoding app such as FFMPEG or Mencoder (mPlayer) to be able to use the plugin, specifically with an MVP, a link to mencoder is available from the wiki
  
• Dependancies on this plugin are, Wiztools and CommonGBPVRUtils, both of these are available from the Wiki
  
• The WizUtils dll that I have used isWizUiHelper.dll (1.0.17.11)
  
• The CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll I have used is version 3.0.2847.27302, You need to ensure that you use the Latest version zip file, this is available from CommonGBPVRUtils
  
• FFMPEG needs the LAME MP3 Codec to be compiled in, if you need a version that has the correct compilation options look here : http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/builds/
  
• The logging is setup to be pretty verbose, if you have an issue make sure you attach your logs

I whipped up this little program a few days ago, and thought I would post it online for anyone else that may find it useful.

It simply renames the default GBPVR filenames from something like:

Beyond Tomorrow_20090305_04000500.mpg

to a format like this:

Beyond Tomorrow - 60 min - 090305.4000.mpg

I find the new format to be a bit more readable on my Tvix media player, and it makes it easier to see how long a show is before you watch it. For example, if we only have a half hour available, we can easily scan down through our recordings to find the ones that are 30 minutes long. That's much faster and easier than looking at the start and end times and trying to calculate the durations in my head.

You can simply drag and drop a file on the showname.exe file to rename it, but I use a line like this in my script file:

showname.exe "%~dpn1.ts" "D:\Shows"

The first item in quotes is the source file, the second item in quotes is the destination folder. I save new shows in a recording folder for later processing with comskip and VideoRedo, then use my showname utility to rename the output and save it to my viewing folder.

There's not much else to this program, no gui, and minimal error checking, but feel free to use it if you find it helpful. If your original show name doesn't match the GBPVR format, it'll simply abort without doing anything. It should work with any file extension, but I've only tested it with .ts and .mpg files.

I love the Netflix plugin and my only comment which has noting to do with the developer and more with the amount of content.

Is it possible to have the option to display my Watch Now Queue that I build on Netfilix. I have the Xbox 360 which uses Netflix and it only displays my Watch Now Queue. At first I did not like the idea of not being able to search but Now I find it easier to add to my Queue at Netflix.com and I just have to go to one place to find the videos I want.

Maybe an option is the setup where I can view everything or just my Watch Now.

Thank you;
Raymond

When you click alternate hits and then select one, nothing happens... I assume it is supposed to change the data to the new movie?

Thanks.

Edit -- It just plain doesn't work with XML, however in ADS mode it will rewrite the meta data, but it wont save the new cover image.

Edit2 -- Also, if the new title doesn't have a cover image it should delete the old one.

I just discovered that my tv guide has "No Show Details" for the 7:00pm to 8:00pm time slot on all channels for Saturday, March 7th. All other timeslots are populated for the next 11 days (including the same timeslot next saturday, the 14th).

My epg source is Schedules Direct.

I observed this both before and after the 2:00am EPG update. I also tried forcing an update (at about 2:35am) from the System menu in PVRX2 with no change.

What could cause this? What would I even look at to troubleshoot this? The recording service log doesn't show anything interesting, but I attached the two parts that cover the epg update time.

edit: added pvrx2 log covering manual epg update as well, just in case...

I have a couple issues with fullscreen, and a playback issue. Thanks in advance to all who reply.

If I toggle to fullscreen mode on my monitor (using Alt-Enter) from maximized window mode, my windows task bar stays on the screen, but If I toggle to fullscreen mode from a standard window, the task bar goes away. Any ideas?

If I try to toggle to fullscreen mode when the application is on my secondary display (LCD TV) it moves back over to my monitor. I can maximize the window on the TV but then the title bar is left on the window and I'm afraid that leaving it up for a long time like that could cause screen burn-in. How do I get fullscreen mode to stay on the TV?

Lastly, when playing back a recording on the TV, the video starts to hang up and causes skipping. The same video played back on the monitor works fine. I can also play back the same recording on my TV using VLC Media Player with no problem. Any ideas why that would happen? Video card is a EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600 GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16, if that matters at all.

Is there a list of possible return values for
[SIZE=2]PluginHelperFactory[/SIZE].getPluginHelper().GetClientIdentifier()?

WizTools searches the result for MVP to see if it is running on Hauppage MVP. Can I use similar logic to detect a Popcorn Hour or HDHomeRun?

After applying all patches from the survival guide a did a fresh digital clear QAM scan for my HVR-1600. One channel is not found even though it still works.

Channel 107.103 (WOGXDT) is still listed from a previous scan from a few month back and works fine in PVRX2 but is not found by a new scan. (Logfiles attached)
