I am thinking of trying to use twitter to allow the scheduling of recordings from my cell phone. I figure I set my status to something like
"gpbvr: -channel 12 -start now -seconds 240 -name "Property Ladder" -pre 1 -post 3"
and then I would have my gbpvr check my status every 5 minutes for updates addressed to it. It would simply pass the "command" to the scheduler in the gbpvr directory.
So anyone have any experience doing something like this? I have scripted the REST API before and I understand the Twitter uses that so I think it is possible. Does anyone have a better way?
Things were working well - then I tried to use the 'screen saver' plugin. I never got it working, so I unchecked it (on plugins tab in config).
Now when I use Net Radio, after a few minutes PVRX2 will "lock up" - the radio continues to play, but there is no keyboard or remote response. In task manager it says "not responding". I have to kill the process to continue.
Also - the 'system' screensaver is not working now either. I do have a check mark beside 'Enable screen saver' on 'Misc' tab.
I think when the 'system' screen saver tries to run - this is when the system 'locks up' - but I am just guessing.
I would be happy to include the logs if someone will tell me which log(s) to send and what logging level to use.
I am using GB-PVR v1.3.11, community skin w/ Skin Plugin 3.2.2
I'll come clean and say yes I'm a newb here....but I'm loving what has been done so far. I did a search on the forums...but didn't find anything that helped me solve my problem.
Running 1.3.11
Standard Install
Hauppauge PVR-150
Using Schedules Direct for EPG
My install of the GB-PVR was successful, as well as my config. I was able to import my channel listing for Time Warner from SD without issue, everything seemed ok. I started the PVR and told epg to update to get my listings, and expected to get a full days worth or more. That however wasn't the case. I got about a half of a day and then it was just blank. I let the system run overnight, which the update time is set to 2AM. It again updated, but again only got programming till 7PM tonight. I tried to synch it through PVR software again, and it didn't pull any information this time.
Reboot just for giggles....no help
In config, removed all my channels and re-imported my channel listing again. Go into PVR and synch, no program data, just blank
Any help you could provide would be helpful. I'm still on my trial with SD and would like to make sure I can get this working before I pay for my subscription.
If I missed providing any vital information...let me know and I'll get it ASAP!!
I had a movie scheduled to record from 1am to 3:30 am on an HVR1600. I am using 1.3.11. The dvr-ms file only contains 1:04:09 of video, not the 2:33 that it should have with padding.
It looks like the video stopped getting collected at 2:03am which is when an EPG update occurred. I can't see anything in the log, except that at 3:32am it says that the recording was completed and that matches the timestamp on the file.
attached is the log and some info about the video file.
Any ideas on what happened and how to prevent it? My wife almost killed me after we were watching it and realized that we didn't get the whole movie.
When I try to rescan my DVB-T channels from my NovaT 500 card config crashes.
I select Rescan and I see it scanning but it never finishes, in Windows Task Manager it tells me GB-PVR Configuration is Not Responding.
Has anybody else had a similar problem? This has all started after I reinstalled GB-PVR a few weeks ago. This was a fresh install, no files were used from the previous install.
can't seem to replicate the slow montion xvid playback on any other media player and yesterday, this co-incided with a loss of OSD (volume/timeline etc).
restarting GBPVR fixed both things at the same time. although the slow motion doesn't happen all the time, the OSD once gone stays gone.
I've added the ability to mark EditableSkinItems as "advanced" in SkinPluginConfig.xml, similar to what the old version had. Do you think it maybe useful? If yes, what items should be marked as "advanced" and so hidden from view by default?
