Its a command line xml enhancer (only tried on schedules direct) that is very quick, doesn't explode when your internet connection is down and does a few basic things.
Movies - adds 3 things to the title - star rating, year released, and if its new to the guide. For example 30 days of night would look like this during the first few weeks after it hits your guide:
30 Days of Night (2.5+)(2007)(new)
For the first few weeks as it builds a history pretty much all movies made within two years will show up as new but as the history grows it will only tag movies that are new to your guide history as new.
Series - adds a * to the title if its new, moves A, An and The to the back. Does a tvRage lookup on specified series to get the season and episode number which it prepends to the subtitle. So The Sons of Anarchy would look like this:
Title- Sons of Anarchy, The*
Subtitle- s1e4. Jaxson five
YMMV - I wrote it because the enhancer I used kept freezing in the middle of the night and actually taking my machine down, plus I wanted the new movie function. Don't expect a whole bunch of support or extra features but its been running great for me for 2 weeks now so I thought I would let it into the wild. Note that you have to create a seed showDetail.txt file to get the series episode # working.
With mouse on PC (remote, unable to check server at this moment)
Bring up recordings,
click on 'ready',
click on an item on the right,
try to scroll up and down the list with the mouse and what happens is it scrolls the options on the left.
Hmmm. Just checked a few more and they are the same.
Double click on right hand item in ready to get the list of episodes and scroll wheel also moves up and down the left list.
Also does the same with 'new'.
So it looks like the scroll wheel is stuck in the left hand menu.
I completly uninstalled GBPVR then reinstalled. I used the same folder for recording shows too. But since I reinstalled GBPVR it doesnt see any of the shows i had recorded from before.
Is there a way i can make the new install of GBPVR see the shows that i had recorded from before the reinstall. There in a folder called TVshows on the C drive.
Windows XP pro shows recorded are just mpg file type
Never had a problem like this before. I'm trying to install XP Pro on a SATA rack drive (hot swap drive) and it installs ok during setup but the first time XP setup reboots, I get a [SIZE=3]'A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart' error. As I've installed XP on the same system but on a true internal drive and not had this problem, I can't be sure that's what that error means.I've installed W7 beta and Ubuntu on other drives in this same device with no problems and wonder if it might be the SATA drivers (F6 at startup) but, never needed these before as well and, without a floppy drive, it's problematic to load them.
Just curious as to what you think it might be.
Google turned up something interesting I've not tried yet (not at home to try it now). [/SIZE]The problem solved by __disabling IDE bus master __ in BIOS. I'm not sure why this would work but I can't knock it until I've tried it.
The drive has plenty of space and is free of errors and NTFS formatted.
I have purchased a USB stick that wireless can control lamps....similar to X10 http://www.telldus.se/
I have set up Abyss Web Server for .net 2 with the DeLight.aspx web page and the .Net wrappers for the driver DLL and that works fine. I can control the lamps from the web page.
I have made a DeLight plugin directory in EWA and modified a plugin XML file, so the DeLight tab show up in EWA.
The DeLight DLL files and wrapper files are in a bin directory as the DeLight programmer named it.
The lamp configuration is read from HKEY_CURRENT_USER by the DeLight DLL and should show up on the web page.
But when I drop the web page and DLLs in EWA the web page shows fine but the Lamps doesn't show. I have tested the drop the DeLight files in the Web dir and Public dir.....but I cant get the Lamps to show.
The same directory structure works fine with Abyss and IIS
I have enclosed a Zip with the DeLight files in the /web dir structure.
Any tips on how to get the web page to communicate with the DLLs and read registry configuration in EWA?
I have just re-installed Windows XP on a PC and only installed WinDVD (to get MPEG encoder and decoder) and then GB-PVR.
After running Config, and then starting GB-PVR the screen (or Window when in windowed mode) is black. Nothing happens when I user he cursor keys. Pressing ALT+F4 closes GB-PVR with no problem. The Desktop is shown fine as well as WinDVD run fine and shows movies with no problem.
Video card is a Inno 3D Geforce FX 5500 with 256 mb and using latest driver from NVidia. I cannot see any errors in the log.
Searched around but didn't see another care of this being an issue:
Whenever I load the web interface for gbpvr I get repeated javascript errors: both GetServerTime and GetReminders
Also, whenever I go to sched a recording, I get a javascript error as well. I'm using the latest version of Firefox and have also tested on Internet Explorer with the same result.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I'm sure its something simple...
I'm getting ready to set it up w/ Fios and a new PVR box w/ a nVidia 9600 HMDI card. When I tested it out w/ my current box (w/ a 8800), it was beyond the screen range at full screen until I swiched to HD Format 2, and it un-zoomed/removed the overscan (or whatever it did).
I haven't had a chance to see it w/ the Fios HD, but will it need to be on HD Format 1? I guess what I'm worried about is some big headache of having to switch that manually each time, or having to frig around w/ the PVR to get it to compensate.
There is no way to make a reoccuring schedule with specific times is there?
The specific days are great as some eps only shows at Mon-Fri
but there are a rerun in the morning of this show making the schedule mark up these times too, but at that time the PC is not powered up making all the rows marked failed and I have to go in and clear them.
If I can't find this, tell me how otherwise this would be a great setting
letting me tell to record an episodes from, like 3PM to 11PM, but that's it,
not the the rerun of the show that are sent in the mornings.
I have had a Pinnacle 3010iX in my machine for quite sometime, and it worked fine, unfortunatly I had a problem with the motherboard, and replaced the motherboard, all works fine, however, when I tried to watch live TV, it never worked, so I checked the config, all was there and looked okay (this is 1.3.7 and has been since it was released, without any issues)
I went into update EPG or Map Digital Channels, I got an error about cannot find BDA device.
After quite some messing about, I had to delete the device and re-add it.
I manually selected the Pinnacle 3010iX and did everything, got the same error mapping channels. When I ticked the box "Only show installed Devices" it showed me a BlackGold something (sorry cannot remember it was late and I was off the back of a 15 hour shift) even though it was deffinatly set as a Pinnacle 3010iX previosuly, anyway I added the device, it did the scans and picked all the channels fine.
I got everything working, live tv the lot, however, it will not update the EPG at all, I am using the option for update via DVB-t
If anyone has any pointers I would appreciate it, unfortunatly the PC was not attached to the net yesterday evening, so I could not post, now I am at work, but it will be tonight.
On a side note, I have obviously lost all my season recording, not a massive issue, but I have also lost everything that has been previosuly recorded. Now all the recording are there in the recording directory (T:\temp) is there a way to import them back ? .. there are about 150ish in total. All is not lost if it is not possible, I can browse for them via windows, but it would be much nicer if I could see them in GB-PVR again (more for the wife than me !!)
Thanks for any help in advance, and keep up the good work
