Wouldn't it be cool if when browsing the TV guild you could mark a show to watch (one that starts in the future) and gbpvr would pop up a reminder 1 minute before that show starts and change the channel and start watching the show?

I think my current cable box does that. like a show reminder.

has this been discussed before?

Thanks

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, I've searched, and although a lot of people say they get a black screen when trying to watch live tv, I cannot even get that far. When I select LiveTV it doesn't do anything. I have selected a capture source (Hauppauge HDPVR) and do have the decoders installed. Is there something obvious I'm missing? I'm running gbpvr on vista32.

I have the hauppauge 45 button remote, looking throught the Irremote.ini file there seems to be no mention of the # and * keys.

Is it possible to assign functions to these through irremote.ini?

If I have two tuners on my system capable of the same channel listings, not not able to be used at the same time.

What do i have to do to re-assign the recurring recordings from one of the tuners to the other.

I have disabled the older one, and enabled the new one, and given it an epg update - this seems to have sorted out one recurring recording, but another I've seen trying to use the old tuner.

I guess I could blow away the older tuner and re-import the recording-dump.xml

GBPVR with DVB-T Radio was working OK until I installed the Weather Plug-in.
Now when I open DVB -T Radio, PVRX2 stops responding and has to be shut down with Task Manager. I have tried un-installing the Weather plug-in and un-installing & reinstalling DVB-T Radio, GBPVR, Community Skin, .net framework, vcredist etc.
Only thing that fixed it was a format and reinstall of Vista.
- Thats when I found out that the Weather Plug-in was the culprit!!
I don't really want to reinstall Vista this side of Christmas, so any pointers as to the problem would be much very welcome.

Is there some way to locate a good XMLTV listing service (free) that will work with GBPVR?

The minimum requirements state that Microsoft.NET 2.0 runtime must be installed for GBPVR to work.
I tried to install this from the link but got an error message saying it was not compatible with the previously installed item.
So I went and installed Microsoft.NET 3.0. Will GBPVR work with this version or have I really mucked things up?

I was wondering if there was a way to jump to a specific day or skip a whole day without having to scroll through every lisiting.

There are times i just want to jump to next week to see a specific days lineup but have to scroll thought 7 days of listings to do so.

Thanks

Just got one of these and thought others might be interested too since it's such a good price. $139.99 - $30 rebate = $109.99. UPS Ground shipping added $7.99 to the price.

There have been many times when I'd like to do something with a video file or directory full of video files that I've located when browsing through the Video Library.

For example:

1) sometimes, I'd like to move it to another drive and update the database,
2) other times I'd like to watch it with a different player,
3) still other times, I'd like to import it into the Recordings database (I do this because it makes it easy to find a file I'm thinking about watching, and it lets me "resume" and keep track of what I've watched by marking it.)

For 1) someone posted a clever way to use the Transcoding option to run a batch file that sends all the files to another drive and updates the database. For 3) I used the same method to run a batch file and run a video import utility.

For 2), I can do this with an iso file, by changing config.xml to run a batch file instead of the Daemon Tools executable. The batch file identifies it as a BluRay iso or regular DVD iso and then uses the player I want.

However, these are all hacks, and none work with a complete directory: they only work with certain video format files capable of being transcoded or with an iso file.

It occurs to me that it would be really nice to have a generic option, like the Transcode option that runs a selected homebrew batch file for the selected directory or video file.

Config.xml would simply store a name for each batch file you want to be able to run (similar to the way there is a name for each Transcode option in config.xml) and would pass the selected file/dir to the batch file as the %1 parameter (just as Transcode does).

You'd point to a file or dir and select the Process File/Dir tab from the Video Library screen (just like you currently select Transcode), you'd choose the name associated with the batch file you want to run for that file/dir (just like you choose the Transcode name from the pulldown list) and the batch file would be run by GBPVR.

The specific batch file would be supplied by the user to do whatever he wanted. In my case, I've already got the batch files, I just need a way to run them for all video file types extensions and for directories, instead of just for certain types of video files.
