Hi,

Absolutely flawless install and smooth configuration of the new version. Very nice work. One regression I have found... which was actually fixed in a patch release of the last version. The problem has reappeared:

The music library's shuffle function, invoked by hitting the Play button over a directory, does not appear to work at the "root" of GBPVRs configured directory structure when the target is a network directory. For example I have a music location configured using the config app:

[Remote] -> \\Network Computer\Shared Music

\Shared Music\ contains multiple nested folders to be included in the randomized playlist.

I would like to be able to hover over [Remote] which, again, lies at the 'root' of GBPVR's knowledge of the directories it uses for music, and play all the music, randomized, at that top-level location. Pressing "Play" while hovering over [Remote] at this time locks up GBPVR.

Best,
-wg

I'm trying out GBPVR to see if it supports my ATI DVB-T card but not getting very far! When I run Config.exe it just hangs - nothing displayed on the screen, no user interaction at all. Same thing happens on both 1.01.05 and 1.02.09.

Logs attached, hope someone can identify the problem.

In case you may have missed it, the latest version of the CommunitySkin is updated with new features in v1.2.9 of GBPVR. Without downloading this update, you will experience problems in NetRadio and MusicLibrary when playing selections.

If you are using GBPVR version 1.2.9 or later (no there isn't one yet) you will need this update.

Also, any other skins you may be using besides blue will need to have the same updates. If you are experiencing issues with those skins, contact the skin author or ask me in the support threads and I will get you sorted.

Thank you for using GB-PVR and the CommunitySkin.

I have an old, slow pc, and I don't use the GB-PVR interface very often, so I don't have GBPVRTray.exe set to start with Windows. I created a shortcut to PVRX2.exe on my desktop for those times when I do need to use it.

With the update to v1.2.9, that shortcut now has a generic icon, instead of the GB-PVR TV icon it had before. When I tried to change it back, Windows says PVRX2.exe contains no icons!

Hi,

by the time I switched to a widescreen display, I noticed that the display area of the PVRX2 window does have the same aspect ratio as the monitor. Thats 1.6 at the moment - pretty wide compared to PAL recordings here.

Ho do I change that? The settings on the playback tab in the configuration app seemed to be ignored...

I've made this sticky (closed) thread to post useful information about problems that may arise, or to get useful tips out there. I'll add more information to this thread as we start to get feedback from this new release. If anyone has info they feel should be included here, please PM me.

I upgraded the ex from 99.12 to 1.2.9.

All of her recordings, recurring schedule, everything came across but now in the TV Guide, she is unable to visually see that a recording is scheduled or ready to play.

Sub refers to it as the recording scheduled one off was broken and now considered a Manual Recording which doesn't display with colours in the TV Guide.

Question, how would I Unbreak it... Manually, DB Tweaking, Programaticaly, whatever...

upgrade 99.12 to 1.2.9: Won't Prompt for resume, even tho checked in config

The long title says it.

Any ideas why the program won't offer a resume for Video or Recording even though it's checked in the config?

I've reposted this query re: lack of H264 acceleration in PVR2-

Is this right or is there something I need to do in order register it manually??
There hasnt really been anything change about playback, so it should be the about the same as previous releases.

Sub-
It'll only list H.264 decoders if their names are exactly "CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder (PDVD7.x)" or "CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder (AzureWave)". What name is yours?

Mine is CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder (PDVD7)- I have Power DVD 7 Max, which doesn't seem to have had any upgrade patches for it yet, though I will check! Is the lack of the sub version of any significance??

You're going to have to be patient with me....
I'm running a fairly quick PC running Vista Home Premium and have abandoned WMC as it won't actually show many of the DVB channels it says it's got. I've installed GB-PVR and have run config and all seems well - with the exception of something about an incompatible dongle. I followed instrns on the forum to download Donglex2a and extracted it to the dongle file in the gbpvr directory...
Q1 Do I have to delete the original Dongle?

Although config seems to show all channels present and correct, when I run GBPVR itself, and select Live TV, I get a message saying no channels have been set up and the EPG should be updated. If I do this, nothing changes and I get the same message when I try Live TV.

Q2 Is this an Dongle related problem - or something else?

Any help much appreciated. Incidentally, my DVB signal is very good.
