Hey,

I live in Brazil and I´m having trouble with the accents and foreign characters when using postprocessing batch files (especially stattik transcode and the supersimple archiver).

It isn´t something I can easyly correct inside the batchs, because GBPVR uses UTF-8 in the database, the filesystem uses latin1 and the batchs search for ASCII characters. That´s a lot of mess.

If there was an option for GBPVR to generate the recordings filenames and foldernames without the "extended" characters, it would be a lot easier to manipulate the files.

It already does that for the files generated for livetv preview, so I think it´s possible. Isn´t it sub?

Sorry about this but it looks like writing a skin is a good way to find bugs :o

Since making my pvrx2 skin available on the wiki there have been a couple of reports that the taskimages don't show up on the main menu & ACTCMS seems to have basicly nailed down the problem in this message

I have a 14" TV connected to an MVP, so I am testing your skin... nice

I have the MVP tab set to Blue-Retro-SHV skin.

If I set the General tab to Blue-Retro-SHV, I can see all the icons perfectly as well as your big fonts and stuff.
If I set the General tab to Blue, I can see the TV Guide, Recordings, Live TV and System icons perfectly - but they are not your icons. I can still see your big fonts and stuff.

I've not identified where the the alien icons come from yet, but the TV Guide is the standard Red/White on from the Blue skin.

I just installed GBPVR. I ran the tunning setup and got an error: connectpins failed. I hit ok and it said: failed to connect pinNamecrossbaraudiodecoderout to pinName captureanalogaudioin. What am I doing wrong?

I probably have a manifestation of a similar problem:

Hi sometimes get some recordings that don't work....i.e. they are 0 byte, but still listed as successful.

Had one last night, and have isolated it in the logs..

I can't see anything in there though pointing to an error.

It's the blind date for 5:30 to 60 am that has supposedly gone though but has made a 0 byte file..

Is it me, or is the search facility on this forum really rubbish..?

Can't seem to figure it out. When you put more than one word in, it seems to do an "or" instead of "and" so you get loads of stuff you not really looking for. It just stopped me looking up "HD", which I though would be pretty unique, plus I've had it deny knowledge of words I can see in front of me before now.

Sorry to moan. Its probably me - can anybody help me out with wot I'm doing wrong..? It would sure save me ages if I could figure out how to search properly... Google doesn't seem to go here either...

Hi!

Please help me! I have 1.0.16. In the Config file in the Plugins there are many menus but they only appear in the old GBPVR UI. But if I add only a menu it appears in the new PVRX2. How does it come?????

My other question is that I've installed Community Skin 3 and I can't find the skin chooser menu, but I've installed the Plugin.

Looking for your answer
thx

Ditrics

Using v1.0.16 on xp pro sp2, no plugins installed.
when machine goes in to hibernate/stdby mode it will not wake up for scheduled recordings.
I installed the 2 patches from the survival guide (if installing means dropping them at the gbpvr folder) Do I need to unzip them first, or just drag the zipped file? For the first patch, i tried both ways. The second patch i could only drag the zipped file because the system wouldn't allow me to replace the original one (even when gbpvr was turned off)

The "wake machine" box under the epg section at config is checked

The machine wakes up fine for windows scheduled tasks

I think I'm ready to re-align my voice/data services. I have basic (ultra basic) cable now, and VOIP over my cable internet. The cost savings have been there, but I think I'm ready to step up and drop VOIP to get the Comcast combo deal.

This will give me digital and On-Demand through their set-top box.

I'm not thrilled about having another set-top box, but I'm wondering if I can access the On-Demand stuff from my PVR set-top box.

What are your thoughts?

I just recently made my first htpc and have been playing around with gbpvr for a couple weeks now. One thing I've noticed is that MPEG2 playback is better with pvrx2.exe is launched with the -fse parameter. Without the -fse enabled, mpeg2 playback, more specifically the DVD playback, breaks up in the middle of the screen. I'm not sure how to explain it. I'll post screen shots later today.

Anyway, I just want to know why the playback is better in -fse mode and how can i make the playback better when not in -fse mode. Here are my specs:

- GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H (AMD athlon x2 4600+, 2gb ram, 500gb sata hdd)
