Got another one folks.

Mostly is the same as the 6.6 BETA, but I advanced the version number as I did a slight reader change again. Instead of that entagged-sharp one, which for some reason had stopped working, I've got for a pre-packaged one called taglib-sharp. It seems to be much better, including reading .flac and m4a which of the sample files I had been provided I could get read properly....

Individual functions have been tested, but I've only just loaded onto my prod system, so I haven't really given it a long test cycle, I've been concious of the time between fixes that I've been putting out.

Anyway, available from the wiki : http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/MusicLibrary2

So here is what's changed:

• Fixed a couple of bugs with loading playlists.
  
• Added some checks to playlists trying to be randomised while still loading
  
• Changed tag library (again) to taglib-sharp - available from http://www.taglib-sharp.com/Main_Page currently using the windows 2.0.2.0 version - see the notes in the 6.6 history section of the wiki page for details on the placement of the tag readers.
  
• Fixed a bug with the album art if 6.6 Beta2 (thanks cakes).
  
• Fixed a bug where pressing play on library screen would not update the playlist screen with the current tracks.
  
• removed SQLLite dll from setup package and forced MlUpdater to load the GBPVR one (not its own).
  
• If your system will play it (filters/codecs etc) this tag new tag reader "taglib-sharp" will now read .flac tags - and m4a's should now work again.
  

I'm finally trying to get a new EPG source after losing Zap2it and thought I would give yapi2xml a try.

Following WIKI instructions for installing I get the following error when I input my zip and select "Get Providers": Error dowloading providers, please retry.

Probably missing something obvious...

thanks

Hello

New to the forum and can i say what a nice bit of software!

I have a slight problem though.

I can't seem to get EPG to update. I get the following error in my config.exe.log when I click the update EPG.

Can anybody please me help me resolve this issue.

Cheers!!!

I'm still using comskip version 79.71 and up until recently it's been working near flawlessly. Obviously well done software that just works and you almost forget it's there.

I was playing around with higher bit rates lately and have noticed a lot of comskip errors on these recordings. I went to 9000 CBR and these recordings are of auto and motorcycle racing.

The errors are all over the place. Sometimes a good chunk of the show goes missing, but most of the time several commercials are left in and not with any kind of consistency.

I plan on updating to the latest comskip version, but is there a maximum bit rate to use to keep comskip happy?

Cheers

I can't enter the menu needed to set up recordings from the menu of show search or FIND ALL of the guide. It works fine on the PC. What can I do to fix this?

Hello,

I live in Germany and I have a pinnacle pctv Sat Pro PCI card (450i) and I can't get it to work with GBPVR.

The pinnacle drivers are installed.
This is how I set up the bda.ini file in gbpvr.

Quote:[Pinnacle PCTV Pro PCI 450i PAL]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
FILTER_TUNER=Pinnacle Stargate Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Pinnacle File Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

Thought I had this sorted but the problem returned:
Playing any recording from the recordings page results in total lock-up of GBPVR.
I would like to know if it is me causing this issue, by using VideoRedo to convert the recordings from DVRMS to MPG?
Does this altering of the recorded files somehow confuse GBPVR? (I do rename the MPG version to the same as the DVRMS version, once it is deleted)
I am using the Purevideo decoder for video and audio - setting to system default does not make any difference...
Pob
(The attached logs were generated by first trying to play the video through recordings, GBPVR crashed, then restarting and playing the same recording through the video library...)

I have to manually exit shows instead of the MVP exiting the shows when the file has reached the end. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

hi, shortly I'm going to blow away my db, and start affresh as I've got a change in EPG source. Some of the channel names are different from what i use currently.

Obviously I've got recorded material and scheduled Season recordings that I'd like to keep as well.

After I've made my change I know I can import the recordings-dump.xml but would like some things clarified.

For recorded material and season recordings, if a channel name has changed does the channel name in the xml file have to change,and if so to what? the internal channel name or the display name of the channel?

Anything else I need to be aware of?

Long time GBPVR user. After the unfortunate demise of Zap2It, I was forced to upgrade my installation (which was working perfectly). I went with YAPI2XML, which appears to be getting the correct channel info.

After scheduling a recording recently, I found that it had not worked. I went into Live TV and realized that I couldn't change channels. GBPVR displays my input, the IRBlaster blinks, and my cable box pops up the menu showing the channel, but then nothing happens and the current channel remains.

I tried using the Hauppauge IR utility and it turns my box on and off perfectly, and changes channels accurately. In GBPVR Config, I have it pointed to HaupBlast.exe.

I suspect it might have to do with my YAPI2XML setup, but I'm not sure. The only way I can record things on a schedule is to go the cable box and change the channel myself. The recording works, but it sucks that I have to change the channel myself.

I've included a log (this is the first time I've ever done so, so please let me know if I've done something wrong).
