Hi
One of the reasons for my installing SlimmGBPVR was because I've been having quite a few unexplained recording service crashes recently and I thought that I'd try it to see if it could restart it. Unfortunatly I can't get it to work, when my recording service crashes SlimmGBPVR then stops responding too. I can get the Slimm menu up but as soon as you select anything that requires a call to GBPVR is stops responding and I have to kill the process and restart GBPVR manually. If I kill the recording service to test the restart the same thing happens. If the recording service is not running when Slimm is started then it starts it OK. Can you think of anything I need to check? I'm runing 1.08. I've attached some logs but can't see anything except the restarts that happen when slimm is first loaded and the recording service is not running.
I would have persisted with it but something else was bugging me. Why does it prevent you logging out of Windows if something is recording? The recording service is a service so that won't be affected so why does it stop the log out? I'm sure there is a sensible answer, but I couldn't think was it was.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Came across this KeySonic wireless Keyboard and wondered if anyone has any experiacne with it, or a similar item? It has an integrated trackpad which would be useful in a HTPC enviroment.

In fact, pretty much non-existant.

I was using 99.12 quite happily and for no apparent reason the sound got nerfed practically all the way to zero.

If I used Nero or Windows Media Player to play back my sounds, no problems.

Yes, the volume settings are all the way up and in the config application I have set it to Master Volume and Local Volume to no avail. I have also tried a range of software audio codecs.

Screwed up registry or summat?

An upgrade to the current version did not work 9although it is very nice!).

any thoughts?

Sub,
I just noticed a bug in PVRX2. If I open PVRX2 and then proceed to close it immediately afterward, I get this unhandled exception (in the log) and also windows gives me the "send/dont send" error message.

However, if I open a recording and then proceed to stop the recording (by pushing esc) and then I exit, I do not get any error. This is also the case if I open and then close a video from the video library.\

If I try to close it before doing this, I get the error again. Thus far I have gotten there error from: the main window, the tv guide window, the recording window. Again, if I play a video/recording first, however, and then exit the error does not occur.

From the log, the most pertinent information is:

2007-08-02 23:06:35.642 VERBOSE [1] Preparing for shutdown
2007-08-02 23:06:35.657 VERBOSE [1] Exiting...
2007-08-02 23:06:35.704 ERROR [2] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:: System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException: SQLite error
library routine called out of sequence
at System.Data.SQLite.SQLite3.Close()
at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection.Close()
at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection.Dispose(Boolean disposing)
at System.ComponentModel.Component.Finalize()

I am also attaching the log file.

PS - I am using the updated PVRX2 executable with the comskip shift fix.

PSS - I just noticed that if I let PVRX2 sit for about 10 seconds without doing anything, it also exits without any problems (from all windows just mentioned)

In the transistion from Zap2It to whurlston's utility I can't seem to get rid of three channels

Wondering if we could have the screen saver as a config.exe item and maybe as a seperate interface so you can go looking for them like a plugin.

I just know there was an issue here after the pvrx2 screen saver name was changed from Simple Screen Saver to Default - http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=2...stcount=32

And this would mean that I would not ever have to update the main config.xml just my own settings.

At the moment I'm just going to remove my code that updates the settings section and it will have to be a manual update. Unless we can get something like the above implemented.

When I run vcredist_x86.exe I get an error message:

[INDENT]The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'vcredist.msi' in the box below.
[/INDENT]

When I browse to the vcredist folder, there is no msi there.

When I run the .exe I see a .cab flash by and the .msi flash by but they apparently leave no permanent trace.

How do I fix?

Thank you.

isn't it time for an EPG forum here?

Nevermind a searched and found the problem sorry.

I've been slowly building up my PVR. Up to now, I've been running 1.08 on a PC monitor using the standard VGA connector. I'm using the Biostar TF7050-M2 motherboard that also has s-video out on it. So I moved it over to the TV (old CRT, not HDTV), connected up the s-video to the TV and it worked the first time. I decided to change the resolution as I thought it might look better at a lower resolution, but it came up with a scambled looking image. I've tried about a dozen different resolution/color/refresh settings and they do change the scramble pattern, but nothing is readable. To describe what it looks like, if you have an old pc monitor and try and push the resolution to high it would give you a similar pattern. More modern monitors seem to just report that they are "out of range."

Is their a known good resolution for sending an svideo signal into a tv?

I also just hooked it to another tv using an svideo->RCA adapter and also got the scambled pattern.
