First the good news: My live TV works without briefly freezing every second or so (thanks, Sub)
Now the bad news: VRM9 custom on my system is behaving very differently - and not in a good way. The OSD has disappeared, and both automatic and manual (F7) aspect adjustment doesn't work anymore. Is this expected behaviour (I understand that the custom renderer was re-written) or should it be behaving like it used to?
Thanks,
Tom

Not sure if there's another tool such as this or not, but I created this after some searching for a similar tool:
1. I needed to add programs into the db3 file that were missing due to botched upgrades.
2. I needed to be able to rename them so that I could follow an season + episode + sub_title convention.
3. I needed a fair source for this info, and hitched on to epguides.com for the data (especially since the program info in preformatted and easier to parse).
4. I sometimes download episodes of programs that the tv recording missed and wish to add them into the database.
I thought it maybe of interest to people with similar needs.

I run my recorded gbpvr shows back to my tv on a kenwood vrs-n8100 home theater system. It allows only up to 2gb files to be played. is there a way (and perhaps it's already been addressed - i don't know all the terms) to capture a video and limit it to <2gb sized pieces? also, is there a way to partition previously recorded shows to the same <2gb size pieces? thanks
Here's the details: GBPVR release 0.99.12, dyndns.org account, DeeEnEs to keep dynamic ip updated, ports 7647 -7648 forwarded to mygbpvrserverip in router.
I can bring up EWA over LAN via http://mygbpvrserverip:7647/gbpvr/, can ping the dyndns host from my other machines but I cannot access EWA from outside, just times out. Firewall is turned completely off on GBPVRServer box.
The really sad thing is the wife was just starting to REALLY like GBPVR and when I told her she could schedule recordings over the web she says "this is the coolest thing ever!" ... and of course now I can't make it work...Any assistance greatly appreciated!
we receive the bbc hd broadcasts out of crystal palace, london, and although i can record them to .ts files with absolutely no problems - i have no luck in watching hdtv thru gbpvr and huge difficulty playing the files.
my best attempt at playing them was after downloading zoom player and other stuff it wanted to download and add to my system and, to be fair, it was pretty good quality. but then my gbpvr settings went all over the place until i removed zoom and all its extra bits it insisted on downloading and glueing to my system.
I normally play video from the Recordings -> New recordings. With latest version .9912, the play button from MVP always play from the beginning without prompting for Resume dialog. Is this the new behavior by design? Because I have not used to select Resume button.
While I'm sure it is not a priority, is it possible to allow raw diseqc commands to be associated with a recording source in the config? I've used the positioner console in MyTheater to store my four satellites in the positioner, now I want to simply send the commands to go to each position from within GB-PVR. Again, I'm not looking for full positioner support, just a way to send alternate diseqc commands (instead of, for example, selecting A, B, C or D in the diseqc switch drop-down). There MAY be complications owing to the time it takes the dish to reposition, but I wouldn't mind giving it a shot if it were possible.
It's possible positioner support is built in already, but I couldn't find it.
Positioner commands are part of Diseqc 1.2 I believe. I can dig up the commands if that would help.
I went into config for Videos plugin and set Initial Display Mode to Preview.
Using GBPVR 0.99.12 and latest Basic and Community skins, I'm configured for Basic skin. I clicked on Videos button on main menu. I got a dialog
Error: Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\gbpvr\skin\Basic\_CoreImages\IconPanel_Active.png'
I don't have that file, but I do have IconPanel_Normal.png. Copied that to IconPanel_Active.png and it seemed to work.
I just started having the following problem:
I am using version 0.99.5 of GBPVR
The EPG is blank on my TV screen(no programs shown on the grid) using MediaMVP, but when I use GBPVR on my computer screen the EPG is ok.
I don't think I've made any changes or anything that would cause this. Does anybody have any idea how I can fix this? Thanks in advance for any help.
