In previous versions I had an issue that prevented FF/RW from working, necessitating the use of the short skip function instead.
In 0.99.15, this issue seems to be resolved, allowing me to use the normal FF/RW functions from the remote (ATI Remote Wonder Plus), which is great.
Now, I'd like to make a suggestion/request related to this:
With most dedicated DVD players, the fast forward/rewind features work such that consecutive presses of the FF/RW buttons act to increase the fast speed factor. I.e., FF/RW initially starts at 2x normal play speed, but subsequent presses of the button cycle through increasing speed factors -- 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x -- and then back to the inital fast speed factor of 2x.
In GBPVR, it seems that the fast forward/rewind controls are fixed at 2x, and subsequent presses of the button have no effect. Would it be possible to change this algorithm, so that these additional key presses are detected, and simply mulitply the current play speed x2, up to a maximum value of 16?
This would be a great feature, in that the 2x speed is sometimes not useful for advancing or reversing by significant amounts of time, in scenarios where it is desirable to see the program while advancing or reversing, which the "skip" feature doesn't allow.
I am testing out GBPVR and got most of the default plugins working. The main problem is I can't seem to add new plugins. I downloaded some plugins, extracted to the plugins directory, but when I check the config->plugin screen, they are not there.
What I am doing wrong? How am Isuppose to add plugins?:confused:
I updated my install of gbpvr today from an earlier version to v0.99.5 but be for I did this I was able to do an EPG update and right after and ever since I have not been able to update at all I have tried to different accounts with zap2it neither work. I have the following current plug-ins tv listings, theater listings, weather. I have verified the zap2it accounts are good and that I am using the correct user name and password. below you will find the error. I can email the resulting error to you as there is a large amount of information in the picture of the box I took.
I just built a brand new system, installed GBPVR 0.99.5, and installed the latest Weather Plugin. The install seemed to go fine. However, when I run GBPVR Config in order to setup the weather plugin, it's not listed as an option.
I have installed several versions of GBPVR with the Weather Plugin over the past year or so and have never had any issues...
I have two Theater 550 pro tuners. One is made by MSI using PCI, the other is Sapphire using PCI express. I have tried both tuners by themselves and they both work flawlessly when their friend isnt there. Its only when they are together that I have this problem.
Here is the scenario:
Show#1 starts recording. GBPVR starts recording Show#1 on tuner#1. A new directory is created with the show#1 name and a file is started correctly. GBPVR then determines that show#2 needs to start recording, so it chooses the second tuner to record show#2. A new directory is created with the show#2 name, but no file is created. The status window shows that both tuners are recording the correct shows, but the second file never drops.
I have spent hours sifting through the forums and found several other people who seem to have the same problem, but their solution did not solve my problem.
I'm attaching the logs for browsing. I have been trying different solutions, so there are alot of crazy shows in there.
I quite often get a recording marked as failed when it actually hasn't failed (ie the mpg file is there, and if you look at the status while it is recording it says 'recording', and the logs also show the recording as having taken place.
However if I look at the display when the recording is supposed to be recording, the gbpvr display doesn't show the program as recording (when it actually is), and the program sits in the pending list as being about to record. If you select it from the pending list and hit 'update' gbpvr stops the 'ghost' recording and starts a new one
It seems to be some issue with the database, but I can't see what it is. It is very intermittent too - sometimes it fails and sometimes not and I cannot see any common factor to the occasions when it fails
Can someone give me a clue as to where to look for a solution

A happy New Year to all,
It's on my wish list unless its there already and I've missed it but I also run CD's/Net Radio from my XBMC as well and that can kick into Visualisation mode, can we get this in GB-PVR? Would love it
Have a good one and thank you Sub for giving me such a good proggie in GB-PVR
I don't know if this is the right place to pot this, if not please move it.
Is there a way to edit the Thread title? I tried with my thread to mark it SOLVED, but it doesn't change. It would be a fast visual for someone having the same problem. Just a suggestion.
Hi all,
I was wondering if there was anyway to download my videos 5 rc 3? I see that it is no longer available and would love to have a copy (I lost my hard drive and was on vacation the last time Reven allowed it to be downloaded from his site).
There are times that I am watching or recording a channel and I would like the following show to be automatically displayed but not necessarily saved as a recording but I am not at the TV at the moment to choose that show so what happens is the show I was watching or recording just sits at the last frame of the show. Can a buffer be made to automatically choose the following shows until a user chosen preset buffer runs out of space or a user exits the timeshift mode - but have a warning the buffer will be lost? If more than one show fit into the recording pop-ups asking to delete or save each individually would be nice.
