IS their a plugin i can use to download new skins. Or do ihave to do it manualy ??

Thanks. I saw someof the screen shots and saw some nice skins i would not mind trying

Thanks all.

Ive got a Dvico MCE remote the big black one.

Very new to this software. I have remote software for my MCE remote i got withmy Tuner. This is how i setup my remote for Meedio and Media Portal. I know i could use HIp ect but i find the remote software that came with the tuner just easier to use.

I try to struggle though the progamming of the remote. I would realy like to get it working as of now no button on the remote is working.

Thanks all.

Wont even detect it. I saw somone the card was supported. How do i make it work ???

Thanks all.

Ive had very bad problems with Meedio and Media Portal. All crash and do awfull things like stop working

Iam lookign for some good HTPC software thats stays up for atleast eight hours before crashing requireing a reboot. Is that to much to ask ?

Just wondering what codecs you recomend to install and or patch ect. Iam using a Dvico HDTV Plus HD Tuner card and a 6600 Gt Agp vidcard.

Iam thinking just install FFDshow for all my video needs and audio needs. And PureVideo for my HD needs. What do you think. I just want to isntall the Minimal needed as this is my HTPC and thats all it will be used for and i want it stable.

Also using a MCE remote. I want to ve able to view my HD Tv and normal Digital Tv as well. Also view my Divx Movies normal and 720p and 1080i WMV and HD Divx movies and clips.

Thanks for any help.

ANother question regarding the volume control. I use a Satellite Settop as an input (via S-Video) to ATI Theater 550 Pro, and found out that it's fixed volume output is significantly loud. When I listened to the recorded sound via a DAC, it's just too loud, though it does not necessarilly produce a distortion. It's just very uncomfortable..
Is there any way of controlling the input sound level for this card ? I ask this coz I saw an option on the other PVR program(C~TV), which seemed to be able to control the ATI's MPEG encoding chip's parameter for the input audio.

Many thanks in advance,

I'm getting extremely choppy sound when playing mpegs recorded by GBPVR on a PC equipped with an ATI Radeon 9200. Previously, playback was fine when using the onboard VIA S3 Unichrome video. I installed the ATI decoder but that didn't help.

How can I solve this ATI problem?

At work we have a software product called DoubleTake that includes a small utility called DTinfo. This utility harvests information about the software itself (i.e. logs, version number, etc.) and any other pertinent environmental data (OS version, etc) when invoked by an administrator. This information is used by DoubleTake's support team anytime we open a support call in order to help them diagnose the issue.

I thought such a utility would prove useful for GBPVR now that it is getting so complex. At the very least it would save sub the time of asking common questions like, "What version are you running..." or "Send me this or that log file". What do you think?

I just setup recording digital channels via composite from my comcast (in the US) stb with manual recordings. I was trying to figure out a way to switch channels without getting an ir blaster (heavy budget constraints), and discovered "Timers".

Located in the comcast STB under Setup, Timers allow you to select a date, start time, duration (in minutes), and channel number. Then it will automatically switch to the channel at the prescribed date/time. After the duration, it then switches the channel back to what it was.

This worked out really well for recording a movie for the kids that was on at 4 am. I set the Timer to switch to the movie channel a few minutes before the start, and then set a Manual Recording in GBPVR to record the movie

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I thought I'd throw it out here in case people would be interested in doing similar things that I did without an IR Blaster.

Admitedly, it's not as good of a setup as an IRBlaster, but for the price (uh, none) it's definately doable for programming recordings on digital channels. I figure it's worth the 20 seconds or so of looking in the STB setup to see if the feature is available on other ones.

Hello,

i am new here and very happy with the use of GBPVR but i am disapointed i cannot use foobar as the default music player. That's why i want to develop the plugin to integrate foobar. I can use VB or Java but i need advices to start:

- witch development tool i need ?
- What a proper design/direction to do:
- bypass the defaulf media player to be replaced by Foobar in backgroung task ?
- a simple OSD fully integrated with all skins

Thanks in advance
Fabien

ps: i have read the getting start guide with the development of plugins
