If I am watching tv in timeshift mode, and the time comes up for a scheduled recording, how does gbpvr handle that? Is it possible for the user to modify how it handles that? I'm guessing it will:

1. cancel scheduled recording since the tv tuner is being used
2. Swicth to recording and cut off live tv mode
3. pop up a box and ask the user what to do, possibly with a default option that it will go with if there is no user response after so many seconds.

:I'd like to add option to the wishlist sub, if it is allready not the default way gbpvr handles this.

Anything I attempt to play through GBPVR does so without sound, including recordings and TV tuner. Recordings play fine in Mplayer. Any suggestions?

My gb-pvr records fine, but if I try to play live TV the audio stops, and the picture goes jerky after about half a minute. Odd thing is that if I record and then play the recording while it is still recording it is fine. (Otherwise I would have thought it was running out of resources in some way)

Don't relly need to play Live TV of course, but I would like to understand what is going on and if it can be fixed

I have been using GB-PVR for almost a year, and find it the very best of HTPC software packs. A big thank you to Sub for the great work.
Tonight I upgraded the framework to 2.0, changed to blue skin, disabled plugins, and finally upgraded GB-PVR from 0.95.16 to 0.97.07. I know that several releases has been out since 0.95.16, but it has been running perfectly fine, so I didn't bother to upgrade until now.
Unfortunately only few things works after the upgrade.

• On the PC, LiveTV causes error: "Error: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other menory is corrupt."
  
  
• Live TV via MVP plays, but when I stop i get this error: "Error: object reference not set to an instance of an object."
  
• Replay of recorded show via PC causes this error: "Error: Failure playing back file"
  
  
• Replay of recorded show via MVP plays, but when I stop i get this error: "Error: object reference not set to an instance of an object."
  
• Playing MP3 via PC or MVP causes the same error: "Error: object reference not set to an instance of an object."
  
  
• Showing jpg files via Photo Library (PC or MVP) kind of works, but in every folder the first three pictures are always showed very blurry while the rest are showed perfectly sharp.
  
  
• Netradio via MVP: All stations causes: Failed to connect to radio station"
  
  
• My Danish translation on no longer working, language.xml is ignored by GB-PVR.
  

Attached is the first version of a Screen Saver plugin.

Download and instal, then come back here and tell me what you think of it. All comments/suggestions welcome. If you find a bug post also

To use it as a screen saver you need to have this line in your config.xml file
<ScreenSaverPlugin>Screen Saver</ScreenSaverPlugin>

ps. Requires v0.4 of UI Elements and a recent version of Jeff's common utils libary (both avaiable on the wiki)

Hi sub,

I've just installed 0.97.7 (upgraded from 0.96.12), and now there is some problem with recording.

I looked in the GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log and got this:

The last log message is repeated approx. 150 times per second so the logfile grows fast to a disk-filling size...

So:

1. Any hint why the recording doesn't actually start?
(the directory for the recording is created so something happens)

2. Even if i set the debug level to Error, the last message (on VERBOSE level) is filling the log file. How do I turn that off?

Do you need all logfiles? If so, where should I send them?

TIA

Hi all,

For now apparent reason I suddenly get the following error when i try to update my EPG from XML tv listings, both automatically and manually:

"Failure in ChannelFactory:toreChannels():Invalid Argument.

i'm using v0.96.12 and have succesfully updated from this EPG source several times in the past.

Any ideas?

Steve

I have a MSI Theater 550 Pro and when i installed gbpvr on a clean install of Xp with all of the service packs and net 2.0 i can get a blank white screen when i view the live tv. i hear the sound but no video. any ideas?

Could you tell me how to record and see the same channel ?

When you make a record it's not possible to see this channel ?

Should the config.xml file contain the mac address of the mvp.

Cheers Jase
