I am using this software with the MediaMVP. With a whole family who will be using this device, it'd be nice to be able to have multiple user profiles. That way, different people have different menu items available to them (kids won't have system settings, etc), and we could define different music/video/photo sources for the different profiles. It could just use the numberic keypad to enter in a password for each profile.
Anyway, this is just a thought. Is this at all a possibility? Is this something that could be done with plugins, or just in the main package?
If this has already been asked, I apologize, I didn't see anything in a search..
I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to get a message, when I'm watching LiveTV an a recording should start. At the moment, I can watch LiveTV without getting a hint, that a recording should start right now.
2. It sometimes happens, that they delay TV-Shows. Is there a way to extend the recording by 5 Minutes while the recording is running?

In WA, I seem to get genre's coming up OK, but it has (LOTS of) multiples of them, both in the drop-down list at the top of the TVGuide and in the Episode Search tab.
Is this by design, or am I missing something or does it only work with Zap2it (which I do not use). It's like my system recognizes genre, but I get assigned the same one for every program in the EPG?
I realised TVXB (my grabber) is using a field called "category", which is probably finding its way into that genre list. I wonder of there is any way of isolating this into SINGLE genre's?
Quote:* When files are archived, the GBPVR database is updated with the new file location so that other recordings plug-ins should continue to work even though the file has been moved.
Can this behaviour be made optional?...I only ask because it is the fact that the recording DOES disappear from the standard recording page that make VA useful to me....
I use the standard recordings page to manage day to day recordings, watch once and then delete sort of stuff, whilst anything that will be kept, such as movies get archived. That way, the recordings page is uncluttered for day to day use, whilst the archive contains all of my movies...
Ok - Recording farm is a slight exageration but a way to have two pc's with recording sources share a single recording destination, a single database and a single guide so from one interface you could schedule recordings and it would queue things to recording sources in multiple pc's.
I have a Shuttle with a PVR500mce that does the job pretty damb well currently, but occaisionally I'd like more tuners - unfortunately I only have 1 pci slot and I don't want a USB Device hanging around messing the place up. I've just scored a second PVR500mce and I'm about to run ethernet under the carport out to my Garage to put in a server (too may 'humming' pc's in the house already - don't want another one!). I could put another pc out there with the PVR500mce in it (already have an aerial on the Garage for watching sport and playing pool) and have four tuners available.
I plan to install GBPVR out there and access it with VNC (or web) to use as a backup recorder but it would be real nice for it to share the Database (SQlite??) and guide etc and to be able to schedule 3 or 4 channels and it sort it out between the two machines would be a dream!
I'll probably just flog off the Shuttle and get a slightly larger SFF pc with two pci slots sooner or later but I haven't seen one thats as quiet as the shuttle yet. With an Athlon 64 (which run cooler than P4's) with heatpipes up to the rare fan and fan speed/noise control this baby purs.
The WYSIWYG Skin Editor for GBPVR has been released with new features and fixes:
- Bug 1488257 fixed (stripped loc and size in SpecialElement)
- DrawRoundedRect implemented.
- Custom element creation added.
- Icons were added to the element's tree view
While in LiveTV the pressing of the stop button on my MCE remote causes GBPVR return an error message.
This is not a big issue, but it happens on all releases Iâve installed even on v.0.97.7.
I know its probably annoying for everyone else to see this all the time, but I would like to thank you Sub for doing such an excellent job on GBPVR.
I finally had some "free" time and decided to try to upgrade to 0.97.7. Well, the upgrade seemed to go fine. I got the message in my event log about ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll not being installed, but it did install it. I can run GBPVR on my server without any problems and playback seems fine. However my server is in a closet and not connected to a TV. I use 3 Media MVP's. It has been very hit and miss as to wether I can get them to connect. In attempting to determine what is the problem, I was using TCView from SysInternals. It seems like the different MediaMVP's are connecting to the same GBPVR.exe process. I don't know all the inner workings of GBPVR, but when I do get a MediaMVP connected, it establishes 2 connections to the same GBPVR.exe process. When I see connections from different MVP's to the same process, it never works. I assume one of these connections is the control/VNC channel and the other is the media streaming/data channel. I am attaching a section of TCPView.
I have no firewall enabled and I am running on Windows Server 2003 and I have converted the database as well and have disabled all plugins and deleted all files from my plugins folder (although this doesn't seem to affect this issue from what I can see). I am using the standard dongle.bin as well.
If I start up a single MVP server and only have one MVP plugged in, all seems to work just fine.
I have looked through the logs and can't see anything that would indicate what the issue is. They only seem to show a single MVP MAC/IP address.
