I can't help myself!
There have been a few signs recently about the next release and I find myself constantly checking the forum for Sub's release post.
While we all know Sub has had other things on his mind of late so we certainly should be patient. And of course there is nothing wrong with the current release.
I am just dying to know what new goodies are in store.
This might be a "noob" question, but when I go to search listing with the keyboard, I can scroll up and down the alphabet tree and "add" letters together.
How do I do that with the remote?
When I use the remote, each time I select a letter, the focus moves to the results. If I move back, it restarts the search entry.
My FM Radio doesn't work in the 'Scan' mode, or it 'Scans' but doesn't stop at any station and as a result I can't save my stations.
I know Sub referred to this problem with some Hauppauge cards ( I have a WinPVR 350). But he recommended using the manual 'Add' option intead.
I have the problem in the subject line. I can 'Add' one channel, but every other frequency I attempt to add makes no difference. I still have only the same single channel I first added.
Anyone have a solution? And while I'm at it, in anticipation of solving this problem, is there a way to 'force' the station into 'Mono' to reduce noise issues on weak 'stereo' stations?
When I try to download the Picture Library Source I get prompted for a user id / pwd. Does this mean the source attachment does not exist or do I need special permissions to download source?
I just upgraded to the latest version which has solved lots of my MVP issues. Howeveer I am now unable to update the EPG. I get the following error when I start a manual update:
'Failure in ChannelFactory:toreChannels(): Opertaion must use an updateable query'
I have done a search but not found anyhthing. Any help is gratefuly received
If you just want to download then go to the attachment at the end of the post. If you want to know the details, read on.
Not actually a lot of changes but I've tidied up a few loose ends - so here goes...

Guaranteed single solution grids. It really bugged me that sometimes (often actually) you would hit an either/or end-game.
Up to 6 'pencilled' numbers can be added to a single cell.
Changed the timer to be a system timer (more accurate).
Changed some of the render (drawing) logic to try to prevent needlessly redrawing parts of the screen which haven't changed.
Changed the code to return a valid Task Image. This must be located in the skin folder and should be called task.png. I'd be grateful to know if this works properly - I think I got the code right but haven't been able to test it. I've included a default task image - thanks Tipstir.
Added cursorColour attribute to the SpecialElement "SuDokuGrid" in skin.xml.
Added the ability to have a background image for the playing grid instead of a 'block' fill colour. This is experimental - I wanted to see if a textured grid background would work. A dig. photo of the marble chopping board in my kitchen worked quite nicely - the corkboard in my office didn't look so good.
To use the grid background image, you need the following composite image section in the skin.xml...
The filename can be anything you like and the path is relative to the skin folder. You also need to set backgroundImageEnabled="true" in the "SuDokuGrid" SpecialElement section.
To remind you of the controls...
Quote:
To set a difficulty level before you start, use the up/down arrows to step to the <-Level-> button then use left/right to step through the levels. Levels with (S) after them have a starting grid with rotational symmetry.
To start or continue a game use the Start/Cont button (you probably guessed that ).
Use Pause on the remote or Ctrl-Q on the keyboard to pause the game.
Use the arrow keys to move around the grid when playing. Hit a number to enter it - use 0 to clear a square.
The Blue button on the remote or Ctrl-B on the keyboard toggles 'pencil mode' on/off. Enter up to 6 pencilled numbers to help you solve the grid.
To temporarily save a game to go do something in another plugin, use the Back/Exit button on the remote (Esc on keyboard) then the Menu button (Home on the keyboard) to leave the plugin. When you return your game should still be there. If you exit the plugin using Back/Exit (Esc), it will wipe your current game. There is no permanent save option (i.e., save to disk). I may add this in the future.
Cheers,
Brian
EDIT: Ooops, meant to say...copy the DLL to the plugins folder and the other two files to a folder called SuDoku in your skin folder to use this.
PS If you use IE then turn off 'Use HTTP 1.1' in the Internet Options menu if you have trouble downloading.
I currently use GBPVR to record TV shows from my PVR500, and a D-link DSM-520 to watch the shows on our TV (wired ethernet connection). This generally works fine, except fast forward and rewind don't work at all, and there's no way to delete a show after I've watched it other than go to the PC in the other room.
So, I'm thinking of switching to a Media MVP, but I have a few questions:
1. How is the video quality of the MediaMVP? Just standard TV, not HD or widescreen.
2. Do the audio and video remain in sync, even with long movies?
3. Do pause, fast forward, and rewind actually work? Any weird problems?
4. Can I delete shows I've watched from the MediaMVP?
5. The DSM-520 requires navigating through multiple screens to watch the shows I want ("My Media", "Video", "My Video", "Folders", "Video", and finally the list of videos). The "Video" button on the remote only skips the first screen, not very helpful. Does the MediaMVP allow easier access to the show list?
I have no interest in viewing pictures, music, live TV, or DVD files. I just want to watch MPEG2 shows I've recorded on my PC.
What advantages/disadvantages does GBPVR provide compared to the Hauppauge server?
