I just started using gbpvr and everything has been fine so far.
The only real problem happened today when I tried playing a mp3 file from the music library. I got a "class not registered" av and changes from the system default in config didnt resolve it.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction on this one :p
thx

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.
There has been a few significant changes behind the scenes in the next release, and this will have a flow on effect to plugins. The biggest changes include moving to .NET 2.0, changing the way database connections work.
While many existing .NET 1.1 plugins work just fine on the .NET 2.0 version of GB-PVR, I must encourage plugin developers to test their plugins for compatibility. To get access to this new build, send me a PM and I'll supply you download info. In the PM let me know which plugins you are developer of.
This is particularly important for developers that have connected directly to the GBPVR.MDB database. If you do this, then it wont work in the next release. I can give you alternative info on how to do this under the new scheme. The old 'head in the sand' approach to ignoring this wont help - those plugins that do this will crash in the next release if they dont get changed.
Hi, I've spent over a couple of hours trying to set the capture source settings but no avail. The wiki says that the novat usb2 is supported. I use recording source BDA Recording Plugin, but I'm really struggling with the EPG source. I've tried bleb uk, but after the scan I got nothing.
I was hoping someone could help me with XMLTV plugin settings. Could you take me through the exact steps to setting it up?
Very let down by Wintv2000 and not that impressed with stability of showshifter. Heard good things about this prog though.
I've searched the boards and read many post about the DB size issue. As far as I can tell nothing has really been clearly stated on how to handle this.
Here is what I run into all the time. My HTPC will be be running for 1 - 2 weeks and teh DB will get huge, like 5GB or more. I know you have put some code in that "may" compact the database. I've tried everything and it never gets packed. No tray icon, no plugins, nothing but bare bones install and it still just grows. Not even a reboot of teh HTPC will pack it. The only sure fire way I have found is to go into config and click OK. Needless to say that isn't the most efficient way to do that, especially if a person is on holiday or otherwise away from the HTPC for long periods of time.
Is there a startup option that would pack the DB? If so then a reboot could be scheduled and the problem would be taken care of to a point. Is there any kind of plugin that can be added to sever all DB connections and pack it, then make sure everything gets restarted?
I love this software but this is starting to become a fairly significant problem.
Can I use my happuage remote to close emulator programs that I have opened through the My Programs plugin? I can set a keyboard key to be the quit command in the emulator itself but don't know where I need to add that to the irremote.ini file
I have a show that comes on in 2 different timeslots that I want to record, so I want to set up a recording for both these timeslots, but I only want to keep 5 recordings. How will gbpvr handle this, since it has 2 reoccurring recordings on a show all going into one folder.....will it keep 5 for each recording, making my total show count 10?......or will it simply see that it has 5 total and start dumping regardless of which timeslot recording is currently running? Is that confusing?
Being this one of the latest, if not the latest Firmware on the MVP (Rev H), Is there anybody out there that has this Rev and has problems with Color saturation , similar to what has been reported on older Rev D firmwares ?
BTW, this is the one that has a "SPDIF" black port out, I guess for AC3 Digital SOund output.
I have 2 MVPS. The older one (Rev D3), is prefect. This new one I received last week is Rev H and the color is plain unwatchable. My TV has different adjustments for different inputs, but even when I make adjustments, the color is awful. Too much red. Not enough brightness.
I talked with Hauppauge tech support. They told me to take pictures and attach them so that they can see if they can send me another unit. Got a feeling I am out 90 bucks. :mad:
I'm proud to present the new simple WYS/WYG skin editor for GBPVR.
This is the first release, it is written in c# .NET (working with .net 2.0)
usage is very simple - open a skin -> edit it by setting parameters -> save.
some screenshots:
this little project is open source so you may change it as you like.
the source is not well documented, but i would be happy to answer on any question.
have fun!
p.s
i know about the SkinTools WYS/WYG editor, but i didn't sucessed to use it without getting exceptions and i think it is to complicated for this simple skin system. (a lot of its functionaly is not implemented in gbpvr)
