Hi,

I recently purchased Mediamvp and I am very happy with the product. However for me the software is somewhat limiting.

While I want my digital media distributed via my home network, I would also want to run my home automation system via Mediamvp.

Question :

Is it possible for me to run a VNC/PC Anywhere type software that will take control of the host computer ?

In this way, I can control just about anything on the host pc via my Mediamvp remote.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Reuben

Hello,

I am pretty new to GB-PVR, although I am most defintely NOT new to programming, so I am not completely sure what plugins are out there already and what ones are currently being developed. Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, or step on anyone else's toes and steal their thunder, let me know if you are currently developing or have already developed a plugin that is functionally the same as what I am proposing to make. If it does exist, pleae also let me know how I can help you make it better. Here is my proposed list of ideas:

• Calendar (ability to integrate with Google Calendar)
  
• Email notifier AND reader (integrates with Gmail)
  
• Parental controls for DVD's and videos. Not only locks from being viewed, but actually hides them from site
  
• A better interface for dealing with your music. Tagged based.
  
• Way to integrate with DVD profiler (collection.xml) to add all sorts of meta data to your DVD and video collections. Would also be nice to be able to use free web services to automatically either look up information or give links to more information (about actors, etc.) and to movie trailers.
  

This is a wierd one, I thought it would only happen once, so left it the first time, but now it's happened 3 times. It goes like this (all though the MVP) and via the Xrecord screen.

- I play one of two (or more) similarly named files in Xrecord Screen. I may have paused it once or twice when watching it.
- I delete the show.
- I start to play the next show with a similar name.
- I hit the blue button on the (45 button newer) Hauppage MVP remote (did they change something in the mapping maybe?).
- It SHOULD pop up the OSD in GBPVR, but instead pops up a RESUME/RESTART screen, which when I press resume or restart, resumes (or restarts) the previously DELETED file (I swear, my wife will back me up) at the point I may have previously paused the DELETED file.

What happens when a file is deleted? Is it not actually deleted until you exit GBPVR?

k.

What am I doing wrong? I have looked up the wiki and searched these forums but to no avail. I can scan the stations, click on 'Keep' and then 'Add' but only the first one gets added with the name of 'Unknown'. I can not see any way of editing the name, either. I feel pretty stupid. Sorry if it is obvious!

OK so here is the setup and information and I'm having a few Problems..

I have a Brand new ATI Wonder Elite running on Windows Xp Pro.

The Card is working because I can open the Tuning Assitant and I see the Piciture on the channels as it does searches but I can't seem to get playback working.

Here is what I've done. I installed the software and I set the Config portion under source to Direct Recording Plugin. I setup an Zapit Account and I set the recording source to Ati Tv Wonder Elite (like it should be) Internal Tuner and Cable TV. I have the Remote but haven't quite figured out how to install the plugin I've downloaded for the remote so I simply set the channel changer to no channel changer required.

So At this point I save the config and everything seems to work as for opening the software HOWEVER when I hit live TV I get nothing. So I've tried the different playback options across the bottom as for the Video Decoder the only option I have is Nvidia Video Decoder.... so I'm not sure if thats the issue or not..

Any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm happy to RTFM... if someone can point me to a specific document that will spell it out for me GREAT... Or if there is specific place for documentation in general would be great..... Or if you wanna lead me by the nose thats cool to I suppose....

Thanks in Advanced

I'm running the most recent version of GBPVR, I applied the MVP reboot fix weeks ago, and now I can't watch 10 minutes of a show over my MVP...

Here's the error:

I've seen quite a few posts on here with various discussions about how to turn your PVR PC on or off without having to run down to the basement and press the spacebar, click the mouse or press the power button on the PC.

Here's an idea... it may not work, but it seems fairly simple to me...

The power switch on the PC is a toggle switch which is connected to 2 pins on the motherboard. What if an IR toggle switch was connected to these pins instead? Is this possible?

I've seen lots of kits available on the net (Google "IR toggle switch") but haven't seen them used in this way. Also, from what I've seen, the IR switches operate by receiving ANY IR signal. It would be nice if they only recognized a particular signal, or else this application would be useless. (Your PC would turn off/on with every press of a remote button!)

Would anyone like to expand on this or laugh at me?

Ever since the latest update, I have been having an issue with Netradio. When I start netradio, it works for around a minute. Then it stops and I have to restart GB-PVR to get it to work again. A side effect from using Netradio is that I lose sound (whether Netradio continues to work or not) when I try to watch a recording or live TV after using Netradio. A restart will bring back the sound.

I have tried changing config.xml for the use WMP for Netradio with no difference. When Netradio stops working, I can go to my Recordings directory and listen to the MP3 file there with WMP, which continues to grow without any problem. But not from GB-PVR.

Please find logs attached. Thank you.

Hi, I am a new user (as in this is the first time ever coming to this site) and want to know if GB-PVR either has or if there is a plugin that has the functionality to not only block certain DVD's and videos, but actually hide them from showing. This is the end result I am looking for:

There are some sort of parental controls feature. I can block DVD's and/or videos from my collection. Not only does this block them from being watched, but does not show them in the library, unless I log in as a parental user, etc.

Does this exist yet? I am thinking of migrating from SageTV to this system; however, there are a few things that I need in order to do that. This is one of them. Thanks.

Andrew
