As a newbie im having trouble with getting the weather to show info on the main menu background as displayed on many skin previews. I searched the forums and wiki and read alot of threads and tried to read/edit various XML files in my gbpvr directory, but i just feel too stupid to get it working on my own.
I guess i have to make the weather plugin send info to a "panel" and then make the main skin show the panel on the main screen, but how do i do this? Im using the "HC contour" skin and would like it to look like this: http://forums.gbpvr.com/attachment.php?a...1135802751
I hope im not alone in this, i think many unskilled users would like an easy step-by-step guide to show stuff on the main screen like this
I've got some .M4A files which are AAC-encoded audio, ripped from CD by iTunes. With FFdshow they play fine in Windows Media Player, and sort-of OK in GBPVR, but they stutter every time a key is pressed. Playing them in the "My Music" plugin, they sounded awful until I turned off the big time-display that updates every second, then they seem to play ok until I press any key. In the built-in Music Library they seem to play ok, but stutter whenever a key is pressed too. Using GraphEdit it looks like they are uing FFdshow as the audio decoder, so I tried both 'realaac' and 'libfaad2' settings for AAC decoding in FFdshow, but it makes no difference.
I'm not sure if this is something GBPVR can do anything about, it may be purely internal to FFdshow, I don't know enough about DirectShow to say.
The stutter/jump appears to be caused whenever the display is updated, I guess.
I have installed the ExternalRecorder plugin but it is not showing up on the Plugin tab of the config app. I checked the log and it shows that the dll is being found in the gbpvvr\\plugins directory (why the double backslash?). But nothing shows up in config. Im new to gbpvr and this is the first plugin I have tried to install so it's not clear this problem is specific to ExternalRecorder. Any ideas?
I can't seem to find an answer to this elsewhere on the forums. I get a blank screen when selecting DVD in gbpvr so it doesn't seem to be picking up an appropriate DVD decoder. When I try to set the DVD video decoder in the config program, the drop-down menu just shows "System Default". However, the video decoder drop-down for MPEG2 playback on the Playback tab shows "System Default", "Intervideo nn-CSS", "Elecard" and "Nero". (I'm using Elecard for regular playback).
1) How do I get the Elecard decoder to show up in the config drop-down? Is there a change I need to make to config.xml?
2) Is "DVD Navigator" OK for the Navigator field in config? It is the only item available on the drop-down.
It is now the second time that when pressing a button on the remote (the first time is whas when starting live TV, now it was pressing back from the webradio menu) a white screen with a big red cros appears. The only remedy is to kill GBPVR and restart. I attached the exe.log as it contains an error massage
I have two PVR-150s; #1 is intended for recordings and is tuning standard CATV. #2 is hooked up to my STB.
Problem is that when #1 is recording, GB gives me a warning message that no available turner is available and my choices are exit or watch the program being recorded. So why isn't it recognizing the second tuner?
As I understand this quote from sub in an earlier post, my config should work:
"It generally starts at the top of the list of capture sources and works its way down until it finds a free device that can record the specified channel. Live tv starts at the bottom of the list and works its way up, to minimize conflicts. The rules can change a bit with back to back recordings since it tries to get padding on both devices. It can also move a recording to another capture source if its inuse with TV when its scheduled to record."
Any ideas would help. I'm fairly new to GB and am still working the kinks out.
