i have no idea how to go about writing plugins, or i'd start working on this now.

the idea stems from the actual set-top cable box my girlfriend has at her apartment. it has a 'favorites' button, that just cycles through user-defined favorite channels. on the same note, it would be cool to be able to tell gbpvr what my favorite shows are, and have a menu option to see upcoming favorite shows. (i think tivo has this, but i've never actually used a tivo brand box)

it would also be neat to be able to filter the guide to only show favorite channels.

Hello

I have recently been putting together a media PC and this program was recommended by a few people. So far it has proved to be the easiest and most comprehensive free package out there so thank you.

And now my problem.

I have been running GBPVR fine for a few days but wanted to set up my remote on my Compro DVB T200 to work with it. I had a look around and got a program called HIP which seemed to be working really well at regonising my remote and passing through the commands to GBPVR. However after a few start ups I noticed I couldnt control the screen anymore and found that a new window was opening up. This window is called GDI+ Window but doesnt seem to open up into anything. Due to this window loading up and being at the front it takes all presidance and i cant control GBPVR again till i click on the main GBPVR window. This is an issue for me as i was hoping to run the box with out a mouse or keyboard and just boot stright in to GBPVR. The HIP program looks to be causing this as when it is closed i never seem to get the GDI window loading. The window is in the image below.



Any ideas on how to correct this?

Since I upgraded to this version I notice the following bugs:
- I often see a green display when pausing, resuming or skipping a movie
- The screensaver doesn't release when pressing any button. Only pressing "guide" could make the screensaver go away.

I've just tried the new Horizontal MainMenu (v95.16) and have to say a real nice to have. But i ran into a problem placing the TaskDescription. For setting up the buttons i switched off TaskDescription but now when i want to reactivate it, it will not show up. It seems it is not possible to have TaskDescription and a horizontal menu. By the way taskdescription works fine with the same skinfile and vertical menus.

Please let me know if someone else had the same Problem or if i'm doning something wrong.

greetings,

i have had a hard time getting to the wiki all day - i get a page and then all requests time out for a couple hours before i manage to get through again. Am i having issues here or is there something wrong.

thanks

Where does the path get stored for recorded mpg's?

Issue #1:

I'm now on v95.16, but ever since upgrading to 95.14 I've been seeing the errors shown in the quote snippet below appear in the log when using MyPictures:

Quote:the "The object is currently in use elsewhere." probably isnt from my pictures, ive locked most things when using threads, and all drawing is actually done in the main thread (this use to be a common problem in mypics 2), so theres no reason (that i know of) for my pics 3 to generate this error. however i have seen this error but it was caused by gbpvr and not my pics.

If you turn the screensaver/visualizations function, will it not fire while watching tv? I did some reading, but couldn't find a specific q&a (point me to a thread if there is one instead, pls). I don't use the native windows one now because it won't sense watching a DVD as being active.

I haven't use this yet, since we don't listen to a lot of music throught he tv. My wife wanted to, which reminded me about the new visualizations.

I have been putzing with trying to get dvd2mpeg to work on a disk I have. It is a disk made by dvdshrink. DVD2MPEG quits after extracing the m2v file. There is no audio file. I assume it is because I removed the first english audio (probably 5.1 dts) to save space. Is this likely the problem. I will try using 81 as the audio stream to see if that works.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I would like to control the width of the TV Guides's Channel Name column.
