I have done an update to the flat blue high vis skin for those of you who have upgraded to the latest GB-PVR version. There are still a couple of minor issues (for instance xguide has gone a bit strange, and I can't get rid of the black box around xrecord list items), but I think I have duplicated all of sub's updates.
For now I have just uploaded the "Green Orb" icon version - I will probably put the older-style icons up after I look at final tweaks over the weekend .
I'm not sure how this is supposed to work, so bear with me.
Yesterday evening I wanted to record two shows one after the other, but on seperate channels. My pre- and post- padding is set to 5mins and I was worried that there would be a problem because I only have one tuner. When I came back to it this morning there was an error dialog saying something like "the GBPVR recording service has encountered an error and has to close". The first show had recorded OK, but the second failed.
This evening, I found that I wanted to record two shows back to back again, but this time on the same channel. I was curious to see what happened this time, so I hung around to see what happened at the changeover time. Sure enough, the first recording finished, and the error dialog was displayed again. I manually restarted the recording service and I'm pretty sure now the second show is recording OK, I can see the file size incrementing in Windows Explorer.
So the question is - if you have only one tuner and have pre- and post- padding specified, is GBPVR *supposed* to be able to handle back to back recordings?
I have installed the weather plugin and used msnbc.com to get my area code (Calgary, Canada). I set the website to celsius and used this area code. The weather plugin is displaying the right number but not in Celsius but Fahrenheit. Am I doing some wrong of is there a way around this. If somebody could help that would be great.
If I have multiple storage drives and a motherboard that doesn't support RAID; what is the best way to configure GBPVR? Is there a way to specify mutliple recording directories? If one drive filled up would it be possible for GBPVR to start using the second drive?
I'm looking at getting a MediaMVP, but I was also wondering if there is a software alternative that would allow another PC to share the media content/tv tuner from another gbpvr/pc? BeyondTV now has that feature (at additional cost).
Music Player works well until I try to initiate Icon View
The plugin spits me back to the main menu with - "Error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object". (If I set Display->Preview mode from config then this happens immediately as I invoke MusicPlayer.)
The musicplayer-PC log has the following entry :
01/12/2005 16:50:35[8] Got an unexpected key value 17
01/12/2005 16:50:35[8] Key data ControlKey, Control
01/12/2005 16:50:35[8] Control = True
01/12/2005 16:50:35[8] Shift = False
01/12/2005 16:50:35[8] Alt = False
Is this something to do with the artwork/images or is there something missing ?
I'd like to see a better search function. It has title search which IMHO is better than Tivo's but I'd like to be able to search by channel like you can do on Tivo. Say, pick Discovery and you only get a listing of what's on DSC.
Also, DVD autorun would be nice. Pop in a dvd and it plays. Also, DVD burning built-in with commercial skipping would be totally nice, but I think that's wishful thinking.
