Any possibility of delaying the XML TV update like is done for the Zap2It download if a recording is about to start or in progress. I've had a couple of recordings scheduled for 2am because that is when a show wasn't in conflict with another, and even though a show is recording, the XML TV download starts, and messes up the recording. XML TV processing takes a bit of CPU and messes up the recordings if it is running at the same time.
I'll probably move my download time around, but I'm sure I'm going to run into the conflict again.
sub i must admit i never tried the visualization music library until today, i thought that it just went into fullscreen right away.
anyway is there an api call to bring up the visualization window, this is a brilliant little thing, i would love to show it on most screens. and what is it exactly, a child window? just wondering about the whole repaint issue.
also is there a way to position/size it?
the PM3 skin on xbmc pretty much fulls the main menu with the visualiztion when music is playing back, i would also like to do this.
I dont have a remote with my TV tuner card and I cant figure out how to fast forward through commericals and stuff I dont want to watch Can someone tell me how to do this? Similarlly, I am tryong to fast forward through commercials for the most part. I would like to download some software that cuts out the commercials for me, can soemone give me a link for that too? Thanks
I installed the color collection with the 95.11 upgrade today. It generally works well, but I've found a few minor issues. I never used this skin with 94.13, so I don't know if these are upgrade issues or not.
-When you delete a recording with confirmation required, the window doesn't show up. I can hit 'ok' a second time and it deletes the file, it just doesn't show the popup window.
-I changed the background color to the dark blue and the window that you use to choose 'watch, record, quick record' etc is still beige. Everything else is the correct color.
-Sub's new guide features don't show up. Specifically the colored bar above the times that tells you if there is something scheduled or a conflict during that time.
-One feature request is for the main menu to keep the highlight in the center like the bluemce2 skin does. It allows you to put often used buttons above and below the default highlighted button. The way 'colors' currently works, when I push up it jumps all the way to the bottom of the list.
Great work on your skin series. I love the professional feel and it's obvious you've put a lot of work into your collections.
Thanks

I was recently playing with BDA muxers when the audio in GB-PVR decided to stop working. Nothing in GB-PVR outputs audio (DVD, TV, Video Library) but everything else outside of GB-PVR is fine. What might the problem be?
It seems in the newest relesae the Recordings tab is missing from gbpvr.mdb. What is it called now? Can I create a recordings tab safely, if so how? Thanks.
Ive been using GBPVR for a while now, to view the dvr-ms files recorded on my MCE machine, through my MVP I have in the bedroom, works very well and no need to try and source a MCE Extender!
Having just installed the latest version of GBPVR, I love the addition of the delete button in the video library, no need to go back to the MCE machine to delete watched shows anymore !! Many thanks for the addition sub.
There are only 2 things remaining which enhance the 'MCE Extender' functionality of GBPVR/MVP ....
1. It would be great for files to be grouped - almost like in folders, rather than in a long list, I assume that MCE does this based on the file name as the all follow the same format separated by the underscore e.g.
this is the show title_channel_dd_mm_yy_hh_mm_ss.dvr-ms
2. the ability to access the meta data stored to give the programme details, which are storedin the dvr-ms file , this is described in more detail at
Of course, I realise that neither of these are ever going to be high priority for most GBPVR users, but i thought i would add it to the wishlist for a rainy day!
I've read that it is recommeded to route the PVR-350 audio out to the sound card audio line-in to be able to control the level. The audio already lags the video by a bit, sometimes enough to be disconcerting, sometimes not. Routing the audio through the sound card will only delay it further making the problem worse. Is there any way in GBPVR (or anywhere else for that matter) to adjust the audio/video sync on a PVR-350? I have the Hauppauge Tweaker tool and it doesn't do it.
Hi sub, I wondered if you could add a few more options to the Music Library skin - basically I run into a couple of problems in icon mode with a non-black background:
1 You paint a small black square around the album images, which means that this square slightly messes up non-black backgrounds.
2. If the album image and IconText positions/sizes could be allowed to be changed in the skin, that would be great - at the moment, the IconText partially obscures the album image for me in icon mode, which makes it a bit hard to read.
