I have searched through the forums but have not come across anyone else with the same problem. If I can supply any more information than below, please request.
To create: I am using GBPVR v0.94.13. If I run GBPVR.exe with the -onlyupdateepg option or if I select Update EPG from the GBPVRtray.exe context menu, a small window titled "Information" appears with the text "Updating EPG - please wait".
The problem: The message never moves onto the next phase. If you move the mouse over the window, it is an hourglass. The window cannot be closed using the close button, Alt+F4 or the context menu on the task bar. To close it, I need to end task it from task manager.
My actions: This has happened on the last few versions of GBPVR for me (sorry, I dont remembered when I first noticed it but it happened before v0.94.13). With this latest version being the version for a while, I decided to empty my EPG, delete my recording sources, uninstall GBPVR and delete the devnz folder. I reinstalled (v0.94.13), re-added sources, setup my EPG (bleb) and it didn't make any difference. (It did get rid of a residual crashing skin issue though and the occasional appearance of an "object reference..." error, which was cool!)
Notes: The automatic EPG updating works fine, as does the Update EPG button the Config.exe utility.
The following is the gbpvr.exe.log file taken after running gbpvr.exe with the -onlyupdateepg command line parameter:

Guys, thanks for a really first rate forum. Thanks to the info here I've read and browsed my way through many problems and have my NOVA-T and MVP with gbpvr recording and playing back a dream. Credit to Sub and all contributers....
And so on to my problem. I have installed the Video Archive plugin and have it showing on the menu when I view the PC. When I fire up the MVP its not there?? The DVD Ripper and DVDtoMpeg features are however. It may be something really simple in the config but I can't pin it down. When I view the "Video" button from the pc menu, recordings are listed by date and not by name?? I can't find anything via the search about these problems and they have me stumped. Ive done lots of rebooting - unplugging etc. still no "video" button on the MVP menu??? Hope this is the right forum if it needs to be under plugins please move it over.
I currently have whole-house IR dirstribution using Xantech IR (12 volt). I would like to interface my GB-PVR box to this system. I could certainly go the route of an IR Blaster and IR Receiver on the PC, but it would be nicer to intergrate directly with the Xantech system. A quick search on the web didn't turn anything up, so I thought I would ask here. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
I created a zap2it account, entered my name and password correctly. When I click update EPG it tells me
Your EPG source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG source settings and try again.
The card I have is WinTV-PVR-500MCE. I have had problems with this card since I tried installing it a few days ago. My computer automatically installed the drivers for it and when I tried running the setup file to install the program it said cannot find hcwpnp32.dll. So, I am not even sure if this card is completely installed. Do I need to install the program that came with the card?
Just realized that it is the Music Player that eats all my CPU. The GBPVR.exe started by the SYSTEM uses about 30-40% CPU whithout me even starting GBPVR.exe gui. The GUI then eats another 35%...
Perhaps this is due to some database build-up, but in that case it's taking weeks, because thats how long I had this problem before. I then removed all plugins and all was well. Today I installed it again and Boom there went the CPU meter...
I now use my gbpvr to record shows and then convert them to mp4 to playback on my ipod. I run comskip and comclean then move the file to my default conversion folder. I get this all to work (then videora runs automatically and converts to mp4 ready to transfer to my ipod).
BUT, I would like the recordings to be named with the show name as well as the episode name.
Currenlty I get a name like this: Seinfeld_20051123_23300000.mpg
I would like it to appear like this: Seinfeld - The Blood.mpg
I have tried renamerecording and this, as far I as I am able to figure out, will rename the show to the episode only, so The Blood.mpg.
After renamerecording I obviously I lose the file (since %1 no longer works) and I don't know how to automatically cut and move the file to my default conversion directory. How can I also find the name of the recently renamed file and then move it?
Any help?
Here is my postproceessing.bat
comskip %1
call comclean %1
del "%~dpn1.log"
del "%~dpn1.txt"
del "%~dpn1.logo.txt"
del "%~dpn1_original.mpg"
RenameRecording %1 > RenameRecording.log
move %1 F:\Media\Video\Videora\Downloads
FYI.......the Videora\Downloads location runs Videora and converts anything dumped there to mp4 for the ipod.
Have the Music Album Plugin been updated to allow editing of the queue list?
(It states on the wiki that "The select button will bring you to an unimplemented feature that will allow you to edit the queue."
Or is it some other plugin I should be using? I want to add and delete tracks to the playlist/queue of titles that I'm currently listening to.
Maybe this is already possible in a plugin but I thought I would mention it.
A friend uses MythTv and he said he entered a WishList of the top 100 movies of all time. If they are ever on, they will be recorded. Not sure if he entered them via the gui or a flat file (xml most likely).
I assume the name would have to be wildcarded, just in case the name in the guide is slightly different.
I haven't checked out XGuide/XRecord, does it support this type of feature?
