Since gbpvr is only using the 'title', 'sub-title' and 'desc' tags of xmltv files for generating epg data, but xmltv files can contain much more information, i've written a small xsl-file as a workaround to put those other information into the 'desc'-tag.
Currently the nodes 'episode-num', 'category', 'country', 'date', 'credits' and 'rating' are used.
I'm german so it is targetted to a german gbpvr and contains some german words like 'Buch' or 'Moderation', but it should be easy to translate it in any other language you want.

I'm using saxon as xml processor, but it should also work with any other.
NEWS FLASH: ninemsn attempts to cause damage to the WAF for my PVR. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Anybody in Australia got a good program that will output files which the gb-pvr XMLTV plugin can accept?? I was previously using TVHarvest and as most aussie's know this no longer works.
Tried another proggy called JavaXMLTVGrabber2; it doesn't seem to output a file that gb-pvr can read.
Will use bladerunner if I have to, however from other threads it seems this may have problems too.
After a TV show is recorded, it doesn't seem to place a record under the Recordings (not in Whats New nor Ready). The show is being recorded (I can browse to the show from the Video Library in GBPVR. It looks as though ComSkip is working fine because I can watch through the Video Library and the commercials are detected.
I tried a Compact and Repair operation from with MS Access. Still not working.
Let me know what information I can provide to help you diagnose this issue.
I have had my setup running well with just a 250 for a long time. I added a 350 to my computer, and set it up as board 2. Now when I start a recording both boards record the same show. One of the recording is good, the other leaves an mpg file about 200KB in size and is unviewable.
At this point I removed the pvr350 capture source. I still get the same result, two video files (one good, one bad).
One thing I wish is if there was a way to exit from a playback and have GBPVR remember where I left off. When going back to a recording, either select (Play) or maybe a new button (Resume) ?
Bringing up the display on the MediaMVP only shows it for a few seconds. Any way to keep the display up until I hit the button on the Hauppauge remote again?
I also wish there was a way to playback at 2x, 4x, 8x, etc.
Running 94.12 and using an MVP. Sometimes when recording and I try to watch the recording from the beginning, all I get is a black screen. Anyone else have this experience?
I just setup My Videos and all the utils to burn shows to DVD. It does step 1 fine but then I just checked the system and it's showing a white screen with a red X across the screen. The system still responds and the mouse moves, I can get into start menu. It's been there for about 45 min and the HDD light is still flashing. Is this normal? Thanks!
I have a room that I just can't get CAT 5 to for a MVP. I really don't want to do the wireless bridge route so I am still looking for ideas. I have run across some posts talking about using modulators to send the signal over coax. This sounds good if I can get it to work. I do not know much about them and am looking for any general info. I would be interested in hearing how people use them with GBPVR. Can you just plug your RCA cables from the Video and Audio out on the PC or MVP into it and then coax cable it into the house system? Part of me thinks this would work if you sent it out on an open channel, or do I have to do something more sophisticated?
I think this type of solution would also work to have the same recording showing on more than 1 TV at a time. Now, with multiple MVP's they are not in sync and the sound drives you crazy.
I am using BlueMCE2 as it is my favorite skin. However, it does display xRecord well. A part of the screen in the bottom is missing, and not all recordings are displayed. It works well in other skins.
