I looked in another program that downloads the guide information from Zap2it and in the descriptions they had (movie) or (Special). So that tells me that the information is there, it is just how you extract it from the listings.
In GB, can you do a search for (movie)? Or (Special)?
This is incase you don't know the name of the movie.
Has anyone heard anything about when Hauppauge is going to release the new wireless MVP. Awhile ago I had heard the rumor it would be released in October, well so much for that.
I have problems with MusicAlbums. It doesn't work, and the installation of it caused problems with other parts of GB-PVR: The original MP3 player, Live TV, playing a recorded show.
In MusicAlbums:
In MusicAlbums I can see my folders and all the MP3 files, but when I try to play a MP3 file I get this error message:
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
In Music Library:
I cannot play the MP3 files with the standard "Music Library" from the original GB-PVR installation, I get the same error message. It worked fine until I installed the MusicAlbums plugins.
In Live TV and at replaying recorded shows:
when I stop a Live TV play og stop playing a recorded show, I also get the same error message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. This also happened after installation of the plugins. I never had this error before.
History:
First I installed MusicAlbumsII, it didn't work. It is based on MusicAlbums, so I thought that it would help to install that. It still didn't work.
Then I read in the forum that MusicAlbums is maybe dependent of VideoArchive plugin, so I installed that. I still cannot play MP3 files.
I have attached logfiles in case anyone is able to help.
At timestamp 13.37 I try to run a MP3 via the MusicLibrary
At timestamp 13.38 I try via MusicAlbums
All plugins were downloaded 7th November 2005
The PC is running windows 2000 pro
Later I tried to make a fresh installation of GB-PVR on another PC (win XP). I installed MusicAlbum plugin and other plugins and one by one. After every installation, I tested before I installed the next plugin. I realized that MusicAlbum and MyPictures cannot coexist on my PC. MusicAlbum works fine until I install Mypictures (and MyDatabase). After that, I get all the same same errors again. The error message comes in all the same situations, at running MP3 files, at stopping Live TV and at stopping replay of a recorded show.
I tried to remove the MusicAlbum plugin files from the plugin and skin folders, but is has no effect.
I had seen some posts in the past that I don't seem to be able to find right now about issues of running GBPVR on a 2003 server.
Right now, I primarily use an MVP as my access to server where 2K3 runs, and it works well. My only issue now is that when I use the web interface from a remote computer to schedule a show, it doesn't actually record the scheduled show.
There was something about running the web service on 2K3 as a service I recall. .. Anyone have the similar issue?
I am using CDKschedular and I am very happy with its functionality.
However my disks are getting very full
Is there a way to delete old recordings automatically according to some rules?
I do NOT use GB-PVR for viewing so it has to be fully automatic and it can not use any human interaction.
It should also work if I do not have time to manage the GB-PVR computer for some weeks.
There's a few persistant plugins that I can't get rid of. One is the weather plugin another is the VA Panel. I know that deselecting the plugin in the config app just makes the plugin invisible (weather data is still being fetched e.g.) The remove button is always greyed out for me, so that's no option.
Even if I remove the dll. I can still see in the log that e.g. weather forecast is being recieved, or at least that it tries too....
I'm trying and failing to get Rectracker to work properly.
I'm only using RecTracker, not CDK Scheduler, X record or anything else mentioned in the forums.
Rectracker installed ok, relevant lines added to postprocessing.bat and my updateepg script. RecTracker database created ok.
However, duplicates are still being recorded. In the UK, certain channels show the same episode of a show twice a day, so more people can watch it. However, occasionally they will show different episodes on the same day. Hence the need for rectracker to stop duplicate recordings, without missing new episodes.
Firstly, does rectracker allow the GBPVR to record the show, then delete it? Or does it remove the recording from the schedule before the recording happens?
Second, why am I getting two copies of the same episode of a show?
I'm using XMLTV as my epg source.
The contents of my rectracker.log are below. What are subtitles and do I need to change my settings to ensure I get subtitles?
Code:
Command -purge
Show Charmed typically has subtitles
Show The West Wing typically has subtitles
I have this wierd problem, i look through my guide, and i find that show i want to record in this case "Troldspejlet", witch is only shown on mondays at 1730, but when i look in the guide, i find it both monday and tuesdays at 1730?
I use o2grabber, and i checked the xml source file, i do not have the show there on tuesdays.
I did notice that a lot of entries look a bit wierd, like a show starts at 2200 and then the same show starts again 15 minutes later on the same channel.
I tried to empty the EPG data, but no matter what i do it stays there.
Folks,
I didn't know where to post this so I'm putting it here. Sub, feel free to move it if you wish.
Yesterday, I hacked together a quick access database to give me a watch list for either shows I'd like to record if they ever come on, or actors that I like, anything they're listed in (assuming it's in the description - zap2it canada/us has this). I know this feature I'd love built in, but I'd guess it's a low priority given the number of people it can support (ie, US/Canada based on the zap2it outputs) hence my quick effort to do this, given Christmas season is coming and there's a few shows I'd like to record for once and not miss.
It opens to a simple page listing the shows and artists on the right, add any you want. click the "process" button and it returns a list of shows from the epg in gbpvr. From there, you simply pick the ones to record, and click the record button. Done. When it appears, it will appear in your list of recorded shows. It uses the season programming method to ensure it gets a copy (since I find I have a number of conflicts) so at some point, you need to remove the same listing from that list (I know...feature request to check that it's been recorded and take it out directly...)
If you're interested, PM me and I'll email it over. If there's a public posting locations and Sub agrees, I'll post it there if desired.
