I see posts about recordings not stopping, but I have a different issue.
I pad the endings, but sometimes I know a show has ended on time. I cancel it, but it won't stop recording. Even more odd is that it disappears from the pending list, and isn't in the ready list until the last minute is past.
How do you tell recording to stop? I seem to be able to do this w/ ones that have just started, but it never seems to work if you try in the last few minutes.
I am trying to use My Music, the Music Library shows my mp3's and allows me to play them.
It does not display either my mp3's or playlists. If I select PlayList..File list, then I can see my songs, but they aren't playlists, Then if I highlight a playlist (really a single mp3) and press enter, nothing happens. It says playlists in the upper right corner of "My Music" screen.
I'm wondering if anyone has written a plug in database viewer for GBpvr. Even a list viewer of some sort.
I don't use GBpvr for DVD viewing i use 3 Sony carousel DVD players. It's inconvenient to go to the computer all the time, it's two floors away, to see what's where. It sure would be nice to just bring up the list of what's available to watch on DVD, and what slot it's been assigned to.
Just done a cean install of 93.10 using Nova-T USB. Channel scan and mapping looks fine in config, but in TV guide I have ITV2 logo against both 2 and 3. If I try to select ITV2, no programs can be highlighted and description says 'close'.
Where should I look or this problem?
I guess many of us have a lot of digital photos we would like to view on the TV set in the living room. I have spent several evening organizing my photos for GB-PVR. I watch them via an MVP box, which appeared to cause a lot of trouble. The combination of the MyPictures plugin and the MediaMVP Server is not working very well.
I already started one tread about this subject, but probably in the wrong forum. http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=9779
In addition I have experienced other problems. I'll list them one by one:
1)
Sometimes I cannot stop a slideshow. When this happends, this certain folder will always have this error. I can only fix it by creating a new folder with another name, move the jpg files to the new folder and delete the old folder.
2)
Certain jpg files causes MediaMVP server to crash. Stepping through the files manually or with slideshow makes no difference. I can see the failing photo, but I cannot move on to the next. Only workaround is to delete the failing files from the folder and restart MVP.
See detailed description http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=9779
3)
certain jpg files stops slideshow, but I can get out by pressing Stop on the remote control.
Only workaround is to delete the failing files from the folder.
4)
If I edit a jpg file (ie. rotate it) and save it again, MyPictures doesn't realize that the file has been changed.
The workaround is to save the edited picture with a new filename and delete the original.
[COLOR="Red"]None of these problems appear if I use GB-PVR direcly on the PC, only with MVP I see the problems.
The MVP box can view any of the failing files with the Hauppauge software.[/COLOR]
After spending weeks trying different HTPC/PVR software I ended up with GB-PVR as a clear favorite.
It is stable and the basic installation fulfils most of my needs. I only missed the picture viewer, which to my oppinion is a very essential part of at PVR/HTPC. I hoped that the plugin would be of a quality matching the GB-PVR, but so far I am getting more and more frustrated.
Coming home from a vacation with 200 photos takes ages to organize. Every time the slideshow meets a jpg file it doesn't like, I'll have to restart MediaMVP box 3 - 4 times until I am back in business and ready to continue the slide show.
I hope that you guys who write the GB-PVR software and MyPictures plugin Please please please will give these errors priority in your brilliant work.
As I have the opportunity to buy the MVP from US for a fraction of the price i´n DK, I just want to briefly ask if the version sold in the US has a 110V PSU or a universal 110-220V PSU?
For the shutdown plugin, I'm wondering how hard it would be to add a scheduled task, like a scheduled reboot.
I know I could do it externally within windows, but Shutdown already seems to know about upcoming recordings so I thought this was a logical place to put it.
I thought I remember (maybe it was just a feature request) that if there were multiple recordings in the sub-directory, and you were playing back with MVP, GBPVR would play the next recording without user interaction.
I have lots of 30 minute recordings that I'd love to just hit play once, and have all of them play back-to-back. WIth auto-comskip now working, in the US, a 30 minute program is really about 17 - 20 minutes, its annoying to have to keep going back to play every 17 minutes.
Also, what about auto-delete once a program has played. I see a screen much like the resume screen, asking "you have viewed this recording in its entirety, would you like to delete?" Then there would be Delete and Keep buttons.
