Well if you have noticed there are a host of new movies out that you obviously own and want to backup or make into MPEG for MVP usage. I can tell you at least Hitch, Lords of Dogtown and Batman Begins have new copy protection on them. The latest DVDDecrypter, setup properly, will backup and convert Hitch just fine. But then comes the next two, nothing works... or at least nothing that seems to be used by the majority of us........ until now...

I found a cool, free program that has command line options, it looks like it will work, I have not fully tested it yet.. But I intend to.. Once I do, I will post information here... If you are interested in doing it yourself, b/c I'm just slow about getting things done, get DVDFabDecrypter from http://www.dvdidle.com.

Of course I must say, only BACKUP or DVD2MPEG DVDs you own.. Don't steal movies.

I live on the east coast in USA and have GBPVR setup to update EPG's from zap2it at 3AM everyday. It seems like since I upgraded to v0.94.13 it hasn't been auto-updating properly. I have to manually open the config app and update the EPG. This is an XP Pro box which is set to never go to sleep. Is there a log somewhere that I can check to see if the update is working properly? I went to zap2it and checked to make sure my account hadn't expired (had this happen once) and it was showing that it is still good until 12/16/2005.

Just as a minor change to usabiity, could we allow a user to skip a day in the tv guide? For example, if looking at the listings for Tuesday at 9:00pm, a use could hit vol up/down to skip to Wed/9:00pm or Mon/9:00pm rather than having to page through 24 hours of scheduling.

Can we have an Always on Top setting for windowed view. So that I can do some other stuff like surfing without GB-PVR window going under all the other windows.

There is a free alternative for Videoredo and Womble MPEG-VCR.
Its called mpeg2cut2.
It is a GOB cutter so don't expect frame accurate edits but it is supposed to have a very robust MPEG decoder allowing also the cutting of DVB-T recordings.

It features a new cutlist format that is currently not generated by comskip or SA.
But I may consider adding it to Comskip (if I understand the format, a lot of redundant info in there)

I am not sure if mpeg2cut2 fixes the PTS at the cutpoint so there is not jump in the timeline at the cut point causing some mpeg players to crash or otherwise fail.

google for mpeg2cut2, the first entry.

With the new release of XRecord I get

Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

When I try to delete an item that did not record properly (but is in the watched list).

Can any tell me how to adjust the RRSReader's font size. I would like to double it.

If at all possable, I would like a solution that doesn't involve a new skin as I have no had much luck in the past with skins.

Hi Reven

I've just recently got this error when running your script. It's a windows o/s error. I've got a screen capture.

Hi

is there any way of stopping GBPVR from honoring a remote command??

I've found that the power button on my TV is the F6 - radio command on my Hauppauge remote. So is there any way of turning off the radio command.

Also as another question, i have a USB Uirt receiver, can i use this with GBPVR and do i need any external software.

In Comskip 0.77 build 65 I added a parameter to ignore a certain amount of pixels at the bottom of the screen.
This is useful if you have a ticker tape or fixed logo at the bottom of the screen and still want to be able to detect black frames.
The default is:
ticker_tape=0
the value is the amount of pixels from the bottom of the screen to ignore

Like all versions it can be downloaded from http://mk.kaashoek.com/gbpvr/
