Hi, Could someone please explain in detail how to include a Jpg Icon for the media files or Video files i have. I would like to use Pictures to show what Video files i have rather than Text. I read that you have to import the file into the file with the video and change the name to default.jpg. I did that and it still will not show the Jpg file. THanks

Will GBPVR ever run on linux?

Thanks,


Dave

Hello, I tried recording with GB-PVR and seem to have white dots and a line at the top. I have the Plextor PVR-TV402U. I know the line is closed captioning codes and I am wondering how I can crop it out. I was able to eliminate this from the live TV mode using FFDshow and the crop feature, but FFDshow doesn't work when recording TV. I love the software and it would be even better if I could get this fixed. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

I have been making some custom mods to the MountainLake skin and have everything done except ....

The verbiage for the status (selection description). I want to change things like the description for Recordings says "View programmes you have recorded. Browse or remove future scheduled recprdings" ... Where do i cahnge this? I think it is in the main program somewhere, not the skins.

The other thing I want to chage is the color of the time indicator arrows on the TV Guide. The little arrow indicators that show approximate current time on the grid. Where can i edit the settings for these?


Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I noticed that the list of channels on the Channels Tab is not updated when a capture source and its associated channels are deleted from the config. Is this done on purpose or merely an oversight?

As I mentioned a few weeks back, comcast completely reorganized my cable channel lineup. Once Zap2it made the changes to their lineup info I proceeded to adjust my PVR as well. First, I tried to simply dump the EPG and redownload it. No dice. Many of the channels were completely missing. Next, I deleted and recreated the hauppauge capture device. Still no dice. I tried that several more times unsuccesfully so I succumed to a GB-PVR reinstall. I dumped 94.12, rebooted, deleted the contents of the devnz folder, and then installed and configured 94.13. To my surprised, the TV guide is still screwed up. The same channels are still missing. What gives?

Great tool. I'm surprised at how much better it runs then commercial software I tried.

One feature request: In the Search Guide, when you select a letter and hit right it doesn't update the letter (so if I am looking at "A" and then go to "C" I won't get the shows starting with "C" unless I hit enter). A similar thing happens when looking at different shows. I use a hauppage remote so it can be confusing.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to request a feature for the weather plug in but it would really be nice to be able to see degrees C instead of degrees F.

The images on the images section of the website shows scanning for FM stations but when I go into radio, I don't have such an option (?)

A last feature request -- and a minor one -- is context sensitive help on the control app. There are a lot of options there and searching forums etc. makes it harder to use -- but very powerful.

The tip I read about how to put your sound card out to your hauppage line-in to listen to music/radio on the tv on the forums would be a good addition to the wiki as I'm sure there are people like me who want to do everything through the TV. In fact, a way to run the app without having a window appear onscreen (when one person is using GB-PVR and another is using the computer) would be neat too.

I don't want to come across like I'm blasting the product, I think it's great -- just wanted to share the above ideas/requests. -- Thanks

Other Sundry Items:

One item I have not been able to get working is closed captioning. When outputting live tv or played-back tv there doesn't seem to be closed captioning streams (when I tell my tv to decode them) on programs I know have closed captioning. I don't think this is a GB-PVR thing -- it's most likely a Hauppage Win-TV 350 thing but I was wondering if anybody's seen it.

Does anybody know of a plug-in to display and/or re-map the hauppage remotes. I think the GB-PVR defaults are quite good but I don't want to miss any features/mappings and it would be nice to be able to add shortcuts, etc.

Hi Sub,

Great program!

Would it be possible to allow the Skin.xml file to define the background color for the guide and the fill and border colors for the buttons in the popup description box?

Thanks,
David

When watching live TV, GB-PVR resets my video overlay adjustments to zero in the ATI Catalyst Control Center. No other application resets these adjustments--UNLESS it is playing back an MPEG-2 captured with GB-PVR! In that case my video overlay adjustments are reset just as they are when watching live TV. Changing the media player makes no difference, and all other MPEG-2 playback is fine! How do I stop my video overlay adjustments from being reset? (Changing to VMR7 or VMR9 makes no difference in this case.)

Can a redirect be added so that if I go to http://localhost:7647 or http://localhost:7647/gbpvr, that it will redirect to http://localhost:7647/gbpvr/index.aspx.

Thanks,
