I've got a WinTV PVR 350 and used to use it with a Media MVP for timeshifting TV. I've since replaced the MVP with a LiteOn LVD 2010 and am wondering if I can still timeshift using this combination?
according to this review of the new ipod video: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/article...ith-video/
the ipod video can only play video of mpeg-4 and the new H.264.
Will the mpg files that gbpvr records play back on the ipod video?
If not, can anything be done as far as changing the recording format or auto conversion to make video compatible for the ipod video?
Apple already has released a way to buy music videos and various tv-shows (Deperate Housewives, Lost, etc.) via their iTunes music store, but what's even better is that they've made it completely open for you to transfer your own video to the ipod.
I think it would be awesome if you could "sync" your video ipod with your gbpvr recorded shows, and that way have your own recorded content with you on-the-go.
So basically my with is:
1. A change in the UI, so you could "tick off" the shows/recordings you wanted to export to your ipod (this could probably easily be made to work with the PSP as well, since the PSP uses the same codec as the video ipod)
2. A way to run a script after the show has been recorded (and possibly edited for commercial skipping), that kicks off the export of the recorded show.
3. An easy way to import the video to the ipod. The easiest way I see it, is via a podcast with a video attachment (GBPVR already has a built-in webserver, so that could probably be implemented semi-easily).
This could also open up for across-the-internet syncing of shows.
I know that the framework for GBPVR is based on Windows' media layer, but what I'm asking for is not native support for quicktime, but merely some way for example to facilitate easy export to other formats.
Most of the "Quicktime stuff" could probably be handed via a script that calls the relevant quicktime functions, so basically the most important stuff to have integrated would be the framework for it all to work together seamlessly (Meaning, you press record, tick of a box "export to ipod/psp", and everything is automatically done for you).
I'm looking to buy an IR 'blaster' to allow GBPVR to change channels on my Telewest box. I think at about £80 RedRat is rather too expensive. USB UIRT at about £43 looks like a better bet, but I wonder if anyone can answer a couple of questions I have about it:
1. Do I need to buy Girder to get it to work with GBPVR?
2. What's the range like? I think I'd need about 5 metres to allow it to transmit across the room to the set top box.
I'm using Time Warner and a PVR 150 and can't get past the Config Screen. I know it's a simple problem -- probably -- but I keep getting the error message:
"Couldn't get process information for remote machine."
I just don't know what to select on each of the config screens. I can get all the channels when I do that setup part, it finds them all and they're all nice and clear ...

Been working on new skin for a while and have couple of wishes (one of which I think was already requested - so this is just to make sure):
1. Allow buttons to move horizontally.
2. Allow SubMenus to have their own task image.
I have a problem with recordings that show the incorrect time on the OSD. For example, I recorded "Lost" last night and the recording showed 15:35 when I played it back. When I play the file in Zoomplayer it also shows the total time as 15:35. The files will play fine in GB-PVR (and ZP), but I can no longer FF after the counter reaches 15:35.
I am using the current release (0.94.13) and the Xrecord and My Videos plugins.
msnbc do not have "Current Information" for my city location, everything else works just fine.
I want to remove the "Current" button from my skin configuration.
I found in skin.xml:
<Button name="Current" loc="30,95"/>
but after removing it the Weather plugin stops working.
The weather plugin used to work OK, but now it can't seem to find the icons for the weather - see attached. I have it set for Hong Kong, but it seems to be for other countries too
