I have previously reported a problem with the random slide show working with the Beta versions. I noticed something interesting this evening. The official release had been made with a request to close the comments to the beta versions. Some of the info from the beta version report is repeated here.
The way I use my setup. The machine that runs GB-PVR is a family computer used by myself and wife. Mostly on all day, off at night (varies between standby and off). I'm attempting to get proficient enough with GB-PVR, MVP, and networking to replace the Time Warner DVR.
Observation:
MyPictures does not remember the "Show animations while navigating/entering" selection.
When I start GB-PVR via the MVP and and check the setting the "Show animations while navigating/entering" is on (yellow) regardless of how I set and saved it when I last ran GB-PVR (either from desktop interface or MVP). When I turn this feature off and then start the random slideshow everything works as expected. New pic at the specified interval. Spouse and children were very happy at this point. :p If I do not change this setting and leave the "Show animations while navigating/entering" on and run the random slideshow then only the first pic shows. I can change pics by pressing (skip, ff, right arrow) on the MVP remote after the delay interval.
I have DVD's recorded with DVD decryptor. When I play them back through GBPVR, I can only do one "command" either from the keyboard or the remote (jump ahead, FF, rewind, etc) from that point the video still plays but the program no longer responds (can't jump ahead again, stop, anything). I have to use the task manager to stop the program (it is listed as no longer responding). I don't think this was the case in earlier versions (several back, I have had the issue for a while). Anyone else have this problem? solutions? suggestions?
I really like the program, and it works well with shows recorded from TV (350) or from videos that I have made (video cam), just not the dvd's.
Here is the situation: I can't get Zap2It to update my EPG.
Here is my setup:
Windows XP SP2 Freshly Installed
- .NET 1.1 with Service Pack
- Windows firewall disabled
GB-PVR v0.94.13
Created a Zap2it account and also created a current lineup.
If i put in an incorrect username and password and hit Update EPG i get a near instant error telling me my setup is incorrect which means I'm talking to the Zap2it login server.
If i put in my CORRECT username and password and hit Update EPG it says:
Requesting listing information from Zap2it.com
After about a minute it times out with the error "Your EPG source does not appear to be configured correctly"
If i'm able to talk to their server and if my login and password work on their site AND I have a current lineup setup what is the problem?
Thanks in advance!

i just released my pictures 3 after months of beta testing, it should be pretty good/stable now it has many new features, to many to list all (and i forgot most of them), but here are some
- webimages (info based on xml file)
- music panel to show current playing song
- image transistions
- menu transistions
- folder thumbnails (2x2 images similar to xp folder icons)
- settings window (allows you to change key settings from within the plugin)
- supports windows shortcuts to image files
- playlists are now accessible via a popup menu in fullscreen
- remote/key commands can be altered in the keycommands xml files (just like the core plugins of gbpvr)
heres a sample webimage xml file called "mywebimage.xml"
refresh is the number of seconds it will download a new image.
thanks to SmegHead for writing the zooming code (keeping the image centred when you zoom in).
and i suppose thanks to mediaportal and xbmc for ideas ( i stole the zooming map from xbmc and transisitions from mediaportal).
ps if you think that wiki page is insufficient and would like to see more detailed information about the setup/use of my pictures, then write it yourself, i cant be bothered.
Would this be possible to set up recordings from outside of network?? Watching recordings?? Like my ip changes alot so i dont knwo if i could make a zachgbpvr.no-ip.com thing.....Could i just use my ip like 12.*********:7647etc.........I've tried that in network but nope...
Hi there. Whenever i update my EPG there appears to be nothing in the guide. The funny thing is that it seems to update ALOT quicker now after pressing update. is there password issues???
all of the sudden, i'm having problems with sound. Livetv will lose its sound, but everything else works (recorded files,dvds, etc). Usually to fix this, i have to do a regedit and remove the last volume key and then restart all instances of gbpvr, or a restart of windows. this started only recently happening out of the blue. any help?
Okay, I need some help determining if my setup will work out:
I have a PC that I am going to put a PVR-350 in, and use as the gbpvr box. I want to then connect this via the 350's TV-out to the tv, (i should be able to watch TV on the TV like that, right?)
In another room, I plan to hook up a mediamvp to the system and use it to watch tv there.
I would like to have gbpvr only active on the TV-out, and not on the main display of the PC, so that I can still use it for basic internet browsing and word processing.
Okay....I'm having trouble with configuring my system. I am trying to use my external fta receiver as my source with a pvr-350 capture card. Would like someone to explain exactly how to get things up and operational. Here are my questions:
1. Which output from my receiver should I use? Coax or S-Video? I'm
currently using s-video, but what about audio?
2. My recording source is set to "Direct Recording".
3. Under "Settings" for Direct Recording I have specified my pvr-350 card.
4. Country: USA
5. Board Number: Capture Device #1 (I only have the one device)
6. Channel Changer ???? With s-video external tuner I get my fta menu
but no sound or picture.
Not sure where to go from here. I have EPG set up but of course I can't select from it since it's not connected in any way with my receiver. But I would like to understand how this can be done.
First, however, I want to be able to get picture and sound. Any assistance would be sincerely appreciated.
In my EPG, I have a show that is scheduled to start at 8:59pm. I want to record that show and the show the occurs right before it. I have not found a way to resolve the conflict. I could record the first show and set a 60 minute post padding but that is quite a hack. I need a way to set a -1 pre padding.
Some of the info from the beta version report is repeated here.
