whats new (well from the alpha)
- "Save Image", you can now save webimages to a specified dir.
- "Navigational Transistions" - similar to mediaportal (just look and see, you can turn this off in the "settings" feature)
- animated gifs
- zooming works perfect (thanks to smeghead) and theres a little navigational graphic in the corner (similar to xbmc) (yes i rip things off.....)
- music track info in fullscreen mode, display the current music track (if onscreen display is turned on, or when a track changes (for about ten seconds)).
- KeyMappings is used to specify the keys used in my pictures.
- Popup menu in "Fullscreen" mode, (where you can find the "save image" feature)
- "music" added to popup menu, which listed every .m3u playlist in a specified directory, also if a .jpg/png/gif file with the same name is found that will be displayed
- rewrote the entire thing
whats not done
- the skin needs to be tweaked, especially the onscreen display stuff (the fullscreen stuff).
- i think thats it
im pretty sure this version is pretty good, and shouldnt have to many bugs in it (hopefully ive included all the files you need, if upgrading from 2.1 or 3.0 alpha).
if anyone wants to tweak the blue skin for me that would be great, i hate doing skin stuff.
WARNING: you may need my music for this to work (maybe), you will definitly need the MyDatabase.mdb file, the mypictures.mdb file will no longer work (it looks up track information, thus needing the music tables).
also any newbies shouldnt try this straight away, give it a week, chances are there bugs. (theres one i know of, but its a really small one that will hardly be noticed (like maybe twice in your lifetime)).
so yeah enjoy.
oh ps chances are nothing will be changed in the skin, well anywhere, just bug testing now, so if you want to update your skins go ahead.
i just got a pvr500. i had some major issues with installing the drivers... found that uninstalling zonealarm, installing drivers, then re-installing zonealarm worked. i got the card working great. my only problem is that when i record a show and try to play it back through media player (default player when double clicked through explorer) there is no sound. but if i take the same file, burn it to disc, it plays fine on my dvd player... any ideas?
sub if you go to the tv guide, and say channels 1-7 are showing and you push "8" and then "ok" you are taken to channel 8 but still only channels 1-7 are shown, this is constant with any channels eg if you are on 31-37 and push 38 and ok, channels 31-37 are still the visible set.
My TV has a built in programming guide and it has one feature I miss within gbpvr's guide. You can toggle the guide so that it shows all upcoming shows on the current highlighted channel, changing it from being time-centric (showing all programs that start at a particular time) to being channel-centric (showing all programs coming up on a particular channel). So for instance, I can be looking at all the shows starting at 8 pm, highlight a channel, click the info button on my remote and see all programs on that specific channel for the next day or so.
I'd love to see this in gbpvr's standard guide and the Web Admin guide. I like to record a lot of classics off Turner Classic Movies since many of the movies are hard to find and all commercial free, so I frequently check it to see what's coming up for a particular day. In the current guide that's not so easy since you have to scroll, scroll, scroll...
Feature Request #2
One feature that titantv.com's guide has that I love is the ability to see all upcoming airings of the highlighted program. So for instance, when you go to schedule a recording only to be told you have a conflict, you can quickly see the upcoming re-airings of the highlighted program and decide whether you want to schedule a later airing to be recorded. It's also nice if you realize you missed a show (or the start of it when you're looking in the guide and go, "Oh crap! I forgot to record that!").
I need help in doing this. i'm at a loss. VideoLan doesn't work for me to watch a program on-line. Any other programs let me do this? I just need a dummy's guide to watch recordings online!
has anyone worked with this combo or familiar with the wavit? It's basically a multi function device which i have used as a wireless bridge with my audrey so i know it works. Here's what i have tried:
connected mvp to router and picked up an ip
configured wavit as wireless bridge with same ip that mvp picked up
added both mac's to ap mac table
not working. is there anything special i need to do to the mvp?
