The addition of the VideoPlugin1-9 functionality in 93.10 is arguably the coolest thing Sub has done this year.
However, now that I (I'm a plugin) can be shown over a playing video (like an OSD), or from a menu, how would I know that I'm a menu or an OSD when gbPVR shows me?
Still kind of new to the plugin development, I'm wondering if one of you all would know.
I had made a Outlook Plugin in the past that was not that successful. I am considering another wack at it however I need to learn from my mistakes.
What would people like to see? Will people use it? I figure one of the things that caused problems was outlook. This is what I am thinking.
It would be nice to have a contact/calendar plugin. Having its own database (a lesson learned). I can always write a hook to import from outlook.
Maybe layed out like xrecord.
Contacts
Appointments
Schedule Appt
On the right.
You can create reoccuring appointments (weekly, monthly, yearly) or one shot recordings.
When a appt is fired it will appear in the Appointments category. If it is over so many days old it will be automatically dismissed. Otherwise the user can dismiss it.
You will be able to create appointments and contacts in the app itself.
A Panel will be created to show the upcomming appointments (birthdays and anniversarys) on the main screen.
2 command line apps will be built. One will import from outlook the other will determine what appt have been expired and which ones are now pending.
On the PC, when you hit <esc> you leave GBPOVR, that's fine no problem, no drama.
But viewing GBPVR on the MPV, hitting the back button just one too many times (which is easy to do, as the MPV is slower to react) exits the GBPVR screen, and the MPV Connecting to Servers Creen comes up. There are no errors on the PC and it reconnects fairly quickly, but in the previous version AFAIR it didn't seem to do this.
I have the EXIT Plugin unchecked, but it still does it. It's a bit exasperating waiting for it to re-connect every time, esp if you are watching liveTV.
Is this by design or a glitch on my behalf? If it is by design, is there way to force it NOT to go back that extra step?
I have a small request to make with regards to the Videos plugin that comes with VA. Specifically, the name of the Videos folder. The name is a misrepresentation of what the Videos menu truly is, a complete replacement for the built-in Recordings menu. The fact that I use the My Videos plug-in just compounds the problem. My wife has no idea which menu to use (Recordings, Videos, My Videos). It really confuses the hell out of her. :confused: Would it be possible to rename the Videos folder to My TV, TV Recordings or some other clever moniker that better reflects what the menu actually does?
Could someone with administrative access to the new wiki copy over the tutorial I wrote on the second post of this thread? I'd really like to make sure that this information is preserved since configuring HDTV devices is somewhat manual and sub has a tendency to prune the older threads in these forums. TIA!
I can't seem to get the DVB EPG working. I'm using a Nova-t PCI and HVR-1300 (but only the Nova is currently set up in GB-PVR). Channels were found (using scantype 2 - scantype 1 gives me an error) but I don't seem to get any EPG data, even after selecting Update EPG. Is there anything that needs setting up?
Is a specific version of psisdecd.dll required? (I'm using MCE2005 whereas most people probably have XP SP2 with KB896626)
