Hello,

First of all GBPVR is a great application. I used to use MyHTPC but after a rebuild of my HTPC (new case, HD and O.S.) I decided to switch to GBPVR and I don't regret it. It much more faster and easier to install :o . The only drawback is its fixed resolution.

I'm currently using the PLATINUM skin and after installing MyPictures plugin I noticed that all screen resolutions are 720 by 480. So all my pictures are shown in 720 by 480.... As my HTPC is connected via VGA to my 32 inch LCD TV, which has a native resolution of 1280 by 768, I have configured my HTPC windows screen also to 1280 by 768. This means that my pictures are first scaled down to 720 by 480 and then by windows scaled up to 1280 by 768. :mad:
Now I know that it is possible to develop your own skins using an higher resolution or modify existing ones but this takes a lot of work. In order to have a different skin per resolution it might be possible to make the skins resolution independent and let GBPVR program itself calculate the ideal resolution (based on windows settings). Placing of objects in a skin could be done using relative coordinates. Also the sizing of the fonts could be relative in relation to the screen resolution in order to prevent that the text becomes to small to read.

An other point is the aspect ratio. It would be handy to define the aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3 or 5:4 for some LCD computer screens) of the used screen in the Config app so all the plugins could make use of it...

Regards

Not sure if this is possible but it would be nice to be able to display weather info during the playback of a file (similar to the mini-guide currently viewable during playback). Maybe just the temp, humidity and wind.

Along the same lines, I'm wondering if it would be possible to have a pluggin that displays something on the screen duing playback when, for example, a severe thunderstorm watch, tornado watch, etc is issued for the viewers area (by zip-code perhaps). I'm not sure where the info could be pulled from (NOAA ?) or what would be involved in getting the alerts to show during playback but I throw it out there as a possibility. Obviously this would be geared to those of us living in houses without windows

I've been getting EPG info from Zap2It for GBPVR for the last year or so without any problems. Within the last couple of weeks I've noticed the nightly EPG update is only successful about once a week. When I do a manual update through Config I have to try 4 or 5 times to get it to work. I get the "your EPG source does not appear to be configured correctly...".

The relavant section of the config log appears to be

I reinstalled GBPVR and emptied the EPG but the problem remains. My subscription is current. I'm assuming this is not a problem with GBPVR but I wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone has any thoughts. Thanks

I am working on a new plug-in that schedules recordings and I have some questions. The first is, when calling the ScheduleRecording funciton one the parameters that is passed is the recording group. I am wondering what this is and how I select the approraite value to pass for this.

The other thing I don't understand is how I check for and resolve conflicts when scheduling things.

Any tips or code code samples would be welcome.

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to setup some channels for my DVB-S card (Twinham Sat CI), when I press the "Map Digitally channels to EPG channels " I receive the following message box:-

"The Microsoft MEPG-2 Demultiplexer does not seem to be available on your machine. Don't ignore this error, DBA support will not work with out it."

Can you help as I have been unable to get the programme to work with my card.

Many thanks,

David

Hey all,

I have an Ausus TV FM Card - 7135. Here are the specs from their website:

Video/Audio Decoder Philips 7135
TV Tuner Philips NTSC or PAL

I don't see Asus or Philips in the Capture Card list. Is there another card I can select that will work?

Thanks.

Darren

Hi everyone.
I bought a AverMedia 150 MCE a few days ago and it works just great with GBPVR. I'm very impressed by the software. I've installed it on an old PC, with a 800 Mhz CPU and it works fine.
I just want to record things and program them with the nice TV-Guide interface.

Now my question:
I have an old Epia 600 with 600 Mhz CPU. I also have a passive Power Unit for it, so it would be amazingly quiet.

Will GBpvr work on this slow PC? I don't need any timeshifting or Live-Tv stuff and my X-Box plays the recordings in a nice quality.

Greetings,
nimod

After struggling with IR blasting and Bleb, thanks to help on this forum I have now switched to using XMLTV Radio Times.
I have customised the Radio Times channel numbers to match the Sky Digi-guide channel numbers using the XMLTV config files. This all works spot on, all the channels are correctly read from the XML file into GBPVR. All channels are correctly listed in GBPVR config and they all have the correct channel ID listed for Sky Digibox IR blasting.
The problem is that some of the channels listed in the GBPVR config are not displayed in the EPG :eek:
I have tried emptying and updating the EPG, I have also recreated the capture source deleting and re-populating the channel list. the same channels are still missing.

Today, I woke the pc up from hibernate mode, and the screen that came up was a big red x on white background. It was supposed to come to the main screen of gbpvr... anyone have any idea?
