Just a feature request : Adding an option to start the default screen saver (blank screen ! )...
It would be nice to be able to start up the plugin, get the music going, then blank off the screen..
.. using a single keyboard shortcut (mappable to a remote button) to toggle between blank screen and normal screen.
btw, I can't turn off the TV - since audio is coming thru the tv speakers..
I hope you guys will consider adding the above feature
Sometimes I have to cancel a recording near the end of that recording and still I want to keep what is recorded so far. As I understand it today all of the recording is lost when cancelling.
Could there be an option to delete or keep "recorded so far"
For quite some time I've been having annoying pauses (at least 10 seconds) each time I stop playback (doesn't matter if it was a divx, mpeg or timeshifted tv that was playing).
Yesterday, I decided to find out what the problem was. After doing all sorts of stuff (making sure gbpvr.mdb gets properly compacted etc) I finally removed one plugin at a time. As soon as I removed MyVideos, the problem went away (it also decreased the time it takes for gbpvr to start significantly).
I tried getting the latest version of MyVideos, but as soon as I installed it the pauses came back. I should probably add that I am only using the basic functionality of the plugin so I don't have any of the third-party tools that you're supposed to download to get things like DVD-creation etc to work.
I've tried to (casually) look at the log files, but at first glance I haven't found anything that indicates a problem. I don't think there is any activity going on during the pauses, so my guess is that the plugin is trying to do something that eventually times out.
I recently upgraded GBPVR and Xrecord after not changning for a couple of months. And I have some questions:
The new Movies button - I cannot fully understand the difference between Movies and Video: I can see that archived recording is shown together with PEG text info under videos.
and also that mpeg files under movies has a poster attached to them.
1) what are the differencies between movie and video? HWne should one use the either?
2) I don't seem to be able to get a picture in the poster of a mpeg under movie even though there is a correspondent picture in /ART - how can I get pictures per MPEG file?
Archiving: as I understand it, archiving moves the MPEG to another directory for example another disk drive - and keeps the info in GBPVR database along with a newlink to the mpeg file. The recording then shows in both recordings (where it is deletable) and in videos (where it is not deletable - since I set so in config):
3) If I want to keep a recording with the EPGtext - and I don't not want my kids to accidentely delete it - can I do this within Record?
I'm using GB-PVR version 0.9211 with an ATI Theater 550 Pro capture card, and configured country as New Zealand (PAL B). Live TV is being recorded and displayed as 720x480, but should be 720x576. As an experiment i tried changing country to Australia but no difference. Any ideas?
Does anyone know how to use c# to call a web site and enable Javascripts to run locally?
I am trying to update the weather plug-in to use the new msnbc format and one think I have noticed is that I can no longer figure how to directly access the weather web page by US zip code. I now have to use area codes even for US cities. I ave been trying to figure out a way to automatically map zip codes to area codes.
In code I have tried to do the same but it does not work.
Code:
// See if this as a new style code or an old style US zip code
Stream stream = null;
if (this.areaCode.Length == 5)
stream = new WebClient().OpenRead("http://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?wealocations=wc:" + this.areaCode);
else
stream = new WebClient().OpenRead("http://weather.msn.com/search.aspx?weasearchstr="+this.areaCode);
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream);
string webPage = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
stream.Close();
The webpage that comes back includes an error message in ot that says âA display error has occurred. To use this feature, you must allow the use of Javascript. To fix this error, try changing your security settings so that the use of Javascript is enabled.â
Gbpvr has been running amazing for almost two weeks. But today when I updated the EPG the listings were offset by one hour. If a show starts at 8:00pm gbpvr's epg shows it starting at 7:00pm. My clock is set to the correct time zone EST. I even removed GBPVR with the add/remove programs lucky I did regedit and found that GBPRV still leaves its-self
in the programs folder. I even created a new account with zap-to-it Which by the way shows the correct listings on it's site.
