I created a custom task which set up a new button in the main viewer. Is it possible to display corresponding artwork when the button is highlighted. Such as when selecting the TV Guide, an image is diplayed. How is this done with custom tasks? I've tried to create a directory with the same name as the button but that had no effect. I pretty much use the standard skin.xml found in the main menu, only changing some locations of things.

Any help is appreciated.

i was hoping that jeff could adapt his current panel to allow for any plugin to easily send notifications to the user, these notifications would all follow the same pattern, ie all have
- a title
- a message
- an image (a default image if not specified)

and since all these notifications would be extremely similar it would be best if they looked exactly the same, and appeared in the same place, and only appeared one at a time. jeff has pretty much done this, but i think it needs to be modified a little, so i was hoping that us developers could discuss what we would need out of this Uber Panel. well we should really have 2 panels, one for notifications and one for looping annoucements (eg weather). The basic idea i think for messages is to be similar to a windows popup message, have categories like: alert/warning, information, err whatever else they've got, so either different signatures for different types, or just a extra parameters specify the message type. so what do you guys think? and more importantly, jeff you cool with this?

the only panel i would really want that is seperate (well that exists at the moment) would be the music panel (i like that to be displayed all the time when music is playing back).

Not sure if someone has suggested this but if anyone has used tivo before one thing it has is the ability to turn off the recording if you try to change the channel, so far in gbpvr i have seen it ask me if i want to watch the recording in progress or not watch tv at all. I think there should be an option to stop the recording, unless there is an easy way to do it that iam overlooking...

Ok I am having trouble getting the webadmin to work. I go to the web address localhost:8080/gbprv/index.aspx (changed port to 8080 in config). All I get is cannot find server error page. I have also tryed to get it to work by installing IIS and directing the home to the /web folder. This didn't work eather. Any Ideas.

I am having problems with ComSkip. It is crashing after I upgraded to 0.71. I have attached a screenshot with the crash information. Hopefully someone can shine some insight on this.

Thanks, Drew

Anyone tried using DirectX as the renderer for a plugin ? I've got it working but it's slow - needs a readback from the rendertarget buffer and slow conversion to a bitmap for the return from 'render'...

Hi; I am in the planning stages of building a new Win XP PC (w/PVR functionality). Will these componets make an okay GB-PVR machine?

Fudin Scorpio Case w/6 80mm fans Fry's $65
EVGA GeForce 256 FX5500 Video Card (or should I stick w/5200 or 6200?) NewEgg $59
MSI K7N2 Socket A Mobo (versus the socket 939) NewEgg $65
AMD Athlon 2800+ Barton 333MHz FSB CPU (w/fan and heatsink) @ 2.083 GHz NewEgg $100
Two (2) Maxtor 200GB UATA HD Fry's $70 each
Two (2) PVR-150 Cards pcAlchemy $90 each
1 GB Kingston (2x512) Fry's $100
Generic DVD-Rom Fry's $20
Memorex Dual Format / Double Layer DVD Burner Fry's $90 before $30 rebate

overkill? underkill? It came up to $800. I'm thinking about building the Win XP machine in two steps 1) Just the XP box w/one HD and no 150 cards and then adding those later. Initial outlay o'cash would be $530 or so. Could be cheaper but I don't have any spare parts (such as cases, drives and such) lying around.

Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

I have 2 Hauppauge Nova-t (90002) DVB cards. Latest drivers now support having 2 cards on 1 PC. I was wondering does gbpvr support having more than one TV card? More importantly will it allow me to watch one channel & record on another or record off both? at the same time?

Hi

Ive only just decided to start using the My Music plugin to rip CD's from within GB-PVR. I already had DBPowerAmp installed, but followed the rest of the instructions in the WiKi. Ive configured the plugin in the config app but when running My Music it flashes breifly (1-2 sec) to the 'video now playing...' black screen as if playing video through my PVR-350 and displays the error message above.

Any ideas?? The suspect part of thwe log file is as follows:

Hi

I am having a problem with the OSD in Liveview. I get the overlay, but no Picture (Black Screen). I have a LifeView TV Walker mini (USB 2.0) Version. I get a (poor quality) picture using the native Software it came with (TV Walker), with all channels.

I have updted quatz.dll from DirectX 9b and updated to the most recent MPEG2 driver for PowerDVD 5. No joy.

Can anyon ehelp with this log below?

Thanks & rgds
