Hi there,
I´m currently planning to install the most recent version of GBPVR.
I´m using one tuner card (PVR350) on Win2k SP4.

Now I read several threads here and want to ask for some assistance.

1) Padding ignored if back-to-back
Is it right that if I program 2 recordings and the second one starts at the end time of the first the padding is ignored ?
I.e. pre padding 2 minutes,post padding 3 minutes, recording A on channel 1 from 1:00 to 2:00, recording B on channel 2 from 2:00 to 3:00.
The I assume that rec A on channel 1 starts at 0:58, ends on 2:00, rec B on channel 2 starts an 2:00 and ends 3:03.
Is that right ?

2) Change of default padding
Is it possible to define a "default" padding and change it manually if I program a recording and the default value is not okay for that recording (i.e. I must expect that the show might be longer than given in the EPG) ?

3) Go into hibernate, wake up and programmed recordings.
I plan to send the PVR into hibernate after e.g. 20 minutes of inactivity.
I have a pre-padding of 2 minutes and a post-padding of 3 minutes.
So 20 minutes after a recording the PVR goes into hibernate.
What happens if a recording shall start right in that moment.
I.e. a recording ends at 1:00 (programmed value excluding padding) and the next regording will start at 1:25 (excl. padding). Then the PC will go into hibrernate at 1:23 (1:00 end + 3 minutes post-padding + 20 minutes inactivity), but at that time the next recording should start.
How does GBPVR handle this ?

Regards
Sven

This is not a GBPVR issue, but a question to the other Dutch users that may have the same experience.

Since one or two weeks I have lots of problems with the Dutch TV listings.
I use Amontillado's TVGidsToXML. Programs appear sometimes for 4 consecutive days in stead of one. The correct programs are often also listed, overlapping with the false entries. Also I sometimes have gaps in the TV guide.

The grabber uses TVGids.nl as data source so I am wondering if the problem lies in the Dutch TV Source, the TVGidsToXML program or .....?

When I elect to do season pass recordings the padding and any info such as recording quality is saved. However, when the programming is sent to the "pending" section for scheduling my preferences are being overridden by the default settings. I have reinstalled gbpvr a few times but the problem persists.
Example: I schedule a show for "All recordings" with Hign quality, and 2 post and 3 minutes pre padding.
I can then see that show in pending but the quality setting is now the default of "medium" and the pre and post padding are at 0 minutes.
If I recheck the reocurring listings it shows the correct info.

Ok, i'm new to PVR and i have GBPVR installed and running. i have been trying varioius plugins without a hitch, except... Cdk scheduler and xrecord have been a bear! I have them both loaded and can schedule shows from every point (ie, find fast, xrecord, guide2j); all of them show up in the scheduler after i set up. That is as far as it goes, none show up in pending or recurring-thus no recording of shows.

Now i have been playing around with PriorityRecording.exe and when i manually go in and run that my scheduals show up in pending. Is this how it works?

Could someone guide me on what im missing. I have searched the fourms for hours and found nothing. I have a feeling i need expert programing skills to utilize these plugins.

thanks

This is really cool. If it works with the Xbox Media Center, it could work for us. There are a couple more pics but I couldn't post them due to forum limitations.

Coming Soon: PSPVNC

NHDeath of Team Xos will be releasing soon a VNC client for the PSP aptly dubbed PSPVNC. Based off of the source of palmVNC, you will be able to control your computer via the dpad as the mouse, and a virtual keyboard for text input.




NHDeath comments that the reason he is making this “is to work with my Xbox Dashboard/OS and use the PSP as a controller for the built in emulators and games.”

This program should be released tomorrow with added final touches including icon support and a new host file browser. Here are some more screenshots including a custom home screen:




Also, (very cool) this program will be running over WiFi, so you can be on your computer anywhere in the house with your PSP.

For those of you who do not know what VNC is, VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. You can visit their website for more info or download their free product.

It would be very, very nice if it would be possible to capture DV footage through a plugin and let the hardware mpeg encoder on my wintv-pvr150 convert it to mpeg2.

I am looking for a solution like this because i want to transfer my old video8 tapes to my computer and use my dv camera for streaming it to my computer through firewire. I guess the best way would be to let the hardware mpeg2 encoder on my wintv board do the job (if that is at all possible).

I don't think my programming skills will be sufficient to achieve something like this, but you can all count on my help if needed.

Is it still the case that the MVP has to be connected to the same switch as its server?

I initially played with the idea of having an HTPC box in the lounge feeding the MVP so I currently have a switch in there, connected to the router on the rest of my network. The HTPC box was never quiet enough or powerful enough to do the job properly (M10000 based) so I now plan on running GBPVR on my server but the trouble is that the network connection would be Server > router > lounge switch > MVP and I seem to recall that it's not possible to do it that way?

If this is still so, is there any chance of making it possible, Sub? It's a rather frustrating limitation.

So I'm about to set up the web scheduling so I can do it from work or any where. I have all critical security patches installed on the computer. Do I need to be concerned with using port forwarding to that computer? Am I putting the computer at unnecessary risk of being hacked?
Is it better to log in to the router and set up the port forwarding right before needing access and then turning off the port forwarding afterward? Or is this being overly cautious?

I've got a Hauppauge 34-button remote, all set up nicely, working just fine.
There are 2 things I can't seem to do from it:
1. Control aspect ratio (I had to go press F7 instead).
2. Do a fast-rewind with the |<< button.

Any suggestions what I am missing? Pointer to documentation with RTFM would do nicely too. Thanks.

*Config now can set movie paths (Ron22)
*interface for phone input, escape as back, disable menu selection and mixed mode default have been moved
from the skin.xml into the config under settings (Ron22)
*Movies menu, if empty, now displays "You have no movies"
*Fixed bug when re-entering XRecord from main menu the last times menu is highlighted but the ready list is always shown.
*Made Play all more robust
*Disabled the green button on watched. It does not make sense since I do not keep track of all of that info.
