I listen to a lot of music through gb-pvr, and sometimes i just run a slideshow of my pics, just to keep things off the menus. What about a cool screen saver that could run and make my tv look cool when i'm listening to music

I've made a small driver for this device which delivers a Transaction stream, mainly intended to record DVB-T programms directly to the harddisk.
As this driver is not BDA compliant I'm interested to know if there is any kind of interface (tuning data out, TS stream in) present in GBPVR so that i can use this device with GBPVR.
Whenever I try to update-EPG by right-clicking the tray icon, the update process crashes.
This happens when the EPG is updated automatically too.
Details:
Up until yesterday, everything worked fine for me. I've completed setting up my system, with just about everything I wanted working perfectly.
Here's the place to say thanks for this wonderful software. I've tried MediaPortal, BeyondTV, SageTV and even Linux MythTV. None worked as well as GB-PVR. Thanks!
Anyhow, when I say all was well, this includes EPG updates.
Yesterday I ran my first test of setting the system to standby after 20 minutes of inactivity, in order to see if it properly wakes up to update EPG and record shows.
I configured 2 shows to record, and EPG update at 6:00AM. My XMLTV Grabbager (TVxb) woke up the machine at 4:00AM to download shows, and the output file time and date were correct - this morning at 4:43AM it finished running.
To verify that EPG update went OK, I viewed the XMLTV output file, and found out the last show for some channel. It was for June-17th, at 23:30.
I went into GB-PVR's guide, and searched that channel to the end. It ended at 23:30 on June-16th!
At this point I tried manually updating EPG, and it crashed (png image attached).
I tried again, and again, and it's the same. I then realized that I had chaged my TVxb.ini file yesterday, and thus went ahead and commented out all the changes (they were related to adding full descriptions and some substitution).
I ran the grabber again, and tried to import the new file, but it crashed again.
Since i don't get any pictures in livetv (although epg channelsettings imported ok) i ran the tunning asssitant.
But every time i try to use it it gives a 'connecttopin failed' error and after that a: failed to connect pinnamecrossbarvideodecoderout to pinnameanalogvideoin error. After that it starts to scan the channels, but with no succes at all!
Does anyone know the problem and has somehow a solution?
Everybody talks great about GBPVR but i can't get it to work! That really bugs me!
btw: i've a hauppauge pvr 150 with the latest drivers and the latest version of GBPVR.
I have enabled web scheduling option in GBPVR, and it works really fine, but I can't find how to schedule a manual recording (like in GBPVR from the PC in where GBPVR is installed).
It's important for me, because I can tune to various channels not included in the EPG's of my Country, Spain, and it would be nice to manage recordings without have to have an EPG of it.
Thanks a lot for your answers and sorry for my bad english.
When I schedule a new manual recording, I'm able to change the name prefix of the recording, according to my needs of archiving, and so on.
When I schedule a recording from the Tv Guide, the name prefix is always the name of the show...
I would like to select the name prefix of the recording, because of the way I use to name the recordings, but I don't know if it is possible, can somebody help me?
Thanks a lot for yours answers. Sorry for my bad english.
I read a post about enabling 'encoder pass-through' option and using the dscaler5 filter but cannot seem to find a place to enable this filter? Is it the decoders drop down menus? I see a dscaler5 decoder listed. thx
This is the first release of comclean, it can be downloaded here
It is a utility to be used inside your postprocessing.bat to automatically delete the commercial segments found by comskip.
The cutter used (mpgtx) is very fast and very small and it runs with a low CPU load
The only limitation is that cutting is done at GOP boundaries (accuracy about 1 second)
Please read the readme.txt inside the zip file for more details.
Have fun!
Just did a first time setup with latest maint release.
Using a Nova-t 909 and xmltv
When I hit Map digital button, I get a dialog box for my config directory
Dialog box freezes and never releases (rebooted, killed it, etc).
1. Is there a way of providing that manually in the xml file and avoiding the dialog box?
2. What is it?
