Won't work! As I enter to timeshift mode, it just blanks the screen, sound keeps coming. The recording file will have correct audio and video, so actually recording is working. When trying to exit this blank screen with BACK or MENU, it won't work, also Taskmanager shows that GBPVR isn't responding and suggests end task. After killing task, recording service will continue to record this "Live TV". Restarting GBPVR won't open Live TV nor it doesn't start to record any new scheduled recordings, as source is still being in use. Only manual restart to service fixes this.
In versions .23 and 0.90 and 0.91, when using direct hauppauge remote support, VOLUP button does actually VOLDOWN, so there will be no difference which I press, result is the same - vol_down. Although Left and Right works ok (to decrease and increase volume). Also there is nothing wrong with remote itself, as Hauppauge irremote with Notepad DEBUG.TXT gives the correct control codes of buttons. So, there must be a little bug inside the GBPVR code.
I've downloaded a documentation file of the CommonGBPVRUtilities library on the Wiki site. It looks like this library contains some useful classes. I've managed to find the actual CommonGBPVRUtilities.DLL in the VideoLibrary plugin and I'm thinking of using it in my Plugin development.
However I doe have some questions on it's usage:
* is it actually meant to be a shared resource?
* how is it to be distributed? If it is is shared by many plugins it might be a part of the basic GBPVR distribution, in the mean time a seperate listing on the Wiki site might be useful.
* is it officially maintained, i.e. who is responsible for bug fixes (if needed) and enhancements?
If it is supposed to be a true shared resource (which I'm hoping for) it would be nice to have the sources somewhere in a CVS and to have the binary DLL in the official GBPVR distribution.
I have Northwood Celeron 2,4GHz (to reduce less heat and noise) inside my PVR, so there is not much CPU power left during playbacks. When using FFWD it doesn't achieve more than approx x2 (but in 0.91 should have x2, x4, x8?). So, with x2 the playback is still smooth, but CPU can't handle x4. So, my suggestion to sub that if it detects less CPU power than needed for smooth ffwd, just use frame skipping multiples.
If watching Live TV and exiting using BACK/EXIT, it closes the whole GBPVR and drops me to explorer. If exiting using MENU, it closes Live TV and goes correctly back to the main menu.
It would be nice if future releases also includes Estonia in country selection. All settings are the same as Finland, except the country code (Est - 372).
In Search Guide there is no option to see shows which begin with non en_US characters. For example we use in Estonia some kind of mixed alphabet from with national language letters: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSŠŽTUVWXYZÃÃÃÃ. It would be extremely nice if next realase of GBPVR would recognize if there are some shows in guide which doesn't begin with regular latin letter, it lists also these shows. For example I can't find Estonian local popular talk-show "Ãrapanija" from nowhere inside guide search. Although in guide browse there it lists. I guess there is the same issue with sweds, finns, etc.
Was in v0.90 and still in 0.91, if I watch recording and press << button, it doesn't start to rewind, but keeps on playing but without sound. Skip backwards works ok, but not rew.
Before posting issues with new version, I'd like to thank sub for such a good job! There isn't a lot of time passed since last one and still sub found his time to release the new one! Nice! Great! There has been fixed lot of issues I had with 0.90. With this fix I have teletext working with all the Livt TV channels and no channel freezes any more! Also aspect ratio change is nice feature! (should find the button on remote for that) and DVD player doesn't have any more some kind of multicolor stripes. Once more, great job, sub!
