I would like to manually set my machine to standby-mode. Probably the shutdown plugin is the most suitable place for this functionality.

Okay,

I must be still missing something from my setup. I've now got recording working (using a Hauppauge PVR150) but when I play back any recorded video, I get audio, but the video is just a solid green screen, no picture. My HTPC box has an onboard Matrox MGA200 vidcard. I've tried using VMR9 and VMR7 for playback and it doesn't change. If I set to Overlay, I get a black screen and no sound. Also, if I change the MPEG2 decoder from System Default to the only other one available (InterVideo NonCSS) I'll get the first frame of video, with no audio, and no video after that (if I resize the window at any time at that point, it goes black). Anyone have an idea of what I could be doing wrong and how to fix it?

Note: I just found out if I switch to my Sigma Designs XCard for hardware MPEG2 playback, video/audio playback works, but since I'm playing back through VGA output currently, the frontend screens aren't sized correctly, and the moment I exit GBPVR (something I've mentioned in another thread) it terminates with a black screen and doesn't dump me to the Windows desktop like it should. I figured I'd post this as additional troubleshooting info to see if it would help shed any light.

i was just wondering what plugins people want to see.

my wishlist
- voice over ip chat
- video over ip chat
- irc chat
- some kind of streaming video (gbpvr can currently play a streaming file, but it needs to download the entire file first).
- settings (in progress)
- auto update (in progress, probably going to be combined into settings).
- P2P (talks going on).
- a good email plugin (with basic send/recieve, doesnt need to render html, just display plain text, with onscreen keyboard).

i think it'd be really cool if you could watch liveTV with picture-in-picture (PIP) or picture-out-of-picture (POP). i dont have multiple tuner cards in my box now, so, i suppose this already exists, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't. it'd be really cool, i think. probably down the road, if/when it happens...just throwing it out there.

pov.

As the topic says, has anyone used #Develop to write their plugin? I'd really like to see the project if possible. Either C# or VB.NET would be great.

I'm a competent programmer, but I've yet to write a GB-PVR plugin. I'm getting started and doing it in #Develop, and I'd just like to see if I'm going in the right direction.

Thanks!

I recently attempted converting from using SageTV to GBPVR and I have to say that I am quite impressed with GBPVR, especially its MediaMVP functionality.  I have some issues though and I was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on them.

First, do these things just not generate good vertical sync signals when displaying menus?  Even running the MediaMVP service from Hauppauge, they didn't do all that great.  It seems worse in GBPVR, but maybe thats just because the screens look a thousand times better.  I don't have any display problems with recorded video.

Second, the remote function does not seem to work correctly.  Specifically, the replay and skip functions.  Skip seems to take me halfway into the current video and replay, goes further forward.  Is there some file I need to modify to indicate the type of remote I have?  I have the old remote as I've seen some information about a newer remote out there.

If I can get these issues resolved, I'd buy MVP's for every TV in my house!

Instead of saying only record shows I have not already recorded say something like "Record new shows only" this would then base off the AirDate from Zap (or where ever) and if the scheduled recording date is equal to the AirDate then it is a new program and record the sucker! =) otherwise skip this recording.

Hi,
I've followed the instructions and still i get a fuzzy black screen, no errors.
on the first install, i could hear the channels, and at times i could view all the channels, but when i close the program and start it up again, i get just a fuzzy black screen. on my reinstall of the program, i now get no sound =(, except one channel works sometimes.
i can use zap2it just fine, and i can watch tv just fine using hauppage software wintv2000.
i've tried unclicking 'use livetv if possible' but it doesnt help.

winxp sp2, dx9.0c, .net runtime v1.1
xp3000+, 1gig ram
80gb sata
pvr250
nf7-s 2.0
onboard sound
w/all drivers upto date
on cable in canada

if u can help, thank u very much.

I haven't been able to setup GBpvr to record to a networked disk.
I've tried to map the drive to the local system by local drive letter.
I've also tried to set the recordings directory to use a disk that is found via the networkneighborhood.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Steve

For some reason I can't download the zap2it listings. I checked my username and pass and it is entered correctly. When I try to download it just sits and doesn't do anything for as long as I let it go until finally I just end it. I am broadband so I know that isn't it. I am guessing it is a firewall issue (someone had a comment in another post). I can't seem to find out what port it uses however.

Thanks
