When adjusting the volume it would be nice to see a moving bar from say left to right indicating that the volume is being increased or decreased. When the mute button is pressed a nice little icon to depict that the sound is muted

Gilding the lilly I know

I'd like a little more control than the native zap2it gives me but haven't located a decent xml client.

anyone using one?

when i try to watch videos in my videos section, gbpvr more times than not freezes after a fast forward or skip forward / reverse. anyone know how to fix this? sometimes after a few seconds the video comes back, but sometimes it freezes the whole gbpvr application.

my live tv / buffered tv is flawless.

Whew, here's my first release for the GBPVR community:

RecInfo - version 0.9beta.  Get it here:RecInfo-09beta.zip

This tool, when added to your PostProcessing.bat file (ideally AFTER comskip.exe), allows you to access approximately 20 program-related fields, including show title, description, number of commercial breaks found by comskip, etc.

Configuration of RecInfo is set via the included RecInfo.cfg file, by which you can customize a detailed email message to be sent (via the auth-SMTP server you have access to) with numerous details about the just-completed recording.  In order to use this feature, you MUST add your SMTP info to the config file.

Also, via its config file, you can specify a shell command for RecInfo.exe to execute that includes any of the variables that RecInfo makes available to you.

Finally, using the included free tool "MediaInfo.exe" (see http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net), RecInfo will report data about the actual .mpg file (currently only playing/duration).

I created this tool basically because I wanted to be able to assure my wife that her shows actually did record correctly and in full (without actually having to examine each one manually).

Here's a sample of the email that RecInfo now sends to me:

Please post comments/suggestions/problems here and I'll do my best to get this release out of beta ASAP.

Hi everybody,

first of all: Thanks to sub for this great pice of software! And thanks to all the guys developing these great plugins. After playing around with it for 2 weeks and getting everything running I installed a new 160GB HD for recordings. I moved all recordings to this HD and updated the paths in the Config (I checked the config.xml - they also got properly saved). But still they do not show up in Recordings nor in XRecord (v. 18, just installed).

I am a bit lost now, how to tel gbpvr, that the recordings are all there under the new path.

Any idea?

Thanx in advance,
Piotre

Hi,

I have a Hauppauge PVR 350. Does the power button on the remote have some sense?

It would be nice if I could reinitialize the PVR350 with it, because after hibernation I have no picture only those colored stripes...

Please excuse me if this posted to the wrong forum. I'm getting ready to build my first PVR using MediaMVP and GBPVR, so I can view recorded TV shows on my television. My PC on the back end will be using Win XP. I could use MCE, but I'm using an older machine and it looks like WinMCE has some pretty high system requirements (let me know if anyone thinks this is wrong). Here's my dilemma: I thought I'd use the PVR-150 , but the PVR-150MCE seems to be the same thing but a lot cheaper. From what I can tell it looks like you don't get some of the software with the MCE version, but with using GBPVR will I be missing anything I need?

Found this in GBPVR.exe-native.log

Gents,

I’m going to release a new version of Guide2J soon… This version will have the standard horizontal time-line view, as well as two vertical time-line views (descriptions in line with the programs title, and the description somewhere else on the screen only for the selected program).

As a relative new comer to plug-in development – I have a question.

I was thinking of having a settings.xml file as well as 3 skin files – one for each view. I’d imagine that each view the end user would want it to look different? I could put all of the skin information in one file (I’m doing it now for dev) however, this skin file is rather large and confusing.

Would this be a no-no in GBPVR plugin developlement?

Do we have any artistic people that would like to help out developing a logo for GB-PVR? Its never really had one, but I think it would be useful.

If we're lucky enough to get a few options, we'll make it a bit of a public vote fest.
