Hi, How can I apply a thumbnail picture for each directory?
In the picture you see an empty blue box so I suppose it is to display a thumbnail.

Second, how to display some small description of each directory?
I made a textfile with same name as folder but I can's see no description at all.

Any help would be glad
thx

Hello,

I'm new to the entire PVR thing. Just picked up a Hauppage 500MCE and I'm trying to configure gb-pvr and girder. GB-PVR is awesome! Nice job...and great community support.

My question is this. Are the 'Channel Up/Down' commands distinct from the Menu 'Up/Down/Left/Right' commands? My remote has separate buttons but I didn't notice separate commands in the grider gml file. I'd like to use the different buttons on the remote.

The keyboard reference in the wiki docs refer to the Hauppage but it's unclear me how to go about doing this without using the built-in support for the Hauppage remote.

Suggestions anyone?

Does anyone know whether GBPVR hooks to a batch file when a recording starts (much the same way it hooks to PostProcessing.bat when a recording is finished)?

I can think of several uses (depending upon what data is passed to the batch file) for such a hook.

If the answer is 'No', I'll repost this message in the Wishlist forum.  

ive updated media experience so it can work with "my videos v2.1.2.0"
things added
- locked icon now displayed for a folder/file that requires a pin
- added "remove from database" to the menu

think i added one more thing, but i forgot.

download gbpvrme.zip

enjoy.

ok when i first starting playing around with making a plugin, i began working on a settings plugin, as gbpvr seems to be missing this, however ran into issues:
- what if the plugin developer completely changes something; then the settings for that plugin no longer work
- only a limited number of plugins will have settings
- what if i buggered off and the settings were no longer maintained
- how do i force the plugins do update these settings?

ok now with auto update, discussion lead to downloading new plugins, skins. if you download a skin in gbpvr you dont really want to quit go into the config and change the skin, thats annoying if you can download it in gbpvr shouldnt you be able to change it in gbpvr? (ok we arent there yet, but im sure we are going to get there, yeah im optimistic).

anyway, i was thinking long and hard (err maybe ten minutes) but what if each plugin had a subclass called "Settings" (or something) and in the class we had a few methods
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">///proccess keyevents
//returns if handled
public bool KeyPress(Keyevent e){
}

//draw method (or is it render?)
//returns err whatever the normal draw method returns
public somethign Draw(){
}

//restarts the settings (eg button positions etc)
public void activate(){
}[/QUOTE]

and the IMenuTask would add this method
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">//returns a class of type "SettingsScreen"
public SettingsScreen getSettings(){
return null; //if no settings are needed
return new SettingsScreen();
}[/QUOTE]


now there would be a &quot;Settings&quot; plugin, this plugin would show every plugin in a menu (much like the main menu, even possible display the task images), instead of starting the plugins normal, it would just call the &quot;Settings&quot; class, and pass the keyevents and draw method to this class. if the keyevent returns false (ie the keypress wasnt handled, eg &quot;back&quot; or &quot;home&quot; then the primary &quot;Settings&quot; plugin would handle this, but not by default, incase the plugin wants to process the &quot;back&quot; button internally).

so this means every plugin would handle its own settings screen, every plugin would be aware of the updates and can update itself accordingly, every plugin on the menu could have a settings screen.

the best solution would probably be to let sub make the initial class (since gbpvr seems to have no problem starting plugins, and every other plugin needs the dll to be in the gbpvr root directory (well i think it does), also this should be package with gbpvr itself).

ok i think this is a good idea (well its mine, so course i would), but gbpvr is missing this, its going to need it, and very soon, i often find myself editing the config.xml file and quickly closing and then restarting gbpvr to change a setting, with this you wouldnt need to. its genius!

some what you all think?

Just went to download this plugin, but the website says:
Installation
Download the latest version of the Plugin: Attach:music_plugin.zip (12 kb)

This does not seem to be the correct zip file. If you know the name of the zip-file please contact me /blader_se

Anyone have the correct file?

Hi- first post on here, so please be gentle!!

I'm based in the UK and I've been a long time user of TV cards/capture devices on my PC-I currently have a Tevion Xpert pci card and a Skystar 2 satellite pci card running off my motorised dish set up-both of which I use succesfully to capture in MPEG2 and burn to DVD or playback via my video card's TV out function.

I've recently been giving some serious thought to building a dedicated PVR and came across this site/software from byopvr.com.

I'm trying several of the PVR programs out there, and I must admit, I like the look of this one, but from the list of supported cards, it seems it's not going to be compatible with my Tevion card?

When I build my PVR, my intention is to use a digital tuner card rather than an analogue one alongside my Skystar 2 card, but again , it appears that GB-PVR won't function with them-or am I missing something blindingly obvious?

So, am I barking up the wrong tree with this software, or am I actually in the right place??

I can't get video archiver to access movies on my network. I have tried adding the network directories but they don't show on screen. I have also tried adding windows shortcuts. ...any ideas?

everyone is invited to discuss how this plugin should be implemented. reven and i thought of a database (this was revens idea) hosted by blader on the wiki (we'll have to ask him first).

every plugin-developer, skin-designer and maybe sub himself has access to this database to add/edit the information about the plugin/skin/core. the update-plugin takes gets the information, downloads the files and copies them to the target folders.

just post your ideas in this thread!

I am using GB-PVR with my MVP. If I've scheduled a recording, it works if I am running the MVP server. Does it work if neither the server or the GB-PVR program are running? Just wondering incase I've scheduled a recording and I forget to have the service running.

Thanks.
