Once again, bravo sub! This program just keeps getting better. One new prob for me tho:
Only some of the recordings I schedule show up in the pending screen after an upgrade to 0.90. If I go and try and schedule again (through search, again) it will give me a conflict with the original recording that isn't showing up in the pending screen. I can't figure out why some work and some don't.
I am also missing about half of my ready recordings. Again, I can't find a reason why they do or don't show up.
Really wierd. 0.90 was installed over the old version if it matters and I am using the default skin still (my fav!.
I just tried the new .90 and like all the changes. Great work sub!
While trying it out I had a couple of ideas. First, the mini-guide and the new partial tv guide. I have a hard time reading it when there is other text of a similar size in that area of the screen, which I have come to notice is quite often. Might I suggest putting this at the top of the screen? Rarely do you find other text up there.
Also, about the screen where you pic your type, padding and quality while requesting a record. Given that you can set defaults for all those fields in congfig, allowing an up movement to record could allow verification on that page with only two button presses as apposed to five with having to go down to get there. This would save time on a screen that's used often.
After a reboot I'm getting this in the gbpvrrecordingservice.exe-1.log:
ERROR [4] Error starting webserver: Could not load type bz from assembly GBPVRRecordingService,
Version=1.0.1800.30400, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null.
Worked fine last night before the reboot (and after the upgrade)
After reading around here a while, I decided to take my share of the family tax refund and buy a Hauppauge PVR 350 Card and a MediaMVP. Should be arriving on the 9th according to Amazon.
The PVR 350 will be going into a 900 MhZ Athlon machine running WinXP SP2 and has 384 Megs of RAM. Is that going to be "good enough"? Will GB-PVR make use of the TV-Out of the 350, or will I need to hook up the ATI AIW Radeon's TV-Out to the local box (will be using the MediaMVP for the downstairs computer)?
I upgraded to 0908 and while it fixes the EPG bug, it seems to have created a new problem: The first time the system tries to record something, audio is recorded fine. The second time, the audio is silent. The file itself has no audio, I checked it on another computer.
Subsequent reboots will clear it for the first program, but not the second.
The ATI eHomeWonder is worked perfectly for me, so I don't think it's the hardware.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled; deleted the MDB files and uninstalled/reinstalled. Is there anything I should try before reformatting with XP?
For the most part, the current method of distributing a plugin involves creating a zip file containing the directory structure relative to the gbpvr directory, and then having the user unzip into the gbpvr directory.
Not that this is an overly complex process, but I thought it might be nice if we had a more formalized way to allow the user to setup a plugin.
I created a console application that is named "setup.exe". Â It reads from a manifest file (setup.xml) that contains a sequence of commands that are executed. Â Because it's named "setup.exe", a user can run it right from Winzip, which will extract all files in the archive to a temporary directory first.
In the initial version, the only command recognized is "copy" (for copying a file in your distribution to a source destination).
Destination paths can contain directory tokens, so you can copy a file to the GBPVR directory ($INSTALLDIR), plugins directory ($PLUGINSDIR), and active skin directory ($ACTIVESKINDIR) without worrying about creating the directory structure in your zip.
For enhancements, I can see adding an action to insert information into config.xml. Â I welcome anyone else to come up with additional actions.
I can also see a GUI front-end created to assist the developer in creating the manifest file, and maybe even creating the entire distribution zip file.
Hi, I just started using GB-PVR and so far I like it a lot. I can't believe it already works with my pvr150 remote and blaster!
Here's my prob: I'm having a video skipping problem in LiveTV when I start timeshifting/livetv pausing using vmr9. And I can't get either overlay or vmr7 to work at all, so I'm stuck.
I have newly installed XP Pro SP2 on Athlon XP2000, 512MB ram, Ati 8500 using PVR-150 with all the latest drivers. I'm using Intervideo Windvd decoder, no deinterlacing or post processing stuff.
The overlay works fine in SageTV, I have no idea what to do. Shouldn't my system be able to do VMR9 smoothly? Are there any settings I should know about? Sagetv seems to do vmr9 just fine....I tried searching the forum, but didn;t come across anything.
I have upload my skin to the wiki, however i am uncertain how to create a page for it...Any help..I have read everything. Its getting me no where..I have also email the admin, but no reply..
