I being trying to see if I can build a pluggin for this program.
it for dvb ..
I have a commanline interface to a dvb program.. ( this progam handles most cards other then ss1- and will do encrypted data via subscription cards and other means)
this dvb program gerates a valid xmltv guide with every thing i need to tune the channel. but i do not see how to get the data from gb-pvr when I select the channel..
basically it works in theory very well.
I enter the data from the xmltv guide for that particular channel it tune to that channel and records the channel in shared mode. then to view the channel live i just open it with gb-pvr.
this is mainly for sub, i know hes away but i still would like to get developers opinion on this. now that ive made the "my programs" plugin, i feel that it would be nice if users could launch a few plugins via this, and by hitting the menu button (or the back button, ie just override the .returntomainmenu() method) to exit back to the executing plugin. eg under my programs there are 4 categories, my apps, utils, games and emulators. the "Calculator" plugin could be placed in the "Applications" or "Utils" category, and the "Solitaire" plugin could be placed under the "Game" category. then when the user leaves these plugins, they are taken back to the "my programs" plugin. also the "DVD ripper" could be placed in "utils" its would just be a nice way to remove excess buttons from the main menu, and neatly sort them.
what do you guys think? anyone know if i can do this already? configuration would just be a custom file eg "Calculator.gbpvr" in the user defined "Utils"/"Apps" directory. so just try and run a plugin called "Calculator" ([filename].[ext] = run([filename]).
I know there are alternatives to the built-in Video Library that allow video files to be deleted. However, I really like the simplicity (= WAF ) of the Video Library, so I would appreciate it if you could add a delete function to the built-in Video Library.
My video directory gets filled automatically (by a lua script that reads an rss feed and controls a bittorrent client) and I would like to be able to easily delete a video when I'm done watching it.
Yesterday I finally finished the setup of my new PVR pc in the living room, finally connected it to the TV with a good quality cable (instead of the shitty Marmitek I tried for over a week...).
Time to play! So I scheduled some recordings and played them back later.
The sharpness of the recording is amazing, subtitles are also very sharp. That suprised me in the positive way.
But... (there's always a but...) I have a tiny delay in the audio when playing back on the hardware TV-out. Just enough to be anoying. Besides that, the playback is not realy fluid (or how do you say that). It looks like it skips some frames per second, talking people look weird.
P.S.: If I watch a recording back on the pc screen, it looks awesome, sound is ok (no delay) and playback is fluid. So it looks to me like a TV-out issue.
So, finally my question:
Do I have to adjust some more settings than just the playback device? Is it wise to minimize the OSD during playback (I saw that is also an option) or do I have to make adjustments to some ini file or something?
My Zone Alarm is asking me to allow GBPVR to act as a server and also, I notice GBPVR is constantly accessing the internet. Why? Seems like once a day it would need to update the EPG and otherwise not at all be internet aware. And why should I give it server permissions? If I don't will this effect the functionality?
The only skin that seems to work is the default blue one. None of the other ones (i'm talking about the ones created after and for .90) seem to be working. Anyone else have this experience?
Under CONFIG i change the skin, press ok, then i run the program. My harddrive spins and spins, and then it just stops and never really loads the program.
No one else seems to be having this problem (as far as I can tell) so is something wrong with my set up??
In my system I have two capture cards: PVR-350 + FM, PVR-250. I am not sure what to select for board # when I setup capture sources. Does it relate to physical PCI slots?
Here is how I set it up:
In setup I add source 1, select capture card type PVR-350. What should I select for board #? I selected 1.
I then add source #2, select PVR-250, and again, what do I select for board #? I selected 2.
According to Hardware Mangler my 350 lives in slot 4, while my 250 lives in slot 3.
Has anyone gotten GBPVR to work with an Adaptec videoh! pci? Every time I try to watch live tv the program crashes. And the video hardware encoder doesn't show up in the list evn though it's supposed to have hardware encoding
