What I want to see is something like the 'my music' plugin, but a function (both on the remote and/or on the side in an icon) that allows you to play the entire album. Right now, you can only play a song at a time.

The music plugin that comes with gbpvr is what i use, but it'd be nice to see what song is actually playing (which is what 'my music' allows). So i guess i want the best of both worlds.

so basically, see the song that is playing, and have a play all function

I have recently discovered gbpvr and I am blown away by the quality of this software. However, when watching live tv I notice about a 10 second delay when changing channels/live tv image. My card is the hauppauge pvr-250 and I know there is a little bit of live tv delay expected with the pvr-250, but the delay in win tv and sage tv is only about 1.5 to 2 seconds. Is there anything I can do to improve this??? I installed all the hauppauge drivers before I installed gbpvr, should I try a different mpeg-2 decoder??? Thanks in advance. Captainhog

System specs: Nforce2 chipset/athlon-xp barton core 2800+/ati 9600se/512ram/60g & 80g western digital hd/hauppauge pvr-250.

Every channel that I can view with my television or with WinTV is coming in perfectly to GB-PVR except for one. Channel 19 is nothing but static. If i use the "tuning assistant" it's static there as well.

Where is the configuration for the channels stored? Is there any way I can look at this manually to maybe figure out what's wrong?

Like i said, the channel is perfectly clear if i use WinTV or another TV app. I've tried to re-import all the channels from Zap2It with no effect. It just refuses to tune channel 19 (USA network).

Any help?

Hello everyone,

I just started using GBPVR earlier this week and after a lot of reading and tweaking, it seems to be running relatively well, but I have a couple of issues that I can't seem to get around.

My system is as follows:

Asus Pundit-R Case
Radeon 9100 video (On-board)
Celeron 2.4
768 MB Ram
WD 200GB
Hauppauge PVR-250
Silver Hauppauge Remote

I am having isses when trying to start GBPVR in VMR9 or VMR7. It says that the system does not support it. It only works in Overlay mode.
After reading some posts, it appears that others are running in VMR mode on a Pundit system. Any ideas?

Also, while running in Overlay mode (in version 0.90) I am getting a hatching/hazy video when the mouse moves or I get the menu displayed over the video.

Many thanks.

I have had an issue with plugins not showing up/menus different between the PC and MVP.  I could setup/configure the plugins in the config, open the PC window and see what I expected from the config, but on the MVP all I would generally see is the stock apps/menus.  Last night even the skin was wrong, blue in the config and on the pc but red on the MVP.  I finally figured out the following and is consistent every time:

1)  Go into config and set plugins/menus up. Set autostart servers to 1 for the MVP.  PC correct but MVP doesn't match menus, plugins, or skins.  The config/config.xml shows that the skin should be blue but the MVP is using the red skin.  I have tweaked the 4 settings in config.xml to center the MVP screen on my TV and that part works correctly.  Since I only have 1 currently running putting the settings in the general or changing the MAC address area seems to work.

2) Set autostart to 0 and manually start the MVP server from the GBPVR program group in windows.  The plugins/menus/skins are correct every time on the PC and MVP but the MVP screen is not centered on the TV anymore.  I have tried adjusting the settings in config.xml in both general and MAC specific areas but the background/menus do not move.  Another anomaly is the number between the MVP autostart tags does not change/match what is in the config.exe.  It seems to function correctly though, if I change it to 0 in the config the MVP won't load without manually starting the GBPVR MVP server.  If I change it to 1 in the config the MVP loads.  The tags in the autostart section always seem to be a 1 which is strange.  Manually changing the number between the config.xml tags does not seem to have an effect.  If I set the config to 0 and start the MVP server manually, the videos play full screen and looks correct.  It's just the MVP menus/background that is left and low with black border right and above.

Does the config read/write the config.xml file?  Where do the menu changes get written to (I have setup submenus in the config so I don't have to scroll on the screen and don't see anything even close in the config.xml yet they show up on the PC everytime)?  It's almost like it's reading 1 config.xml but writing another.  There is only one installation and I checked my search paths but didn't find anything.  I have tried doing a fresh install (Add/Remove programs from Control panel, delete directory, reboot, and reinstall).  Is there something else I should be deleting (registry?) or deregistering to start fresh?  This was driving me nuts but I think I'm getting closer since I can recreate the issues.

My next throught was to just move on to 0908 but I'm having errors starting up the config (a debug error screen pops up with 3 buttons: detail, continue, quit).  Whe I click continue there are no options in any of the drop down boxes even though the files exist (no skins yet the 3 stock ones are definately there).  The following error is in a log file:

2/3/2005 5:41:58 PM.165 ERROR [7] Failure in ChannelFactory::updateSummary(): Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
2/3/2005 5:42:01 PM.700 ERROR [7] Failure in ChannelFactory::updateSummary(): Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any ideas?  I love this app/plugins.

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.

can any one help me

Would it be possible getting one of these working 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've noticed when i change channels, ff, or rw, the image goes black and then takes a few seconds to come back. audio stays constant.

anyone experience this with .90 ?

sub,

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.

Thanks and regards,

Jan
