I was fiddling around with "config" today while in the background the recording service was capturing a show. When I hit OK, I had forgotten that I was recording something and it shutdown the recording service and restarted it - overwriting what had already been captured with a fresh start.

Is there any way you can add a check to see if the recording service is working, and if so, notify the user? Don't worry about saving their settings until the recording is finished, just pop up a box that says something like:

"To apply these settings, the current recording must be terminated and restarted. You will lose any video that has been captured up to this point." [OK], [CANCEL].

That way I can hit cancel, and then just wait until it's done recording and apply the settings then. If you want to add support where you save the settings until recording finishes, then apply the settings and restart the service, great, but it's a lot of extra work. A little notification would be great though!

Thanks!

I just bought a PVR-150, and was playing around with it. I'm considering getting a MediaMVP for the living room.

There's a couple of features that are necessary for the wife to accept it (of course!).

I read somewhere that if you hit "record" while viewing LiveTV, it will only record that program until you stop viewing it in LiveTV. Is that true?

Also, any way to get the full guide overlayed (and transparent) while watching LiveTV?

Thanks!

Please consider this:

The web admin page would be far easier to navigate if the page was in frames so that the top of the page stayed put while you scrolled down through the schedule. Checking channel 74 through a few hours' worth is cumbersome. . . . Down, down, down, look, up, up, up, pull-down for time (or arrow over), down, down, down, look, up, up, up, etc.

All of that would be just arrow over.

Thanks for reading this.

Since midnight last night I've no listings in my TV Guide for any channel. The information is definitely in the database as I've checked manually, the TV guide on the web interface still works and my scheduled daily recordings are still being recorded.
I moved the database to my SQL server about a week ago (mainly to try and save memory and already had SQL server running for other stuff) and changed the DB connection string to use that, so maybe that's somehow related? I can't see any problems in any of the logs.

download 2.0.2.5

2.0.2.5 (02-03-2005)
- added "Dont display current song information" (this will allow the screensaver to kick in on the MVP, however the current song name/album art and track position wont be displayed).

Ok ive done another major update to "My Music", it now uses a database to store all the tag information about the music files, also about any audio cd.  It first scans the file if not found in the database and then adds it to the database, and in case of a audio cd, when you enter the cd it will lookup the info from freedb.org and save that into the database.  A few files wont have the track duration available via the headers (also no audio cds will have this info, also no ape files), so whenever you play a song it will update the duration (since gbpvr learns this info when the song begins to play) in the database, so it will now show the duration, yay!  you must be in the my music plugin for the update to occur however.

I recommend you backup the old mymusicplugin.dll file, just incase i made a huge mistake and it doesnt work.  Also this version REQUIRES GBPVR 0.90x.  Since a few methods have been added, allowing you to select any song in the playlist and jump to that song (sadly the remove from playlist didnt make it into the gbpvr 0.908 so i have to wait for the next release before i can add this).

The database stuff, it uses the default gbpvr directory for most users C:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\music.mdb, if this is not your gbpvr directory, you can change the connection string in the configuration, under "Database settings".

Also under "Database Settings" theres a "Scan" option, this will scan all the elements listed in the virtual root and add the found music files to the database, i highly recommend you do this, otherwise it will be added the files as you browse aroung "my music".

The playlist now loads the tag information when it is needed, ie only loads the info as they are displayed, greatly improving speed for large playlists (still via the database, it was just taking to long to load them all at once).

I already have a GBPVR server set up with 2 PVR-150s and 2 MVPs. I am thinking of putting a PVR-150 in my son's computer so he does not interfere with my 2 channels of recording<g>.

If that PC also runs the GBPVR MVP server, am I going to have a problem?

If so, any thoughts on exporting recorded shows from that PC to the PC running the MVP servers?

In case you wonder why I don't just add the 150 to the existing server, it only has the 2 PCI slots.

i love this version (love the quick channel change), though i've discovered (maybe it's my paranoia) that the audio and the video are a tiny, hair bit off-sync... anyone else notice it, or is it just me?

I've just installed GB-PVR and a variety of plug-ins.
When I control the media MVP with the Hauppauge remote control it works fine at first but then begins to lag. It seems to become unresponsive to the remote's signals but then after about 30 seconds it carries out all the remote commands I have pressed in frustration.
Sometimes the media MVP will reboot as a result of this.
The problem does not appear to be confined to any particular plug-in.
Has anyone got any ideas as to the cause and any suggested fixes.

The new one posted still does not work... anyone have luck with it? I suppose it will take a couple weeks for all the plugins to "catch-up" and work with the new version!

OK. so I've been using GB-PVR for a few months and am sticking with it but decided to get a MediaMVP. Now, I'm almost lost as to what to do next. I have it hooked up to my network and it works out the box. However, what do I need to do to use it with GB-PVR?
I currently have the PVR350 but not set to tv out so I can occassionally watch tv on the pc. Is TV out needed to use the GB with the MVP? I know, I know duh but I can't find any documentation on setting it up on the forums.
Thanks for not laughing too loud. javascript:emoticon('')
