Last night I was putzing aroung in GB-PVR getting things scheduled for the night, and was getting real ticked at it hanging. So I started shutting down EVERYTHING in my tray, My KodaK software, Girder... Then for the heck of it, I put my AntiVirus into sleep mode. GB-PVR seemed MUCH better!!. I shut it down last night, and watching several recordings while west wing was recording, it worked very well. All from my MVP! I was very pleased. I will do more testing to see if that is what it was, or just a fluke.

I have Computer Associates E-Trust antivirus. If it ends up being the culprit, I will try to exclude some files/directories and see if that works, so I can keep it running.

So if anyone else has the same type of problems, what anti virus are you using.

Hi,
With the new media experience skin gbpvr is looking very sharp. I am thinking of moving it to the frontend instead of myHTPC.

However, for playing music I use either my music or jukebox plugin. But these stop playing after four songs and lock up gbpvr. Sometimes there is a short loud high-pitched beep, sometimes it just stops. As it is with both plugins, I suspect it to be a problem in the gbpvr code, not the plugin code. Any idea sub?

Greetz,

build: #1.1.1840.4656

ive finally added pin numbers to my videos, ie can password protect a folder, someone finally actually asked for it so i did it .

configuration:
1.unzip new plugin to gbpvr folder (creates "Keypad" in skin folder)
2. now heres the cool part, you dont need to enter the config app to configure it, yay! all you have to do is go into the plugin, enter a "folder menu" (ctrl-o or "no name button" aka "function button" on a folder) and select "Set PIN" it will ask you to "Set Master PIN", this will allow you to enter a "Master PIN" of 4 digits which will be used to set every pin number on a folder, so if you thought an individual PIN number just reset it using the Master Pin.
3. If you want longer pins than 4 digits (minimum, max =20) you however must configure it and set a new Master Pin in the config app.
4. Removing a PIN from a folder, selected "Set PIN", enter "Master PIN" then select either "Clear" (will first clear the digits if some have been enter, in which case select clear again) OR enter a PIN of all zeros (quickest way).


You also dont need to edit the config.xml file this time, i got off my lazy arse and set it up so it does it for you, yay!

PIN numbers are hashed using the MD5 algorithm and stored then as plain text, this means the pin number itself is not stored so no one can hack it, and the MD5 algorithm is one way function, meaning if someone gets that HASH value (which is stored as plain text) there is NO WAY to reverse the process and get your pin number. that said, still dont use your credit card pins thats just silly

find any bugs, have any questions, just ask in the developers forum in the "my videos" thread.

enjoy.

Hey sub,

Any possibility of adding support for animated gif files?

-Eric...

im trying to delete a node, eg "/a/b/c/d" ie deleting the d child.

ive tried using
doc.RemoveChild(doc.SelectSingleNode("/a/b/c/d&quot) //error not achild
then tried:
XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("/a/b/c&quot)
node.RemoveChild(node.SelectSingleNode("/d&quot) //error not a child

so ive had to use
XmlNode baseNode = doc.SelectSingleNode("/a/b/c"
foreach(XmlNode node in baseNode.ChildNodes){
if(node.Name == "d&quot
baseNode.RemoveChild(node);
}
which works, but its not the best way to do things, slower, and i want to know what my stupid mistake is. anyone see it?

So I have GBPVR up and running, waiting on my usb-uirt in the mail, etc,

Would love to add the weather and theatre listing plugins but cannot figure out how. I have DLed them and unzipped them to what SEEM to be the right folders (followed the path in the zip file) but get nothing when I run the gbpvr interface.

Anyone have mercy on a newb?

When compiling the source it compiles fine, but gbpvr keeps returning object not set to instance of object. What do i need to change in the skin to make it work, I assume it has alot to do with the new gbpvr version..

Okay, can somebody tell me why I'm getting a null reference when trying to get the GBPVR Install Directory:

gbpvrPath = PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetInstallDirectory();

Always returns a Null when I'm running in my development system (i.e. debuging code).

Sub do you store this information in the registry anywhere? If so where? I'd rather use the FactoryMethod if I can get it working.

This may be a known issue, but it seems that every time I restart my MPV, I have to restart the MPV service. I'm running the latest and greatest 13 version of GB-PVR.

Is there a fix/workaround?

Thanks,

Hello,

I read the post in this group and has orded the Actisys IR200L Channel change to control my Motorola DTC 2224 digital cable box.

I received the IR200L today and plug it into com1 and ran the channel changer configuration for it. I clicked the "New" button to teach it the signal from the cable remote control, a window popped up to instruct me to press hold channel 1 botton. I press and held channel 1 button for more than 2 minutes and nothing happens. Is there anything that I can do to trouble-shoot this problem.

I did make one mistake by installing the Window XP pro IR device driver as instructed by Actisys manual. After reading post from this group, I realized this would cause problems so I uninstalled the window driver.

Thanks,

Khac
