How can I completely disable generating the logfiles of gbpvr?

Hi altogether,
yesterday I started to setup my new HTPC with the recent GBPVR.
I´m very happy with it as I had not the expected amount of problems and I managed to have it running yesterday at 8pm.

But some minor questions :

1) Channel switching in LiveTV
I use a PVR350 and the channel switching in LiveTV needs several seconds. Thats no problem and caused by the delay of the PVR during creation of the MPEG stream.
* Can there be displayed something on screen to indicate that the channel is switched ?
* Sometimes I press an arrow key multiple times and then I´m back in the main menu...

2) Skinning
Is it possible to create submenues and if yes, how ?

3) Database stuff - delete of non present channels
I added some channels by hand.
I deleted the recording sources where I added these channels, but in the main channel list (channels tab in the config utility) these channels still are present.
* How can I delete these channels from mdb ?

In teh beginning I had an EPG with a lot of channels that I canno t receive.
These channels are also still present in the main channels list although I deleted the capture sources of these channels.
* How can I delete these channels from mdb ?

* Can some kind of garbage collection be made in the mdb ?

4) EPG clear
Although if I press the "Empty EPG" Button in the Capture Source Setup the EPG is still present.....

* How can I clear it ?


5) Renaming of manually added channels or Capture Source names
If I add a Capture Source or a channel I cannot change the name of it afterwards.
* Where is my mistake ?

Thanks for an hints or help.

Regards
Sven

Hi there, I've been playing with this program for a good while now and I never seem to get the desired bitrate/file size.

When I manually record with GoCap (an app which works with the PX-M402U).... and I set the bitrate to 2500, I always get a bitrate of about 2700 which is acceptable..., but when I use gbpvr and use the low quality profile at 2000kbs ... for some reason I get random bitrates ... 3300+, 4500+ and so on... if it was set at 3000 everytime it wouldn't be a problem, but since I want 2000kbs as the target bitrate... random results is kind of an issue.

I always first change the settings under edit on capture sources, and then set the low quality at 2000kbs.., and when I schedule the recording I also set it to LOW not Medium quality...

I checked the log files and none of them show a bitrate report...

Any Ideas?



I also wanted to know,... what is your file size for 30 and 60 min using the low quality profile....

So I enabled the new panels on the main menu for the clock and current and upcoming recordings. Loved it! Then started noticing cyclic usage of the CPU to 99% every 5-10 seconds. Realized it started after enabling the new panels. So I disabled the panels and the CPU usage went back to normal.

If I enable it again will the quick repeated pegging of the CPU usage deteriorate my recording quality or even playback? Is there a way to get the panels going again w/o the high CPU usage as I really like the new feature?

i was wondering what would be the best way to do a onscreen keyboard, and i came to this conclusion. implement it the same way you use a dialogbox. it returns a result, the main program/plugin has no control and it just waits for the dialogbox to finish. by doing it this way the onscreen keyboard would easily be used over and over again, and only require a few lines of code to be implemented (perhaps even one). so something like
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">string text = onscreenkeyboard.showdialog()[/QUOTE]
which returns the entered text. null if cancel was clicked or something. now my question, is this possible using gbpvr's api ?

and bigger question, anyone else what to write it ?

also this onscreen keyboard could be skinned in one place and used frequently.

thoughts, comments, see a major fault in my reasoning?

Hi fellows. When I run GB-PVR on my PC the DVD icon is there and works great with Daemon tools. But when I fire up the Media MVP and the DVD choise does not show up. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

hello,

as said, they pay attention on your work. it is &quot;chip&quot;, one of the leading pc magazines in germany who wrote an article about gbpvr:

http://www.chip.de/heft/c_heftinhalt_chi...twaretests

on the web page, there´s the information that they wrote a test about it. i´ll buy the magazine tomorrow and tell you about it.

sure they are as convinced about your great work as i am.

thanks and keep it going

Just got everything hooked on the new PVR setup. I have the PVR-150 tuner card and it came with the new 45 button remote. The remote works fine with the IR sensor connected to the PVR-150 and running GB-PVR on the computer, but when I switch over to the MediaMVP Server and try using the remote from my living room it does not work. The older style remote that came with my MediaMVP works in the living room, but not the new 45 button remote. Is there something I'm missing? I have the newest version of IR32 installed, and I made sure to install GB-PVR after installing the Hauppauge software. Both remotes work from the PC, but only the old remote from the MVP. Does the IR receiver in the MVP not work with the new remote?

Have started using the video library plugin and hae encountered a couple of problems.

1. The main file area loses focus after exiting a video. Watch video escape back to folder list and you cannot get away from the main menu and play buttons. The only way is to double click on a folder and then back which then allows you to use the updown cursor keys or scroll wheel in the file area.

2. Lose sound after fast forward. Using DVD to MPEG conversions, play and sound fine, but FF and then no sound.

Last one is a question.

When in the Video Library looking through folders i noticed i could play .ifo files ? - There was now OSD for these and i could see no means of control.

If you can play IFO's from here, will they play on an MVP ?



Thanks



Dean.

With the lastest releases LiveTV is saved to files related to the programme name/time/date.  This is great but how can I delete these files using the Remote and the available screen menu options?  Any suggestions please?
