Okay, here's my first skin. Obviously, this is an LCARS layout. I'll be updating this skin as time goes by. The functions that I don't use I've still edited so they should match up but if you find a problem, lemme know and I'll see what I can do. Font file to go in your Windows\Fonts dir and the language.xml file to go in your GB-PVR dir are included.
NOTE: Some of the functions that I haven't used for a long time (or ever) have been dropped from my skin. If you find you do like using my skin and really want whatever feature back, lemme know and I'll see what I can do.

Update: Ready for v0.93.2 that is en route.

On going to the WEBPAGE (http://machinename:7647) i get "Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.
HTTP Error 404 - Not Found.
Version Information: Cassini Web Server 1.0.1793.26817

Nothing special on the install though...... any help please??

Many Thanks

Okay, here's my first skin.  LCARS layout (though not strictly adhereing to LCARS standards - because I'm lazy ).  I'm not an XML guru and as such I might not be able to fix problems but I'm open to comments, suggestions, etc. nonetheless. The functions that I don't use I've still edited so they should match up but if you find a problem, lemme know and I'll see what I can do.  Font file to go in your Windows\Fonts dir and the language.xml file to go in your GB-PVR dir are included.

I already have a 'fileserver' PC hidden in the house with a couple hundred GBs of storage. I wondering how well it would work to have the GB-PVR system save the data to the network drive. Has anyone tried this for good or bad? Realistically the throughput shouldn't be that bad, it would be more the latency. I have evertyhing running 100MB full duplex.

I am kind of reposting this issue as I had it buried in another post...but I am baffled by it.  I assume its always user error but I can't figure out what I could be doing wrong.  If I start to watch a scheduled recording BEFORE its completed the recording, ffwd (which is supposed to jump 10 secs) moves several minutes and skip (which is supposed to jump 30 seconds) moves 10s of minutes!!  The replay and rwnd buttons not only do not go backwards but seem to jump forward by large amounts as well.

All seems ok if I let the recording finish before I start watching it.  Not sure what happens if watching live TV and pause for awhile and get behind.  I will try that out tonight.

Anyone else see this...can you please shed some light on what I am doing wrong?

Has anybody managed to get the SAT/Channel on a GI 650 or any GI C Band sat system to change?

It's tougher because you have to maybe change sats, then wait so long and change channels, not to mention I haven't come across anything saying how to do that.

If you have, what did you use and how did you do it?

Hi,
I've got a little problem with the overlaying programinformation in the LiveTV. It shows allways the last information and not the information of the actual program.

Reven and others, here is something you might be interested in using for your plugins.

I thought Reven, might have the most free time right now to implement an interface to something like this. Ideally it would be nice to have a general Metadata database that could be used to store information natively with gbpvr instead of having a seperate database or interfacing with another product.

Sub,

How does GBPVR handle conflicts? Is there a priority setting that can be changed on a recording so that particular recordings always gets first shot at being recorded? The reason I'm asking is that I would like to add to the Manage Recordings section, and sub group for managing conflicts or at the very least setting up GBPVR season recordings so that a priority can be set. Thus if two season recordings (All Episodes, on this channel, or All Episodes, Any channel) happen to appear at the same time. The one with the higher priority takes presedence.

Due to some really strange problems I'll be re-formatting my HD and reinstalling in an attempt to get this great program working.
System is a 1.4gig athlon, 512meg ram, xfxforce mx4000 64meg video, 2x PVR350, SB LIive and 40 gig drive.
Which OS should I install, Win 98, 2000 or XP Pro?
Can anyone make a recomendation and if 2000 or XP, what patches and SPs to install or avoid?
Stability and performance are tha main concerns here.

Thanks
