I'm running v0.23.11 and playback of recorded shows is now working fine.  However, whenever I try to watch LiveTV, I always get unusual behavior.  Occasionally, it will drop out to the contacting servers, then jump pack into the TV schedule, but on the times where is does attempt to display the live TV, all I see is a black screen... I do see that the show is being captured to a file in my live TV buffer...

Here is the last snippet from the log just as it attempts to display (note: the log freezes at this point regardless of further navigation which is still possible):

What should I do at this point to rectify this problem?

Thanks,

P.S. I do believe the v0.23.11 is recovering from communication errors with the MediaMVP better in that it can often respond to the contacting servers and show the menu, where as before I would have to restart the server and the MediaMVP.

I have a Caller ID plugin about ready.  However, there are some gbpvr issues that need to be resolved before I can officially release it.  But there are a couple things you can do to get your system ready.

For those interested in trying this, you can go and get the YAC Caller ID program and get that setup and running on your network.  You can run the main YAC program either on your GBPVR box, or on another box on your network (so you don't have to have a modem in, or run a phone line to, your gbpvr box if you don't want to).  Test it out on the install machine and get it working nice.  Then when you get the CallerID plugin you just need to configure a 'listener' in YAC.  If YAC is running on the gbpvr box, you will create a listener to 'localhost'.  If it's on another box on your LAN, you set the listener to the IP of the gbpvr box.

By default, YAC (and the CallerID plugin) uses port 10629.  if this doesn't work for you, change it in YAC and in the CallerID plugin config.

That should be all there is to it!

Here is what it looks like now.  It will look better once sub fine tunes the method of plugins putting text on the screen.  Up until now, no one has really tried this method before.

Posted in the Developers Forum is a new version of the enhanced web admin that integrates better with the look and feel of the GBPVR web admin.

The only a couple changes:

1. Title box automatically checked for searches to being with.
2. Manage Recordings page now has the Quality Setting that the recording is scheduled to record at.
3. Michael Dickson took the time to skinn the new pages for the integrated look and feel.

That is all I can think of. No new features beyond this have been added. This has been tested on version 0.23.8 and version 0.23.11

Sub, I can't get gbpvr config to show the CallerID plugin so I can invoke its config form. What is the config app looking for? The dll is in the plugins directory, and it does get started when gbpvr starts. What am I missing?

I'm thinking it is looking for getName() in IMenuTask? If so, what do I do? I don't implement IMenuTask.

Anyone else using Girder with hopefully a firefly that could give me some pointers? Thanks

Hello altogether,
as a newbie in PVR stuff I´m currently searching the best PVR software for my purposes.

To decide which SW I will use (Got TV or GB PVR) I´d like to ask some questions :

1) I´m located in Germany and we do not have fixed frequencies for the different programs as our cable providers can decide which frequency they use for the different programs. Did I understand it right that the "Tuning Assistant" is a tool to help me ? How must I se it to have GB PVR properly configured ?

2) My EPG source do not include all channels that I can receive with my PVR350. Is that a problem ?
How do I configure these "not in EPG" channels in GB PVR ?

3) How Do I schedule recordings that will use one of these "not in EPG" channels ?

4) Can I use the Composite IN of the PVR as recording source ? How ?
Is it enough to configure 2 capture sources ? One with the tuner and one with the composite in as input and both on the PVR350 ?
Is there a detailled description how to do this ?

5) I have a pay-TV decoder and this decoder is connected to the Composite IN of the PVR350. Is it possible to have more than one channel name assigned to that input ?
What I´d like to have is that I have several channel names (e.g "PREMIERE START", "PREMIERE SPORT" and "PREMIERE 1&quot assigned all to the Composite IN.
This would help a lot to find recordings in the recording panel.

Thanks for any help

Regards
Sven

I already have 2 video capture cards, and don't need another. I was wondering if anyone knows of an FM tuner only card which GBPVR supports. I can't seem to find any FM only cards at all.

Thanks

Sub,

I'm one of your patient fans hoping you'll manage to find some time to get round to adding DVB support (Hauppage Nova-t). If it's on the horizon, I'd be happy to add to the fighting fund and I'm sure I wouldn't be alone.
