I just checked the latest version and the GB-PVR configuration tool still shows some behaviour I find mildly annoying...
When I setup a fresh install of GB-PVR, I use an XMLTV file which contains my channel lineup in the order I want, and no EPG data. I load this XMLTV file into GB-PVR as an EPG source and all is fine except for one thing: the channel list starts with channel number 2. Could you please make it so that this list starts with 1, so I don't have to go through the list and decrement each channel number?
Im new to GBPVR. When I schedule recordings or do quickrecordings a folder gets made where I set the recording folder. But no file gets created inside it ?
BTW... made my own xmltv grabber and Im using that file for the schedule. The schedule seems to be 100% ok.
I also needed to install all the channels by hand into the mdb file if that matters...
im writing a new plugin which im trying to make it remember the directories last view (list, icon etc). ive decided to do it in an xml file like
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
<dirviews>
 <D>
  <My_Videos>1</MY_VIDEOS>
  <Recordings>0</Recordings>
 </D>
</dirviews>

so D:\MyVideos has the view associated with 1 and D:\Recordings has the view associated with 0. Â im having problems adding things that arent in the xmlfile already thou.
im using this code (from a plugin config i was using as blueprint)
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
XmlDocument newDocument = new XmlDocument();
newDocument.LoadXml(newNodeXML);
node = DirectoryView.SelectSingleNode(DirToNodeString(currentDirectory.Location));
[/QUOTE]
newNodeXml = a string for the new node eg "/dirviews/d/recordings"
DirectoryView is my xmldocument im using
but that code gives me xml file like
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
<dirviews>
 <D>
  <My_Videos>1</MY_VIDEOS>
 </D>
 <D>
  <Recordings>0</Recordings>
 </D>
</dirviews>

i figure the problem is in "AppendChild" and/or "LastChild", but i cant figure out how to fix this problem, if anyone knows what im doing wrong and how i can fix this, your help would be very much appreciated;
cheers in advance.
oh and if your interested heres info about the plugin and its current status.
I have a problem with dual entries in the EPG. Some days are duplicated into entries for the date before (i.e., all epg listings are put into the EPG on the correct date, but also a copy of the same listings are overwriting the listing entries for the day before). It seems a little erratic, it is not all days that get duplicated, and not all channels either.
I have a PVR-350 and a PVR-250 card, and therefore two almost identical capture sources.
Whe I try to "Empty EPG" in the Config app, nothing happens. I have to force emptying by deleting both capture sources and the re-create them (fairly tedious - is there a way to copy the channel numbers easily back?).
Could I be doing something wrong? I assume both cards need to be set up with full set of channel numbers, as well as point to the same xmltv file?
My Mother has a hard time reading the descriptions etc. on the program guide. Her old TV had a facility on teletext that would "zoom in" on the top or bottom of the page to effectively double the size of the text. Any chance of a similar function or is there some other way of increasing the text size.
any ideas why when i try to watch a DVD, the screen seems to be shifted up 1/3 of the screen? my recordings playback correctly. using radeon9600se with TVout. decoders loaded are nvidia and ati/cyberlink.

I'm not sure if this is an old suggestion or not, but I would like the ability when I'm browsing through the TV guide to just hit the red Record button on my remote to automatically do a "quick record" instead of the 2 step enter on the show, enter on quick record.
Just a small feature that would save me time, especially since there are times I don't care about information about the particular episode and just want to record it.
Does anyone know of a good video file conversion utility (say, .mpg -> .wmv) for freeing up some space w/o losing too much quality, etc.? Also, might this be made into a plug-in?
