Not really Support but...

What do you guys Season Record?

I've found that question useful for finding new things to watch

Can we have a season record option through the web interface?

hey i want a few people to test out this ui ive done for my videos, i want to get this right since i will be using the same interface for a few more plugins.  its only an alpha release, and i havent yet add clickable regions on theh fill lists (is every where else thou).  only things you can do at the moment is play dvds, rip to iso, dvd-to-dvd copy, 3 different file views, sort files based on date, name, type and size; you can use folder.jpg/folder.png in icon and big icon view.  it will search gbpvr\media\my videos\[filename -minus extension].jpg for a image to display a movie poster etc for file (im still working on this to make download these things automatically).  um yeah, any skin developer, fini especially can you test this out, and see if you need any more tags in the skin file.  its tried to put as much as possible in the skin file (around 120lines i think).

heres a link its 457kb which contains the skin test i made just dump that folder into the skin you are using to test it out (havent done the blue skin yet) and just edit that skin to get the basic idea.

enjoy, oh yeah remember its an alpha (i want to put a lot more features into it, just want to get this stuff right now before i move on)

NOTE: the dvd ripper rips to iso and you must specify a directory to do this to, but this directory must also contain directories it works on this theory \DVDs\Genre so \DVDs\Comedy \DVDs\Action etc.

Almost 50% of the time when I click the Record button in the TV Guide, the GBPVR app disappears and the MediaMVP's 'Contacting Servers' message comes up. I have to then walk over to my computer and restart the GBPVR MediaMVP Server. I don't know why this happens and if it has something to do with the firewall on my router, I don't know how to fix it. I have Windows XP SP2 with the Firewall off and a Belkin Network Router (with a firewall).

not showing up. With any of the skins etc..

Sub, i just installed .238 over .227 and ran into a problem. I had to install MDAC 2.8 before installing without error 1904.
(I'm running win2k sp4).

But GBPVR does not run. Please see attached log.

Hi All, this is my first post but i would like to thank all of you for the wealth of information that these forums provide.

I am using the Xrecord plugin an from what i can see in the skin code it used C:\video. i'm just not having any luck with this feature, i have created the video directory and have tried pointing it to another directory with no joy.

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using the LifeView Walker, and I know that there will be added support later on, but everyonce in a while I'll get a recording that doesn't have any audio, but has video. This always happens in Divx mode, but occassionally happens when using MPEG2.

Audio and Video always play fine when using the software that comes with the walker so I know it's working correctly.

I have a sample file that I could upload that shows the problem. Only thing is it's about 1.5 gig in size. Might take a while to send. It was recorded at medium quality, mpeg2 format. If need be I can try to send the logs for that time period. Just let me know which ones are needed.

I've uploaded the new v0.23 release to http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR0238.msi.

This is a big release with a lot of changes, and includes many of the big ticket items that I've been putting off for months. The release has had quite a bit of testing, but given the amount of change - if you're after a super stable system, this may not be the release for you.

From the change.log
2004-11-28 v0.23
- Added support for the new Hauppauge cards, specifically the PVR150 and PVR500 (dual tuner).
- LiveTV support has been entirely redeveloped. You can now FF/Skip during LiveTV for PC/XCard/PVR350/MVP. In theory your can also RW, but this seems to only works sometimes - work in progress and all that...
- You can now press the "record" button on your remote whilst watching a program to record it. This records everything that GB-PVR has on the program, including the bits you've already watched. Please note, when you start a recording this way, it'll also stop when you leave live tv.
- You can now play a recording that is already in progress with out being kicked back to the menu half way through.
- Added SECAM support for GO7007SB based capture devices.
- Initial support for the LifeView TV Walker mini. This no longer required WinDVD Creator to be installed. One of the steps (IAMCrossbar->Route()) when starting live tv is very slow on this device, which makes it very slow to start livetv for the first time.
- Now includes support for MPEG2 variable bit rate (VBR) recordings.
- Now able to use the Globespan registry settings for recording volume etc.
- Manual recording has been totally redeveloped. You should recreate any manual recording you have previously set up.
- The "Play" key can now be used to skip to the next commercial skip point if video is already playing, and comskip file is available. You can still also use the "0" skip-forward/skip-back key combination from the last release.
- There is now an option to group "available" recordings.
- Conflict management screen now available (off Recordings screen) for managing conflicts between reoccuring recordings  
- Made a few more skin features configurable. If you maintain a skin, see the separate post that lists the changes.
- You can now specify submenus to allow you to group functionality, instead of just one big list of buttons.
- You can now update existing pending recordings (padding, quality etc).
- Numerous other small tweaks and bug fixes.
- Now executing PostUpdateEPG.bat if it exists, after updating the EPG.
- Green can be used for page up in the tv guide. Blue for page down.
- Pressing Play in the tv guide on a show that is currently playing will start live tv.  
- Added a couple of panels to the menu showing information (clock and pending recordings). They're disabled by default, but can be enabled easily in the "skin\blue\mainmenu\skin.xml" file.
- You can now launch any of the menu items directly from the command line using the "-direct" parameters. This replaces the old hard coded parameters (-livetv etc). As an example, GBPVR.EXE -direct "live tv".
- Added native support for the RedRat3. For IRDA support, you'll need to continue to use the .exe channel changer for now.
- Added option to config.xml to disable the OSD during video playback. This makes the MVP much much more responsive.

I just tested my system and GBPVR works fine when recording from Standby, but won't wake the computer from Hibernate. I set the computer to hibernate at 2:30am and it did not wake at 3:00am to update the EPG. (The 'wake machine' box was checked) I then tried to record a show at 11:00am from hibernate and it did not work either. Is there a BIOS / Windows / GBPVR setting that I need to change for this to work? In my AMI BIOS all of the power settings are disabled. In Windows, I have it set to turn off the monitor after 20 minutes, put the computer in standby after 45 minutes, turn off the hard drive after 1 hour, and hibernate after 2 hours. Hope you all can help!
