Sub a couple of requests when scheduling a recording:
1. The ability to specify the format of the filename for the recording. Right now it always records with Episode Name and time stamp. What would be nice is if we can specify the format of the output filename to be based on a pattern. Something like:
CURDATE_EPNAME_SUBTITLE
EPNAME_DATE_SUBTITLE
Or something along those lines.
2. The ability to send all recordings to a Common folder or to their own individual folders. Right now, you specify a default Parent folder and then each episode gets it's own folders created when it creates the file. Personally I like that method, however, my wife prefers to have some episodes that get recorded and then deleted to be put into a COMMON folder.
Then an option when recording could be given to choose folder type to use. Either Common for the episode to be place there, or by Episode to be placed in it's Series folder.
I recently installed a PVR 250 card, a MediaMVP, and GB-PVR. I can view live TV on the PVR 250 application just fine. However, when I try to view Live TV using GB-PVR on my TV (via MediaMVP), all I get is static. Sometimes, I get audio, but I don't get any picture.
I have my cable line plugged in to the PVR 250 card. I've selected PVR 250 in the capture settings. I downloaded the TV schedule and channel assignments using Zap2It. I just can't get the Live TV to work. I have Internal Tuner selected as the source.
This morning, I did find that if I select Antenna in the Tuning dropdown list, then I do get channels up to 11, but nothing higher. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am pretty new to this whole PVR thing but have been reading stuff on it for the past few weeks.
I have been looking at the WinTV-PVR-350 by happauge for the PVR card.
Will this let me watch and record video at the same time?
Can I plug the TV into this card directly or use some type of tv out on a video card?
Will the remote work with GB-PVR?
Is there a difference between WinTV-PVR-350 and PVR-350 or are they the same?
I have many more questions but will wait for postings on these. I just want to make sure this stuff will work since I have never done this before and the card is $200.
I saw this forum thread over at Meedio and thought it might be useful. What screen res does GBPVR use, the one Windows has setup? Also is it worth getting the Sonic decoders?
OleDbCommand aCommand = new OleDbCommand("select name, start_time from programme where name like '" + stringToMatch + "%'", aConnection);
It works fine except when the string to match contains a '
I don't know what happened but since I've upgraded to version 0.22.7, it's been missing a ton of my season records. This is NOT due to a problem with conflicts. I just went in and manually added about 6 showings of a program that's on my season record list that GB-PVR would not have recorded unless I told it to. Anybody else have this issue, or know if a fix is coming (hopefully very very very soon??). This is driving me nuts having to constantly check to make sure my programs are being recorded.
I'm putting together a library of widgets (data structures, controls that will render to the screen, etc) to at least help me to refactor some of my code, and to make future development a little easier.
I'm wondering what the interest level would be among plugin developers to have a common library of reusable components. I mean, it's easy enough to just copy and paste code from one plugin into another, but the result tends to be a little messy.
When I say "control", I mean a component that is very much like Windows form controls. The developer can set properties that effect the rendered output without necessarily worrying about how the details of the control is implemented.
For instance, a Frame control would have certain properties (size and position, border style, color, etc), and when told to render, would draw a frame on the screen. This alone is not much different than sub's DrawRoundRect() method, except that a Frame control might be able to draw both a square and a rounded rectangle, selectable by a setting of the current skin. The plugin designer would just need to create a Frame object, set properties, then tell the Frame to render when it needs to. In addition, maybe the Frame is a container control (a control that contains other controls).
If there is interest, and others would like to contribute to the library, then perhaps I'll set up a SourceForge project for it to enable the proper collaboration (and to facilitate public access to the latest codebase).
Whew! Finally a combination of username and password worked. There is a major bug with the login system for these forums.
Anyway, this program is great for recording, but I am using an Hauppauge PVR 150 MCE and the Live TV performance is horrible. It takes good 30 seconds to load the first time and then about 5 seconds to change channels. Is there any fix for this?
I used Logger.Info() calls for testing and debugging when working on my LCD plugin on my development system. As soon as I moved the plugin to my target system (the only one with tuners) for some final testing, my output would not appear in any of the GB-PVR log files. Only after setting the number of MVP servers to autostart to 0 (in the playback tab of the config application), did I get back my output.
I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to work, but I wanted to post this to help others who might be struggling with this.
maybe for Tieke...
i noticed that the skin by Tieke has a directory for mame. i am wondering how i can add mame (or any other program) to the menu.
thanks!
