I was thinking about how to record streaming video. My first thought is to just connect the S-video TV-out of my graphics card to the TV-in of my PVR-250, and also loop the audio.
Anyone done this, or do you know of a better solution, please let me know.
Sub,
The newest (and last, it would seem) version of comskip is out; does GB-PVR still take the new text file output and inlay the commercial points in a recording as before?
I currently have a couple of MCE machines and was thinking of converting one to GB-PVR as I think it wouldbe betterfor the machine specs... does the MCE remote work with GB-PVR, and can it be used to control anSTB as in MCE?
Is there any way to customise the number of rows and columns of folders/files in the video library?
I'm developing a new skin and 6 icons is way to few, they are HUGE on my 52" TV
I would really like being able to customise this in the skin file.
I know this subject has been touched on elsewhere in the forum but thought I'd add it here as I'm having trouble with the audio level being too high and clipping when recording from an external source (my NTL cable box).
At the moment the only way round the problem appears to be to use some home-made attenuators in the audio line.

PS Feel like I'm always complaining but actually think this is the best piece of PVR software I've tried yet. Thanks!
If I understand the way the Scheduler works, the Recording type is just an indicator whether that particular program title will be recorded once, or for an entire season.
Currently in the Details.apsx web page, it only gives the option to record an episode once. I'm thinking of adding a button to record an entire season on a channel, or regardless of channel. This is easy enough to do using the ScheduleHelper methods. I'm assuming that when the EPG is updated it checks the database for episodes that are to be recorded for an entire season a specific channel and adds those recordings at that time to the scheduler. If this is correct then, I'm golden. If not, then how are seasons handled from within GBPVR?
Also, it appears that the Zap2It guide data only goes out a week at a time. Is there anyway to specify that it brings in more than a weeks worth of data, or is this a limitation of Zap2It?
Sub, is there any possibility of allowing a program to be scheduled through the ScheduleHelper if you don't have a tuner card installed? I'd rather use your API instead of manually adding it to the Database myself. However, currently if I try to schedule a program on my development machine (which doesn't have a tuner card), the scheduling fails because it tries to initialize or grab the capture device. Something like a NullCapture device, or at least a stub that simulates a capture device would be nice.
I just need something to develop test against.
Can a Development Capture device be added to the Configuration file? Might be the easiest way to solve this instead of actually changing the API too much that interfaces with it.
