I am in the process of writing a plugin for the tivo to pull the now showing list from the tivo. Things are a little slow, but hopefully i can get it. I am learning so be patient...

First let me say that I've been using GBPVR for quite a while now, and it's always worked very well for me.  I just set up a media center in my living room, and I use GBPVR to record it all.  I really appreciate having this program, and I like it much more than others that do the same thing.

That said, I have a problem I hope someone can explain.  I'm using version 0.22.7 and I'm trying to record the new episodes of South Park, which are every Wednesday night at 10 PM on Comedy Central.  I've gone to the first one I want to record, and choosen "Record Season (all episodes in this timeslot, this channel)"  But when I got into the Pending Recordings section, it's scheduled to record South Park at 10 on Wednesday like I wanted, but also at 11:30, then again at 9:30 PM the next day, and midnight the day after that.  

I expected that "Record Season (all episodes in this timeslot, this channel)" meant that it would only record South Park only on Wednesday nights at 10 PM on Comedy Central.  If it means something else, can someone explain it to me?

Thanks!

I do not wish to save all episodes to a dvd, etc
just want it to record all the unique shows so I can watch them. but if I delete a show after I watch it, will it re record it again if it comes on again?

Is there a way to not have it do this?

maybe have a db that "knows" what was recorded regardless of the physical mpeg being on the system

Sub,
since you are in hard coding mode, I thought of way to get around a small anoyance in TV Guide. When there is no programme data available, nothing shows for some channels, therefore the user cannot select those channels to do anything.
Also if there is some data for the current channel the color changes to show where the "cursor" is. Since there is no data for some channles the cursos dissapears and it is confusing to tell where you are in the TV Guide.
A way around it could be to show the text: no programme data is available for this channel, or something similar. With this change the guide would look much nicer, it would allow a user to switch to those channels and would remove any possible confusions of where the cursor is.

Here is a teaser. Should be released a few days after the next gbpvr release.

I'm starting a new thread, for covering changes to the GBPVR web Admin. Attached is a sample screen mockup for an Advanced Episode Search function. It will allow for searching by a Phrase or Keyword in either Episode Title, or Description. Items that are already scheduled to be recorded will show up with a red background.

I don't have a huge amount of time to run the Web Admin changes, but figured at least I'd get the thread started. I personally don't plan on adding too much to the web admin, as the episode guide, manager, and the missing search/scheduling function are all I think are needed.

Anyway, feel free to add to this thread, any related projects you have going. Maybe somebody that has enough free time could eventually combine efforts to put a consistent look and feel to everything.

More info once I get the search/scheduler working.

Sub,
I don't know if it's limited to me or what but apparently the "record all episodes in this timeslot on this channel" record option still just records everything of that particular show on that particular channel, regardless of timeslot.

Does this product work with GBPVR. It has an Conexant Mpeg 2 encoder, but I am not sure of the chip model number.

Hi,

Sorry if this has already been discussed -- I couldn't find anything on previous threads... I just recieved and installed my new USB-UIRT today (with the latest and greatest drivers from the usbuirt.com web site). I've been able to run GB-PVR with no problems using the analog cable (Adelphia in the US). I've made the appropriate changes to the config in GB-PVR, including successfully programming the remote for my Adelphia provided Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3100 digital cable box. Here's where it gets strange... channel 3 works great. channel 4 only has audio, and static for video. When I change to say channel 35 (or any other channel for that matter), I get the GB-PVR blue mini-menu that pops up with the channel name/number/logo/description/etc, but no video (only static) and no audio. The USB-UIRT blaster looks like it successfully changed the channel (i.e. the Explorer 3100 changed from "03" to "35" on it's channel display). Then, when I re-enter channel 3 from the static on 35 I then briefly see and hear what should have been displaying on channel 35, before the device switches back to channel 3. I have tried every various permutation of 3 digit numbers, padding zeros, sending ENTER, etc. on the GB-PVR config options, to no avail. Does anyone out there have any ideas/suggestions of what else I could try?

Many thanks,
thedocwat

I am trying to write my own search guide that allows a virtual keyboard to be used for easy searching.

I am now trying to schedule a recording. I am trying to figure out the difference between Record Season (all episodes on this channel) and Record Season (this timeslot and channel).

The database shows them both as type 5. Any ideas how to note one as only this timeslot?

The other question is there are other settings in there.
Weekday, Weekly, Weekend_days. Can those be used if I rewrite the schedule recording page?

Probably a question to sub.
