Is it possible to change the time out of the screen saver on the MVP ?

I currently have developed a plugin that looks very similar to the recoring screen. You have ready, pending, reoccurring and videos.

The main difference between this plugin and the off the shelf recording logic (besides mine having more bugs) is that I will group the shows by name. Let us say you have the west wing and you have a bunch of them I will group them together and indicate the # of files in that folder.

I am also supporting locking a channel or a show thus requiring a 4 digit password code to access that folder (using the blue button). I also provide a means to export the programs information to a file which if present in the specified video directory (currently defined in the skin) I will group it in the same manner, providing the descriptions, channel, date and time.

Support for 24 hour mode is also in.

You can also delete a video.

Other ideas I might add if feedback is positive.

Editing a recording (change padding etc)
Archive recording to xvideo directory.
Suspending a reoccurring program and resuming it (so it stops recording for a period).

Sub is there a new type you can add that will just be ignored.

If you are interested in trying out this plugin send me a message with your email. I will send it to sub in a few days when more feedback comes in.

I've set up GB-PVR with a Hauppauge 250 on an Athlon 850 and everything is working great except for the TV listings. Everything is off by an hour. I have not been able to find a setting in GB-PVR or zap2it where you can adjust the time. I have set my system time behind by an hour so that the TV listings show and record the correct programs, but the time is still off.
Has anybody encountered this before? I'm thinking that it may be because daylight saving time kicks in this weekend, I guess I'll see Sunday.

BTW, thanks for the great product.

When I am playing videos through the MVP, the overlay darkens the whole screen instead of just the information in the lower third. Is this an MVP software issue?

I have been slowly ramping up my install of GB-PVR for a while as I acquire new dedicated hardware. I have two tuners and a big disk now, and will probably be buying another MVP soon because everything seems to work so well toghther.

It makes me feel better and better that I could throw together such a great multi-tuner, whole-house, subscription-free, archivable solution from commodity hardware, never worrying about the new restrictions continually occurring with Tivo. Thanks again, Sub.

Is it possible to have an option for changing the backround image to whatever you want? It'd be cool to see the menu above a real picture (like a grassy hill, the beach, etc.). Even cooler would be if it supported formats more than just JPEG, perhaps animated gifs or animated PNG (MNG - Multiple-image Network Graphics) so that you could have a cool floating effect.

I see there's some preset radio stations in the net radio button, but how about being able to add your own? Title it, then paste the streaming link in, and voila! your own custom list of net radio stations. Perhaps even a way to add XM or Sirrus to it for those that subscribe to the online version. There's a station that I love to listen to: http://www.energyarizonafm.com

Well, I wrote in the "dutch cable" topic that it works for sweden too. And it does, it's just that when I was going to do it for real this time (I've only added a few channels before, to try things) the darn assistant won't help me =)

For some reason it seems that all the channels I'm interested in happen(?) to have the same channel numbers as they do in WinTv2000. Except for one. So, I do my EPG update, and then change the channel numbers to the ones taken off wintv2000. Now, I have this last channel, "kanal5" to enter channel number for. I start the tuning assistant for some help, but it crashes, with the fun "send error report to microsoft"-window. Now, I know that wouldn't help :-)

Sub, are there any log files that could help you help me understand what the problem is? Would it help if I sent you the error report that Microsoft wants? =)

You are comfortably sitting in your couch.

my program at "http://www.kima.at/setcursor.exe" moves away the cursor.

in my irremote.ini for the hauppauge-remote in the [GB-PVR] section:
BLUE={run(C:\Programme\setcursor.exe)}

solves the problem.

hello,

I was wondering why when I go to Update EPG, it tries to log into ZAP2it and process the listing, but it never finishes. . . it can sit there for hours and do nothing. any thoughts?


can use xmltv to download manually....but have been trying for a month through gbpvr
thanks for helping

I just installed GB-PVR and got everything working correctly except, when i press live tv it just sits there for about 30 seconds and then lets me move around the menu again. i know my PVR-250 works because i used the turner program and it went through every channal and i saw live tv. any help would be great (p.s. i am pretty green with this PVR i have succesfully installed mythtv, but i know nothing about how this one works)
