Just a thought - would it be possible to filter the directories that the MVP players have access to over gbpvr by their Mac Addresses ?
The reason for asking this is that I'd like the unit in the Living room and the bedroom to have full film access but the one in the 6 year old kiddies bedroom to only have access to the kiddies films (obviously not have access to any films with adult content etc).
It would also be nice to limit access to video only on certain remote MVP's.
I'm running the latest 0214 version of GB-PVR under Windows XP SP2, with a Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 and MVP. I tried this software because I was fed up to the back teeth with the problems I had been having with SnapStream's Beyond TV, especially when the latest version broke everything that had gone before.
Anyway, everything is working extremely well except for some strange behaviour associated with LiveTV through the MVP. When I finish watching Live TV by pressing STOP on the MVP remote, the GB-PVR recording process immediately dies. I only discovered this by mistake when a scheduled recording didn't start up.
It's not a show stopper for me because I hadn't planned on using the LiveTV feature, but I was curious to hear if anyone else had experienced this or could offer a possible cause.
btw Full marks to the GB-PVR developer on a very impressive piece of software. This is already miles better than the dreadful software that ships with the MVP!
Has anyone got the Shutdown plugin working on Windows XP SP2 using the MVP. I get the option on the main menu and can make a selection but then it immediately fails with the error "Privilege not held"
I have tried chaging the run user for the GBPVR recording service to my own User ID (an Administrator); this fixed problems with not being able to access files on network shares in second and subsequent instances of the MVP server, but didn't fix the shutdown problem. I'm not a C# expert and anyway I don't have a copy of VS .Net 2005 with which to try debugging the plugin.
i just spent 2 hours searching google, and i cant seem to find a way to eject a cd/dvd drive in c#. anyone know how to do this?
i need to eject a dvd for the dvd copy method im writing for the moviedb plugin, it creates a dvd iso via dvddecrypter and then i need to eject the dvd and then wait for it to be closed again (i think i can do this with directory.exists method, not sure if it will work on a blank dvd thou) and then open up dvd decrypter again and write the dvd image.
i have to eject the dvd before i open up dvd decrypter again, because if you use the same drive, and a writable dvd isnt in the drive the program will just quit.
i know this isnt really gbpvr related (more C#) but i cant find the answer anywhere and was hoping someone might know.
I'm trying to work out why jukebox plugin doesn't update slider when its on the mvp even though everything is selected in the config screen [which you are not supposed to do] if you're running on the mvp
I have a Samsung NTL STB, which gets very hot.. and I can't ask people to leave it on at all times because of its heat... and I scheduled a few recordings this evening whilst everyone was out...... and they turned it off! So recording 'failed'. If the recording knows it 'failed' then it must know that it is getting no signal, so is there a way to get GB-PVR to send the 'on' IR code for my STB when it tries to record and gets no signal?
Does anyone know any clever Girder trick to accomplish this? In fact, it would be even better if a Girder trick was known, because I'd probably need it to turn the amp off aswell so if I schedule a recording for 3am the sound doesn't suddenly come blaring on (people turn off the STB, realise the sound has gone and (fair enough) leave the amp on because they have no reason to do otherwise!.
Sub, is an event message sent (i.e. no signal?) that would enable me to write my own plugin to fix what may be a very specific problem to me (anyone else?)?
I just installed GB-PVR 2 days ago, as I want to upgrade myHTPC with a nice working EPG software and be able to do season recording, manual recording and actually delete recordings form within my HTPC setup.
GB-PVR seems to do that all - real big Thumbs Up for this software!!
Problem:
I am working with girder as remote device interface.
I do nothing more than emulate keystrokes up, down, right, left for the guide page with it.
Using the keys works perfect, but when I kick in the remote with girder (haven't had a chance to test with other devices) with every event the mouse cursor gets actived AND the tv entry under the mouse gets focus, so I am not able to switch on the page in any direction, cause as soon as I select the next entry mouse kicks in again and set focus back on entry under mouse :-(
Is there any way to prevent the mouse to get active?
Doesn't happen with myHTPC, only in GB-PVR.
I have not the slightest idea why it get active in the first place, as girder only sends keystrokes to the application...
