Finally the last glitch:
I thought I had figured it out but apparently I didn't.
My DVD decoder is the X-card.
When I click on DVD in GB-PVR menu I get a black screen and GB-PVR freezes.
With a VCD/SVCD it says "media not found" or something like that.
Config points to the x-card and in config. xml the player (D is configured correctly.
When I play the same disc (either dvd or vcd) with Xmedia (front end of the X-card) it plays allright.
Anyone any suggestions?

cheers,

Hey Sub,

how do you restart this service now? if i add or remove plugins these are not seen until this service is restarted. Restarting the recording service does not solve it - actually hitting exit on the MVP menu restarted the service, but i had removed the "Exit" button on this,

cheers,
Colin.

I wrote a little tool if you want to export the recordings information from one machine's database and import it in to someone else's database.

If there is any interest in this I will send it to sub to post.

This can be useful if you want to send a recording from one machine to another. I have a C# xml driven ftp client that can be used to script that as well. It is not fully tested but does appear to work.

Hi,

Just installed GBPVR yesterday and here is a list of things that I missed of functionality (or maybe I just don't know how to make it work )

1. Adding a "cover" picture to your movie recordings

2. Adding Covers to mp3 albums. I usually organise my mp3's with a directory for each album. A suggestion would be to have an jpg or gif file with the name "cover" that GBPVR would automatically load as cover.

3. In music library it could be nice to configure the amount of directories/albums to display per page. Just like google have how many results you would like to display per page.

4. Search function in Music library

5. DVD menu controls. I tried to play a DVD and could not get the player to skip to next chapter, pause, stop, resume, etc...

BTW: How do you configure remote buttons. Is it based on keyboard bindings or? In case of keyboard bindings, where are they defined?


Will be back with more

When I watch TV using GB PVR on my PVR 350 TV-out, I see a white horizontal line at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes (depending on the TV channel) it's a bit flickering. When I use the TV-out of my onboard video, the problem is gone due to different margins and/or overscan.

Is there a way to adjust this on the PVR 350? The TV image is slightly too close to the top of the screen. Using MythTV and ivtv on Linux the problem does not exist, so I guess it must be controllable by software.

Any clue?

just wondering what the best setup(software side) is for a pc that will just running pretty much GB-PVR and thats it, like which boots quicker win2k or winxp, if anyone has any hints/tips to make the boot up process quicker etc.

hi,

i am from germany and i have a problem with the language.xml.

in nearly every menu the language could be changed, but e.g. in the weather plugin no changes are working.

e.g. forecast=Vorhersage , i typed it in the xml, but it didn't work.

does anyone has the same problem?

how can change the english into german in the weather plugin?

thx a lot

Is it correct that the port number can only be changed via editing the config.xml file? My port number is always grayed out in the config utility.

I'm up and running and LOVE GBPVR. However, I'm having a problem that I cannot, again (as usual), tackle.

I made a recording which is about 5.9 Gig. I would like to burn it and make either a VCD or convert it to make a DVD (I'll compress it more to lower the file size). It plays just fine on my computer using either GBPVR or Windows media player. But, no other program will let me burn or use it. I get the error message of something like "Cannot be Opened or Supported".

I'm thinking it has to do with the MPG format. Sooooo....I guess I need to know what Codec was used to record or what format the file is in?.....is it MPG2, MPG4? Heck, I'm not sure where to start. ANy help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Peetem
