When calling up the weather plugin, this gets displayed:


<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

This is what shows up in the log:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

I've just found this promising application and have been trying to get it functioning on my HTPC. I've found that if I enable the IR200L remote control plugin to try and control my digital satellite receiver that the GBPVR recording service locks up when you try to view the television feed. Choosing live tv or using the guide and choosing watch both result in the lockup. I have to stop the service which results in GBPVR throwing a &quot;cannot connect to service&quot; error but at least it then continues.

Anyone successfully using an IR200L with GBPVR?

PS - While I understand why you leave the recording service recording (easiest way to accomodate time shifting for live tv) I find that the service runs at 60% CPU utilization or higher constantly. Is this expected and/or do you think there may be any optimizations done to lower the CPU usage? Ideally it would be very nice to have the option to stop the service from recording when the user isn't actually viewing live tv or recording a program, but isn't 100% necessary if the CPU utilization could come down some.

Thanks for a great product, it has a lot of potential.

Hi,

in the new release I can view a video while recording it on the media-mvp-box.

When I try to do the same directly at the PC, nothing happens.
Is this correct ?

Another idea for gbpvr is a record button while viewing live-tv. So I could directly record the program that I see. (Like the WinTV-Software).

Thanks for help!

Hi,

When I start GBPVR configuration I get the following error from the .NET Framework:

&quot;An unhandled exception has occured in your application.
The .Net Data OLE DB Provider(System.Data.OleDb) requires Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC) version 2.6 or later.
Version 2.53.6200.0 was found currently installed.&quot;

I have installed .Net Framework 1.1

Similarly when I click OK in the config util I get another error:
&quot;Object reference not set to an instance of an object&quot;

Anyone else get this problem?

Thanks
Andy

Now that GBPVR is progressing nicely and functionality is really good, some visual enhancements would be neat and tidy things up.

e.g. like when you push live tv a loading bar comes up till live tv kicks in.

I personally think it would make the GUI alot more polished (and wife proof, she pushes everything multiple times)

But I am aware of the ever growing list of things to do, so maybe for some time down the road.

Keep up the good work

Hi,

the new version is very very very very fine.
No crash, very fast... :-)

Now I've a question about the web-interface. When I call http://locahost:7647/, I get this error:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.

How can I patch this problem ?

Thanks!

Hello,

How feasible would it be to have flash , gif or .mng animation in skins? Im not suggesting a skin resembling a live circus, but something subtle that allowed buttons and backgrounds to change color over time to alleviate the problem of burn-in....

Could also make a highlighted option/button more visible on a tv screen.

Just a thought?

Hi all,

the new version is said to work without MVP-Hauppauge-software (great!! ) but with DHCP server.

So if I want to use a notebook &amp; MVP as a mobile system, I have to enable ICS on the notebook to get it working?

Hi,

is anybody else seeing this or is it specific to my system ? Trying to remove a capture source in the configuration app will delete it - but the next time I go into the configuration app it's there again ;-O
