Hi,
When I try to use the Live TV function, I get the message: Video is playing back using TV Out. Press Home to return to menu. When I return, the program is not responding anymore.
What can be wrong?
I am using the 350 card,
thanks,
Mikkel
i want to make it official: i am currently working on a plugin, which allows you to include dvd-profiler-data (collection.xml) in gbpvr. the plugin should have following features:
-configurable source of collection.xml.
-add infos from collection.xml to existing movies on harddrive
-search automatically for new movies and add matching entries from collection.xml
-treat folders with multiple movies (series for example) as folders and folders with only one movie as movie (the information from collection.xml matches folders)
-rename the movies from gbpvr
any suggestions, hints and ideas are welcomed! i am new to c#, but i make rather huge steps forward, collection.xml-information is displayed. wait two or three weeks and i will post a pre-alpha-version of this plugin.
i think, in future it would be nice to have a search-function through your offline/online (means on harddrive) movies, but this is after the first release. this plugin should be used with dvdprofiler from intervocative software, but can also be used without it. if sub wants to help, i could also store information from the epg.
edit: @sub: i don't know, what you are planning for the future, maybe, i implement features, which are already planned. could you please comment on my idea? thanks :-)
Hi,
I am trying to install this great software. I have an Hauppage 350 card wich works great.
How do I know what XMLTV file I should use for the EPG source?
I am not a programmer and do not understand to much of this.
Am I missing something, or is there really no slideshow feature for pictures? It would be really nice to have a good slideshow with transitions etc. Even the one on the Hauppage software is pretty simple.
If anyone knows where/how I can get this feature, please let me know.
Would it be possible to change the action of the video library so that if you clicked on a movie cover and there was only one video file in the folder it played it automatically?
If I set name="TaskImage" visible="true" in the skin.xml for the main menu and the search folder (or a 3rd party plugin folder) doesn't contain a task.png, I get an unhandled exception. I would expect gbpvr to just not show a taskimage, rather than crashing. Below is the full output of the exception:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I don't know how difficult this would be to implpement but it would be quite handy to have the text from the epg written into the same directory as a txt document with the same filename as the recorded video. I.E. :
Frasier.mpg
Frasier.txt
and in Frasier.txt:
"Daphne Does Dinner"
American sitcom about a Seattle-based radio psychiatrist. Niles plans a dinner party to mark the purchase of a new painting he has bought for Daphne. Keen to prevent Frasier taking over the proceedings, he entrusts the cooking and the organisation to his wife, but disaster strikes
I suspect it is a bit late for this, but as a mate was coming back from the US this week, I got him to pick up an MCE 250 on the way, as I thought the FM would be a bonus and I didn't really need the 350's added features.
I live in New Zealand, and had read that someone else had had no problem with a US-sourced board doing PAL, however I suspect I should have done a bit more research, as the picture and sound are garbled/multi-coloured, and the PAL option in the Hauppauge software is PAL-M, rather than the PAL-B we use here. It looks like I'll have to do a long-distance return, but I thought I would (belatedly) check here first for confirmation.
(And I'm using composite in from a Saturn cable box, so the tuning isn't the problem)
