Hi,

now I've connected a DVB-C-Box to my WinTV-PVR.
With the IR-Channel-Changer it can select the right channel.

But here in germany it is not possible to deaktivate the parental-control.
When a movie is classified with FSK, I must enter a 4 digits-Pin.
I'm very angry because my recording only contains the pin-windw of the box.

In the EPG-Data I've included the FSK-Code (there is for example the text FSK12).
This information should be sent to the channel changer. So Girda can send the pin-code and the recording is ok.

Is it possible to integrate this ?

A simple implementation should send one xmltv-element as parameter to the channel-changer.

A good implementation should recognise this pin-window and then send the pin-code.

I've created a simple Delphi-Program that get's every 5 seconds a WinTV-Screenshow. If there is a pin-Windows, it sends the pin-code.

This would be a killer-feature for all the german PayTV-User.


Thanks, Sebastian

Thanks for the app my friend! Finally I can record all those episodes of Good Eats and burn them to DVD without MythTV. I was really getting frustrated with it.

One thing I would like to see is an "Always on Top" option, maybe on the right click menu when you right click on the taskbar icon. I like to have the pvr showing a TV when I am doing some work on the 'puter. It would be nice if the TV window stayed on top of other windows so I could still run them in focus with a little TV box in the bottom right corner on top, but out of focus. Did I explain that clearly?

Ok, few issues with net radio.

I'll start with the easy one, here's a list of currently "broken" default stations (and yes, I know it's not your fault I'm just bringing these to your attention so they can hopefully be fixed for the next release)

virgin radio
music one
groove salad
pirate radio
smoothjazz.com

Minor issue #2, radiostorm is listed twice for some strange reason, but with 2 listings, POP TOP40 and NOW! The net's hit music channel. But they both play the same thing, I don't get the point of that.

Ok now for the fun part, remember the old apostrophe bug? Well, now at the end of the song title on (almost) every station, guess what, there's an apostrophe! For example (from the "digitally imported" station):

Chicane feat. Marie Brennan - Salt Water'
Noemi - In My Dreams'

Those trailing ' don't belong there.

Ok, enough b-tching, add these to your list of things to fix

First of all: GBPVR is a great Job!

I will try not to make too many words. I guess the developers do not have too much time to read smalltalk.

Here is my wishlist (maybe some are already posted before. but I hope it may be useful)

- Do not delete the settings after deinstallation of GBPVR. Would make updates easier. Channel Settings should be saved anyway. Don't want to loose Weather location after update...etc...

-Add Scrollbars to the EPG Information in the TV Guide. It does not fit to the screen in many cases.

-Let the user decide when the EPG Update will be done. Not between 3:00 and 4:00 in the Morning.

-Make it possible to display EPG Infos on the screen while watching.

-A channel Search would be great... Today I must use another TV-Software to browse the channels

-A short description of all possible Keys to press. If possible OSD...

-A newsletter for the users (That's me!. I would like to be informed when there is something new.


At last: Do You keep track of all the wishes? Do You have some kind of official Wishlist?
If You do NOT have it: I would offer to create one with a simple interface, so that Your moderators can simplay keep it up to date without double entries...
email me...

Thanx 4 everything.

Are their any plans to add a pinnicle or ati capture cards.

I haven't looked at the PVR in several days due to the holiday here. Now I look and I have 7 failed recordings and I can't delete them. Running v0.18l, and this is the first time I've had this problem with 18l. Now what?

Okay only 2 issues but annoying none the less.
1) MPEG4(divx/xvid) and Occasionaly MPEG2 Playback appears in an Active Movie window even though everything else is set up as full screen

2) when movies/live tv is playing correctly in full screen the on screen controlls (when I move the mouse/use the remote) replace the video with a black background.

Any help would be great, other than that its a kick-ass PVR.

Is there a way to set the default size and position for video playback in GB-PVR? This is a killer feature seen in Media Portal (which has a nice front end to set it up, but the more simple number pad solution from Media Player Classic would be fine as long as the position was remembered).

The reason why I ask is my graphics card has a large chunk of image off the top of the screen. It would be nice to be able to correct for its rather enthusiastic overscanning and scale + position the screen image correctly.

Media Player Classic and Media Portal are both GPL if you want reference code to put this in.

Sub,

Version 18 is running nicely and without large problems. There are a few things that I like to mention:
1/ I start gbpvr from myhtpc as fullscreen; in the config app I deselected windowed mode. However an empty band remains above the gbpvr window, about the size of the top window edge/taskbar. If i press fullscreen twice on the remote this band disappears. Also, the window is stuck behind the taskbar a bit.
Ideally, gbpvr would cover the taskbar and expand over the entire screen (800x600, that is).
2/ Every now and then when playing a recorded movie, the system goes to standby. The interesting thing is that until the computer resumes, the picture on the tv-out stays sharply frozen. When the pc resumes, the movie runs as nothing had happened...
3/ What does SBE mean? And how does it help me?

Greetz,
MaBo

It would also be nice if it supported Vorbis (*.ogg)
