Hi,

Would it be an idea to have an option "shutdown after recording" for each recording? That way the PC is not unnecessary on.
In the same line it could be useful to schedule a shutdown via the recordingservice. Like shutdown everyday at say 0:30, except when recording, then shutdown after recording is finished.

BTW I have a windows scheduled task to shutdown at 0:45, however, it doesn't work after a recording...

Hi,

Yesterday I recorded a movie and everything looked allright. When the recording stopped, however, the pc hung and did so quite badly, only power off/on worked. GBPVR told me the recording had failed, but I wanted to play the file. So in the recordings window, I clicked OK on the failed recording and immediately clicked OK again... but that deleted the file...

Two things:
1. what could be the cause of this hanging at the end of a recording (I had experienced this once or twice before).
2. could it be an idea to reverse the exit and delete buttons in the details view of a failed recording? The chance of accidentally deleting a file is reduced that way.

Greetings,
MaBo

I'm using the WinTVCap plugin to schedule recordings in v0.16  The first recording scheduled since the GBPVR recording service starts records fine, but all future recordings fail (until the service is restarted).

The end of my gbpvrrecordingservice.exe.log file is provided below.  The last three lines of the log file repeat until the service is restarted.  Let me know if you'd like me to send the entire log file, or if there's anything else you need to know.

Hi Sub,
As i can't get reliable playback with the OSD on the PVR 350 card, I am considering adding the Sigma card to my rig.

can you give me a run down of how well this card is working with GBPVR ??
I know there have been a number of issues with the operation of the 350 card & the OSD ( with GB PVR & Sage ) So i think there may be a fundamental HW issue there.. )

thanks

Chuck

Hey All,

I have a basic email plugin writen for getting pop3 mail. Its very basic at the minute but I want to write it in a way so that people can simply get their email, read the contents and view images. Other attachments could be viewed dependent upon other plugins available.

I'm thinking of showing who its from and the subject line. The body of the message will be shown and the user will have the option of viewing image attachments if they exist.

Once I get it that far I'll send out a pointer to dll and src code.

Cheers,
Colin.

I think the mediaMVP needs a good documentation to get people started. I am willing to do one, if it is not already done and just not published on the web.

Any suggestion/comments?

Must have missed this somewhere but...

How do I pause, FF , etc in liveTV using the keyboard?

Sub,
I recorded a 1 hr show last night and this morning when I checked it, the OSD reported the length to be 00:01:50. The recorded file is actually the full hour long. I also recorded a 30 minute show last night and its' length was reported at 00:31:56. This should be correct since the pre and post padding are both set to 1 min. The other thing that may or maynot mean anything is that I have my recording quality set to 1.8GB/Hr because I'm using a wireless MVP, but the 1 hr recording was only 1,363,000 KBs in size.

The problem with the incorrect length is that if you try to skip forward and go past the 00:01:50 time, the playback stops and sometimes the client hangs. I was using rel 16 for both the recordings and playback tests. I know in the past you said you were having trouble calculating or reading time stamps, so I didn't know if you had fixed anything or not in rel 16.

Thanks,

Hi Sub,

First of all, thanks for all your hard work.

I searched the forum and noticed that this has been dealt with before, but I don't know what the current state is. I have two PVR-250s in my system and last night I tried the following:

I scheduled a recording of channel A from 22:00 - 22:30, and a recording of channel B from 22:10 - 22.20. When I checked afterwards I found two recordings available: one of channel A from about 22:00 - 22.10, and another one also of channel A (and not B) from about 22:10 - 22.20.

Please let me know if you need more info to fix this.

Regards,

Jan

When clicking on TV Guide from the main menu, I get this error poping up in a dialog box inside GBPVR:
