I noticed that in the TV Guide you can go through the guide faster by using the keyboard’s page up and page down buttons and was wondering if it would be possible to do this using the Hauppauge/Media MVP remote using buttons other than ch+/ch-?

Thanks for any help on this.

I’m using XML Automate to grab TV Listings and I have the GBPVR v.13.
The only time my TV Guide updates the listings from my XML file is if I go into the configuration program and click the “Update EPG” button. Is this the only way to update the TV listings in GBPVR? Or is there some command I could add to the XML Automate bat file?

Thanks for any help on this.

When I'm listening to music, I sometimes file like making a custom playlist for the mood I'm in. Then a queue-song option would be nice. (Perhaps even save playlist..., but that's far less important.)

Another thing, as my music and video libraries grow, they get nested more and more. It would be nice when the back button on the remote could be used to go up one directory.

Thanks sub for all your great work!

Sub,
I have just made a disturbing discovery concerning GB-PVR's frontend unusually high memory usage. First off I would like to mention that I would expect a program like this to take up a descent amount of memory due to its display type. The problem was dicovered when I opened windows task manager and noticed that the usage for the frontend just slowly creeping up every time I would enter a sub menu exit and then enter it again etc. This would prove to be a problem after long use of the Frontend.

It is a little hard to put my problem into words but being some what versed in programming it seems like your class destructors are not working or not implimented or something to this affect.

Also before catching the problem it caused many crashes due to memory being way too low, like down below the 10,000KB range.

Again sorry for this winded posting but it seems I may have found a bug worthing of correcting.

Thanks,
Rock

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone else has the same issues as me. I have tried everything to get this sorted but haven't had any luck.

The Problem

When watching Video Clips or Live TV on the MVP using any version of GBPVR inlcuding .13 as soon as I try to ff or rw or go to the menu I get a black screen and nothing works except the power button on the remote. When the menu loads up again after returning from the powered down state the remote still does not work except the power button. This happens for both recording sources Direct and WinTV cap.

I often get this error coming up on the PC in a .NET framework window when this happens:

************** Exception Text **************
System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object named "System.Net.Sockets.Socket".
Object name: "System.Net.Sockets.Socket".
  at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Send(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags)
  at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Send(Byte[] buffer)
  at ab.a(Boolean A_0)
  at ab.d(Image A_0)
  at a.a()
  at a.g()
  at ab.b(Object A_0, EventArgs A_1)
  at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.OnTick(EventArgs e)
  at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr idEvent, IntPtr dwTime)

This video playback behaviour doen't occur in the Official MediaMVP client software.

What I have tried

I have tried everything to my knowledge I have gone to Windows 2000 then back to XP on each trying official and latest beta drivers for both Hauppage PVR 250 and the MediaMVP.

Currently I am on v 0.13 of GBPVR and 22035 CD package from SHSPVR for the PVR250 and 22050 version for the MediaMVP running on Win XP SP1 with latest .NET framework installed and latest MDAC.

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated as It currently unusable for me as each time I watch an Mpeg I have to got to the PC and restart the GBPVR MVP server.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Sub, Love the work you are doing, keep it up.

As the PVR-350 has support for FM Radio, it would be nice to have a FM tuner (and maybe recording?) application included in this excellent program

Can anyone tell me if GB-PVR supports e.g. WMA? This would be nice, as all my music is encoded in WMA...

Sub,

13 is looking great. I Remember a while back you were looking into ways of speeding up the channel changing. Have you had any luck on this yet?

Hi,
As I told a little while ago I've started programming a script to convert telektext program information into xmltv that can be imported by for instance gbpvr.

Well, version 0.8 is ready and can be downloaded  here.

Please note that it is still _very_rough_ and that you _have_to_read_the_readme_file! Some editing is required as described in the readme file. Also vtplus properly setup and running is required. Please note the names of the stations!

Known issues:
-the titles may become very long in several cases. GBPVR cuts them.
-there is no batchfile to run the process fully automatically. Please experiment first whether everything runs fine.

Sub, a question: how save is it to have gbpvr running and then execute the command "gbpvr -OnlyUpdateEPG" from somewhere else to update the EPG?

Greetings and fun with this tooly,
MaBo

Is there a way to change the size of the visible channels located in the skin.xml located in the TV Guide directory?

It will let me change the number of channels listed from 7 but I don’t see a place to change the size value.  Thanks for any help on this.

Here is what I have right now:
<SpecialElements>
<SpecialElement id="Guide" loc="50,80" visibleChannels="7"/>
<SpecialElement id="TimePeriods" loc="50,48" />
<SpecialElement id="SelectedProgrammeTitle" loc="120,385" size="540,30"/>
<SpecialElement id="SelectedProgrammeDesc" loc="120,410" size="540,80"/>
<!-- popup -->
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;ProgrammePopupButtons&quot; loc=&quot;35,135&quot;/&gt;
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;ProgrammePopupTitle&quot; loc=&quot;170,140&quot; size=&quot;440,20&quot;/&gt;
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;ProgrammePopupDesc&quot; loc=&quot;170,170&quot; size=&quot;475,50&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/SpecialElements&gt;
