Ok so this is kind of nitpicking. Perhaps if the GB logo were moved up the bottom panel in net radio could be expanded. Some of the titles on songs are getting cutoff. Perhaps if the bottom panel was wider this wouldn't happen. Just a thought

Hey All,

not sure if this has been covered before. What I want to do is to be able to create image buttons on the fly within a plugin. Ie. I don't know the text to be in the image buttons until run-time.

I'm not familiar with the .NET environment, but the only thing I can think of is to have a generic image button with no label. Then when its rendered on screen, simply do a DrawString of the text over the button, creating the effect of an already created button.

If this is a half-assed way of doing things and there is a simple and easy method of doing this, please point it out to me

Cheers,
Colin.

Hi,

When I play one MP3 song, everything is fine. When I start a second one when the first isn't finished yet, they play both at the same time! I expect the program to finish the first and start the second. Or am I wrong? Didn't test with videos yet!

I was wondering Sub, if you have the ability to put DVD playback for the Xcard in to GBPVR. I just got an Xcard and would love to have PVR and DVD playback in the same system. And while I'm at it, do you think MPEG4 would be out of the question?

I'm surprised not to see this anywhere in here, but since I'm about to buy a TV Card, I thought I would get some input as to who's card to buy or avoid.

Maybe from a cost/performance perspective.

Personally, cost is an issue since I'd like set up a system with a couple cards.

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a pixelview TV@P7000 card which apparently uses the Roslyn/blackbird chip and I noticed on the front page that it states GB-PVR supports the card. So I'm wondering if anyone has experience of the card and if so how well is it supported in GB-PVR i.e can I use the remote to control GB-PVR?
Thanks in advance.

I now have a rather large collection of movies/shows recorded.
The hauppage remote scrolling is quite slow ( the keyboard is fast )
the Folder organisation is great, but with a long list, its pretty still pretty slow.

at the simplest level, just using the numbers in a 'phone like' manner ( 1=ABC 2=DEF etc ) to jump alphabetically down the list.
better would be a autocompleting popup or temporary filter
ie start typing the name & it autocompletes with the matched name

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.
