I´m looking for a commandline application that can accept a string as input and the overlay it over video being sent to an X-card.

I´m using zoomplayer as my mediaplayer and would like to display messages on my TV over the video from the X-card using a commandline like this:

application_name.exe -mess: Hello World

Is this even possible? Perhaps some of the programmers on this board an help?

regards,

wetwired

First i've got to say: Great Work!
Your software is much better than the software that came with my PVR-350.

But i've run into a problem. Using the software on my PC, everything is working okay. I can also see the menu at the Media MVP, and select the program guide.

But when I try to play a mpeg / mp3 / live tv from the media MVP, I get a .NET socket error at my PC, causing the mediaMVP to lose the connection:

' Geen toegang tot een verwijderd object met de naam System.Net.Sockets.Socket.'
which is Dutch for 'no access to a deleted object with name 'System.Net.Sockets.Socket'.

It also says something like: System.ObjectDisposedException socket

After this error i've got to restart the mvp server.
I tried to reinstall the .Net framework but that didn't make any difference.

Maybe you've got a clue what the problem is.
Thanks!

Setup:
HP PVR-350
HP Media MVP
WINXP

A friend just pointed out there is a thread on GB-PVR on the forums at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb today. Currently there are 16 posts, with no one really saying anything other than its annoying it requires the 23mb .net runtime to be installed. Oh well...I guess you cant please everyone.

it would be nice to press 1 0 7 enter and have it change to channel 107.

This has probably already been suggested... but I didn't see it anywhere.

To install the plugin, you need to copy the Pictures directories into the appropriate skins subdirectories (and the dll into the plugins directory).  Remember to configure the plugin to specify your images directory.

Any comments or suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks sub for enabling the remaining remote control buttons!

hi @all,

first, i will say "thanks for this great tool". installation and configuration are very simple and works perfect. i'm looking forward to integrate "GBPVR" in my myHTPC installation and writing a german manual for this. but ... while i configure "GBPVR" i miss the following things:

- control all parts with keyboard (for example: show/activate menue-control in video-libary, change channels by num-keys ...) ... because i would like to control "GBPVR" by Girder
- translate all parts of "GBPVR" (for example: menue descriptions, menu headlines ...). maybe it is possible to extract all parts into a language-file?

Question: i would like to use my PVR-350 without the PVR-350 TV-Out. Is it possible? I like to use the tv-out of my graphiccard (Matrox G400). But it's doesn't work.

Greetz,
Jan

subs and anyone with a Media MVP....

OK managed to "borrow" a Media MVP for a few days. Installed the Media MVP software on the gbpvr box. Cabled the media MVP up and powered the baby on. Got the Videos/Pictures etc menu on the TV. So connectivity wise everything seems ok.

So what next then? How do I get gbpvr on my TV via MediaMVP. I've been through the docs and the config.xml and I guess I'm being a bit dumb if it's as easy as subs suggested.

Any help (instructions) would be appreciated.

Hi,

after installing the upgrade to DirectX 9.0b on Win XP the IR remote control does not work correctly anymore. The up/down arrow keys of the standard Hauppauge ir rc do not do their job anymore.

Has anyone seen similar? I fortunately could go back a step and deinstall the new Direct X version.

I've pretty much finished my diskspace plugin, I went on holiday which rather stoped development for a while but got back to it at the weekend. I'm using it OK but I'm sure others will be able to break it for me

Sub, you talked about supporting a method NeedsRegularRendering(), did you add suport for this and if so, is diskspace the kind of thing it ought to be used for and how often does it get called. I think it would be good to see your diskspace going down if a recording is taking place, an update once per minute would probably be enough.

I've been reading the posts about other plugins and I'm gonna do a bit more work on making it cope if skin files dont exist but then it will be ready for others to use. Some time later this week hopefully.

Shall I email to you sub so that it can go onto your site?

I cannot get the Weather Plugin in config app to "check". Did not work for me in .15e or .16.

Weather plugin zip was unzipped to "\program files\devnz\GBPVR\" and the weatherplugin.dll ended up in the "\program files\devnz\GBPVR\plugins" directory.

BTW - .16 works great, fixed my issues with MediaMVP!
