Sub. Whats required to write a channel changer plugin? I have a directv (sat tv in the states) receiver that can be controlled by a serial connection and was thinking of adding that changer.

Just come across GB-PVR and it looks ahem... the nuts. Here's what I'm looking for, If someone can tell me if GBPVR will satisfy my requirements, I'll defect from the #### that is my current myHTPC setup. (Big respect to the meedio massive though it's a top prog).

Before I start here's my rig details...

WinTV PVR350
PACE Sky Digital STB connected to PVR350 via tuner/rf socket
Win XP Home SP1
Shuttle SN41G2
USB UIRT
Girder

Here's what I and the wife (oh god must keep her happy) want to be able to do...

1) LiveTV - with easily configurable channel changing on STB
2) Pause/Rewind Live TV like Sky+
3) Integrated EPG (I'm familiar with Xmltv)
4) Scheduled Recording
5) Season Tickets would be nice too
6) DVD Playback from DVD drive (don't use ripped files)
7) Music module to playback Windows Media Player music library

A couple of questions while I'm at it:

Does the EPG update automatically via windows scheduled tasks? or via a service?
Do I have to teach GBPVR my sky remote commands or use girder?

Thanks for any help with my quest in advance

Hi,

I have a Mini ITX PC a EPIA CL6000, the menu performance is really bad so I'm looking to upgrade it.

I want to stick with the Mini-ITX format and I was just wondering if anyone could share their experience with the EPIA MII 10000 (C3) and performance with menus, also the performance when used with a MediaMVP.

Also probably not the best place to ask, as they come with a fan for the processor does this increase the noise signifcantly ?

Any help at all would be most benificial.

Thanks in advance

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,

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.
