See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

it would be nice to be able to enter a description for manual recordings. Also a minute time increment (instead of 10 minutes). And of course, recurring recordings, not just "once".

Thanks

I have a MediaMVP and a Leadtek 2000XP Deluxe Tuner Card.

Should the PVR work for me via MediaMVP? If not for life TV, for playback of captured MPEG's?

Thanks!

I'm having problems tuning the tuner to the right frequencies.  Here in Belgium my cable operator uses frequencies instead of channel numbers.  I'm also a Sage TV user and I had the same problem there.  This is how I solved it in Sage:

I added some registry keys:
hkey local machine/software/mirosoft/tv system services/tvautotune
TS0-0
and TS0-1

with a list of channel - freq mappings:
1 203250000 (this would be 203,25Mhz) TV1 in Belgium
2 62250000 (this would be 622,25Mhz) Canvas in Belgium
...

This did the trick in SageTV, can I do something similar in GB-PVR?
I really want to check out your MediaMVP support, I think sage will have it too in the future but you guys seem to be faster in implementing it, looks promising...

Whenu using XMLTV and bringing it into your program I notce the channel numers are in order 1,2,3,4 but the Channel listings are in the order 10,11,12,13......28,29,2,30,31. The only way I can fix it is manually changing the channel numbers. Does anyone else have this issue? U.S. listings I am using.

Hey Sub,

results based on you changes:

- Fixed a bug with file starting with \ in m3u playlists
Never had this problem for some reason? Maybe depends on what patches, etc. is installed on your machine

- Ctrl-B (or blue remote button) toggles between icon and list view in the media libraries

Ctrl-B works, blue button does not.

- Added *.vob to the filter string of the video media.

Yip, this works. Generated a new dvd structure using TmpgEnc DVD author and GB-PVR plays it. Well lets face it, it is an mpeg2 of sorts

- Fixed the bug with playing music then playing a video. Caused white box with red cross to appear

Yip, fixed - thanks.

- Small correction to apifix.dll that may help livetv stability.

Live tv is getting better. Think we need to figure out a better debug method to help you narrow down the root of the problem.

All in all, a pretty stable release. Nice!

Colin.

Hi,

Client/ Server support would be great. I have an HTPC setup with the PVR250 on a server tucked away in my study.

It would be cool to stream live TV (with PVR type functionality) from the server to the (mini itx) client.

Cheers

The next release (v0.0.9) is now available for download from http://www.gbpvr.com/Setup009.exe

The principal changes are:

2003-1-11 v0.0.9
- Fixed a bug that was stopping folder.jpg being used in the media libraries.
- Fixed a bug with file starting with \ in m3u playlists
- Ctrl-B (or blue remote button) toggles between icon and list view in the media libraries
- Now showing more (also smaller) items/icons in icon view of the music library. These are now closer to the aspect ration of album covers
- Added *.vob to the filter string of the video media. Successfully played a dvd .vob off my hard drive without any other modification. Surely there is more to it. You'll need to use something like some like DVD Shrink to extract to HDD, with correct language otherwise its luck of the draw. (obviously wont work with Intervideo NonCSS decoder, and PVR350 - sorry)
- Fixed the bug with playing music then playing a video. Caused white box with red cross to appear.
- Corrected a bug that was causing MediaMVP not to reshow the menus after video playback completed.
- Corrected a bug with MP3 playback on the MediaMVP.
- Small correction to apifix.dll that may help livetv stability.
- Lots of other small things.

This might need a bit more thought to it (as it would it be bl**dy irritating!

Given that the menus are an OSD in front of black.mpg, could you have a different mpeg specified, and only render the buttons required on top of it (I think this is similar to the way DVD navigators work).

You'd probably only want to do this with the main menu but it would be nice

Cheers,
Andy
