Under the Directories tab, I added a 'custom task' for a dvd decryptor executable. It worked fine until I changed the description field to :

Decrypts DVD's

When I pressed OK I got a unhandled exception:

Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression "Decrypts DVD's', hide_and_show='N' where oid=1'

My guess is, it didn't like the ' in the description

I'm starting to look at enhancing the current weather plugin. I want to add buttons and screens for current condition, extended forecast, tomorrows forecast, radar, and todays forecast. I think I have a grip on how to code it up. But do all the skins have to be modified to add the new buttons?

Helo, I just discovered this piece of software while searching for a .net pvr program, as I'm a .net developer. I've been running JovePlayer on my X-Card for the last year and I was searching for something new last week, since then I've been trying to get MythTv to work as I want to.

Anyway, this program looks nice, BUT...

I can't find a setting to make it widescreen....

I use my pvr computer connected to a widescreen projector trough vga, and most of the DVD's an movies I have are widescreen. In all other programs there is a widescreen option, but I can't seem to find one here...

Also, JovePlayer is able to output all sound trough the SPDIF of the XCard, I can't seem to find any passtrough option for AC3. I guess this could be done with a DShow filter, but I´m not sure....

Anyway, great program, I'd love to do some plugins and stuff if I can get the basic functionality working...

If there is a way to pass trough the ac3 audio to a Live card, that would do

I just saw that u can resize the window and make it wider, if I'd be able to put the screen resolution.... I have to test this, anyway , great program!

(Why is it called GB-PVR?)

Im using PVR-350 with the S Video out to my television. For some reason I'm getting a blank screen when playing DivX files. Works fine on the computer screen. Do I need to set the codec to DivX somehow in GBPVR?

Hello,
I have come accross the following situation and I wonder if there is some idea as a workaround.
I have installed GBPVR v.15 on WinXP and WinTV on PVR-350(latest drivers)
It seams it works OK except from the following.
If I schedule a record at around 1:00 in the morning (using WinTV scheduler), it never starts.
( I am not in the position to tell you that I have search it a lot, because of Easter vacations - I have not checked your built-in recorder and it does not happen at other times of the day)...but I wonder...

I know that automatic updating of TVguide is done some time at night...but as I live in Greece I do not have this option(no xml here).

The question is:
1) do you think this "no recording" situation has something to do with automatic updating?
2) when updating is run?
3) Is it possible to disable it?
4) where can I find the command line options of GBPVR program?

Thanks in advance,
P.S. I wish you happy Easter.....

I unzipped it to the proper place, but it does not appear as a choice in the configurator. Looking at it closer, it is missing a 'main menu' directory. I suspect this is why it doesn't show up inthe configurator?

Currently gb-pvr imports the xml file automatically.  I would like to see that extended to also run the xmltv app to get the xml file.   Having it done with a windows scheduler or some other ad-hoc method seems prone to error and confusion.

Just want to make sure I have this straight.
(I'm in north america)

I run xmltv tv_grab_na --configure

xmltv creates a .conf file

I run xmltv tv_grab_na > whatever.xmltv

Then in gb-pvr configuration I point to whatever.xmltv

If this is correct, am I responsible for periodically updating the .xmltv file myself somehow so that it can get imported into gb-pvr at 3 or 4 am?  Or am I missing a step?

Hi Graeme,

Currently using a donor Celeron 500 machine with PVR350 which seems to work ok (apart from the odd crash mentioned in other post), but considering upgrading to the new Asus DigiMatrix.

I believe it comes with a "Life View FlyTV Platinum mini card"  - the tuner is based on the SAA7135 chip. TV-Out is provided by the SiS315 graphics core and the SiS301 chipset.

Is there any reason why GBPVR would not work with this?

Ta!

I left my computer on last night and was surprised this morning to find my HD completely full! I found a 20+ gigabyte file in my GBPVR recording directory which was obviously the cause, but the weird thing was that I did not have the GB-PVR application running. I did however find that the GBPVR RecordingService was still active.

Is it normal for GBPVR to "record" while GB-PVR isnt even running?

Thanks
