First of all, thanks for a great piece of software.
Would it be possible to allow the user to zoom/crop the image from the capture device? My PVR350 gives me a white line on either side on my image that's very distracting (I don't think it's the card - I suspect it's a problem with the signal from my cable box). Both Got TV and ShowShifter allow me to crop the output so that these lines don't show.
I have an offer, let me know if you are interested. I am one of the people having video out crashes with your software as well as sagetv. I am using an IBM Netvista M41. I have access to the exact motherboard and processor I am using. I would be happy to ship it to you so you can replicate the problem (you stated before you have not seen this happen). I think sage is going to drop the ball on this and I have a lot of faith in your product. If interested I could send:
IBM Netvista M41 motherboard
intel pentium IIII 2g processor
at least 256megs memory
unfortunately i have to go to work sometimes so it would be nice to schedule shows over the web
If this is lowlowlow prority i can look into it (but its also lowlowlow at my side) to create a web site from the tvlistings xml file
I just need to know which parameters needs to get submited to gbpvr?
I downloaded the latest Weather plugin and unzipped it to the plugins folder and now the weather button is not displayed on the main screen. I set it in the configuration and still no button. Is there something I should doing?
I am one of the many people who have trouble with the OSD on the PVR 350 card. I have seen many threads on this subject and it all comes down to a driver problem. The main answer I see on the Forum is that Hauppauge is going to come out with a driver that resolves these problems.
Over the last couple of days I have been able to contact Hauppauge and they stated that they are completely unaware of any video out problems with any software being used with their card and have no plans to make any changes to video out in the next driver release or any other ones.
I am in no way complaining to the SUB (who is doing a unreal job on this project), just though that pvr 350 users should be aware of this. More important, people who are about purchase a pvr 350 card should know this. I hope I am way off but this is what Hauppauge stated to me in an e-mail today.
I'd like to see a pinned thread where sub has the first thread and puts all he features to come and their priority. Exaple:
Feature              Priority     Status            ThreadLink
Xcard OSD blank        High       Fixed for next release  Thread
Widescreen in fullscreen   Medium     -                Threa
Play DVD/VCD          High       -
Plugin OSD (4 callerid etc)  Medium    -                Thread
ScreenSaver           Low       -                Thread
Also one for plugins with plugin assignment for example:
ShutDownPlugin  TypQxQ     <threadlink>
WeatherPlugin   CodeMonkey  <threadlink>
This threads should preferably be closed so pepole don't post a lot of stuff in them.
I'm loading a hashtable for the icons like you suggested and it was working fine. Â Now that I have them all, however, it seems to throw an exception. Â Here is whats in the log:
4/11/2004 3:02:40 PM.010 VERBOSE [2] WeatherTask created
4/11/2004 3:02:40 PM.741 ERROR [2] Error initializing plugin: c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\plugins\WeatherPlugin.dll

 at au..ctor()
4/11/2004 3:02:40 PM.751 VERBOSE [2] CustomTaskSettings.loadAll()
If I comment out some of the icon load statements the exception goes away. Is there some hard limit as to the size of a hashtable?
I am a longtime visual c++ programmer and this is my first venture into C# so forgive the question
