If Im watching live tv during a time when a scheduled recording is due to start, what will happen? Will it stop the live tv and start recording or will it cancel the scheduled recording?

I've just upload gplasky's new skin for GB-PVR. You can download it form the skins page http://www.gbpvr.com/skins.htm






Thanks Gerry!

It might be good to separate the directories where the recordings and the capture for showshifting is done. I don't really like all the disk access going on while watching live tv and could use a 1 Gig ram disk for this (I think). If there were separate directories you have the option. Maybe the files could be dumped periodically to the hard drive as the ram disk filled up. There may be other advantages to making them separate besides the ramdisk.

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.
