GBPVR "Recording" - strange errors

[venkman]

I'm using the latest build 97.9 with .net 2.0 and xrecord plugin (the last one shouldn't make a diff, still..). I am running into an issue where every time I click on Recording (the default one from GBPVR) I get an "Error: Out of Memory" and I cannot click on the "OK" button that comes with it. The only way to click is to use the mouse or close the entire app.

here's a snippet of the gbpvr.exe.log file, I am not sure exactly what's going on but it looks like it is unable to render an image. I've tried the "repair" option in the 97.9 to see if it restored some missing file and it still gives me the same error.

Anybody have a clue?
thanks!

Are you using the default "Blue" skin, or any other skin?

[venkman]

skin: yes I am using the default blue skin. I also deleted the Recording folder under skin/Blue directory and repaired the install to see if the newly created folder had anything better in it - no luck there either.

GBPVRRecordings.exe.log: this file contains no errors or warnings just information on scheduled items ("checking" this and that..)

The only thing that I've done that could be not "normal" is I ran into a lot of problems with the 97.9 upgrade and ended up having to do a very long drawn out export-import from my old gbpvr.mdb to the one in the new install. I don't believe this error has to do with that though.

And I just found out that my Video Library (default plugin) is behaving exactly the same way *IF* I use the show-icon option instead of directory list. in fact if I set config to use icon view for media then it bombs right away. However if I switch it off and go through the remote and turn the icon view back on it works but only until the program directory is reached..
so if my main dir options are "TVRecord" , "Archive", and "Downloads" then it shows the three items with the icon view but as soon as I select TVRecord, it goes out of memory. ALso probably as consequence it loses keyboard and remote control parsing (best I can describe because mouse is the only thing that works and even arrow keys do not allow you to select a different button).

Also, another note I have the video archiver plugin and xrecord, and these dont seem to have issues with the icon mode and are able to display the folder image.

this is the log from gbpvr.exe.log (i took out all the adding key business when it sets up the video library before this error came up)

Hmm... I don't think I can help with this one... try checking with sub after his vacation if you haven't been able to solve it by then.

[venkman]

thanks anyways, I think i have an idea, I'm going to remove the gbpvr.mdb and let it create the "vanilla" one and see if that makes a difference.. I know it sounds weird that I'm connecting the db with the image render issue, but its gut feeling that somehow that is the issue.
Is there any way to check the integrity of the database?

[stefan]

I'm not aware of such a tool... you haven't converted to sql lite yet? If you haven't (which I guess you don't, since you talk about gbpvr.mdb (unless you do out of habit )), you could (after a proper backup of your old .mdb) try converting it with the tool for converting. I assume it would fail if your database is messed up.

[venkman]

duhhh i don't know ...
first time I heard of sqlite .. gbpvr is been working so good that I sometimes don't feel like updating.. I looked up this forum for sqlite.. i found most of the info.. can't wait to get back from work to test this out.
thanks !

I finally tracked down the bug-ger! Somehow one of the folder.jpg files was corrupt. I could not load the files into any viewer. Once I removed this file everything was happy again!
So the "rendering" errors had to do with the folder.jpg in icon view - which now makes sense.
The database was transfered over successfully without errors.
Thanks for the help!

Great to hear -- I was having the same exact problem with the DVD2MPEG that comes with Video Archiver. My solution was to not show DVD2MPEG in the menu (I rarely use it anyways).
