Error of "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Boolean' to type 'System.String'"

[topster]

Hi Sub,

I'm seeing an error I'm hoping you can help. I searched the forums but didn't find anything useful.

This is happening in 0.98.08. I didn't try the .13 release as I didn't see this symptom mentioned in the release notes.

It happens when I'm watching live TV, and try to record a show either by hitting the record button on my remote, or Ctrl-K from my keyboard. I do notice that timeshifting works fine, and I'm able to open TV Guide and then record from within the Guide the show I'm currently watching.

Here's an excerpt of GBPVR.exe.log:

Thanks!

Sounds like a skin bug. Try with the default blue skin.

[topster]

OK. I'll try it out and report back later this evening. Thanks for the prompt reply.

Hi Sub,

Yep. there's a problem with Community Skin; I'll need to contact Fatman for that.

Maybe Fatman would already know what to do, but do you have any suggestions as to what the problem is?


Thanks!
