can i pass channel name to file instead of gbnetradio?

[ryanmc]

is it possible to pass the favorite name or channel name to the file being made/played instead of it being gbnetradio?

use built in gbpvr player to see net radio song info..
[set in config.xml,don't use WMP for netradio]
<UseWindowsMediaPlayerForNetRadio>false</UseWindowsMediaPlayerForNetRadio>

you lose visualizations, but gain song info.

I'm pretty sure that the "gbnetradio" filename is only used for audio recordings if you are accessing GB-PVR via an MVP. Otherwise, it should use the name of the stream being played concatenated with a time stamp. I can't remember why I hard code the file name for MVP audio in the UbuNetStreamPlayer dll (which is where the action is happening) but I think it has something to do with the string that the GB-PVR MVP server is expecting in order to recognize it as something requiring audio playback. Since it is only used as a temporary file, the name didn't seem that important.

I'm not sure what pBS is referring to but I think he's talking about GB-PVR's Net Radio feature. Which is a different thing entirely.

on pc if i start the stream using timeshift play it will show the favorite/channel correctly but i cant hear it. if i start any otherway it shows gbnetradio but has sound. and with the mvp like you said it will only show gbnetradio which is no big deal. how can i figure out why i dont hear it when using timeshift ?also on pc anything except external play holds the screensaver from coming on if im able to sort my other trouble is there anyway i can stop itfrom holding the screensaver from coming on ? thanks again for the cool plugin

AFAIK if you want gbpvr to playback an mp3 file while it is still being created, the filename needs to start with 'gbnetradio' eg gbnetradio-0.mp3'

that would be ok if the filename had to start with gbnetradio i could remove that with lcdsmartie befor its displayed and just show the station name. i just dont know how to change the filename or add the gbnetradio to the begining of the filename if that is indeed why i cant hear it.
