uburadio config

[anneb]

I have the Skin\blue folder that has all the subfolders in it but blue\elements was in the root folder. I copied GBPVRUIElements into the correct folder and its all working ok.

Thanks for your patience!!

next question Is it possible to record the web radio stations and if so how?

Glad it's working. Now you can enjoy using it.

next question Is it possible to record the web radio stations and if so how?

I'm the author of another plugin, UbuStream, which is a more fully featured web stream player (video and audio) for GB-PVR. I'll be releasing a new version in the near future that will include a Record button on the menu that will let you record audio and video streams.

However, in the meantime, if you want an "undocumented" way to record with UbuRadio, try this. When you play a station in Timeshift mode, UbuRadio is actually triggering a transcoding process that records the stream to an mp3 file. It puts the file in the GB-PVR cache directory (whichever folder you have specified in the config app for "Live TV Buffer Directory"). The file is deleted when you stop the stream (or if an error occurs). However, if you look in that folder while the station is still playing you'll see the file and you can simply copy it and paste it wherever you want it. Voila! You'll have an mp3 file with everything the station played until you made a copy of it.

EDIT: Actually, I could really automate that pretty easily. Maybe, for the next release of UbuRadio, I'll put a "Snapshot" button on the menu that would simply copy everything played so far into an mp3 file in a folder you specify in the config window. The "Record" feature in UbuStream is going to be slightly more sophisticated and will allow you to specify a time limit (for unattended recording).

Sounds Great, Look forward to trying it.

Not sure what you mean by "missing files". The wiki download for the GbpvrUiElements dll seems to be working OK.

I see what you mean. The skin files seem to be missing from the latest version of the zip. This is the v6.0 zip: [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND] Just copy the skin files into gbpvr\skin\BlueGbpvrUiElements.

But now when i try to play a station gbpvr cant find any. Seems like a connection problem it tries a while and then just stop trying.

How do i know that your plugin finds my media player, vlc and ralplayer??

My Sweden path always starts c:\Program\etc
not c:\program files\etc

Can that be the problem?

(The built in netradio dont work either)

The log indicates you're having a problem with the WMP interop calls. (I can't read the Swedish error text, so I'm not sure exactly what the exact issue is). Since both UbuRadio and NetRadio use WMP interop, that would explain why you're having a problem with both plugins.

Check that you have Windows Media Player installed correctly (UbuRadio has been tested with v10 so, ideally, you'd have that version installed). Also check that both the WMP interop dlls are present in your gbpvr directory (they should have been installed byt the GB-PVR install).

Have you tried playing stations that use RealPlayer or VLC? Do you get the same messages in the log or different ones. (I'm trying to figure out if this is something specific to WMP or not).

From your log messages, that doesn't appear to be a problem. GB-PVR is finding components under C:\Program correctly.
