any hope for CID being able to be implemented in gbpvr? If I had YAC or some other CID program running, it wouldnt just pop over gbpvr and disappear after the CID is shown? not sure why that wouldnt work

Spooky - I was playing with YAC just last night, with the thought that it would be ideal for gbpvr, and the mvp in particular. On the YAC website, there is an additional program called YACtextsend which (if I understand correctly) delivers a textstring from the YAC server, that could be called from within a plugin.
Could the plugin then deliver a 5-sec 'popup' to the screen (something similar to pressing the blue button on my remote) with this caller ID info? I'm probably making it sound simple (due to complete and utter ignorance of programming) - and if so, I apologise - but it would be sweeet....

The problem is there is no way to show the caller id info on the OSD (on top of a show).
We can build a plugin that shows a log of recent calls. But that is it till backend support gets implemented.

Couldn;t you do it by having the plug-in set itself as one of the video overlay plug-ins (in the confg.xml file) and the plug-in pushes the approriate keypress onto the windows queue when it wants to pop itself up over the video? That would at least allow it to show during videos. In the main menu you could have it post the information as a high priority event to the video archive panel.

A guy by the name of Chris Buenger wrote a niffty caller-ID application that he has incorporated for use into MCE which will display a user selected image for the caller as well as use the speech plugin to announce the caller... I was hoping for something like this for GBPVR but this will still work for GBPVR users since it will display over any GBPVR window for 'x' seconds. To use it as a plugin as part of GBPVR, someone would need to parse the Access database

Because phone tray does a neat job doing that and it will play a message to the caller (you pick out the message you want them to hear) You don't have to be there to pickup the phone either you can set to not accept calls also. It's free! Oohhhh no this is just a CID program - no answering machine capabilities. I think I am going to head off and look into this app you speak of

Interesting... I looked at phone tray, but to be honest with my current combination of the donotcall list and vonage voip, i never get unwanted calls anyway.
