MVP WOL functionality

[mvallevand]

Hi Martin,

- I'm using a PVR USB2 device and record my TV shows with GBPVR. I'm not sure this is THE answer to your question on the PVR150 timestamp problem but what I've understood from looking at other threads is that there is a FF/FR timing problem with PVR150 recorded shows (drivers problem ...?).
- FF/FR works fine with the standard dongle included in GBPVR
- I use FF/FR with the short skip option disabled as this is closer to a standard VCR functionality. If I want to use short skips I still have the lower placed seperate specific F-skip/R-skip buttons on my Hauppauge remote control (34 buttons).

I hope this helps.
All the best.

It helps thanks, sounds like it's emulation mode. Note that if you want real FF with mvpmc use the Go - FF combination.

I just noticed on another thread that Sub stated that v1.08 doesn't support native FF/RW at this stage: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ight=v1.08

Looking at this statement I'm not sure whether FF/RW in v1.08 was working properly with the original GBPVR dongle ??? ...
but I do know I have this problem using mvpmc in v0.99.12

Anyway I skipped back to GBPVR v0.99.12 using the original GBPVR dongle for several reasons, MVP server functionalities & available plugins, and will wait some time until v1.08 gets an update to have the same functionalities as compared with v0.99.12. If I find a stable mvpmc dongle for GBPVR v0.99.12 I'll let you know.

Thanks for the GO -FF Tip.
I didn't know and yes many of us try to learn a program by playing with it rather than first reading the documentation.

Ciao.

The problems should be with PVRX2 and GBPVR, but I will have a look anyway. I also don't understand why the older plugins don't work with GBPVR 1.0.8 for you either, again the issues should be PVRx2 only.

If you look which plugins v1.08 support for the moment you'll be missing some of them as compared to v0.99.12, also in GBPVR, and I've tried installing them as in v0.99.12 but didn't succeed on all of them which are usefull for us. I think I have seen some note on that. If I have more time I'll test again.

Other then discovering a minor problem with my change for the most recent alpha, FF and RW are working for me. I'll be quite interested helping you out.

Martin,

I must humbly say that I very much appreciate your support. To work out things straight I might need some instructions here just to make sure I'm doing things correctly and stay within the rules of the forum.

1) It was all about WOL support and you've solved that question. I've also noticed a remark in one of the threads about the mvpmc config file where you could probably specify a command to keep trying to connect the mvp during power on towards the GBPVR server PC for more then 30 seconds after a hibernation WOL wake up. This would solve my problem on my old slow booting PC used as GBPVR server.

If you could point me to threads or documentation to fix this I certainly want to give it a try.

2) Can you recommend which mvpmc dongle to use. Maybe I was on another version 0707 then yours and I hear you speaking about alpha and overnight versions and things like that. I was in the impression the latest alpha was version 0.3.3 and the others were betas (overnight versions ?) but apparently that's not correct. Would be great to understand which is the latest alpha and where to find it and which one you recommend for testing. :confused:

3) Final question, should we continue the discussion about FF/RW on this thread ? If not tell me which one to join. I'll be more then happy to do so as I don't want to upset people looking for information other then WOL and that's where mvpmc kicks in and does the trick. :p

It's not really the rules, I'm trying to keep all the mvpmc discussions together.

I'm hoping someone will help me out with the documentation. I think we should focus on the FF/RW question otherwise mvpmc isn't even an option for you.

I still haven't figured out why you can't ran GBPVR 1.08 so I can't make a recommendation other than of all the choices on the download sticky on the mvpmc forum 0.3.3 is the worst.

I would prefer looking into this problem on the mvpmc forum, then open a thread for creating an mvpmc share and go from there. I will find it easier step-by-step.
