WINTV PVR 150
M10000 EPIA NEHEMIA
250GB HD
I have my hardware working, I just don't have access to an antenna right now to view any broadcasts and I am still building my box.
I have an lcd I want to mount on my PVR box. I have written a vb.net program to read a file and display it's contents to the lcd through the serial port. I want to display date and time and, if the pvr is recording, what channel is recording. In vb.net, I use the FileSystemWatcher event to look for a change in a file, look for the last line that was changed in that file and display that to lcd.
My question is: Is there a log file I can monitor just to know what channel is being recorded at the current moment? I have found the log files in the LOG directory. I set my logging mode in configuration to INFO. I don't see any logging information I can use. What file should I monitor? Is this doable? Should I set my logging to "debug"?
On another note, should the Hauppauge remote be able to start gbpvr.exe? It only starts wintv when I press the top left button. Also, when I go to configure gbpvr, it takes up to 60s or more to display the configuration screeen. Thats seems odd.
Thanks.
