No Net Radio on Menu

[radioactive1]

Hey, didn't mean to upset you - I'm in the IT business so believe me I know about customer priorities when it comes to enhancements to software applications (the priorities of one person do not drive the priorities of all).

In any case, just so you know, I think you've done some incredible things here. About 4 years ago I sat down with a friend who works for the same IT company as I do and said "hey, I have an idea, what if we made a black box, that was essentially a big flash drive that would literally plug right into your router. You could download movies, streaming media, etc. and have a TV guide like cable - wouldn't that be cool!!??". Of course, I didn't have the time or the knowledge of how to pull something like that off........so I'm still doing my day job.

Ever since then I've been watching the industry to see which company could come up with the best media player, home media solution, whatever you want to call it. Many have tried (Olive, D-link MediaLounge, others), but most if not all of them are rather cludgy and have some pretty serious drawbacks. The only one I found that came close to what I was looking for was the MediaMVP and, so I picked one up about a year ago on clearance ($39.00 at CircuitCity) and started playing with it. Loved the concept, wasn't too crazy about the interface.

Then you're project came along and.........well, you've been able to do what a lot of the big names have been unable to pull off - so my hat's off to you.

I also know that a lot of the questions that are posted on here can be answered by saying "did you get a chance to read the documentation". But people being what they are find it easier to ask then to read.

In any case, all of that said - I figured it out. THERE IS NO PROBLEM with the interface. It is a simple matter of the fact that since every selected item can't fit on the menu, some items are on the "next page". Only thing was, I didn't know how to go to the next page.......until I happened to use the scroll button on my mouse - THERE WAS THE MISSING NET RADIO!

So, problem solved.

Again, didn't mean to offend; this is an amazing piece of software - companies like Sony, Applie, NetGear, D-Link could learn a lot from a project like this (but hopefully they won't).

Cheers,

Nah you didnt upset me - just making sure the situation is clear to people.

lol - too funny...

The arrow keys on the keyboard or remote would also have got you there.

I'll take back what I said in that last post. Mistook the "Web Radio" menu item created from the UbuRadio plugin for the NetRadio menu item.

Net Radio still isn't showing up in my PVRX2, but does in GBPVR - weird huh?

Ok - as I mentioned earlier, start PVRX2.exe, then zip and attach the PVRX2.exe.log and I'll take a look.

Dont get too used to it. Its due to be removed from all future versions.

That is bad news!!! It is one of the main differentiating features between GBPVR and the competition SageTV, BeyondTV, and MediaPortal.

I enjoy the net radio feature very much!!! With it I actually use my own local music library much less!

Edit: I thought you were talking about NET RADIO but I think now that you were talking about GBPVR.exe. OKOKOKOKOK !

Yep, net radio isnt going away.

Ok, the log file is attached.

I have the Net Radio Plugin configured to list just below my Music Library and before Picture Library.

Tnx,

Ok, as I suggested on the last page:

Replace your <MenuLayout> section of your config.xml with this default section. After this all the buttons should be present on your main menu. Also delete the contents of your 'plugins' directory in case its getting in the way somehow.

Code:

<MenuLayout>
    <Task enabled="true">TV Guide</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">Recordings</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">Search Guide</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">Live TV</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">Music Library</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">Video Library</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">Photo Library</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">DVD</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">FM Radio</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">Net Radio</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">Settings</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">System</Task>
    <Task enabled="true">Exit</Task>
  </MenuLayout>

I can tell in the logs you havnt done that. If it doesnt help, then zip and attach the log again and I'll take another look.

Sub:

Replaced the section of my config.xml with the above. Still no Net Radio on the menu. Then I decided to try another experiment. I re-ran config and selected every plugin. Then re-ran PVRX2 and GBPVR at the same time so that I could compare.

Here's what I found:

Every plugin appeard on the GBPVR menu

The following plugins were missing from the PVRX2 menu:

YouTube
NetRadio
FM Radio
SearchGuide
EasyView

I've attached my PVRX2 log.

This because you're using an old version. Install the current 1.1.5 release and you'll get Net Radio and Search Guide on the main menu.

I'm not going to bother implementing YouTube and EasyView in the new PVRX2 app. FM Radio will probably return in the next release.
