Dubya: There's a wiki that everyone uses for plugins, skins, utilities and general info

http://www.bladerhq.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage

You need to ask bladerhq for a login and then upload your skin. See the other skin files as examples.

yeah I was debating about adding it to the batch for everyone or not. I run with the -purge since once I record a show I do not want to record it again. I did not convince myself yet... that everyone wants that.

I assume I can put the -purge argument into my postprocessing.bat to purge a recorded show from the pending list? I haven't tried it to see if it would work, but I guess I could have my postprocessing.bat look like this:

comskip %1
rectracker %1 > rectracker.log
rectracker -add %1
rectracker -purge

And/or leave the PostupdateEPG.bat to:

cd c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr
PriorityRecording.exe > recording.log
rectracker -purge


I don't see how it could hurt to have it in both Post*.bat files as it would keep something from being recorded a couple hours later before the EPG updated. I think I'll try it tonight, unless I see otherwords in this thread.

It should work. I figure the internal scheduler and cdk schedulers run at epg update so purge should as well. It will not hurt.

Hey Jorm, Can I ask for two little skin fixes in the next rev.

1.) Can you make the show scrolling in the video section the same as it is in the reoccuring section, right now in the video section I don't believe there is a maxshow listing tag.
2.) I dunno if this is possible, but would it be possible to be able to select the background fill color for each of the menu items... This would allow a skin maker to get better contrast with a back background when needed. See attached pics.

Thanks alot!
