Possible N-PVR Wiki

[steeb]

"npvr.com" was going to cost me about $1000 US, so I'll pass on that one.

LOL (but what about all the donations)

I think really the answer is as it is only a temporary wiki it really doesn't matter at the moment!

Quite honestly whether for now:

N-PVR
NPVR
nPVR

we all know we're talking about the same great software

cheers

I wish. After paying hosting costs, we'd probably need to save the left over donations for about three years (sad but true)

. I also have the g3pvr.com domain name.

Close, but not close enough http://hamcall.net/call?callsign=g3pvr

I'm not bothered by some ham radio user in UK having the same callsign as my domain name though. I'm not planning on launching a "g3pvr" pirate radio station

Blimey, that website is like a shout in the face! I had to put on shades and back out quick :-)

Shame, it could take off, but I would hope your 'tunes' wouldn't be as loud as that website :-)

In a couple of weeks I'll update the wiki link on the home page, and the top of the forum, to point to http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/N-PVR/N-PVR and well create a link from there to the old legacy GBPVR information.

Is this to be the permanent solution, to have GBPVR and NPVR share 1 wiki?

If you see post #48 I've stated why the N-PVR group approach is far from ideal. Having said that, there maybe a way to improve on steeb's approach by using some wiki tricks (which I'm happy to investigate and implement if indeed a shared wiki is going to be the approach here).

Hiya McBain,

did you not get my email of last week?

AFAIAC this was only ever to be a temporary solution (I have put temporary all over my posts!) to have somewhere immediately for dev's to put their skins and plugins. And for some basic advice on installing and configuring N-PVR, nothing more. I totally agree with you, the group approach may not be ideal but it is what we have for now until there is a permanent home for a new wiki. I did not take the group approach decision by myself, it was the preferred solution offered up to me by blader_se as a way of ensuring the N-PVR stuff was kept separate from the existing main wiki.

I think as soon as it is decided where and what a new home for the wiki is the better. New wiki engine, recipes etc. And I think you are the ideal person to take this role on (if you want it

cheers

Yes, but I wanted sub's viewpoint as I wanted to know what the future holds - talk of changing forum links smacks a little of permanency.

Hmmm yes good point, I never read it that way, now I see! I'll keep quiet then. (I really do hope this will only be a VERY temporary solution. My vote is for new wiki!

To be honest, I dont care if the files are physically in the same wiki, or a separate one, as long as long as the pages arent all mixed together in a GBPVR/PVRX2/NEXTPVR mess. Steeb provided this http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/N-PVR/N-PVR link and when I click on it I only see NPVR stuff, and left side contents is only about NPVR, which is perfect - so something like that, with a single link back to the old wiki home is fine with me. I wouldnt have liked to see a home page with index of pages from mixture of old (GBPVR/PVRX2) and new stuff (NPVR), and the user has to read carefully to see which is applicable to which of the app.
