v0.93.9 available (13 August)

[djdafreund]

Couple things to mention.

-Screensaver is pretty nice.
-Radio web is awesome.

Things i've noticed so far.
-possibly add the Bitrate Info when browsing web radio channels (192kb-etc.)
-when using REW/FFWD in timeshift, it keeps changing WAVE volume to 0. I had to switch to "Use short skip instead of FF/RW" and audio doesn't mute.

Im using WinXP. Hauppauge 250 card. Athlon2600. Audigy 2 Card. ]

BDA Multiplexer i have on Intervideo, also tried Hauppauge MPEG2 Muxer, didn't effect.

Software MPEG-2 Playback
--------------------------
Video Decoder -Intervideo NonCSS (also tried DScaler MPEG2 Video)
Audio Decoder - Intervideo NonCSS (also tried MPEG Audio Decoder and DScaler)

-When in Web Radio, each channel seems like it's reverbed twice. Like it's an audio effect added. Each channel seems to do it, yet each channel is a slightly different pitch effect added. Very Weird.

Relating to the reberb effect i hear. After further testing it. It seems to be there for approximately 10 seconds, then it all sounds normal.
After wards, i realised some sort of buffer glitch, i went in and changed from default (98 or 86kb i think) to the lowest 24kb, and now it is doing it still, but only for about 4 seconds til it sounds normal. In either even, it's something having to do with maybe my setup along with the audio buffer of GBPVR. Also, either event reguardless of the buffer. More times then not, when selecting a station, it plays the buffer length, then stops. And mostly (when you change a channel it does it mostly) when you hit the same channel again once already on it, it plays and stays playing just fine, but oncew you change to another Radio channel (WEB), it'll play out the buffer length, then just stop by itself, and you have to click on the same channel again to get it to play, and continue like normal. Hope this helps.

i believe you wrote that the function is there and that it is just missing the button.

would "aftermarket" skin from one of the plug ins that other people are making work if they have that button included?

No, you cant just change this in a skin. You'll have to wait.

The BDA multiplexer doesnt do anything if you have a PVR250. Its only relevent to digital cards.

I'm doing any effects or anything, it just uses the default MP3 codec on your machine to play the file it downloads.

Sorry, I cant think of any reason for this. Doesnt make sense to me.

Cant get this version to install on a new install or updating from 0.92.11. Both times the install ends in a fatal error. :confused:

alright, i'll leave you alone

try not to think of me is ungrateful. i've tried EVERY program out there even mythTV. this program is by far, the best program out there.

i hope to learn this program enough to help others with their problems on the list.

I had the same problem today too, "Fatal error" after the install rolled back all the files.
I rebooted the machine and tried installing again and it worked. This is a weird
problem but I now have it up and working.

OK I found an odd one. I tried to use the MVP skin option. I am using the default blue on the pc. I changed from to default to the blue w/orange or flat blue options on the mvp skin option. The CPU cycles start immediatly bouncing from 0-75% and the MVP will not find the server. Setting it back to default stops the cycling but then exiting config hangs on the restarting recording service dialog box. It say the program is not responding if you x on the dialog box. I know you said to stay with the stock skins but does that include the ones you package?

This is probably because the skin doesnt not support the current release.

The only skin shipped with GB-PVR is the default 'blue' skin. So any others you have on your machine are old.

Thanks for the great work. Sorry to bug you on your release day. I should have known that it was my fault
