v0.96.8 (21 February)

I love the new release, even for the little things. I've finally stopped using my custom background image in favor of Blue. It reinvents the original all over again.

I did hit an odd error this morning. I was just changing the channel, and GB just closed w/o error or pause. It was still recording (was watching in timeshift), so it was only the main GB program that quit.

This is the only error text I could find in the logs (checked 3, only gbpvr.eve.log had anything):

2/22/2006 7:00:17 AM.796 ERROR [2] Error: msg=0x8001 hwnd=0x401f4 wparam=0x0 lparam=0x0 result=0x0 : System.Exception: Failure playing back file

I had just been watching in TS mode. The TV had been in use for maybe an hour. It happened just as I changed channel (Ch down button), and showed the next channel for just 1 sec (as if it was about to play). I had changed the channel this way about 20min earlier, and was going back to that channel at the tome (started on 29, watched 28 for 20min, and had gone back to 29)

I turned on debug to get more detail if it should happen again. It's the only problem I've had (installed early evening last night), and probably could have just re-opened GB and kept going. I'll post more, if it happens again.

Yeah, thats quite likely. The MVP screen position settings are now stored in a different place in the config.xml. The author will need to update it.

Sure, just look in config.xml at the <MVPSpecificSettings> section. Edit this file with notepad.exe, and make a backup of this file before you make any changes.

I found it and... I'm all set.

Thank you!

Yes it should, but someone pointed out a problem with starting a video then starting a second video (first one didnt stop). The same thing doesnt occur with live tv. I'll correct this for the next release. For now you just need to remember to switch the video back to full screen and stop it...or disable the video inset by setting <UseVideoInset>false</UseVideoInset> in config.xml.

Yeah, I think mine is working properly now. However, earlier in the evening last night I was seeing the issue where two video streams were active at the same time. I believe it happened with livetv as the inset and also a recording as the inset. I had video AND audio from both - it was CRAZY ANNOYING - had to kill the app and fire it back up.

Nifty idea, nice new feature sub.

THANK YOU for this release. Being able to switch the aspect ratio in overlay. Keep up the good work!

Sub, something you might want to look into...

I did a completely fresh install last night: uninstalled, wiped the directory.
I installed the new version and setup my capture source, told it to grab from zap2it.

The grab went fine and it seemed to gather my channels properly and get the appropriate data. However, when I went to the tvguide, there was NOTHING there. It took me a while to figure this out but i had to modify the database slightly to solve it...

In the CHANNEL table, there were some bad entries that had somehow gotten a ZERO channel number. For example:

Code:

oid     name            
118    2  QVC       0       
129    3  WZDX       0                                      
134    5  WAFF        0                                  
79       6  CAWAWB   0                                  
136    8  WGNSAT    0    
3       9  WHNT     0    
138    10 WHIQ         0    
111    11 LOOR0    11        
133    12 WAAY        12    
107    13 HSN        13    
120    14 SHOPNBC    14

The first 10 (or so) channels were like this. Starting at about channel 11, the channelID field was correct and matched the number in the name column. I wiped the capture source, created another one, grabbed zap2it data, same result...

So, I modified the table so that the channelID for all rows matched the name and everything corrected itself.

Just thought you might want a heads up on this. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary from how I regularly install the app, so i don't think it was operator error. Could have been the data grabbed from zap2it that was wrong too.

Thanks.

Well crap, I goofed the tags above but can't edit my post. You get the idea though...

Yes it's selected but Home on the keyboard doesn't work either.

That makes two of us

What renderer are you using VMR9/VMR7/Overlay/MVP/XCard/PVR350?

Can you PM your zap2it login details so I can check this out myself?

I looked around, and didn't see this issue yet, and it could be something stupid I have done. After upgrading and updating my countourHC skin, under my FM stations I just see red X's now. I can click on them and they play the station, you just see a red x instead of station info. Is this something related to teh skin itself?

Yes.
