FM radio

[staalep]

As the PVR-350 has support for FM Radio, it would be nice to have a FM tuner (and maybe recording?) application included in this excellent program

A simple work-around is to make a batchfile that starts IR.exe, then starts radio. When finished, the IR.exe should be stopped.
Then in the configuration utility of gbpvr you can add a custom task that points to the batchfile.
THe display of radio is shown on the tv-screen when you use the pvr tv-out.
This works nice if you disable the gbpvr commands in the irconfig.ini file. Otherwise gbpvr listens to the remote as well.

I've tried this in v0.12 and it worked allright. I have configured it in v0.13, but haven't tested it.

If you want, I can send you the batchfile later (I don't have it at hand here)

Please do, or could you post it somehow here for other people to take a look at it?

Here is the contents of the batchfile:

REM Batchfile to start Radio from GBPVR
REM First turn on the remote
START C:\Progra~1\WinTV\Ir.exe /QUIET
REM then the radio
cd C:\PROGRA~1\WinTV
"C:\Program Files\WinTV\radio.exe"
REM if de radio is turned of, the remote has to shut down as well
"C:\Program Files\WinTV\Ir.exe" /QUIT
END

Save this as gbpvrradio.bat
Add a custom task to point to this batchfile (please note that you'll have to enter the path and filename from hand as the custom tasks dialog only looks for .exe files).
Add a check for hide gbpvr... (I don't recall the exact text)
Remove the gbpvr= and all codes for [gbpvr] in the irremote.ini files. Otherwise gbpvr is listening as well.

Then it should work, well at least it does for me.
Note that this only goes well if you normally don't have the ir.exe running but are using the built-in remote function of gbpvr.

OK workaround, but it would still be better to have it integrated.

Keep up the nice work!
