A Couple of New Pages

[zehd]

zehd, I've updated the page to say the MCE2004 and MCE2005 remotes are directly supported. I use both of these remotes almost daily with GB-PVR, and they work well without needing HIP or Girder.

Thanks man, always appreciated to get direction 'from the horses mouth'...

You might mention that several of the utilities come with sample batch files. You may also want to consider putting up some empty batch files (maybe with some comments) as templates. This could help the more timid get going.

I also thought the last sentence on the preprocessing.bat description sounded a bit harsh. Either the original developer or one of his users saw or had a need for it.

Excellent comments, thanks. I'll soften the sentence, and make room for Sample Bats....

Thanks

Frank

Frank,

This
"you must edit the ‘ComSkip.ini’ with live_tv=1."
is not true.
"you must edit the ‘ComSkip.ini’ with live_tv=1 when you want comskip to write the list of commercials during the recording as soon as they are found."
If you need the list of commercials only to be available after the total recording finishes its better NOT to use live_tv=1 because then disk traffic will be lower.

Thanks. I will be updating that info

When you try the coloured buttons, do you get some messages in GBPVR.exe.log starting with either "Received WM_INPUT:" or "Received WM_APPCOMMAND:"? If so, let me know what codes exactly it is logging.

This is the sequence of pressing red-green-yellow-blue twice in the video archive menu.

1st of all thank you for a FANTASTIC application! The kids live it and also my other half does too! (and that is saying somthing!)

Anyway my question is.....

I have wrote and small batch file, UpdateEPG.batthat calls XMLTV. This works perfectly when I run it manually.

From the ICON by the clock I click Update EPG and it does not call that batch file.
I have also tried Update EPG from "Edit Recording Source." This still does not run the UpdateEPG.bat file.

The UpdateEPG.bat file lives in C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\

Anything I am missing?

Thanks

DAVE

Its probably path related. Look closely at the batch file - there is probably something assumes what the current directory is. You should try explicity adding the following like to the start of your batch file:

CD "c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr"

wannabe, any chance you can see if the attached patch helps?

Its probably path related. Look closely at the batch file - there is probably something assumes what the current directory is. You should try explicity adding the following like to the start of your batch file:

CD "c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr"

I have changed the UpdateEPG.bat file so it contains.

echo TEST > c:\test.txt

Thats all it contains. If the file c:\test.txt is created then I know it works. GBPVR does not call this file at all. HELP!

[sub]

You do realise the UpdateEPG.bat file is only called with the Automated EPG update, not when you manually click the 'Update EPG' button?

[RattyDAVE]

Nope I did not realise!

Right off to do some more testing..

Thanks

DAVE
