v0.91.8 Maintenance Release

[sub]

I've just uploaded http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR09108.msi

This is the same release as a couple of days ago, but fixes one specific bug. If you dont use BDA, there is probably no point in upgrading. From the change.log:

2005-03-25 v0.91.8
- Same release as last time but fixed one bug with BDA channel scanning.

And just reminder what was included in the v0.91.7 maintenance release from a couple of days ago:

[size=2]2005-03-22 v0.91.7
- Fixed a bug that stopped the user being able to learn a remote with the USB-UIRT.
- Had another go at fixing the bug with pre/post padding. Hopefully this time...
- Added some improvements to how shows are allocated to capture sources so that we'll get better usage of tuners in multi capture-source setups.
- Added 'MVP Transcode pre-play delay' option. Slower machines may need to increase this value to play AVI files on their MVP.
- Added a setting for trying to force the use of ffdshow (if installed) for MVP AVI transcoding. This can be usefull if you have a lot of non-fullscreen AVIs that you want to view on your MVP, or if your want to tweak the image size/color/shape/etc.
- Fixed a bug that could stop web components from being updated during an upgrade from a previous version.
- Fixed a bug where the 'force minimal OSD on MVP' was also being used on the PC monitor in Live Preview mode TV.
- Fixed a problem with the alpha channel when using the VMR7 renderer. It could previously cause a very dark (almost opaque) screen when the OSD was visible.
- Fixed a bug with the tray icon's UpdateEPG menu option.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a 'object reference not set' error if you entered the TV Guide before it have finished its background initialization.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a black screen directly accessing a plugin using the -direct command line parameter
- Added support for BDA devices that user combined tuner/capture filter. This should now enable GB-PVR to work with the Nova-T USB2.

As always, if you're upgrading from a previous release back up your files first.

Sub,
Just installed my Nova-T USB2, upgraded to v0.91.8, fired it up and it is working brilliantly for Live TV!
Not sure if I have all the channels I expected, need to try it from the MVP and experiment with recording but looking very good.
Thanks,
ArfurAnt.

Just upgraded from 9010 to 9108 and have ran into this bug:
Using PVR350 TV out. Started a recording I watched previousely, so the Resume/Restart message pops up. From then on the Resume/Restart message will display any time the OSD comes up, like when pausing or skipping.
To clarify, it just shows it is not realy active. Restarting GBPVR exe makes it go away, until the next time a previously watched recoring is used. During the mini OSD guide it is not showing.
If you need any logs, let me know.

Some extra info: When running SW decoder I don't have this problem. Only on the PVR350

Same problem occurs for me with PVR350

It might be a while until I can look at that one. My PVR350 has been out on loan for the last month.

You might just need to turn off resume checking for now.

Yep same problem here with the 350, also still having a problem with the dual tuners and pending season recordings. After the 3AM update, items that I cancelled in the pending list (repeats, for example) come back. I have to go in and re-cancel them every day, this is getting very annoying.

If they match they name of show, then they're going to scheduled. Thats the way its always worked.

Did not have this problem with single tuner. Cancelled programs STAYED cancelled.
