Is there going to be a NPVR version for the Community Skin?

Glow WS - find more popup crash

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:50:43 +0000

I recently started using the Glow WS theme (still with GBPVR) on my new 46" Sony and it's a treat for the eyes.

When I call the 'Find More' pop up from TVlistings it drops back to the main menu. I've done a little digging but can't determine the cause. My Rox theme (CS4 SD) works fine. Not a priority issue, but thought someone else (smarter than me) may be able to confirm and debug the problem. I could provide logs if wanted.

Thanks

Community-WS\TV Recordings Missing mmc.xml

Mon, 17 May 2010 18:14:46 +0000

When attempting to use the Community-WS skin I get the following error:

[SIZE="1"]2010-05-17 10:53:34.872 WARNING [1] requested skin file not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Devnz\GBPVR\skin2\Community-WS\TV Recordings\mmc.xml[/SIZE]

Where can I get the missing xml file?

TV Guide layout, display 2 lines of Title & Subtitle

Sun, 25 Apr 2010 06:59:38 +0000

I finally got around to fixing something that has been bugging me for awhile. In the SelectedShowDetails box in the TV Guide, it only allocates one line for the Title and Subtitle (ie, the @showTitleSubtitle text element). Many shows far exceed this allowance, which was particularly annoying with shows were the Title filled the whole line, but what I really needed to see was the Episode title (ie, the Subtitle). I first toyed around with displaying the Title on the first line and the Subtitle on a second line, using the @showTitle and @showSubtitle elements sub added at my request awhile back, but then found some shows where the Title alone overran the allotted space, yet had no subtitle. I ended up keeping the Title & Subtitle together, and simply expanding the allotted space. I also decided I liked the show time in the smaller GeneralTextStyle instead of the Header style, which also allowed a little more room for the TitleSubtitle box.

Here's the code for for your consideration, changes in red. That's for the SD TV Guide skin.xml. I don't have a good way to mess with the WS skin, but the adjustments should be similar.

Code:

edit: I guess I should have changed the vertical size of the @showDescription element; starting at 2,45 and sized at 96,70 means it will run off the bottom of the box. It probably doesn't matter, PVRX2 won't complain, but I guess it should be 50 or maybe 53.

[Dev] Sidewinder theme

Finally feeling motivated to get a "slick" themed version out for CS. Still a work in process, as I am looking to strike a balance of working with fanart images. Still have a ways to go.

Community Skin WS Big Red X

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 06:11:14 +0000

I recently upgraded GBPVR to 1.4.7 and then upgraded the community skin as well. Whenever I try to go in to the skin option on PVRX2 now I get the big red x. I'm sure I just have something set to the wrong directory but any tips would be helpfull. Thanks in advance.

Both SD and WS together?

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:38:17 +0000

Dear all,

is it possible to have 2 instances of CS installed on the same server? SD & WS? Or will this cause a conflict, particularly with the skin plugin?

cheers

Skin Plugin Causing Unhandled Exception Error

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:58:50 +0000

I have the latest version of GBPVR installed on both a host and client machine. I the Community SD Skin with the Glow Theme installed on both computers. When I enter "Skin" from the GBPVR menu on the host machine or via MediaMVP, everything works as expected. However, whenever I try to enter "Dkin" through GBPVR's menu on the client machine, I received the following error:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application..."
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
[The error details are in the "Windows Error.txt" file in the attached logs zip.]

Following the error, the GBPVR instance will eventually become responsive again, but it does not enter the "Skin" menu.

Both machines are running Windows 7 and are both up to date with Windows Update. Also, both installations of GBPVR are the same with the exception of the MediaMVP Position plugin on the host machine.

EDIT: I wanted to add that when looking through the logs' errors, I am seeing a number of references to the D: drive. On my client machine, the D: drive is just a small factory installed, HP Recovery partition only. Not sure if that is an issue or not.

Does anyone have any advice/input? The client machine seems to schedule and perform other PVR functions as needed without issue except for this "Skin" issue. Thanks in advance.

[DEV] my apologies....

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:17:33 +0000

Hey guys,

I want to apologize for not contributing much of anything to the project. I've pretty well lost all interest in customizing/tweaking GB-PVR. Various conflicts and compromises have left my HTPC functional at a basic level, but unable to achieve much of the vision I had when I first started out. With the loss of the 'dream', I've become content with it as-is which means there's no more energy for changing/improving/fixing anything. It records what it's supposed to most of the time, comskips it pretty well, plays it back just fine. None of the shortcomings are anything you or I could fix anyway. I think you get the idea.

I appreciate being invited to contribute, and very much appreciate all the work you've already done and are still doing. CS is a worthy project, no installation of GB-PVR is complete without it.

Future releases of GB-PVR and/or changes in my setup or desires may well re-kindle my interest in the project and get me 'geeked up' about it again. Should I have anything worthy to contribute I'll just post it in this forum for your consideration.

Regards,

Dave

Music Library 2 font size

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 09:34:59 +0000

Hi, not sure if this is a CS or ML thread but... Using CS4-WS in Music Library2 the current track time display on the playlist page seems to be in too large a font so it's missing one digit.
Firstly I can only find Music Library 3 folder in skin2, so I'm hoping its common to ML2 and 3 ans secondly I tried changing 16.6,33.3 to 15, 25 in-

but it had no effect. any ideas?

Overlay guide font size

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 20:42:17 +0000

hi, the font size for the overlay tv guide (F1 during live tv) is too big in CS4-WS. The normal TV guide font is fine though (ie not this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=41779)
can you point me to the right xml to edit please.

CS 405 text clipping in main menu

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:05:44 +0000

I have recently upgraded CS 405 SD for the server (was 404) and added the WS version for my NMT (looking splendid at 1280*720). I have explicitly configured CS SD for the server and WS for the NMT.

Now I have text clipping on longer main menu items (Music Library 3) on the 4*3 server display (see attached). With the blue skin, no such clipping occurs. Also, the main menu frame looks slightly condensed which gives the impression that while I have set this to use SD the WS version is actually displayed.

If I remember correctly, I didn't have the text clipping prior to installing the WS version. However, I can't get it back to normal by uninstalling the WS version or just reinstalling SD (giving me no skin at all). I tried all this back and forth to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Guido
