Well, bugger it. I misremebered that you dropped support for OSD via plugins in the pvrx2 interface. Is there no hope at all for adding it back? You obviously have the ability in code to do it, is it that hard to expose it to plugins? I don't mean that in a negative way, it just seems like it...

Ok. So. Sometimes the text that I need to display in a plugin can be... quite long. Far longer than is going to fit in even the most generous of displays, to say nothing of more typical examples of screen real-estate. That means I have to truncate the text at some useful position if I don't...

I am looking for a couple helpers that have either an MVP or NMT to test some builds of Weather2 for me. I do not have one of these, but there are problems with Weather2 when an update occurs with them. If you have one and would like to help me out, please let me know. !! DISCLAIMER !! -...

After testing, I assume there is no way to display fanart in the Video Library unless using a "slick" type Menu? I also assume fanart won't work for the Music Library?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this I'm putting together a program that will process ts files to avi using ffmpeg. My machine is fastest enough to run 3-4 instances. I can extract file names easily enough dir recordingdir\*.ts /b/s > outputfile But I need to determine is one is...

How do KeyMappings work with the remote control? I have this in my keymappings file: The command comes through for the Escape key on the keyboard but not for the Back button from a Hauppauge remote control. Am I missing something?

I'm probably missing something fundamental but I'm having problems using UIStatic to display some information in a plugin I'm developing... This is the relevant portion of my code: private UiStatic statusInfoText; protected override void initialise() { string...

Been using GB-PVR for a while and love it. The only shortcoming is that the packaged DVD plugin doesn't quite suite my needs for navigation. I need to be able to skip titles, etc. Because of this, I was thinking of developing my own little plug in to handle this. I noticed a playDVD...

anybody got win7 and want to test a fix for HIP and MCE remotes? just save this as a batch file and run it.. reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da" /v "CodeSetNum0" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f reg add...

I think I could read/create shortcuts using IWshRuntimeLibrary, but is there a better way?

I'm trying to get ML3 to respond to the NMT keyboard the way Bekken did in Music and Sub does on the Recording Seach but I can't see it in my OnKeyDown events. Do I have to define OnKeyPress an fake something? I can't get OnKeyPress on IMenuTask with this definition public bool...

What is the proper build procedure for distributing plugins that require new skins? Should a plugin distribute anything except Blue? Also do plugins have their skins in the GBPVR distribution or is it only for Slick and Blue skins of sub's main functions? Martin

How do I invalidate the baseline screen background rectangle to cause incremental update to do a full update? ML3 overlays the background with images and lists and sometimes as the views are changed the old screen appears under the list boxes. If there are enough changes to force a full update...

I found that a border is painted outsite and inside of an image. (see attach) <CompositeImage name="MessageBoxImage" size="70.0,50.0"> <DrawRoundedRect loc="5,5" size="90,90" fillColor="ForwardDiagonal:#00000200-#F0004880" borderColor="MessageBoxBorder" radius="3" borderWidth="1.5"/>...

I have not upgraded to either Vista or Win7 yet. A few users have run into problems in these OS's related to security, and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on it for me. It seems that if a user runs a utility program (i.e. MovieWizManager), that updates a database, it fails when launched...

I've been able to switch our GBPVR Server from analog to digital cable reception. The frequency mapping I figured out worked well for several days and then I found a TCM Move I recoreded ended up blank. Comcast had switched the frequency of that channel. I spent several hours figuring out that...

Looking at the wiki http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardware/RemoteKeyMappings I see that the Clear and Enter keys are duplicates of the Back and OK keys. Can these keys be handled separately via KeyMapping and if so, how would I identify them without changing the Back and OK key functionality....

When I hit OK to exit Config.exe I am noting that the changes I make in the Plugins /settings/PluginSettings/MusicLibrary section are being reverted. If I hit cancel the changes are kept. Does GBPVR overwrite this section? Note the section name is MusicLibrary the plugin name is...

Sub is there any why to reduce the rather extreme volume of logging done during rendering by way of the client. ML3 does one second updates of the playing location and the render hash output for the screen updates is filling up 1.5 Mb of logs very quickly. An example is in pz1's post here...

When implementing BaseButtonListUiTask, you have two methods/functions (among others): GetName() and GetDescription(). This GetDescription() example uses GBPVRCommonUtilities (a third party library) while the GetName() example does not. You can choose which you want and use the same method for...
