Check out how stupid I am: I've been checking http://www.gbpvr.com every so often for over a year now, and reading the new replies to the announcement thread for GBPVR 1.4.7, waiting for news about a new version. It was only when one of the posters there described 1.4.7 as outdated that I looked again at the forum front page and realised my mistake. Maybe there could be a message about the name change on http://www.gbpvr.com? Anyway I'm glad to be using NPVR. It's even better.
I have two questions and two problem reports about the user interface. (I've only tried the default skin, so far.)
How do you exit full screen mode?
Can you scroll the TV guide left and right using the mouse?
Here is a really nit-picking point: when you double-click a program in TV guide, then click record, you can change the recording type (daily, weekly, etc) by clicking two little left-right arrows. But if you click one of them twice without waiting in between then nothing happens (presumably because the two clicks are interpreted as a double click, and double clicking doesn't do anything there). So you have to do it again more slowly. This can really throw off your rhythm if you have a lot of programs to set up. If those left-right buttons could be told not to expect double clicks that would be cool.
If I open settings from the right-click menu in stay-on-top mode (Doctor, it hurts when I do this ...), the settings window comes up behind the main application window. I can't close the settings window because it's behind the main window, and I can't interact with the main window until the settings window is closed, so if I do want to interact with the main window I have to kill NPVR and start it again.
