Today things went better with testing then expected, and now I am ready to begin a wider public release. To get an idea of what to expect, check out this earlier thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=41809 if you haven't already
Right now this is an upgrade only a full install guide will follow, probably with the next new GB-PVR version. If you haven't installed mvpmcx2 yet, follow the Dummies Guide instructions. Also note that HDMI is not supported at this time.
Note that OSD is a bit washed out in 720p mode 1080i/p mode does look better.
Usage
mvpmcx2 has always emulated an MVP but now this is complete. For those that haven't used an MVP before, the remote key reference is here http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manua...dReference The names on the remote keys are a little different as follows
Angle = Record
Source = Menu
Return = Back
Next = Skip
Prev = Replay
Repeat = Prev Channel (Different then in the earlier mvpmcx2)
Additionally based on the tester's feedback I did implement the NMT Video Zoom feature to toggle between "Full Screen", "Fit Screen" and "Crop"
Troubleshooting
The mvpmcx2 client is now a full media player when running with GB-PVR so in the initial release I do expect a few problems to come up. Please try and document the problem as best you can and open up a message on it with the messages.
If you find a problem mpeg ts file, that won't seek, play or plays without sound (and it isn't a HE-AAC file), please telnet to your PCH and issue the command cat /tmp/dumpts.txt and copy the output into a message on the forum. Keep the source video file because I might ask you to create a 20 MB SD or 100 MB HD snip and upload it to a free site like megaupload or rapidshare and provide a link.
One caution is that if the file time isn't very representative of the file, there probably are multiple timelines in the file so skipping won't work, but it might play and you might be able to use FF/RW through the file. I feel the best solution for these is to use TSMuXeR from http://smlabs.net/tsmuxer_en.html to fix the time.
Finally a big thanks to Sheik Yerbouti, BrainStormer, BrettB, dark_half, tcmy95 and lehanne, who really helped me get to this point. Of course sub helped a lot and he had to make significant changes to GB-PVR for the NMT, which probably will help mvpmc users too.
I look forward to reading about your experience good and bad.

In the last few days, the format of my thread update emails have been screwed up.
e.g.
Dear gEd, 5058 has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - Xvid/DivX playback picture quality - in the Hardware forum of GB-PVR Forums. This thread is located at: http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...to=newpost Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** The size of this system was the deciding factor , it's about the size of a vcr. I tried some of those tweaks but didn't see a noticeable improvement. I just found in the workshop an older ATI 9200SE which is a low profile card so I could stick it in this system and see if it makes a difference. I assume this card should be a bit better although it is a little long in the tooth. *************** There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

Has anyone else noticed when watching LiveTV that TVNZ 6 & 7 video has 5 second intervals of jumpy video (dropped frames?) spaced every two to three minutes apart?
The audio is fine, even during the jumpy video interval.
All other Freeview channels work fine, including C4 and TV3+1 which use the same H.264 720x576 format.
Recorded TV from TVNZ 6 & 7 seems fine. It only occurs when watching LiveTV on those two channels.
I recently purchased an external USB DVB-S box. I have got it working with the supplied software (BladeDTV), but the EPG layout in that software is pretty weak, so I want to try it out with GB-PVR.
I went into GP-PVR Config, and then went Capture Sources, clicked Add, recording source Digital, clicked settings, and then clicked the 'Only show devices connect to this machine' and it came up with my LME BDA DVBS device.
After selecting the satelite (Optus D1 for Freeview New Zealand), I saw the LNB LOF1, LOF2 and Switch. I know my LNB is 10750, but when I go to 'map digital channels' it scrolls through all the transponders, but doesnt come up with anything.
I have it set out as the following attached image shows. Is this correct? im not to sure what the LNB 'Switch' is? does this effect it somehow?
The LNB settings are the same as they are in BlazeDTV. if you need more info, please let me know and I will post it. Currently my dish is in great position according to the satelite finder, and BlazeDTV. I also use the same dish for a set-top box for my regular TV, which appears fine.
As the subject says... I'm looking for a new video card to replace my X1650 pro. I was wondering if anyone had any of the 4xxx cards with working hardware accel under XP? I'm using VMR9, not EVR, if that makes a difference. All these newfangled video cards confuse me... I've been out of the game for too long!!
I have been using GB for about a week and love it. I have a old TV that has a hard time displaying the default skin. I was lucky enough to find another designed for older smaller tvs. I can't recall the name of it, but it looks like the default skin but the text is much larger and there are cute retro images beside the buttons in the main menu.
Anyhow, I am looking for a skin that might look like the file attached (which I believe was a older version of GBPVR) AND works with a older tv. I'd like something that dosen't scroll - which was cool and high tech looking, but after a few days I feel like all I do is scroll though the menu for stuff.
