1) Start watching a channel from the fullscreen guide (watch)
2) bring up the mini OSD guide and record another channel
3) exit the show you are watching to view the main guide again
4) the recording you just started isn't highlighted red, although it is recording.
I think it eventually shows up, just not right away.
It's not critical, just a minor continuity refinement. If we didn't love this program, we wouldn't keep posting about it
I have brought this up before, and I have perused other postings, but without any finality. So, here we go again.
Is the HVR2200 useless for analogue recordings due to the hopeless timeline it creates? My last hour recording, for example, shows as being 4 min long in PVRX2 and it crashes the PCH on playback requiring a power off to get it restarted.
Just as well I left one PVR150 in my machine - it is now elevated to the top of the source list!
The attachment at 15:18:13:400 shows the PCH crash FWIW.
I have been trying to debug some issues whereby 1080i channels render a black screen under VMR9. Using graphedit (and the rare proppage.dll) and the reg key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Devnz\AddGraphToROT=1 (DWORD)
I have been able to get a test graph up and working which displays the same black screen when playing from a file. Then, by changing things one at a time, figure out which component exactly is causing it. It's the 'Video Renderer' no suprise.
The video renderer is contained in Quartz.dll, version 6.5.2600.3367 is installed on my system.
Here is the graph (with a new backed for file playing) that is a copy of what GBPVR creates:
Here is the properties page of the Video renderer when it is in the offending mode:
Note the ProcAmp tab, and the contrast setting.
Now here is the config tab:
Note that it has no status (mixing mode or otherwise) above the # of pins config where it usually is.
Now, I deleted this renderer and went under DirectShow Filters and inserted the first video renderer of the two available:
This turned out to be VMR 7, not 9. 9 was no where to be found (where is it?).
This renderer, even when in mixing mode, never had a ProcAmp tab. And it worked great, never a black screen.
So, why isn't VMR 7 available as a rendering option for PVRX2, but is for GBPVR.exe, and do you see any issues with the versions and configs I have pictured?
I have attached the offending (for my system XP SP2 DX9.0c) graph.
I have been doing some tweaking to get my MVP to work. I screwed something up, but I can't figure out what. Whenever I try to play divx and .mpg files from my Video Library it crashes and goes back to the Main Menu. I have attached the logs. The videos play fine outside of GB-PVR in either Windows Media Player, or VLC.
For some reason, my weather plugin won't allow me to select the city. In addition, my youtube plugin doesn't show on the menu even though it's checked in the configuration--plugin. Can anyone help me?
Got my HD-PVR, and was wondering if anyone has gotten the included IR blaster to successfully and reliably change channels on a cable or satellite set top box with GB-PVR's haupblaster.exe? I've heard success with the USB-URT thing, but didn't want to spend another $50 after buying a Harmony remote.

In Pending list (is this just a feature of XRecord? If so, ignore) would be really nice to see which capture source is being used for a program, if I have more then one capture source
