Is it my failing memory - didn't music library used to have a 'play CD'
button at one time?

I read on the official specs for GBPVR that it has Music visualisations, I have scoured the web to see if I can find out how to activate the visualisation while playing music in the music library, but can't find it anywhere. I even looked up the key guide on the official manual, but that doesn't mention how to use them either .

Does anyone use Music visualisations? Can you tell me how to use them?

I've added a command to my config.xml CustomFFmpegConversions section to select from Video Library's Transcode menu, in hopes to try converting my dvr-ms files to mpg. The option appears in the Transcode selections but it gbpvr intercepts the command and runs it's own DVR-MS to MPG conversion for me. I see gbpvrconvert running in the background instead of ffmpeg and I find a newly created mvptranscode.grf graph sitting in my gbpvr root directory.

That's nice for gbpvr to try and handle it for me , but unfortunately the Cyberlink MPEG muxer that it uses doesn't work - it crashes. I really want to use ffmpeg directly with my own command line.

First it looked like 1.2.9. was the solution to my MPEG2 decoding problems. They were all fixed using the overlay mode. But then I got strange crashes and investigated a little further

It seems I have some siginificant problems with my beta plugin in the new version 1.2.9. It was developed using 1.0.16 and works there without problems. In the new 1.2.9 it looks like the disposal of used resources does not work any longer.

When scrolling through my media lists I allocate a lot of GBPVRUiElements (some of them with memory intensive jpegs). After use they are put into an array and passed to GetPluginHelper.DisposeResources(). This works without problem in 1.0.16. However in 1.2.9 it is different. As soon as the object was passed to the rendering engine once, it is never freed afterwards. So the amount of memory keeps accumulating during operation constantly.
Could it be that there is a reference not freed in version 1.2.9.

Sub, could you be so kind to have a look. I can provide sample code if it helps.

Apart from this 1.2.9 is a dream. Thank you for it.

Hey guys. I've been trying to fix this problem for a few days and am striking out, so I thought I'd ask the experts here.

A few weeks ago my wife went to play a DVD before GB-PVR was running, and the Windows autoplay notification popped up asking what program she wanted to watch the DVD with. Not knowing any better, she double clicked Windows Media Player and also checked the box that read "Don't ask this question again".

So now every time I go to watch a DVD, WMP autoplays it. Is there a way to make this stop?

I'm currently trying to get any music played to come from the rear speakers as well as the front.
My current setup of decoders/renderers will allow TV and recorded TV (that is stereo) to use front and rear speakers.
If I play .mp3 through windows media player or Nero showtime I get front and rear speakers, but in PVRX2 I only get just front.

Has anyone and ideas or suggestions as I'm completely stumped.

As a previous user of Got All Media, one of the primary selling points was its ability to create multiple EPG lineups from one or more data sources. I couldn't find it in the Wiki, so someone tell me if this is supported.
When I am in control, I don't need all 160 or so channels to be displayed in the guide for me to wade through. I just want Discovery, History, and DIY channels. Of course, the kids just want cartoon channels and Disney, and the wife wants Hallmark and other estrogen friendly stuff. There should be a complete lineup that all the sublineups are derived from. You should be able to select "all channels", but it would sure speed up my guide perusal if I could create a few subsets of that "all-channels" EPG. My cable provider has subsets called "movies", "kids", "news and documentary", etc. Under Got All Media, I had two different lineups from two different providers on two different inputs, and I had programs from each lineup/source combined into small custom lineups that I could switch between. For example, channel 10 on the satellite set top box input was a movie channel. Channels 424, 425, 444 and 445 were movie channels on the cable set top box input were movie channels. I could create a sub lineup called "Movies" and put channel 10 from the satellite set top box input and channels 424, 425, 444 and 445 from the cable set top box input into it. So if I wanted to see what movies were on the movie channels, I just navigated the GUI to the lineup selection area, pick the movie lineup, and only have to arrow/page up/down through those 5 channels.
Am I making sense, or do I need to try to explain some other way?

Using a Nova T-500, everything working fine after plenty of reading on the forums. Have a couple of slight problems though.

Installed Hauppauge WinTV for the IR remote software, then uninstalled all the Hauppauge stuff except for the IR remote software. However when i press the "Go" button on the remote it still try's to open WinTV, and i get an error message saying the software is not installed. Is there anyway i can get it to automatically open GB-PVR?

Also i recorded a few programs (Which i transcoded to xvid via GB-PVR) i started watching them through GB-PVR and noticed when i fast forward with the remote, the picture narrows ( more black either side of the picture ). Is there anyway to stop this happening?

Thanks

i have had to reinstall gbpvr (hdd failure), and now when exiting, the program crashes. i am on 1.15 (winxp).

In order to upgrade to 1.2.9, I had to not only uninstall 1.1.5, but also remove all my .NET 2.0 software and re-install. (It is more complicated than that, since I have to use the DOT .NET Framework Cleanup Tool as well, etc.). At any rate, everything now works fine.

But I have in the past found that a registry cleaner can cause problems with .NET 2.0, and hence with installing GB-PVR. In particular, an earlier version of RegSeeker (I think 1.52) caused .NET problems that immediately appeared in the event logs, and could be cured only by re-installing .NET 2.0. The current version of RegSeeker (1.55) does not cause that, so I thought all was OK. But the problems I had with 1.2.9 lead me to believe that there were still some registry problems left over from past use of RegSeeker, which I no longer use. There could be other culprits, since I use other registry cleaners as well, but I see few if any entries related to .NET 2.0 in their logs. Has anyone had similar problems?
