If I am watching something on Live TV, I would like to be able to press a button on my remote and have it "just start recording", and when I press the button again the recording stops.
I reserve the right to say I didn't know the feature already exists if the feature already exists.
Would it possible to add a way of moving right to the next time slot on every channel line in a small quick move link of some sort and once clicked move to the same channel line in the scroll area where you clicked.
The title pretty much says it all, I guess. I already tried searching around the forums but I didnt found anything that fixed the problem.
Im sure I have all the filters things in the direct.ini file set up correctly, but I'm not sure about the pins.
Here is what I have in the direct.ini file:
Code:

INIT_MODE=DEFAULT
INIT_MSP=0
SUPPORTS_FM_RADIO=1
DETECT_MSP=0
FILTER_CROSSBAR=Philips Cap713x Crossbar

PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_TUNER_IN=Audio Tuner In
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_DECODER_OUT=Video Decoder Out

PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_VIDEO_OUT=Analog Video

Yes, some of those values are in spanish, not sure why but thats how they appear on the FilterCheck log and in GraphEdit even though the card is american.
I already tried updating my video card drivers but nothing happens.
Help please! My HTPC uses a Palit Sonic 7300GT 256MB video card, with outputs for S-video/composite/component, VGA and DVI.
I have a standard CRT TV connected to the S-Video output (via the composite adaptor), and a Panasonic PTAX100E LCD projector plugged into the DVI socket via a DVI/HDMI adapter.
I'm using the latest NVidi drivers with DualView enabled, with the TV as the primary monitor (800 x 600) and the projector as the secondary monitor (1280 x 720).
PVRX2 is set to start on 2nd monitor, so I can watch TV & movies on the projector, and use the Windows Desktop on the TV (if I turn it on) for any debugging or configuration. Sometimes I just want to watch something on the TV though, without the projector turned on.
I have some annoying problems with this setup.
1. With only the CRT TV connected, (DVI physically unplugged) the PC boots fine and the POST messages and Windows desktop are displayed on the TV.
But if I then connect the projector via DVI/HDMI, Windows does not detect it so I can't use "Display / Properties / Advanced" to set up dual screen; and NVidia does not have the DualView option available (only Clone and Span).
This means that I cannot use the projector until I reboot. "So why boot with DVI disconnected?", you may ask.
2. Well, with both TV and DVI connected, I get a blank screen at boot (i.e. no POST messages) on either TV or projector. Both screens remain blank until Windows loads and initialises the display drivers, then everything's usually fine.
Why is this and can I do anything about it, e.g. force the card's hardware to treat the TV as primary monitor at boot time?
3. If I reboot with the projector connected but turned off, again no boot screen and I have to wait until Windows loads the drivers before I can see anything on the TV; after that it's fine although the extended desktop second monitor (projector) still seems to be "virtually" enabled.
However if I then turn the projector on, it doesn't detect any signal on the HDMI input so no image is displayed. The only way to resolve this is to reboot, which is a problem if GBPVR is in the middle of recording something.
3. Normally I leave the PC in Standby (S3) mode, so it can wake for automatic recordings. If I resume it with the projector turned on, sometimes everything is fine. Other times, the resolution of the image on the projector is mucked up and only displays the left-hand side of the image, stretched to the full width of the screen.
I usually need to reboot with both TV and Projector on to get it working again, which is a pain if it's in the middle of a recording (which it often is).
I generally know what I'm doing with PCs and haven't been able to find an obvious fix for these problems - my old FX5500 didn't seem to have half the trouble the new card does with dual TV and DVI outputs.
Any ideas how to get this working better? Is there a way to reinitialise the video card hardware from within Windows, to force it to redetect the attached screens and apply the desktop profile (as it does when Windows first starts), without a reboot?
Okay, so I finally decided to get GBPVR working for my HDTV. I took my headless server and relocated it in the living room. I left in the TwinHan ATSC capture cards and pulled out my PVR150's/MAUI III and put them in another less powerful pc for recording from my SAT receivers in the office.
Anyway, when I play HD in Media Player Classic (with Purevideo decoder) I have nice, smooth playback with about 60% CPU. When I play it back in GBPVR, I get 'stuttering' (also with 60% CPU). I've gone through several threads on the site and haven't been able to find a resolution.
Here's what I've tried (one at a time):
1. upgraded to 1.1.5 (this took care of the annoying "no signal found" bug )
2. started pvrx2 with -fse option
3. Used VMR Custom renderer
4. used MVR9 Fullscreen Exclusive renderer (same as -fse?)
5 Prior to the upgrade, also tried Overlay and VMR7
6. Tried the registry fix for purevideo
7. Set purevideo decoder properties to: Content Default, Anamorphic/Raw (reg hack did this), De-interlace control to automatic, film, video, smart
8. Tried the ATI Mpeg Video Decoder
9. Although the symptoms are different, tried the quartz.dll hotfix as a longshot.
10. changed the file format from transport stream to ms-dvr (meaning recorded new shows in ms-dvr).
11. Tried playback in GBPVR and PVRX2
No matter what I change, I get the same results. I've used several different HD shows that I've recorded, and they all stutter.
Here's my hardware config ('cause I know someone will ask ):
Celeron 2.6 Ghz, 1 GB Ram, ATI 9200SE @ 4x AGP, video going via VGA to TV.
I think the card/processor are beefy enough since I can playback smooth in MPC w/ 60% usage.
I'm convinced that it's just a single/minor setting change that I need to make in order to get the smooth playback. Does anybody have any ideas/suggestions for anything else that I can try???
