For me PVRX2 has a problem displaying the correct aspect ratio on 16x9 digital recordings. When I first load PVRX2 it shows the correct aspect ratio, but if you play any 4x3 video and then try to play a 16x9 recording, auto aspect ratio fails and displays the video vertically stretched to fill the full screen. I don't have this problem with the GBPVR.exe, it switches from 16x9 to 4x3 automatically, even within video files.
I've reproduced the problem and attached the logs: play 16x9 recording exit - play 4x3 recording exit - play same 16x9 recording.
I have some questions regarding the main menu skin:
(1) Some time ago you mentioned in the pre-release forum that the horizontal menu task has been added to pvrx2. It would be nice if you could show an example on how to use it.
(2) How do I adjust the spacing between the buttons? The "offset" parameter inside the "MenuButtonOrigin" placement doesn't seem to have any effect?
(3) What does "rightShift" and "withInsetX" do?
(4) I've recognized that I can use the "@taskImage" parameter inside the buttons to draw the taskimage inside the button composite image - but it doesn't work for the "exit" task (seems like a small bug to me).
(5) The panels (next recording) are not yet included in pvrx2. are they?
I have a lot of music on my system. However some of the files wont play in PVRX2 but in GBPVR. See attached logs. All my files play fine in VLC and creastive media play.
[EDIT] Ignore the below - after a night of sleep, some judicious filter uninstalling, some system audio changes and a couple of reboots, the audio appears to now work. Now for the GB-PVR install...
Quote:Finally got around to replacing my current gb-pvr box with something newer/better (prompted by a computer-frying power surge) and am changing the box from 2000 to XP while I'm at it.
I'd forgotten just what a PITA it is to set up a media computer - my first try where I installed everything I thought necessary resulted in a crashing GB-PVR config and no media files playing correctly.
Attempt two has been taken more slowly, and I am trying to get basic file playing sorted first before installing gbpvr. After several hours of effort, g-spot use and selective uninstalling, I finally have a correctly working mpg video codec, and now am trying to sort out the SPDIF audio.
I have got as far as figuring out that I need to change the audio renderer in graphedit from "Default DirectSound device" to being the filter "DirectSound: Realtek HD Audio output" (and not the filter "Realtek HD Audio output" which is another option and appears to be the one listed in the dxdiag program).
So after four or five hours I am almost at the stage where I can both see and hear existing recordings - I'm just not sure what to do next. Ideally I suppose I would like to change the default DirectSound device, but am not sure how. Standard FilterManager merit settings don't appear to apply to Audio Renderers, and I am loath to simply unregister existing renderers willy-nilly.
Or maybe I can use the graphedit filters to do the job for me? Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
cheers,

(and I'm not even going to get into the problems I'm having trying to get both the TV-out and monitor out working simultaneously with the onboard x1250 video card

I have had this issue in many builds on more than one PC.
I install the Cyberlink Mux (MpgMux_5.0.0.1307_.ax) on my PC, then try and record either Stratos or Parliament TV (both NZ satellite channels), they both end up with really choppy footage.
I deregister the Cyberlink mux and record in DVR-MS and the footage is generally perfect or close to it.
Has anyone got any ideas what this mux would do to cause this? I can live with the work around, but would prefer to use Cyberlink.
It's not the PC, as it's only using 10% CPU maximum. All other channels are fine.
Card: Hauppauge HVR3000 using DVB-S

i was just wondering if i could get a little help setting up GBPVR release 1.1.5 (i think, the most recent one). i am new to computers in general and just wanted the best player for the WinTV Nova-t-500 as the software that comes with it seems a bit rubbish.
i say this as there isn't a guide for programs that you can see while having the program on, it seems slow and simply that the reviews and screenshots for GBPVR seem so much better.
i started by downloading the new release but as i am new to this, i was expecting a desktop icon maybe to just click for example. when this wasn't there i clicked many of the parts that now registered in the 'all programs' menu but the ones i clicked on seemed to be trying to configure or set something up and all came back with an error such as 1706 saying that it couldn't find something or other.
i would be grateful for help such as do i need to uninstall any of the hauppauge software before downloading? what do i set in any configure screens? how do i get the main user interface?
i have seen mention of net framework which i have installed right the way up to 3.0.
i appologise for how much help on this i seem to need but it seems that i need the most basic of beginners guides.
Are there issues with GB-PVR co-existing with MediaPortal Server? (aka TVEngine)
I installed it to stream the TV across my LAN (it does a better job at that than GB-PVR IMO), now live TV doesn't want to work any more giving me a divide by zero error.
I've tried setting the MediaPortal service to manual start and restarting Windows, but I still get the same error.
In the meantime, i've resorted to removing MediaPortal until I need it next.
