Everything with v1.08 initially seems to be working fine except for the playback of recorded shows.
When I playback a recording it is DARK, so dark I can only barely make out that there is any motion there at all. The moment I pause or skip forward or anything like that everything brightens up and looks great.
I have started with the -fse switch with no change, it is still dark.
I tried in GBPVR with the VMR9, Custom, and FSE and there are no problems there.
I have been using the Cyberlink PDVD7 Video Decoder as I have found that has historically given me the smoothest playback on my system but in an effort to fix this I tried the DSCALER, ATI, NVIDIA, NERO, MPV, and GPL decoders as well and they behaved the same.
Any Ideas?

I installed 1.08 and have been having a seemingly sporadic remote issue. Most of the time everything works great. But it seems approximately 50% of the time when I play a recording, or file from the video library, the system stops accepting commands from the remote. I tried accessing the keyboard(hitting escape, forward/backward arrows, but nothing was happening and the OSD didn't come up. If I move the mouse, the osd will appear and if I click once, on subsequent clicks I am able to drag the progress bar and the video jumps accordingly and the remote will function again. If I exit the video at this point the remote is working fine in menus.
The thing that threw me is that the volume osd works fine even when the other functions are not, but I believe this is becase the volume is controling the windows volume which I imagine GBpvr is monitoring and displaying the OSD on change.
I'm thinking it has something to do with the application focus as a mouse click brings back functionality, but I am unsure as to the cause or a solution.
1. Is there a way to tweak the font size for the interface on the MVP? The new skin is nice but my TV is small and the fonts are very hard to read. Something in the skin .xml file maybe?
2. I liked having the current time display in the bottom status bar when you hit the blue button on the remote. This seems to be gone in the new version. Does anyone think there is a way to bring that back?
What MVP/GBPVR services should be running in the background? I seem to remember 1 other GBPVR service besides the recording service.
Also, other than setting the number of servers in config, is there any other way to restart the mvp servers?
you soft seems very good guys, but I have a problem
my DVB-T Usb card 'ATOPIA AT-TV USB3' doesn't seems supported (http://www.atopia.com.tw)
could you help me to do it work with your software
My impression so far is that MVP seems to respond alot faster to my remote control commands with the new version. I guess with all the warnings about it might be slower, I found this to be a pleasant surprise. I have pretty old hardware on my server P4 2000 with 512 mb memory.
I do seem to have lost the ability to skip past songs in the music library though when using a playlist. I use to be able to skip to next song by hitting the skip button. It seems to have no effect now.
Could someone please either post or send to me privately, the instructions for setting up the Hauppauge 150 card?
I followed the instructions on the Hauppauge site but there is absolutely no correlation of what happens with the site's instructions. I see no 'setup.exe' file anywhere and I'm sitting here with a driver but have no clue how to install.
I tried to start over and run HCWDriverInstall.exe
But, I immediately get the response message, "directory\HcwDriverInstall.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
This is crappy software, imho. I didn't think I'd need the CD. Now, if I can't get this working, I have to wait. Theoretically, I shouldn't need it.
I have drivers showing in the Hardware Drivers list but I never noticed any setup.exe file or any Win2000 icon so I don't know what happened.
