Since I upgraded to 99.12, the picture displays about a 1 inch black border around the active area. I switched back to VMR9 Custom, and have fiddled with nearly every video setting I can find (they are now back where I started) but even in windowed mode, there is this black border where the picture used to fill the screen.

Any ideas?

I've encountered a problem that I managed to solve by switching decoders, but I thought I'd better report it as it might come back to bite me later.

I just upgraded from 99.05 to 99.12. I also installed the latest patches from:
- GVPRecordingService.zip
- mem-usage.zip
- GPVR.zip

I am using a Hauppauge 150MCE under Windows XP MCE Rollup 2 connected to Freeview UK digital to air service.

For some programmes the picture is showing in the top left corner of the screen (sometimes in an incorrect aspect ratio) with the rest of the screen being made up from gibberish or the occasional chunk of a previous channel. The OSD displays at the correct place on the screen. See attached screen shots.

When first displaying the problem program, it displays correctly full screen for a second or two before reverting to the problem display.

The problem appears to be program rather than channel related. The problem consistently occurs for some programs and immediately disappears when a new program/adverts are shown (and vice versa). '+1' channels sometimes display correctly when the main channel doesn't and vice versa.

I can't spot a pattern about what works and what doesn't. It tends to occur with older programs, but not exclusively. It tends to occur with non-widescreen programs but, again, not exclusively.

I never saw the problem before upgrading.

I tried rebooting and re-running config. I tried switching from nVidia to Cyberlink (PowerDVD7) and it didn't fix the problem.

Switching to Intervideo did fix the problem!

CircuitCity has the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1600 HDTV 1080i PCI Tuner for $80 - $20MIR = $60. Select in store pickup. Thanks revivalizt.


-> I would totally buy one if I had the money to buy a HDTV...

I am using 99.12 with Vista Ultimate and it refuses to play a recording while it is being recorded. Says "Error: Failure Playing Back File"

I have the logs zipped up below.

My MVP behaves pretty damb well - the only problems I have is occiassionally when doing a fair bit of skipping it stops responding to the remote for a while (I think its more GBPVR MVP server stops responding to the requests) and then suddenly it may pause or skip and go back to normal - this I can live with, I just have to treat skipping a little different then I do in the lounge with the PC and try to do it a little slower. My main problem is that when I pause playback if its paused for more than a minute (this is a guess - but roughly a minute) it will seem to drop the connection and reboot - It always boots back in ok and I can resume playback but its a nusance as my wife is Obsesive compulsive - she'll shoot to the loo and then while in the bathroom suddenly notice the vanity has a hair on it and have to stay and clean it so my "quick" pauses often stretch to 2 minutes and it always drops.

Ok - I know you've seen this before - and I love the new U/D buttons in the config that help with this -

But... currently the search order for live TV and recorded TV are lock stepped in reverse of each other. What I'd like to do is to be able to simply set a numerical priority for recording and a different numerical priority for live TV per source (or at least have them search in the same order.)

Here what is causing the issue -
I have developed a plug in recorder that spits out TVPI files and the registers them with any recording program that uses TVPI - this allows me to record HDTV with the DVICO cards for example. Since it is separate from GBPVR it can't be used for live TV and should be the last in line for recording. But if I put it last in line - GBPVR tries to use it for live TV and no TV :eek:

So I can think of three solutions :
1) can I have the tuner plug in check if it is a live request and return not it is not available somehow so it moves to the next option? (easiest for you if I can - I just need to know what to check and what to return)

2) Make live and record TV priority the same order (or make this a configuration option)

3) Separate settings for priority for TV and Tuning,

I would think that others would have use for the numerical priority settings,

As always thanks for the great work - CarpeV,

I've tried to find the post that describes this, but i just cant find it unless its removed

is there any documentation/help with regard to converting ts hd files to hdv mpeg format or (better still) divx hd? although ts files play really well in media player classic (i have core avc), getting them converted is proving troublesome. any help appreciated.
