I've read other threads on MVP problems, I've two MVP's but only wish to use one at the moment, they are an "86002 REV D3A LOT4103" and a newer "86020 REV H3 LOT2106" this has the digital out connection.
I've installed the Hauppauge software from the CD marked Version 3.1 and disabled both services as recommended. The later H3 only works with the gbmvp dongle the D3A doesn't work at all with this software.
When the MVP boots the GBPVR does not fill the TV height fully, I've always had the size set to W 704, H 568, and the offsets set to 8 & 15, if I change the height or its offset in the config it doesn't change the position on the screen any more.
Most things seem to work but each time I try to watch a previously recorded program the MVP crashes.
Any ideas. All these problems seem to have started since I've upgraded to the latest version of GBPVR V97.13).
I've attached a log file, hope it's the right one.
Rather than wait until I get back, I'd like to be able to switch to lower-res versions of my shows while I'm on the road so that I can download them faster.
I looked at the Capture Settings on GB-Config and could not see any way to specify MPEG-1 encoding (VCD or SVCD).
Questions:
1) What parameter values should I use in GB-Config to record to a VCD-compliant stream? What about SVCD?
2) For a given file size, would I get a higher quality picture by instead backing off the bit rate/resolution and using MPEG-2 instead? If so, what values would people suggest?
I'm trying to keep each hour of programming at 500 MBytes or less.
I'm not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but I was able to get this inexpensive card working with gbpvr with the following .ini entry:

I had seen some posts from a year back, or so, where newbies like myself had been unable to get this card working.
Now if I could just get my MVP to boot . . .
(but that's another thread)
I noticed in another post you are planning to add a popup box that while watching Live TV and a pending recording is about to start you will ask the user if they wish to watch the recorded program or cancel the recording, and if they don't respond it will default to kicking back out to the main menu. Could this be configurable to change the default to staying in live tv and watch the program being recorded? The wife always thinks something went wrong when it just kicks back to the main menu (not very computer literate) and then she immediately thinks she did something to break it. Thanks.
I recently switched to use time shifting mode at all times.. I have a settop box so its no real difference in time and speed.
Having said that...there seems to be a few bugs.
1. When turning channels, it enables time shifting mode, then turns the channel. It should do this the other way around. So that by the time the channel has turned time shifting has been enabled. Right now it enables time shift, turns channel. Wasting about 2-3 seconds.
2. When it switches over to a new time block/new show. It hiccups and occasionally locks up.
3. When left paused on a show for a period of approx. 45 minutes.. It takes almost 20 seconds for it to resume playing.
4. I'd like it so that when i pause. there is no OSD. Alot of times i pause to try to read something or catch some small detail. And the OSD gets in the way. Blue button, or any button will not remove OSD.
Its possible that those that view this child board have seen this. You may have read recents posts similar to this elsewhere.
If not, this is a fully functional GB-PVR skin that sub posted if anyone missed it.

Notice how little there is in there.
Does your plugin, or your favorite plugins work with it?
With upcoming changes in the baseskin.xml file, it would be possible to have a skin this "small" and work with many more plugins and have the same look.
This is another example, basically the same thing, but uses images for buttons.
(I added AM support in there so you could play with changing backgrounds and buttons, only two button styles provided.)

These are examples of how "simple" new, "complete" skins in the future could be. Custom "complex" skins, will still be around and work, but part of that complexity will be simplified for the skinner. Those changes would mean only one skin.xml file by a plugin developer would work with either of those skins (edit:word was plugins), along with 'Blue'.
Is there a plugin that is similar to the mpeg disc burner for mediaportal or a way to modify the dvd burner plugin to burn the mpegs recordings straight to a disc? It'll be good for GBPVR to have somethin like that.
Hello - I've just got my GB-PVR and MVP up and running.
Quick question - If I have recordings scheduled and then hit the power button on my Hauppauge remote to turn my MVP off, it will still record as long as my PC is still on and I see the GB-PVR icon in my tray, correct?
