Now that my PVR has established a decent amount of recording history I've run into a problem explaining to the wife why some of her recordings didn't occur. It would be nice if GBPVR could monitor the recordings that are dubbed "previously recorded" and output that information within the application.

I think the new System menu would be a great place to view such a list. Adding a panel display that would list, for example, the number of recordings scheduled to be skipped during the next 24 hours would be equally appealing.

Am I making sense?

I don't usually forward emails that I get asking to sign anything but I looked into one I got today and felt confident enough to drop it here. There are some that want to charge for use of the internet. What I found was "Congress is about to sell out the Internet by letting big phone and cable companies set up toll booths along the information superhighway. Companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending tens of millions in Washington to kill "network neutrality" -- a principle that keeps the Internet open to all.

The issue moving quickly through Congress would let these companies become Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow -- and which won't load at all -- based on who pays them more. The rest of us will be detoured to the "slow lane", clicking furiously and waiting for our favorite sites to download.

Don't let Congress ruin the Internet:"

So, if you feel confident, sign up.True Majority

When FFmpeg is true, and GB-PVR does not use the Trans2MVP.bat It seems to use the Pal cmdline...

<MVPTranscodeUsingFFmpeg>true</MVPTranscodeUsingFFmpeg>
<MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLinePAL>-y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" {SEEK_CMD} -b 2400 -ac 2 -ab 224 -r 25 -s 352x288 ......

The avi is ntsc film, (23.97), standard HD 16.9 format. The vid won't play longer than about a minute or so. and it seems that the Pal line is called...

When I play with aspect ratios and stuff in the pal command line, things change.

I just installed V0.97.9. When I click on Live TV, I get the sound of a channel, but no picture.

What do I need to do to get the picture also? Have I got something wrong in Config? I have a Hauppauge 250PVR card.

Hello,

I wondered if anyone can confirm that Hipsend works with a UK Sky Digibox (STB)? I'm using an MCE 2005 remote model 2A.

I'm trying to set up GB-PVR and although I can get the IR blaster to flash, and have tried many different positions, including up against the Digibox IR sensor, I can't seem to get the Digibox channels to change.

I'm at the stage of teaching Hip the remote codes for the STB remote control. Within Hip I tried the "Test Send IR" option but, although the IR Blaster is flashing it does not change the STB to the selected number.

I previously tried using the built in MCE blaster support of GB-PVR 97.7, and here again, although the blaster flashed in response to e.g. selecting a TV Guide programme to watch, it had no effect on the STB channel numbers.

I've searched the forum but can't find anyone who seems to have the Digibox channel changing working.

Thanks,

Can anyone please help?

I have just uploaded version 1.0 of a Screen Saver plugin with multiple options.

Choice of 6 screen savers:

• Blank - full screen, pure black.
  
• Basic - just a GBPVR logo.
  
• Picture slideshow - choose a source folder using the config app.
  
• 2 Clocks - chose from analog and digital varities.
  
• Now playing - Displays current track info (MP3) on screen. Choose an alternative screen saver to show if no music playing using the config app.
  

I have installed the latest gbpvr and have it transcode automatically to divx (from mpeg2, hauppauage 250). When selecting divx from the drop down menu in the processing tab the settings button is grayed out, how can I access the settings? I tried to get into divx setting from another program and set it to deinterlace source and resize to 640x480, but these setting were ignored, video came out interlaced and 720x480. Please help

When watching Live tv I am not seeing the the overlay as seen in the screenshot that shows me what channel I have switched to, am I missing something in the settings to enable this.

I'm working on building my GB-PVR home theater computer and was wondering everyone's thoughts on a TV out card. I'm working on a pretty tight budget (less than $75 if possible).

I currently have an old ATI Radeon VE and when I use the S-Video to output to my TV, GB-PVR works OK but it is almost impossible to read any text it's so blurry. I've put it on the lowest resolution and it barely helps.

Any ideas or suggestions?
