Is there a way to configure the Video Library to view a specific folder? Say - C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Videos.

This is where I keep all my videos from my camcorder. As it is now, I need to navigate to this folder every time I open the Video Library.

Thanks.

We are a handlful of skin adicts here at the Forum that might be interested to have more skinning possibilities. I guess we have all wished for some features every now and then when we have gotten an idea for a design....so what have you ever wished for?

The intention with this tread is to collect skinning suggestion for eventual consideration by Sub.....some day.

Main Menu

* Possibility for Dual Task Images. One small in the button and one larger in main view.
(possibility to emulate Medeeo HDeeTV skin)

* Possibility to use "Cutaway" in Horizontal menus...with Dual TaskImages

* Possibility to use TaskImages with all Menu types/Horizontal Menus

* Possibilty to have the Task Title in the Main view with all Menu types....like TaskDescriptions, not only in the buttons

* Support for Flash animations as a task image. (Meedio have this feature)

* Support for animated GIF (MP have this, but it is not so interesting perhaps)

* Possibility to start TV directly in Windowed "Home" mode... when GBPVR is launched.

Sub Menus General

* Have a web hyperlink related to an image.

OSD Menu

* Support for "mouse over" image. (Is it there already someway?)

Search Menu

* Possibility for Horizontal Search Letters

TV Guide

* Possibility to use fill color - Vertical #color-#color and/or images for a selected program.

* Popup uses NormalButton images instead of Popup ButtonImage. I added the CompositeImage for buttons to limit the width of buttons in the popup.

Recordings Menu

* Popup should use Popup button Images, but now it uses NormalButton Images that looks strange when left edge buttons are used (Avance ThemePack)

* Manual recordings screen - positioning possibilities of elements in X direction

Video, Music Photo List view

* Possibility to have an image for selected/unselected item.

Skin Tools
A silent program that can harvest the sub menus and change the loc params for the ScreenName Title ...... with a ThemePack


I will add more things when they comes to mind or if a suggestion comes from anyone.

I was fooling around with my setup, to try and improve playback of live tv in GBPVR. I discovered that setting it to "VMR7" in GBPVR config produced the best results. However, when I now try playing video files in any other app, such as media player classic, vlc, or power dvd, they play in black and white. They have color when played by GBPVR.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Never mind. I rebooted, and the color is now back.

I have recieved PVR500/radio but was surpriced not to be able to use it on WXP, without 3'part-sw.
I have now installed GB-PVR, which sounds like THE product. However I can't fig out how to get going ;(
The config. contains a lot of abrevations, that tells me nothing, but I setup like following:
Recording device: Name: "TV1" Direct Recording Plugin" -> "hauppauge PVR500" "Denmark" "capture device#1" "internal tuner" "live tv"
EPC source: "none"
"no channel changer requered"

To start I just want to watch TV, on both tuners, and the goon from there.
I have scanned all channels and found ~50 in the channelscanner, but how do I get thos channels into the GBPVR?
I've tried one channel manually which is selectable in TVmode, but this gives very bad and schivering picture.

Hi,

Is there any way a plugin could be written to open up for the possibility to do a IMDB, Amazon, etc lookup regarding the selected program in the TV guide. Something similar to what exists in the MyVideo plugin. With this you could quickly based on the title of the show or movie, look up other intresting information such as actors, year, rating etc.

I was using a PVR150 and GBPVR with no problem when I switched from cable to Directv. I was reviewing how to use the external box on here and saw that there were updated drivers and apps that worked better with the new boxes, so I downloaded them.

Here's the problem, when I run the first update (pvr150_500_basedriver_2043_24103.exe), the screen goes black. If I reboot, as soon as the driver for the card loads, the screen goes black and locks up.

Anybody have any experience with this kind of problem?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi,

I have been using this for ages and occasionally put a recording (mpeg file recorded from a hauppauge PVR-250 card) on to dvd using a video editing package and it took ages to convert and get the dvd burnt. I know this is not a very efficent way.

So..

Whats the best way to get a mpeg to dvd, and as fast as possible? Also I have a few dvd-to-mpeg recordings that I wanna put back on dvd due to lost dvds.

Is there a tool that can be run on all the mpeg files to get them in a more compatable format. It does though need to be left in a playable format for the MVP.

Sorry if this does not read well my english is a little bad, any help would be great. I have looked on here for a while and found various answers but all very confusing, so sorry if this has already been addressed.

Really basic question here:

Looking at the wiki and the screen shots, there's mentioned and shown the DVD button from the main menu. "To play a DVD disc, just use the button

Even though I have that option checked in config and it should show up as the top-most button, it doesn't actually exist in GBPVR.

I only have a couple optional plugins installed, XDVD is one; did it replace it?

I'm using ContourHC skin, and just updated to the latest GBPVR- I didn't hae the button before the upgrade either.

Thanks,
