I have everything selected right. Cable source is from the next town over from me but the times are all screwed up. I am using Zap2it and I am wondering if this could be something wrong with my registration there with a timezone error of if this is with my GBPVR setup?
I just upgraded to v96.8 and the weather plugin no longer appears in the main menu. It does show up in config and it is enabled. Anyone else seeing this?
Second, I only have the Blue skin showing up in the skin dropdown in config. How do I enable the other skins that have directories under /skin?
I would like to be able to jump in the EPG a day or even the ability to jump to a certain day. Now, as far as I know, you have to scroll through all the hours if you want to see what is on in a couple of days.
according to a review on amazon.com "The Dead Zone Season 1" doesnt come with the first disc when you buy it, you have to send away for it. however im in NZ and i doubt they will send it to me, the wankers. so before i buy this i was wondering if anyone knows if this review is just a load of crap and you do infact get the first disc (why on earth would they make you send away for the first disc....).
I use ffmpeg to transcode to MVP, and I was wondering if there's any way to have two separate settings for the output. For example...
When I'm playing back widescreen content, I use the params "-padtop 64" and "-padbottom 64" along with an output size of 640x352 in config.xml to provide a final size of 640x480 to the MVP, this way I get the black bars and the sides of the movie are not cut off (there's still a little bit of overscan but much better than default)
However when I play 4:3 content, I have to go back into config.xml and change the settings to 640x480 with no padding otherwise my 4:3 content gets squished and black bars added.
It would be nice if there were two settings, and maybe GB-PVR could prompt you for the aspect of the content when you play an .avi, before it starts ffmpeg. Something similar to the resume prompt on mpeg files, only instead it would ask "is this file 4:3 or 16:9?"
I hope this makes sense, and I hope it's not too difficult to implement, as it would greatly enhance the experience of using GB-PVR with the MVP. There's nothing like having to edit an XML file every time you watch something to remind you that you're using a PC instead of a "true" set-top box.
Blue-AM is intended as a starter skin for new skin designers that want Appearance Manager support.
If you are looking for a mature skin with AM support, look to The Collection, Plain Jane, or Chameleon. Olbia and SharperEdge support AM, but I'm not sure to what extent.
The latest version is now available from the wiki!
Note that Appearance Manager must be installed separately.
I just installed GB-PVR to .96.8 and I thought I would play with xRecord again.

I have one MVP server set to autorun, but the process isn't completely hidden. If I ALT+TAB it shows up in the list and if I accidentally bring it up, I can't get it to go away again unless I close it, which appears to simply start another partially hidden server.
Is there no way to hide the process completely so that it only shows up on the task list?
