I have increased the font sizes specified in the various skin.xml files to make the text more readable for me, but this has resulted in some improper placement of text, with some text overlapping. See attached screenshot.
I can't figure out how to adjust the text placement to correct this. Can anyone help me out with this?
It would be nice if every skin author could comment their files the way that this file is: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Skinning/Fastfind
Here's the muxes I've tried and the results I've gotten:
CyberLink MPEG Muxer
VERSION: 5.0.0727
The .mpg files are jittery like there's slight pauses every few seconds.
CyberLink MPEG Muxer
VERSION: 5.0.0813
Same as the previous version of the Cyberlink Muxer.
ShowShifter MPEG PS Writer
VERSION: 3.12.0.2945
This one doesn't record anything, it just seems to hang.
ts muxer
Someties this creates .ts files and sometimes it creates 0kb files.
Microsoft DVR-MS muxer
This works great. The files are clean and they playback well. However, mencoder can't transcode it and I don't want to add another step of converting it to a mpg file. I'd like to keep the number of time I process a 7 gig file to minimum .
I'm running the latest DVICO drivers (3.00.02 I believe)
Anyone have any luck with any versions of the muxers?
I'm a big fan of GB-PVR but I can't get the image quality as high as when I use dScaler on its own. I've tried using mediaPortal as it supports dScaler but I can't get it to display anything. Ideally I'd love to keep using GB-PVR so are there any plans to support dScaler? Good work here fellas, great app. top community. Oh, and I rekon the default skin is top notch so quit down-praising yourself.
Jeff has had it for a while, and Jorm has added it, and it really helps usage. I don't look at pictures often, so I can't always remember what button does what.
Also, where it's been added, it's a big WAF upgrade, and I find she uses those plugins a lot more. Since she uses pictures more than I do, it would be a big improvement for her.
I need to move all my recordings/video/photos etc to another hard drive. Am i right in assuming all i need to do is change the paths in the database (gbpvr.mdb) and change the paths in the config app to point to the new drive? Any other places i need to change in the registry/some hidden file?
I know plugins can be accessed while watching Live TV by adding them in config.xml but they view at full screen and sometimes it's distracting. Also, don't know if it will work with Live TV on Live TV.
Wished there was a real PIP, probably a smaller window in a corner using another free tuner (provided it's available) to view other channels while watching another channel. Combined with the live tv guide, a chance to preview the show without removing the original show would be a good feature then switch if I like previewed show.
Got my MVP, all is hooked up and working great, even customized "MountainLake" skin with my own pics etc.
The question I have is the "browse mini guide" ... I can't get it to come up. I can show the channel info etc for the current channel but not the miniguide. Anyone know how to do this? Anyone have a map of what all the buttons actually do?
Not sure if there's a way to satisfy this now which I haven't had, but what I would find useful (and more comfortable re giving others in the family access to the gbpvr menus) is some level of protection against accidental deletion of TV recordings. For example maybe via:
- confirmation required or
- undo function or
- even just leave recordings in directory and require manual deletion or
- as above but with automatic deletion after 7 days or if you run out of disk space.
