Hi everyone,
I would first thank the people working on the project and tell them they're doing a great job !
The reason i'm posting here is that I have some problems with the 4/3 - 16/9 commuting. I just formatted my pc, before the format everything was working very well but now I have a problem when I zap from a channel that is in 16/9 to a channel in 4/3. The 4/3 channel screen is splitted in two parts, the left part is the feed from the channel, the other is a part of the previous channel. As I said, i didn't have that problem before the format. What's missing ?
I have a pinnacle pal 300i media center DVB-T card. I'm talking about DVB-T Channels.
My OS is WinXP SP2 and i've installed the drivers and software from pinnacle cd...
I am a total Nube at this so please forgive me.... I own a wintv go-plus and am really disappointed with the software GBPVR looks fantastic... but this card is not supported...YET?? (I type hopefully) Is there anything that can be suggested short of investing even more money into a new card. a forum search for "WINTV GO" found nothing. I am running win WX pro and the driver is WinTV 878/9WDM
I've been looking for the command line parameters for gbpvr.exe startup and haven't been able to find them. Can someone point out where they are please?
I'm interested in the POSITION parameters, so that I can start up GB-PVR windowless on my secondary monitor (TV out), noting that my TV is in another room.
Playing Music Library through MVP I find as follows:
IF GBPVR screensaver is on, it seems that the song does not finish - it stops when screensaver kicks in
IF GBPVR screensaver is off, song continues to the end (even if MVP screensaver kicks in) but "Play All" always stops after first song. Server or connection are not lost, I can play any other song, but play all never plays all
Thanks for any help

First time user trying to set up my AverMedia A180 HD card to work with GBPVR. Stumbled around in the dark with GraphEdit and finally added the following section to BDA.ini - I THINK it's right, but since I can't get GB-PVR to work, not sure if this is the problem or something else:
[AVerMedia A180]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=AVerTVHD A180 BDA ATSC Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=AVerTVHD A180 BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
In the config, under "Capture Sources", I've set one up (chose my card in the dropdown), and configured it to use my Zap2It account. It successfully connects with my ID and PWD, and gets my channel info because I see it add my channels to the "Channels" grid in the config. Oddly though - when I go back into the config, all the "Enabled" checkboxes are unchecked.
Anyway, after I do an "Update EPG" (takes a few minutes with my lousy 64k ISDN connection), I exit out of the configurator and start GB-PVR. Whenever I hit "Live TV" or "TV Guide" I get an error dialog: "No channels have been set up. Please run the config utility and set up the EPG source, etc etc etc".
Any thoughts? There are a lot of .log files I could post, but I wasn't sure which would be important to send...
Oh, btw - I'm on Windows XP with SP2. And when I run "MUXChecker" it tells me I don't have any on my machine, which is bogus - GraphEdit shows that filter just fine...
For the last couple of release, if I watch tv the mvp crashes and restarts at the end of the program. It used to just stutter for a second or two while it switched to the next show, but now it goes back to contacting servers. It boots right back to the main gbpvr screen, but it is a pain to have to keep resetting the channel. Part of my log is below. Any ideas? I seem to remember the "connection was aborted by the software in your host machine" message, but I can't find it on a posting.

Ok. So I just got my nice new 150MCE and added it to my 350. Everything is working great until I noticed that my remote no longer works. I searched the board and see lots about this combo not working together. My question is: has there been any solutions to making these two work together and if not what is a good replacement for my old Hauppauge? I have a usbuirt to control my sat box so I only need something to handle my gbpvr controls.
Jorm,
I just found some shows in XGuide to have a yellow-colored background. A forum thread told me that you have the ability to color-code genre and had just set SciFi to yellow.
However, since the text in the guide boxes is white (at least in the skins I've used), setting the background color to yellow in the box renders the program name (white on yellow) unreadable.
Even if that weren't a problem, once you set colors for many genre then the guide will start to look like a crazy-quilt -- not too classy.
How about something visible, but more subtle? Perhaps a small color-coded square or triangle in the upper right corner of the program box? Or a slightly thicker, color-coded border around the box? Whatever the solution, we can't sacrifice readability of the text.
