It would be cool if GB-PVR could be use transparent so that we could watch a movie will working on an open document for example.
I have tried so software that can change the alpha setting of all the programs, but it does not seems to works fine with videos...
From what I gather there are no settings the the gbpvr config utility that affect audio playback on an MVP right?
I have recorded some shows and movies that play back very nicely on my MVP.
(new setup here)
However I recorded, in its entirety, season 4 of the show "24" (for my wife) as it was on A&E yesterday and the day before.
When these shows play back the video is fine and the audio is fair. By fair I mean that its not awful but every so often a syllable or two are dropped when people are talking, things like that.
I assume this is just the quality of the signal while recording? or are there any settings that could improve audio here?
I plan on getting a new 250 gb drive and formatting with 64kb sectors for better playback and putting all the existing recording on there - that would help right?
Am I missing something, but didn't GBPVR in previous versions also had some prerecording.bat or preprocessing.bat support? Has it disappear in recent versions? I have such files residing on my filesystem, containing some tasks, but after many-many updates of GBPVR they won't run any more...?
I'm getting an "Out of Memory" error every time I try to enter the "Recordings" menu in v. 0.93.10. I've searched the forums but I can't seem to find anyone else with my particular problem. I'm hoping it's something simple that I can fix so I don't burden sub with any more than he's already working on.
I had multiple plug-ins and skins installed and decided just to export my recordings, Uninstall, Delete the GBPVR directory, reinstall, and import the recordings. But I'm still getting the same error:

I now have the latest versions of XRecord, Weather, and Shutdown. XRecord is working fine in the meantime, but I'd love to have my "Keep at Most" and "Recent Recordings" options back.
After upgrading to 0.93.10, I noticed that my mouse cursor keeps disappearing. I'm using dual monitors, with GB-PVR on one display, while I work on the other.
While GB-PVR is running, my mouse pointer will just disappear. When I move the mouse over to the second display where GB-PVR is running, the cursor re-appears and I'm able to use it again for a few seconds until it disappears again.
1. Which parameters are sent to PostProcessing.bat?
2. Is the filename parameter encoded in any way (to handle spaces etc)?
e.g. if the full path is d:\tv\CSI Miami\CSI Miami_20050906_12001300.mpg wont that be interpreted as 3 parameters by the bat file?
I have Hauppauge PVR150 from which I could hibernate PVR successfully. I have IR keyboard, which wakes up PVR computer from hibernate when pressing space. Is there any way to combine this that I could wake up PVR from hibernate with Hauppauge remote?
When using networked setup and scheduling recording to "real" PVR machine, it:
1) "thinks" a long time after submitting recording and finally gives error as there has been time-out connecting to recording service. But in fact it has submitted show for recording, as it shows up in master PVR's scheduled list. So, why this timeout?
2) won't wake master pvr up from standby/hibernate. show is listed as scheduled recording, but won't wake up. Unless the show is scheduled to future and there has been scheduled another recording physically from the master pvr machine console to start before it. So, it seems like recording service can't set new wake-up times when recording has been scheduled from remote "fat client".
New to gb-pvr ... (I've been trying all sorts of plug-ins and reading your forum today)
One question that i couldn't find a final answer on (it was mentioned) with the music player. I downloaded the most recent version of the music player and installed...
I found the following>
Under gbpvr the jukebox works fine ... when using media-mvp server, it plays one tune and stops.
Also, ctrl-R (Delete) button works on future plays ... but on past (which aren't removed from list) or current ... an object not found error is displayed. (this happens with both gbpvr/non-media-mvp and gbpvr/media-mvp ui).
Any thoughts? I checked the log files and don't see any unusual error messages.
I've configured GBPVR to record to UNC path, which resides actually on the same machine (I need to use UNC as I run networked clients of GBPVR).
When I record something manually it shows up in Ready recording group as \\192.168.0.102\pvr\Manual, opening this group it shows corretly recordings list as Manual (without unc). So, it is very nice if in next patch showing groups as full unc pathnames is fixed :-)
