Hiya folks

A couple of issues have arisen with my use of xrecord:

1. I can only see files that I place in c:\videos, other folder names don't show up. Also, the c:\videos folder will only be visible under the VIDEOS menu item. How do I get into the other XVideo paths..? I actually entered the path c:\videos in the config App rather than in the xml file.

2. I read a post from jorm stating the top level icons/pictures could be bypassed so that you are presented with a list view by changing some code in the skin.xml from:

<Advanced active="true" rows="2" columns="4" box="true"/>

to:

<Advanced active="false" rows="2" columns="4" box="true"/>

This doesn't seem to be making any difference for me.

Thanks!

Hi, Got some questions again.

1. I just want to know if there is a way to force gb-pvr to change display resolution(to 1024x768) when launch and change back to its original when shutdown(like bsplayer)?

2. It seems like when I run gb-pvr(set to full screen mode), It would go full screen mode but I could still see the windows task bar. How can I set the focus to gb-pvr when the program is launch? Its just annoying that I always have to click the gb-pvr window or in the taskbar to set the focus.

Thanks

I notice that under the Playback tab of the configuration program, there is not any support for the WINTV PVR USB2 as a Hardware Decoder. However, it is my understanding that the WINTV PVR USB2 is like the 350 card in that it also has hard PVR. I would like to see that option reflected in the Hardware Decoder in the next version.

Thanks,

First things first, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to all the people who contribute to GB-PVR. Outstanding work. I've only been using it since last weekend and I'm already a true believer! However, I seem to be having some problems with the MyMusic and MyVideos plugins when used with my MediaMVP, specifically:

1. MyMusic will only play the first song in a .m3u playlist when I select the playlist. It reads in and displays the playlist fine.

2. Pressing the "Unnamed" remote key plays only the first song in the folder (should play every file in the folder).

3. Stopping video playback (with the Stop key) before it completes causes the MVP to hang. I have to power down the MVP and stop/start the PC Server App to recover.

Thanks for your help!

Hi
is there anyone whos has set up defragmentation in a good way?

I just run discdefrag in windows XP and my disk was very fragmented 40% and 81% filefragmentation.

- and a lot of mpg files could not be defraged.

Any ideas how to defrag more often - and how to defrag the mpg files to?

is it possible to defrag a specific file?

Hi,
I wanted to check the difference in quality so I set one recording of show X via TV-guide and another the same time via manual using Xrecord.

Both recordnings were made but the manual one does not show up in Xrecord - it shows in GBPVR recordings.

tried again now / in Xrecord the manual reocording does not show up in pending / it does show in GBPVR/pending

hi,

<< and >> buttons behave strange.
not much (re)winding
sound disappears.

Solved it by giving them same function as |< and >|
in irremote.ini
works fine for me.
no extra solution needed,

but, guess you want to know the issue anyway

hi,
great product!

(note to sub,
installed gbpvr last week
spend yesterday-evening on stress-test and made notes,
so, that why you suddenly see multiple messages :-)

-----------------
Occured once:
during recording i demonstrate to friends all frunctions.
including
- pictures, radio, viewing recorded recordings, weather, comics....

after that: recording was cancelled.

tried to duplicate to find out cause, but failed to find it.
after 30minutes zapping during recording i gave up

---------
now:
- still a little afraid to do something else during recording
- what should i do when it happens again?
- anybody with same issue? one particular function with higher risk?

Hi,
1st: great product!!!
2nd: most needed: idiot proof user-interface.

==============
Now:
confusing channel-change/miniguide/info in live-tv

During live-tv you have the option:
- info: see current cahnnel-info
- channel-pre-select: also see current channel
- miniguide: see 2 channels

The functions are almost equal, but have differerent user-interface.

Sugestion: combine in 1:
Show miniguide:
- 1channel only, maybe 2 (+highligth)
- navigation-keys to brows through (like tv-guide)
- OK: to 'jump in, get detail-screen, same as during tv-guide'
- rec: to 'record program as selected'
- play: switch channel and 'go to higlighted channel'
(in that case ignore time as highlighted)

in addition:
- offer function in time-shift mode
- AND when using 'live-preview'

Note:
- now its difficult to explain to wive/kid difference between 3 almost similar functions.
- now its difficult to explain why it works in timeshift and why not when in preview-mode
- result: do not use

---------
Also (for consistancy AND less keystrokes)

in TV-guide:
when navigating, add 2 functions:
- rec: to 'quickrecord program as selected'
- play: goto live-tv and play highlighted channel'
(in that case ignore time as highlighted)


Note: less critical, but i guess 'adding smoothness'

-------------
Thanks

Hi,

I purchased a Leadtek Winfast PVR2000 as I saw it on the list of supported cards. However, when I try to watch Live TV I receive a divide by 0 error. Am I doing something wrong or is this card not really supported. After buying the card I read somewhere in this forum that the Leadtek card might not support Live TV. If this is true then I would suggest removing it from list of supported hardware.

That said, I would still like to get this working, so back to my original problem did I miss something in the setup.

BTW the card works fine with the software from Leadtek, but, the software is quite limited in its functionallity.

Thanks,

Joe
