This is not really about GBPVR as I havent set it up with the MVP yet but I'm hoping someone can help with this.
I've just installed a Nova T 90002 & MVP & having problems with aspect ratios & display sizes.
For a test I recorded The Gadget Show on Freeview ch Five yesterday. If I view it using PowerDVD it displays correctly as a wide screen video. When I use MVP to watch it on my old 4:3 TV it is full vertical height with the sides cropped instead of full width widescreen with the top & bottom black bars. The video proportions are correct.
If I try viewing a widescreen DivX it displays correctly although my pc is not fast enough to play it properly. When I converted this DivX to mpg, MVP would stretch the vertical to full screen height & crop the sides.
All recordings made on my PVR350 display correctly, ie in proportion & the correct aspect ratio.
Is this a problem with the MVP or is it something that I have not setup correctly?
anyone know how to keep the funny characters from a webstream? eg ö,ü,Ã
im using this code at the moment
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">WebRequest objRequest = WebRequest.Create(strURL);
//The WebResponse object gets the Request's response (the HTML)
WebResponse objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse();
//Now dump the contents of our HTML in the Response object to a
//Stream reader
StreamReader oSR = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream());
//And dump the StreamReader into a string...
m_strSite = oSR.ReadToEnd();[/QUOTE]
and if i print out m_strSite all of the characters are missing.
I have a few preferred stations for the Net Radio plugin. E.g. in one of the older releases Club 977 (80s channels ) was on the top which suited me just perfectly. Unfortunatley, this station has moved pretty much down the list when I upgraded to v 0908. Is there a way to move it up?
I would love to see a "Record All New Episodes" feature that would allow you to record all of the non-repeat episodes of a show for the season, similiar to that seen in other pvr apps like mce or Beyond TV.
Here are some suggestsions for features for a future version.
1) If you in timeshift liveTV, ability to press a button on remote and go back to non timeshift liveTV
(yes I know you could quit and go back, but I'm lazy)
2) a warning if you are running out of memory on the hard disk to which recordings are being stored
3) wiping out recorded timeshift LiveTV shows if memory is running out so a scheduled recording could have memory
4) The ability to schedule "watch" but not store, or at least not long term store. The channel will automatically change to the indicated show, e.g., every week. It could be recorded and stored for a short period, e.g., a specified number of hours, after which it would be deleted, or not even stored at all.
5) Ability to have second class recordings - They are in a pool, and if an allocated amount of space is exceeded, the oldest, or lowest priority indicated, recording is erased. If you want to keep one of these, you can select it and so indicate.
6) Ability to delete recordings from the library using the remote, like for recordings.
7) Ability to watch a show that has comskip files so that commercials are automatically skipped. When the frame counter matches a commercial frame a jump is made as of 0-skip was pressed. If comskip got it wrong user could still go back.
8) Info button should bring up a show's description
I just ordered a PVR-150 w/remote but when looking through the forum I see that I may need some sort of IR Blaster to control my Set-top-box so that I can get past the 125 channel mark.
My cable company is Adelphia in S. Florida and they use the Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000 box.
can someone shed some light on what I may need to get this to work?
I almost gave up to make my Pinnacle PCTV Deluxe (PAL) USB device to work with GBPVR - but managed to get hold of new Plextor ConvertX PVR PX-TV402U device. It's as you know the next generation of Plextor ConvertX PX-M402U device as well with certified hardware DivX encoder and buit in TV tuner. So for I am very impressed with this device - but it would be great if it could as well be used with GBPVR
