I have a widescreen laptop and when I play LiveTV the display is widescreen with all the osd displaying properly.
If I use vmr9 or vmr7 when playing recordings the osd info will not display at all and the picture doesn't cover my whole screen. If I switch to overlay manager, I can get the osd info on my recordings but they still do not cover my whole scrfeen like LiveTV does.
Why is this and should I just use overlay manager? Does using overlay manager give me less functionality than vmr9 or vmr7? Do I maybe need a new mpeg decoder? I assume the one on my system is the one that came with my Haupagge WinTV PVR2.
Thanks.

Hi,

I have installed gbpvr 9.010 and it works fine.

I have some problems with the overscan settings. I have connected a standard TV on the tv-out of my vga-card and set it as primary display. The resolution is set 720x576.

I edited the symbolic link and added -pos:20,20,680,536. The image is smaller then before, but it always starts in the left upper corner. I changed the values, but it always starts in the left upper corner.

Is this behaviour normal or am I missing something?

Regards,

Wouter

New version of each are posted on wiki.

As always if you install xrecord you do not need to install fastfind too. It is bundled together.

*Xrecord v17 2005-2-17
**updated and fixed the schedule panel.
**Updated with new fastfind

FastFind
  Fixed fastfind bug with null ptr if have manual recording
  FastFind can set default quality in the skin.  
  Now support zapdb genere and cast searching.

In the future I am considering not releasing fastfind as a separate plugin anymore but just xrecord with fastfind bundled inside of it.  If you dont want xrecord just dont select it.  I seem to always release the two at the same time so it would be less work for me.

My appologies to tipstir I still havent added the skinning stuff.

I just posted a new skin. Based on MediaPortal (and hence WinMCE).

Props to MediaPortal for providing really nice images to work with.

I will be building a HTPC in the near future for my Hitachi  rear projector HDTV. It has DVI-D, and Hitachi tells me it really is not meant for PC in. I know most of the better cards that have DVI are DVI-I, and I think I can convert from one to the other? My questions are:

1. Is DVI the best way to go if an option?
2. I hear pattern burn is a problem with these tvs, anyone know of this?
3. Can I damage the tv by sending it a wrong signal, as in refresh rate?

Also, as I am new to this whole idea of HTPC and PVR, any input on building my system is very welcome. I know I can buy a $800 video card, but is there any reason to do so?
This system is just for internet and tv-recording/dvd, no gaming. All using the tv as monitor, no monitor on pc.
I know, how much ya wanna spend? What ever it takes to get the ideal system that isn't overkill for stated uses.

And lastly, I know there are a dozen programs like GB, most you pay for. What don't I get with GB that the others have? I downloaded it, and it looks good to me. Am I missing something?

Has anyone come across a guide for best setup of os/hw/bios for a pvr system?

All my years have been spent on optimizing systems that are home/work use, w/ many applications running at once and a lot of large and small files. I've never had a system that did just one thing w/ just a few large files like the pvr system.

I know there are plenty, but I'm looking for some that people have used and trust.

sub can you add a command line switch so the formborderstyle is "none" so no border is drawn at all. on my tv out the outer edges, white light is coming from the borders make it bright around the edges of my screen. you cant see the borders since they are offscreen but the light still comes through, and im afraid this will be burnt on to the edges of my screen, if the borders werent there at all this wouldnt be a problem. the "-noframe" still draws the borders. if you added "-noborders" this will be solved.

i could change the -pos:x,y,width,height more but if i do some of the menu wouldnt be visible.

cheers.

Question:
If I pause my tv and hit play a few minutes later, I understand that the system will be recording while I watch the rest of the program (I am a few minutes behind). What if I want to quit watching that program and change the channel. It looks like GBPVR is still in record mode and will record any channel I switch to. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hi all, I just built a PVR machine, and bought a Hauppauge WinTV PVR2 to use with it.

If I plan to use only GB-PVR, do I need to install any of the Hauppauge software, or just the driver?

Thanks,
Godfrey
