Since this softare is no doubt used on a wide range of displays/TVs, sure would be nice to have an easier way for the newbie who does not want to spend time learning all the editing details buried in SKIN.XML files. I have not yet found any docs on all the object types in the skin files. Many are obvious, others not so obvious. Plus, it would reason that if one needs larger fonts for say Video Library, probably need it for all other modules too (assuming same display device is being used). So it would be nice if fonts for various object types (buttons, titles, text lines etc) could be done on a *global* basis, rather than just an individual module's skin. So offer some area to select default/global fonts. Make row heights proprtional to font size so one only has to change the font size, not the row height as well...
It's a great program, but could definitely be made more newbie-friendly. I expect many less technically savvy users do not want to have to edit .XML files...
I use GB-PVR with a MVP unit and find the default font sizes in Video Library, where I spend most of my time, way too small. I have a 24" TV that is connected to the MVP, located about 15' away from where I watch.
So I want to increase some font sizes, particulary the scrolling box containing the text listings/files in Video Library. I found a related article in the forum, but it was very vague and simply said to copy an existing Skin folder, renaming it to something else (e.g. "My Skin". Then it suggested to edit the SKIN.XML file. So I edited C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\My Skin\Video Library, changing the font for TextStyle name "ListText" in the <TextStyles> section. This did increase the font size, but now the *height* of each text line is too small to fully display the larger font. Anybody know how to edit the height of this object so it can accomodate larger fonts. I realize that will mean less visible lines in the scrolling box - that's OK.
Any tips or documentation on doing such tweaks to GB-PVR would be GREATLY appreciated!
v.908... I've eventually got the Nova-T recording by installing a demo copy on InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 (this gets the mux filters required). However all my recordings seem to have a minimum of 1 second time lag on the sound - it seems consistent throughout the recording and via MVP/showtime. Any ideas?
I'm gradually getting a Nova-T card and MVP unit working. I've noticed that the MVP output from a recording is in 4:3 format (on the PC the whole widescreen image is there). How do I get the full 16:9 picuture via the MVP?
I'm thinking about replacing my Asus P4V8X-X mobo as I'm not convinced it's quite right in the head.
Got my eye on the Intel D865gbf (the hardware guys at work claim you can't go wrong with an Intel chipset - hmmm, I'll take their word for it.
Anyone got one of these? Specifically, the Asus hangs at startup if I have my PVR500 in unless I replace the AGP graphics card with a PCI one. That doesn't bode well and makes me feel a bit uneasy about the mobo in general.
with the new version, my mvp works a little bit curios:
I've 102 channels. For 25 channels, are no epg-data available.
When I'm watching these channels via mvp, gbpvr stops and restart the channel every 28 seconds.
The external tuner does not become a new channel, but in the mvp you can see the stop-symbol and one second later the play-symbol.
This happen's only on channels with no epg-data.
At every restart, the counter on the top goes from 28 back to 0.
How can I solve this problem ?
As turnaround, I could create dummy-epg-data :-) Is there any software that creates this and append to my xmltv ?

I have a disk library of DVD movies ripped and recorded with DVDShrink. Display of these movies with WinDVD or Windows Media Player via my Radeon 9600 Xcard is no problem, however, GB-PVR does not recgonize these files.Any idea why?My set-up is Asus P4P800, 2.8 G CPU, 1Gbyte Mem, Hauppage PVR150, Radeon 9600 256 Mb Xcard with TV-out & DVI, NEC LCD1760NX and Monster Soundcard.
Before Christmas I installed GBPVR version 0.2311 and the MVP worked "most" of the time - I had the once a week "looking for servers" screen. I then installed version 0.2313 and things got slightly worse, say 2 or 3 times a week.
Since i've installed 0.908 it's much worse. It mostly happens when watching videos, from any of the plugins including the supplied from sub ones. It can be a few minutes into a programme or more than an hour into a film. Having said that it can happen when playing music or viewing pictures but less frequently.
When it happens it looks for servers for several minutes but if I turn the MVP off then on it takes 10 seconds or so.
Over the past few days I have tried lots of things including some of the registry changes suggested in this forum. These are the registry changes I've made:
I resorted to putting the original hauppauge MVP software back on and it works well. It is like this now but I have to keep starting and stopping the MVP services to use the MVP.
I point the video directory to the recordings directory from GBPVR.
I've been using a Hauppauge PVR250 with GB-PVR for some time with excellent results and decided to expand my channels through adding the latest Hauppauge Nova-T PCI digital card. I've installed the latest drivers for both units and tuned in set them up in GB-PVR Config file ok. I even used the Tuning Asst to set up the analogue channels.
But . . . Using the 2 cards together somehow doesn't work and there's no live Tv preview anymore. Is this some sort of driver conflict?
