1) it would be nice to have the guide be able to scroll left/right and up/down a page at a time.
2) It would be nice if the guide had a drop down box with the dates that were stored therein, so that selecting a date would jump to that day's programing
3) it would be nice if the things that can be played areas had page up/down ability.
4) it would be nice to be able to have multiple speeds of FW/RW, the speed level changing with each press of the FF/RW button. 3x, 15X, 60X and 300X can be acheived by skipping from P frame to P frame for 3x, from I frame to I frame for 15X, skipping every 4th I frame for 60X, and every 20th I frame for 300X
5) It would be nice if GBPVR would be launched by pressing a button on the remote.
6) It would be nice if the buttons on the 150 remote that say TV, Guide, Videos, Music jumped to those sections of GBPVR. This could probably be done by supplying definitions in the irremote.ini file, but I don't know how to do that.
I hope these are merely small tweaks on a wonderful product.
People, including myself, have previously asked how to control the video parameters, e.g., brightness, contrast, color, etc. Â I have found that I can control the video parameters by using not only the picture controls for my graphics card, which affects the whole desktop disply, but also using the picture controls that are used by the codec that is rendering the output video. Â In my case I am using the PowerDVD codec, and when I adjust the picture settings in PowerDVD and store them, they affect the playback in GBPVR. Â I beleive, that if you use the Intervideo codec that came with Win2000, that the video controls there (under MPEG settings) will be picked up by the codec when used in GBPVR) Of course, you can also adjust the parameters of your display. Â Together, you should be able to construct a pleasig display. Â Keep in mind that different channels, and even different shows, seem to have different inherent levels of brightness and color, so a setting for one channel or show may not be as good for another.
Sub has also indicated that there are values in direct.ini which can be used to adjust the display but I believe it was previously posted that changing those settings will change what is recorded as well, while changing the other places I mentioned won't.
recently upgraded to 23.13 and am using it with mvp connected to TV. it seemed to work ok for a short while, but it seemed to reset itself quite often when navigating back to menu after playing a recording.
now however, the im getting no rtesponse from Haupp remote, even when trieing the reset button. the mvp light flashes in response, but nothing happens on-screen. I've checked batteries and tried running GBR from the PC...all fine.
is this version compatible with MVP as there is another post with similar problem
I am having an anomaly with live tv displayed on the pc monitor.
The tv does not center itself in the window, but typically moves off to the lower right... I can expand the window to see it all.
Is there a config parm I can fuss with to fix this?
I have v0.23.13 installed.
thanks
There hasn't been much written up on the support and/or tweaking of the xcard to work better, or utilize more of the xcard's capabilities in gbpvr. I was wondering if there are any other users out there that use the xcard in their gbpvr machine?
I've noticed there isn't alot of information posted in the wiki or here in the forums.
I've been thinking of making a skin that will work ok with the large amount of overscan I get with the xcard. (to aleviate the picture degration in the gui when I adjust the overscan properties in the config). Other than that, I haven't found any great ways to utilize the xcard. anyone else??
