GBPVR seems to use a TON of memory.
Right now (during channel update)
config.exe 113 meg
GBPVR 30 meg
recording service 27 meg.
and sitting idle, it is over 100 meg.
Plus it seems to hang for about a minute after altering/viewing recording schedules. I mainly use my MVP with it, but the same thing happens when viewing locally.
I have a little problem and wonder, if somebody has an idea how to solve it: I would like to schedule recordings via the web, but I am running GBPVR on a workstation, which is connected to the Internet through Windows-Internet-Connection-Sharing. The gbpvr-workstation gets it's private IP from another Workstation which is connected directly to the Internet. I can access the GBPVR-http-server nicecly from the computers of the home-network, and I can access the workstation which functions as a router via a dyndns-domain-name. Is there any way (e.g. through the Windows-firewall) to make the gbpvr-Webserver accessible through the dyndns-address? (Dyndns only sees the IP of the workstation functioning as router)

i'm workin' on a skin and wanted to get some feedback... if everything is working right and i was hoping that somebody knows how to fix some of the problems i've run into... there are alot of things i wasn't able to skin even though gb-pvr is highly skinnable and is easy to do so at that.
- tv guide: is there a way to modify the width of the tv guide?
- tv guide: i would like to have no lines separating the tv guide listings but to leave like 2 pixels space between the shows... a transparent border so to speak... is there a way to do that? if i make the border-color transparent, there is no visible border between items.
- the manual recordings panel uses the buttons from "recordings"... all of my main-menu buttons are pretty wide including those of the recordings-menu. as a result of that the "record" and "cancel" buttons overlap each other. is there a way of customizing the manual recordings panel buttons separately?
... there are more components i couldn't modify... but these here are the ones that bug me the most... so if anyone has a solution for me i would appreciate it.
Is there any possibility to define menu shortcuts to use with Hauppauges 45 button remote. I mean that this remote has TV, Radio, Guide, Videos, etc buttons and I'd like to have feature that being in Videos (or in whatever plugin) and pressing TV, it goes directly into Live TV, "Guide" goes to EPG, "Videos" to user defined plugin ("My Videos" or "Videos" or whatever), etc. If this function is not yet implemented, it would be nice if future versions will have it
PS. For me it is no problem to press "back-up-up-ok", but just can't explain to wife why these buttons on remote won't do anything useful

sub could you change the osd for the blue (info) during a recording, to match the blue osd during normal live tv. ie show the description in the bottom, and the progress bar, with how much is recorded and how much is left to go at the top of the screen (perhaps even do this for normal video playback).
Just getting GB-PVR running, for the most part everything is great, but when I hit the "menu" button on the Hauppauge 34 button remote that I got with my PVR-350 it locks up my machine everytime.
I am running a hefty P3 750mhz (en/de coding is done on card) XP Pro SP1, 256MB RAM, 120GB drive 8MB buffer, with a Netgear 108 Wireless card.
I also remote desktop into this machine so I have no monitor, keyboard, or mouse connected to it. Otherwise just a base install.
It never ceases to aggravate me that the most basic function of recording Closed Captioning is still non-existent in PVR software. Unless things have changed recently, no PVR software will digitize the entire vertical blanking interval (VBI) and regenerate it upon playback. Yet, TiVo and DVD players perform this flawlessly. So is it a hardware or a software issue and can GB-PVR support it?
