Hey guys, Need some noob help here.

First off, I love this program, it is exactly what I was looking for. Ok now to my question/problem.

I am trying to record shows to add to my video on-demand system. Everything works great, but I had a question about it. I would like to have all the movies I record under 1gb with the highest possible quality. Now I have 2 ways for doing this as far as I can tell.  I could lower the record settings or record in high quality and encode using divx.

Now if I lower the record settings then the quality will not be as good and if I use divx on them then I have to go thru and encode every movie.

So my question is this:
What would be the best way to get 1gb movies with the best possible quality?
What is better, increasing the resolution or the bitrate for quality?


Now onto my problem. I am currently using a PVR350 and I am using the TV-Out on it. The picture looks great, almost as good as my normal live TV. The problem is that in order for me to get sound I have to use the audio out on the PVR350, but when I play music it doesn't play thru the audio out on the PVR350, instead it plays thru my normal audio out on the sound card.

Is there any way to get it to play all sound thru the PVR350 audio out?

Thanks in advance,
Solo

Hi,

I have a Pentum III with 384 MB RAM, Windows XP SP2 and a Hauppauge PVR350.

GBPVR works fine, except when I change the channels when I watch Live-TV.
Sometimes it will change the channel, but very often GBPVR will freeze.

Does someone have an idea?

Thanx!

since it also has wishes... I include it here too:

http://gbpvr.com/cgi-bin....;t=1381

OK I include my greek language.xml. Let me know if it goes online.

Now issues and requests, all thrown together...

1) Anybody to make a skin resembling Meedio's Pandora Box Ice Age? :-) - I tried but couldn't do anything more than change the background.

2) A little bug. If you have a mix of channels having EPG and channels that do not have (or you don't currently have EPG info on them), there is nothing to show your position. For example:

ET1 (empty nothing to the right)
NET (empty nothing to the right)
ANT1 (EPG list for the day)

if you are over a program on ANT1, all fine... if you press up button (where you go in the empty NET list) there is nothing to show you are over NET or ET1. If you press up once more, then you are over ET1, but you don't know that - you need to press down, twice to go back to ANT1 list and SEE where you are. I hope you get my meaning. There should be some indication of where you are in ALL cases.

3) There are known localization problems with some text (like "Record Every Saturday & Sunday&quot. When are these going to be fixed?

4) Popping the on screen menu (the menu with the "pause" symbol in the middle) doesn't do anything for me. Does this work?

5) Is there instant record (while you watch)? If not, there should be. Pressing the record button while watching a channel, should start recording until I press stop. Right? (also a "REC" indication on view screen - read 6)

6) RECORDING SHOULD SHOW ON SCREEN. In all GBPVR screens! If you watch TV, there should be an indication that you are recording (so if you change channel, you screw your recording - the system could let you know and ask if you are sure). Also there should be an indication in main screen and an extra question in PVR programming, so if you select to record something else, the program should let you know that you are already recording and if you want to end the current recording. The least that should be implemented is RECORDING INDICATION, in all screens. Checks etc. could come later.

7) Buttons. What can we do there? It is very important to be able to customize the buttons. I am using Girder and an X10-compatible remote. So could there be something to help with those things (that most of us use)? Maybe a girder-message sender/receiver through ir definitions?

that's all for now - I hope I get some good feedback

I was looking at the code for the web interface and wanted to know if it was designed to run under IIS? or does it run under a cassini variant?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Guys

Just wondering whether it's possible to diplay video (either recorded or live TV) on both the PC monitor and out of TV Out from the PVR 350 at the same time. At the moment the monitor just reports a message saying the video is being played via TV Out.

Thanks in advance for any help

I would like to see perhaps a A Long Transparent retangle at the bottom of the screen That tells you movie title, and info if you wish to put that info in there.Also really need this stop button bug (returning to the main menu)when it should return to the current video title you are playing...

Hi,
I'm in North Carolina, and after Day light saving time ended the other week i've been having problems recording. I updated my epg for the new times, and that stuff is fine. But sometimes the programs I set to record just don't record. Once the scheduled recording time has passed the show stays in "pending" without recording and I can't clear it out. Every once in a while one will work, but more often than not the recordings fail.

Any ideas?
Thanks

When using the custom plugin or custom buttom to run a command on the pc, is there any way to show the information on the screen of the mvp. For example if i wanted to use mplayer or Powerdvd to play something is it possible to stream this to the screen..

In live tv, the show titles on the OSD don't seem to keep up with real time. They seem stuck where they were when I started gbpvr. My EPG is good.

PVR-250, Nvidia tv-out, xmltv listings (because I merge a few listings via a script).
