is any one getting a proper sizing on jpeg pictures? my screen has black bars on the left and right of screen and the picture is squeezed in from the sides. like horizontal squeeze. Perhaps the author of the plugin could massage the code a bit!

Just wondering if anyone has ever used Jreceiver for anything.  Before I found Media MVP's I was using Rio receivers.  The software that came with them was pretty bad and I found a group of people who wrote a new interface for them.  Rio receivers are on a similar principle as MVP players, but for music only with a small LCD display.  At any rate, Jreciver appears to be a front end for music organisation and retrieval.  It allows you to create dynamic playlists, and I believe also streams media to other applications.  Jreceiver searches an MP3 database using ID3 tags, and you can create dynamic playlists such as genre = rock or genre = pop.  As you add music of this type the playlists automatically grows.  Really neat actually.  the only downside of this is that it's not an easy install.  there are a few components that have to be installed to make it work.  Anyways check it out:

JReceiver

Forgot to mention, the web site also has an SDK for Jreceiver.

As per your orders

I would like to be able to see the current time in the TV Guide and/or the info bar.

Thanks

How long to live-tv buffer files live?

Is it possible to show the current system time on the TV-Guide screen? Also I notice that the info bar is not really 'on time'. It was 6:45 and showing the info for the show on at 6:00.

Seems I sometimes can get the GBPVR to come up, other times its the default detting. Also when I do get the GBPVR to come up, when I choose a menu item, it goes back to the MVP "connecting to server" message.

Where can you see what version you are downloading, and whats new/fixed since the last version?

Thanks

Well that didn't take long. There's now plenty of cheap brand new MVP's for sale on ebay.co.uk.

Good news is that they can still be had pretty cheap - less than 30 pounds.

How hard would it be to duplicate the features and functions of TiVo on the MVP?

Hooked up my PVR 250, its native wintv program works fine. GBPVR gives me sound and alot of snow (You can tell the picture is back there though). Tried different overlays/codecs...
