is there any way to run in windowed mode with the border off? I use parameters -pos:32,0,722,558, but I can see the border at top. I was able to do this with beyond tv using /mode windowed /startscreen home /width 755 /height 562 /xpos 25 /ypos 5 /border off. anything similar for gbpvr?
by the way, great program! EVERY version of beyondtv doesn't work properly - 3.3 up to the newest 3.5 beta (either no guide info after a couple weeks or svchost.exe maxes out the cpu with all 3.5 versions). GBPVR just plain works.
I have everything working in GB-PVR, except one feature.
After about an hour, the TV-Out of the 350 freezes, this is a soft freeze, e.g. pressing channel up or down, or home, corrects it.
I can get older versions working (Those that came before the ring fenced buffer) , but since that , I always get this soft freeze.
I am not convinced that this is a PVR-350 OSD issue, as I can now get Sage 2 (With everything going out the PVR 350 TV-OUT) working fine (I had it running for over a week with no problems).
But my preference would be to use GB-PVR, it is simpler to operate and works a lot better with XMLTV.
I do not know, maybe I am paranoid, but looks like the picture quality of the GB-PVR LiveTV is noticebly less than actual LiveTV? Is this the case for everyone? Is this as good as HTPC can do?
The picture looks a 'little bit' blury.. hmmm.. maybe fuzzy... something like that... Even in slow scenes...let alone fast motion scenes..
1- I am using the codecs that came with the PVR250 card (InterVideo blah blah codec). Could this be my problem? Which codec you guys recommend and give GB-PVR best results? I heard that with SageTV the Sonic codec gives much better picture. I do not wanna pay many times for many codecs till I find which is best..
2- Will increasing the video rate in the LiveTV profile improve things noticebly? What are you guys gettings? Excelllent picture undistinquishable from actual LiveTV? Or is it a limitation of HTPC stuff?
What a good rate to use? 8000kbps?
3- I heard that GB-PVR does not do VBR (whatever THAT means.. lool).
Could this be the problem? Or maybe VBR is not a video thing?
If I did not find my self convinced about the picture quality of HTPC, I will only use it then to record shows offline (not Live), and use actual LiveTV for my daily viewing (hence, it is gonna be kinda like a VCR, no timeshifting ...etc.).
By the way: I am using a Radeon 7500 PCI. Is this limiting me in picture quality? I highly doubt that, since I am only watching stuff at 640x480 resolution.
I have looked through alot of the post here trying to find the answer to my question and I have not seen it, so I apologize if I have overlooked it.
GB-PVR version :0.20.05
Is it possible after pausing live TV to rewind/fast forward via the hauppauge remote (350)... All that I seem to be able to do is pause it, then start it back up (play).
My question is more to where do you find the proper IP address for a station. I saw the ".pls" files and I think I could add stations on my own (Unless there is a easy way to add please let me know)
I downloaded the shortcuts but I was wondering if there was a shortcut for the main menu. e.g. If I press <G> on the keyboard GB-PVR goes into DVD mode and if I press <T> it goes into TV mode. Since you could add things to the menu and you assign a shortcut to Weather?
This would make using a Remote and Girder easier I can just program my remote and switch to DVD mode or TV mode with the touch of a button.
Is it possible to show version or date for all plugins (like the weather plugin) on the plugin page, http://www.gbpvr.com/plugins.html (or in the name of the zipfile or something) so it is obvious if something is newer than the version I've downloaded.
I'm looking for any of the plugin that is supposed to put info on the first page...
