Okay only 2 issues but annoying none the less.
1) MPEG4(divx/xvid) and Occasionaly MPEG2 Playback appears in an Active Movie window even though everything else is set up as full screen

2) when movies/live tv is playing correctly in full screen the on screen controlls (when I move the mouse/use the remote) replace the video with a black background.

Any help would be great, other than that its a kick-ass PVR.

Is there a way to set the default size and position for video playback in GB-PVR? This is a killer feature seen in Media Portal (which has a nice front end to set it up, but the more simple number pad solution from Media Player Classic would be fine as long as the position was remembered).

The reason why I ask is my graphics card has a large chunk of image off the top of the screen. It would be nice to be able to correct for its rather enthusiastic overscanning and scale + position the screen image correctly.

Media Player Classic and Media Portal are both GPL if you want reference code to put this in.

Sub,

Version 18 is running nicely and without large problems. There are a few things that I like to mention:
1/ I start gbpvr from myhtpc as fullscreen; in the config app I deselected windowed mode. However an empty band remains above the gbpvr window, about the size of the top window edge/taskbar. If i press fullscreen twice on the remote this band disappears. Also, the window is stuck behind the taskbar a bit.
Ideally, gbpvr would cover the taskbar and expand over the entire screen (800x600, that is).
2/ Every now and then when playing a recorded movie, the system goes to standby. The interesting thing is that until the computer resumes, the picture on the tv-out stays sharply frozen. When the pc resumes, the movie runs as nothing had happened...
3/ What does SBE mean? And how does it help me?

Greetz,

It would also be nice if it supported Vorbis (*.ogg)

I get the 'Failed to communicate with the GB-PVR Recording Service' message?
I have an 'XP Media Center' pc and .net 1.1 IS installed.??
I also have a Hauppauge Roslyn card.

Edit 1: What I meant is that .net was already on the machine.
It is also needed for another application I run.

I have this problem when I play Divx or Xvid files with GB-PVR

All my movies is played in 4/3 even though they are i 16/9. This means that the picture is strecth to fit the screen.

I hope some one can help me.

It would be really nice if GB-PVR had support for the Pinnacle Showcenter.

I have Hauppauge PVR-250 and a Showcenter - and if possible it would be great if I could control recordings with the Showcenter - so that I don't have to go to my pc to set up the recordings and of course have all the features of GB-PVR on the Showcenter.

Is this at all posible or do I have to keep dreaming.

I have been looking at the OpenShowCenter project, but the GB-PVR seems to be stable and better features.

The Media MVP only supports MPEG1/2.

Most of my movies are in DivX format - is there any software that provides a realtime conversion from MPEG4 to MPEG2 for the Media MVP?

Its gonna be a real pain to have to convert all my movies before I can watch them thru the MVP.

Cheers all, sorry shouldve posted this with my other q

Ive got an MVP on order now, should be here in a few days.

My question is this:
If i want to simultaneouly record one channel and playback another, do i need to have 2 PVR cards? Im pretty sure the answer is yes.

Also, possibly this will only be for UK users, can i plug a freeview box into the PVR card in the MVP server to get all the free-to-air channels i currently get? That way i can watch/record 30 channels instead of the standard 5..

Thanks all
