I have a problem with my PVR-350 whereby the TV OUT output is marginally worse than the output of my Geforce MX440 card. It is slightly blurry, and looks likes its ghosting slightly. Any idea what I can do to fix this? It happens in both GB-PVR and SageTV. I am no where near the quality that my Telewest Digital Box puts out. I am using the composite on in and out, as well as PAL of course.
I was just wondering if anyone has tested this program with the MSI VOX TV Tuner (external USB). It looks excellent, but I am unsure what kind of chipset the tuner has, and am concerned about the program working with it. I currently do not have the MSI VOX, but it is on my wishlist (must be a USB tuner)!
Also, I am wondering if the OSD will work in the following situation:
I plan on using a Matrox Parhelia card, which can make any video on the primary monitor appear full screen on another. With this program, would the OSD display on the video source, or would I be out of luck here?

Hey All,
i'm looking for feedback/comments/help(?) on a vlc plugin. For those who do not know vlc, it allows streaming of various video types locally or across a LAN.
I'm wondering if its feasible through a plugin to have a vlc client which can read an mpeg stream and either via Sub's write/read methods (employed by live tv) or some other method be able to view them in GBPVR.
At this stage it would be an mpeg2 (ts or ps) stream which I think is viewable on the TVout of a PVR.
I am getting some recordings with distorted / overloaded audio on record.
I am using the PVR350 for the tuning & recording but I am not sure where the recording level is controlled from - it is not clear with WINTV or other apps either .
I am getting a audio loop caught when the restart/resume dialogue appears using the XCard for video & audio output.
Is there a way to mute the audio or stop it altogether when this dialogue appears ?
I'm trying to create a new skin, but I seem to have hit a problem. If you have plugins or custom tasks (say the very useful diskspace plugin) then on the main menu they just show up as the blue skin. How do I point to the button images I want. Is this something set in the skin.xml file ? if so could someone spare a few minutes to explain the structure with regard to button images and custom tasks.
If I am on totally the wrong track, please let me know.
Trying to setup a manual recording. This is what happens:
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
WTF?
And while I'm at it, here's one for the wishlist, a little more flexibility with the manual recording. AM/PM instead of military time, and the ability to set by the minute instead of 10 minute chunks of time.
I'm trying to get some basic animation working with the Jukebox. Â Currently I've found these problems:
- needsRendering() is never called.. ?
- Render() with requiresMoreRendering = true is called too often. Â Below is my current escape clause, but even this is too much processing; the system grinds to a halt with the CPU pegged.
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
public Image render(out bool requiresMoreRendering)
{
  requiresMoreRendering = false;
  if ( nextRefresh.Ticks > DateTime.Now.Ticks )
  {
   return null;
  }
  ...
}

Hi whenever I try to record a program either manually or through the TV Guide, the recording causes the picture to freeze and it will not record. After this occurs I try to watch live tv again but get the following message No capture source was available for you to watch the requested channel. I fix this problem by going into configuration and removing and adding the source again which is my tv card Adaptec Videoh USB 2.0. Please help. Thanks.
