Hi everyone. I'm not a new HTPC user, but I am pretty new to GB-PVR; been playing around with it for a few weeks while I transition from my old HTPC app which seems to break something that was working well for me with every new version (won't name any names).
Anyway, the problem I have is that while in Live TV Preview mode using an analog software Conexant Capture card and the WDM software recording plugin (which is unsupported, I know), I can't get the resolution higher than 320x240. It will record at 640x480 just fine, and while recording I can watch the channel and the resolution is obviously higher (the OSD looks better, picture is sharper, etc.), but timeshifting, while it works, looks as low resolution as the live TV preview. I see no settings for changing resolution in the plugin's control panel (except for changing recording quality), but I know it is 320x240 from experience with my previous HTPC app. It had a specific setting for the Live TV preview pin resolution. I would often switch between 320x240 and 640x480 while testing things, and I can tell 320x240 visually now pretty easily and it's obvious in GB-PVR.
Sorry for all the background, but the bottom line is, how can I raise the resolution of Live TV and timeshifting to 640x480 in the software encoding plugin? Timeshifting is the part I really don't get, because If I set the installed software video encoders I use to record a show at 640x480 (I have both Intervideo and Cyberlink encoders installed, and both work, but Intervideo is giving me strange colors so I'm using Cyberlink), then shouldn't timeshifting display at that resolution? Thanks.
