This is a combo post for support & wishlist. I've been using the DVD part of GBPVR to watch DVDs on my HTPC instead of Windows media which I've been using for quite some time. I have a problem with the DVDs I watch. I'll watch the DVD intros and previews and so on, but when the main menu pops up, I wont be able to control the DVD, or select a menu item. This problem is easily fixed by pressing the menu button(which is actually the i button(or more button) on my gyration remote). Not that its a huge deal, but it'd be cool to get down to the bottom of that.
Now the wishlist part: When I navigate recordings and so on, I like to use short skip instead of FF/RW. I usually set my long skip to 30 seconds and my short skip to 3 seconds. On DVDs this can take FOREVER to find yourself to the middle of a DVD. I changed the setting to use chapter skipping instead of long skip, but it'd be really keen if there was a setting to change the length of the short skip for DVDs as opposed to TV. I would use my standard 3/30 for TV and I'd use 30/chapter for DVDs. maybe there is a way to do this already.
One more item on my wishlist. I'm in love with the new slick skin. I think it looks really, well, slick. One thing that I like to do is use my desktop background image as my slick skin background so when I press the big green button on my remote, the icons on my desktop(theres usually only 5 or 6) disappear and GBPVR appears over the exact same background. It really makes things appear seamless. What would be cool is if you could delete background.jpg and it would revert to windows desktop background by default, or to add an option to just copy the windows background. The only reason is every time I change backgrounds(btw, she loves to) I have to dig up my skin folder and copy the image to background.jpg, otherwise the old background image appears instead. Its easy for her to right click on any picture and make it a background, but it doesn't carry over into GBPVR
tell me what you guys think
