I've got the My Programs plugin and it's very cool. I've got four emulators running under it and they all tie into GBPVR seemlessly... with one exception...
When I run an emulator (or other program) the program only runs on the computer's monitor not the TV. I want to play these games on the tv (that's the whole point) but can't figure out how to make them go through my tv card.
I have a Hauppauge 350 and any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

My Programs will only ever run these programs on the PC desktop. The PVR350/XCard/MVP are not capable of showing the under interface for these applications. These applications (emulator etc) would have needed to be designed to know how to use this specialist hardware if they were to work with the PVR350/XCard/MVP. GB-PVR cant change this.

sub,
are you sure about that? How does GB-PVR know or care what the output device is? I am running a nvidia agp video out card that has an s-video output and a vga output. Since installing GB-PVR a week ago, I am set in DUAL screen mode so I can compare skins on the pc and the TV at the same time.

I was going to install My Programs next. I won't waste my time if it can't put out to a TV but how does it know the difference?

Make sure you have both displays set as "Primary". This is how the ATI card needs to be configured for stuff like this, but nVidia may be different. Just something to look into...

The question was in relation to a PVR350, which has a specialist output device designed to show MPEG video. Through some tricks, I manage to force it to show the GB-PVR menus and interface on top of the video. These other applications and emulators do not perform the same tricks, so their interface is not visible on this device.

This device its not like your nvideo AGP card. There is no way to show the desktop or generic applications through the PVR350's TV out. The same goes for the MVP and XCard. These are not some generic "output device"
