Bugs/Suggestions

Great program, I've taken to using it exclusively. A few things for your list, feel free to tell me they're user error, because I wouldn't be surprised.

1. When I try to set the recording quality on my WinTV USB PVR 2, the setting does not "stick". 'Medium' quality is the default, if I change it to 'High', and click OK, and then go back into the capture device configuration, it will be back to 'Medium' again. I am not sure if the setting is saved or not. It might be the dialog not displaying the setting which is actually saved.

2. I have noticed that GB-PVR doesn't always initialize the capture device properly. Sometimes after reboot, going into Live TV gives just a black screen. I've found that waching some TV through the WinTV2000 application and then going back to GB-PVR seems to fix the problem.

3. My attempts to install FFDShow have failed. I hear its a great post processor. Again, possibly user error here. With FFDShow installed I get a black screen. Uninstall FFDShow and all works well.

I have a few suggestions as well, but I dropped those over in the Wishlist forum here

I'm very impressed with GB-PVR and incidentally, that you're able to manage so many users, and their problems and suggestions! My few small projects with their limited user bases is overwhelming, and I'm not quite sure how you manage! Regardless, thanks!

In the config app you can set the properties for each recording profile (high, medium.....). GBpvr will always use the medium profile when you select Quick Rec, to choose one of the others you have to select Record instead (that gives you more options). If you want to use the bitrates from the high profile when clicking Quick Rec, just edit the medium profile in the config app and set the bitrates higher.

Hi,

2. I have the same problem when my system wakes from standby. Sub said he would have a look at it - but I have not heard anything back from him.

Cheers,

I did look, but never found anything.
