Hey there,

I've been using GBPVR for a while now, but I recently reformated the computer because everyone knows how Windows is. My harddrive was fragmented beyond repair. I now have scheduled tasks to run Windows Defragmenter twice per week on the recordings partition, and once per week on the Windows partition. I also have a scheduled task of restarting the computer once per week to keep everything fresh. This brings me to my question:

My version of GBPVR is 0.98.8b

1) There has been a (or several) new release since the one I had installed before. I now noticed that Timeshift Mode starts automatically when I watch LiveTV. This feature is a waste of system resources for me, and I don't want it to turn on when I start watching LiveTV. Timeshift mode makes the computer act slower, makes channel changing slower, etc. I want it to be like before when if I wanted to pause a show, all I had to do was press Pause and it would start timeshift, then I would press pause again to pause the show.

2) I notice that when I'm watching LiveTV and I press "Menu" on my MCE remote, it brings up the main menu, however on the right hand side the LiveTV is still playing. Is there a way to disable this so when I press Menu it simply brings up the menu?

3) I forget how my setup was in the previous version. I have a PVR150, and a PVR500. So in my Capture sources I have 3 items listed. I forget whether or not I have to enter my Zap2It info in all of them, or only in 1 of them (will it try and retrieve the info 3 times if I enter it 3 times?)

Thanks in advance!

Nothing has changed on that front. If you have the 'use live preview mode if possible' option set, then it wont use timeshift mode unless it has to (PVR350 tv out, MVP, client PC). I can only guess you've unset that option accidentally.

If you press 'back' on the remote instead of 'menu' then it'll stop live tv and return to the menu like you describe. Alternatively you can set <UseVideoInset> to false in config.xml to disable this feature.

You have to configure it separately in each of the capture sources, but if each capture source uses the same zap2it login details, then only the one request will be made to zap2it.
