A Few Questions -- go to command, color controls, enhanced OSD

[msmith8228]

I must say I am very impressed with this amazing software -- I have been testing it extensively over the past six weeks and am almost ready to deploy NPVR as my 100% replacement for SageTV.

A few final questions:

1. Is there a "jump to" or "go to" command that would allow me to jump to a specific time point in a recording while it is playing?

2. Is it possible to add more information to the pop up OSD display -- such as the original channel that a recording was made on -- some times I record the same high definition program from both Satellite and Over The Air ATSC -- and I would like to see which I selected for playback by showing the channel number / name on the OSD?

3. Are there any options to adjust color and contrast during playback from within NPVR or is this limited to a setting in the video decoder -- the reason I am asking is that not all decoders have color / contrast controls -- or in my case the Cyberlink decoder that I am now using for MPEG decoding will not allow color / contrast adjustments in VMR9 mode which is my preferred renderer. Are there any other options for color / contrast controls outside the video decoder? I do not want to adjust the physical color / contrast settings on the TV as it is already calibrated for correct playback for all other media sources

4. Will older plugins that were made for GPBPVR work for NPVR -- such as a plugin I am interested in testing -- call display

Thanks in advance.

1) Just type the timecode and then hit skip forward, eg (on a keyboard) "60 Ctrl+Right" would jump 60 mins in.

4) No, GBPVR plugins don't work with NPVR.

Thanks for the quick response -- is there an absolute "jump command" -- type 32 an the play position would jump to 32 min on the time lime vs. a relative jump that would just move 32 min from the current position?

No, not at this stage.

How are you playing back your recordings??

It already shows the channel Name (& Number - Name in the popup) in the MetaData panel in Recordings.

How about 999 backwards and 32 forwards in the meantime ?? I have done that to get to a known position on occasion.
