Thanks Jeff. I haven't tinkered with skin files before but at least now I'm aware of their role. Cheers.

Quote[/b] (capone @ Mar. 16 2005,13:32)]Is anyone getting an occasional jam-up leaving channels in timeshift? It's actually when I hit esc/back to go back to guide. It stops, but never goes back.

HD flickers, but not heavily...more as if it were still recording. It's only noteable since it's happened a cpl times now. I have to restart recording (it's always lit when it happens), and force gbpvr.exe closed. It seems like it just can't end the recording. It also seems to be after some flipping (back/forth between stations). I don't think it's happened from guide-show-guide that I can think of.

Low priority problem, since I can avoid behavior. Just mentioning in case other ppl were encountering.

Same here. If I start watching a show from the Guide and then hit "Stop" or "Back/Exit" the PC appears to lock and never returns to the Guide. Task Manager shows GBPVR.EXE hitting 99% CPU and I end up having to kill the process.

The Guide is the main way we watch "Live TV" and my wife is starting to get annoyed. It's only a matter of time before she starts threatening "the sofa" for breaking "her" PVR. If anyone's figured out a fix please let me know.

Looks like I will be sticking to .90.10. No need to rock the boat in calm seas.

Don't read me inparticular wrong. .91 owns .9. It has was way more improvements than it goes the rare glitch, for me at least.

Oops. Double post.

sub added
<ExitOnEsc>true</ExitOnEsc>
to the config.xml file, which allows you to exit gbpvr when you press escape (which is the back button).  just change it to
<ExitOnEsc>false</ExitOnEsc>
if you dont want it to exit (thats what i did).

I obviously need to brush up on my skimming skillz Thanks alot.

As always, its probably a good idea to back up your existing GBPVR directory if you are going to be upgrading from a previous version.

From the change.log:

Quote[/b] ]2005-03-15 v0.91
- Added basic avi/divx/xvid/wmv support for the MediaMVP.  
- Added aspect ratio control for VMR7/VMR9. Press the F7 key to toggle between aspect ratios. Additional custom ratios can be added to config.xml if required.
- Now correctly identifying conflicts with multiple capture sources on the one device.  
- Added changes that should help users with stutter in timeshift mode.
- The -noframe command line now truely gives no window frame.
- Fixed a bug where video was sometimes not correctly stretching to fullscreen when Teletext was enabled
- The over-video TV Guide button (or F1/F11 on the keyboard) will now toggle guide visibility.
- Now remembers and restores the window size and position when GBPVR.exe is started
- Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when resizing the GB-PVR window when video was playing.  
- Fixed a bug that could stop capture sources from being deleted (if you original saved with XMLTV, then changed to zap2it).
- Much improved scanning for BDA devices. It now finds channels names for most channels, and also identifies channels with AC3 audio.
- Added a setting to auto return to live preview mode (from timeshift mode) when you change channels.
- Fixed a bug that could stop the EPG from automatically updating if the time was entered manually.
- Fixed a bug that could cause conflicting season recordings not to show in the conflict list if the EPG was automatically updated by the recording service.
- Fixed a bug with manual reoccurring recordings which could lead to duplicate conflict recordings being scheduled.
- BDA users can now select which multiplexer filter to use. In addition to Cyberlink and InterVideo, I've also added the ShowShifter mux to those that can be used.
- Added mini-guide to live preview mode  
- Added support for MyBlaster IR Blaster. Very first channel change can take a few seconds extra to detect which com port the MyBlaster is attached to. This also applies to USB version, which acts as a com port.
- Now only adding teletext filters to graph when teletext is visible. Previously the teletext components were always in the graph (when enabled), which could sometimes lead to instability for some users.
- Added page up/down for Recordings screen. I was working on a entirely new Recordings screen, but wasnt finding the time I needed to finish it, so have held this back for a later release.
- Fixed a bug which could cause loss of audio when you use FF. Also added multi-speed FF for VMR7/VMR9/Overlay (press multiple times for x2, x4, x6).
- When scanning for DVB channels, GB-PVR will try to guess at a channel mapping for you based on channel names. This may save some time for people with lots of channels.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the wrong DVD to play if you have multiple DVD drives (including virtual ones with Daemon tools).
- Added a setting <RecycleUSBUIRT> which may help users that have problems with the USB-UIRT stopping work after a period of time.
- Fixed a bug with RepeatCount and InterCode delay for USB-UIRT  
- Changed UK DVB-T frequency offsets from 167KHz to 166KHz.
- Fixed a divide by zero error if you try to access the tv guide when no channels are setup.
- Fixed a bug that could cause live TV files to be left behind until GBPVR.exe was closed.

Which DVB-T device works best with GB-PVR & Haupague MVP - I'm looking to upgrade my Haupague PVR USB2.

To be quite honest, I dont really know yet. Its still relatively early days for DVB support, so I've not exposure to that many devices. I'm personally using DVB-S devices from TwinHan and Hauppauge, and I probably have heard enough yet to decide which DVB-T devices are good.

It sounds like there is a couple of "quirks" with the Hauppauge Nova-T.

Hallo Mvpaaagh,

Do you have any explanaitions for this problem.
I have the same with Version 09105. Do you have any response from sub?
Thanks

[QUOTE=mvpaaagh]Since upgrading versions, SOMETIMES when I am watching a recording, and I hit the stop button on my MVP remote, the video will stop, return me to the menu. When I go back and look at the directory where the vieo I was just watchign was located, it is GONE- deleted. ANy ideas what's happening? [QUOTE]

[FuzzyPapaBear]

Work around update: If you hit the "Menu" button instead of "Back/Exit" or "Stop" GBPVR.EXE does not lock up. (Perhaps because it is not having to redraw the Guide?) Thanks to Groover KM for the work-around.
