1.0.8 available

gEd, see how this suits you.

Sub/Fatman_do - thanks for making this 'fix' so quickly. This update made the Icon-column perfect for me

Sub: Stuff like this is second to getting functional stuff done. I think we all appreciate that!

First, I love the new DX interface, very smooth.

Sub/Fatman_do:
[INDENT]I have been modifying the TV Guide skin.xml and wish to change the way the date is displayed above the the icons. I don't need the day of the week displayed. Is there another way to display the date?[/INDENT]

Sub, great respect for the latest and greatest. Runs without any probs.
Can't wait to have the radio function back though. When it does, I'll release it to the family for obvious reasons.

I just saw this today. Was the the "three line srt subtitles condensed to two problem" fixed in this release?

Hey I saw on there that no matter what its running VMR9 Custom, How can I change it to use overlay? Or can I? My machine always had a problem winning that.

Sorry, no can do on the new interface. Using a Direct3D renderer (VMR9 Custom/FSE) was the only way I could mix video with the new Direct3D user interface. It would have been nice to continue to have all the renderer options available, but this was the price of progress.

[/INDENT]In that skin file:

@visibleDate = December 10, Saturday
@visibleDate2 = Dec 10, Saturday
@visibleDate3 = Saturday
@visibleDate4 = December 10
@visibleDate5 = Dec 10
@visibleDate6 = Sat 10

Yeah, I fairly sure this is fixed.

Looks great! Couple of questions:

1. Does this fix the "delete doesn't really delete" problem? I've been suffering with this since 99.12. Select a video in the video library, choose "Delete" and confirm the deletion. The file is still listed on screen. If you quit and restart GBPVR, it's gone. Sub, you had previously mentioned this would be fixed in the next release, so I'm hoping it's true!

2. Is anyone using this with the Software Recorder? I know that's not supported, but if it doesn't work with 1.0.8, I won't be able to upgrade.

Keep up the good work, sub!

gEd, to walk you through tweaking it more, open the skin.xml in notepad.

at the bottom of the file you will find

Code:

        <CompositeImage name="ChannelHeaderItem" size="20.5,9.0">
            <DrawRect loc="0,5" size="99,92" fillColor="Black"/>
            <DrawText text="@channelNumber" visible="@showIconAndName" loc="[color=Lime]10,5[/color]" size="[color=Red]80,90[/color]" textStyle="ListingStyle" align="Left" valign="center"/>
            <DrawImage filename="@channelIcon" visible="@showIconAndName" loc="[color=Lime]10,5[/color]" size="[color=Red]80,90[/color]"/>
        </CompositeImage>

The items in red are percentage of the black box you see surrounding the icons.
The first number being widt, the second is height. The green is what percentage over and down from upper left corner of those black boxes.

If you want to change the size of the black boxes, PM me and I can walk you through it.

Thanks for helping out.

I think I just cheated.....
I saw there was a DrawRect element and though, well I don;t want a rectangle at all so I'll just set it's size to 0. Hence

<DrawRect loc="0,5" size="0,0" fillColor="Black"/>

works fine for me!

I dont remember this problem, but it certainly seems to be working on for me, so I can only guess its fixed. (for those wondering, the released version of PVRX2.exe didnt have a delete button in the video library, but there is a patch for it in the support forum)

2. Is anyone using this with the Software Recorder? I know that's not supported, but if it doesn't work with 1.0.8, I won't be able to upgrade.

lol - just get a supported card already . It should work, but I suspect you'll need its DLL in 'plugins' directory and a subdirectory.
