Emulation mode testing Round III

[mvallevand]

That is very interesting that yours works OK. Mine has never worked properly with insetvid on, with either dongle.

One major, which is nothing to do with mvpmc as it is there with the Hau dongle, is that I get the vertical line problem on my plasma screen when in inset mode. This ruins still images and also shows on the menu screen.

Ship me your screen and I will be happy to test it! I actually haven't tested inset mode with PAL for a long time, so I will check that after work. Are you running the default skin with a 16:9 aspect ratio?

But there are many other weird happenings. For example, when playing a video the image jumps into a small image bottom left instead of full screen (rest of scr is black). Press menu - works as expected.

That is odd because the screen mode is set by gbpvr, the black scr is expected when you are full screen. Have you ever moved your mvp to hook it up to your Hauppauge card? This would help determine if there is a problem with inset mode and your monitor.

With the Hau dongle I was getting errors but also key stackups suggesting a bandwidth problem somewhere.

The bandwidth isn't that much different, in fact it is less the full screen while there is some OSD graphic.

Hi Martin,
I have been trying your latest Alpha dongle and its great, much more responsive and stable. Thanks

One thing I did notice though, during live TV, Pause doesn`t work and if you want to skip back that doest work (These work while watching a recording but not during live TV).

Other than that its fantastic!!!!

Thanks

Hi Pete, what FF option do you use in GBPVR?

Martin, I have tried 4:3 and 16:9 in the Playback section but the results are the same i.e. video lockups and small inserts instead of full screen displays. I checked on the freight for my panel and it looks to be uneconomic to ship it to you. Otherwise, I would have - honest!

Folks, am I the only one having these problems with videoinset on?

Honesty is good, I've heard "the plasma's in the mail" once too often.

Yep, the world is full of liars!

BTW, missed out answer re skin. I use stock std Blue.

Hi Martin,
What do you mean when you say "what FF option do you use in GBPVR?" is it a setting in the config?

Thanks

Yes it is on the Misc tab of the config. "Use short skip instead of FF/RW"

Martin, with your alpha dongle, should the web interface be available? I have never been able to connect via the browser, the telnet interface seems to work fine.

I turned it off on the wireless port intentionally because I was contemplating implementing more security in the web interface which I never got around to. I'll enable it for the next alpha.
