VMR / Overlay choice

[JonnyCam]

Hello,

Not sure if GBPVR uses the renderer to actually display the program, or if it's only invoked when the directshow starts - but I would like a switch or option to be able to choose between VMR & overlay without using the config app.

This is so that I can change to overlay when watching football & rugby - as I find the picture is too soft, and doesnt have the same crispness when in VMR9.
Mos of my recordings work fine using VMR9, and the OSD looks nicer (not to mention that anything other than full screen gives a dark purple AR bar instead of black on the TV)

Thanks

EDIT: Could this be added the the playback options in the System plugin?

IIRC you would have to restart GBPVR to switch the renderer, so I would suggest creating two config.xml files, one for overlay and one for vmr9, along with two batch files which will overwrite config.xml with your config.vmr.xml or config.ovr.xml and then start GBPVR, you could ask someone to make a plugin to do this (rwmech has a request thread).
good luck
