OSD on Xcard

[sub]

shspvr is on the case. Does joveplayer output a menu to your tv via the xcard? Even an expired evaluation should be enough to tell if the OSD is functioning on your card.

Yes JovePlayer is giving me my menu and is working just fine.

Package up your computer and send it to me here in New Zealand, and I'll take a look. Just kidding

Sorry, I dont know what the problem is.

Oh my I can just see S/H now hehehe.

I will restart my system from scratch and see if it solve the problem.

How much does it cost to send it to you from Canada ??

[nox71]

I restarted my system from scratch but it still doesn't work. I think i will have to stick with JovePlayer for now.

Just reconfirm one thing that isnt 100% clear from the previous posts. When you playing video with GB-PVR configured to use the XCard, you are seeing OSD shown over the bottom of the video (on the TV)?

Can you email me you config.xml. I'll also add a few more diagnostic messages to the XCard support and send you a download link.

Correct when playing video or watching Live TV i got the video with a little OSD bar on the bottom of the screen on my TV. Here is my Config.xml file:

Got some hope for no reason the OSD appear for about 1 minutes and i was able to navigate trough and start playback of a video but when stooping the video to get back to the menu i lost my OSD. I will continue to make testing and give you some feedback Sub.

More detail: the only way i can get the OSD is by goimg to Net Radio -&gt; select a station and then the OSD appear as long as i don't try to playback a video because every time i stop a video playback i lost the OSD and i have to go back to the Net Radio to get it back. If i start a video playback and let it go to the end it gave me an error message in french so i will try to translate &quot;Error: The object reference is not define to any objetct&quot; something like that!
