Yersterday I played around a bit with the config.xml and I found some settings in there that cannot be edited using the config application. I was wondering whether this is intentional...
Anyhow, some of the settings are quite useful so they might be interesting for other people out there:
* <AutoPlayDVDs> will automatically start playing a DVD when one is inserted while GBPVR is running; works in GBPVR and PVRX2
* <TVGuideVisibleMinutes> can be used to make more that the default two hours visible in the TV guide; useful for large display with high resolutions. only works in GBPVR
* <MenuLayout> can be used to change the ordering of the main menu items. works in GBPVR and works somewhat in PVRX2 (is not entirely predictable)
* <TVGuideChannelHeaderType> can be used to select how to show the channel in the TV guide. Options are 0 (icon + name), 1 (nr + name), 2 (name only). Unfortunately, there's no icon only mode, although this could be achieved by tweaking the skin. Seems to work only for PVRX2.
* <ExitOnEsc> will exit GBPVR when ESC is pressed in the main menu; only works in GBPVR.
* <OverScanBorder...> can be used to draw a black border around GBPVR, if your TV-out signal is 'cropped' by your TV; works in GBPVR and PVRX2.
There are of course more options, but these I found of general interest.
Disclaimer: be careful when editing the config.xml by hand; you could screw up your installation. Be sure to make a backup before you start experimenting.
