I will update that when I add sub's new features. I don't support the colour keys or live tv just yet.

OK , I have updated the GBPVR PCHServer test version on f mvpmc to support the livetv playlists and the colour keys. Here is the rference

There are are few notes

1. Channel skipping doesn't work yet
2. You MUST hit a key after watching livetv to stop the recording.
3. Live TV from the main menu starts on the first channel

This mvpmc mode does support digital SD mpeg-ts streams in livetv.

Sub and mvallevand, can we start another subforum for the PCH work? Really interesting to follow. Can't wait to see what happens.

Thanks,

I probably will, but I'll wait for a little bit - until its supported in an offical release, and I've deteremined if this is mechanism I'll stick with. For now I'm just playing around.

Martin, it might be worth trying the mod mention in this post to see if it improves the menu image quality on you PH: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=2...stcount=75

That looks promising, I'll try tonight

The image looks like the good image in the image browser but it won't scale to the screen and I've played with the user-agent string as mentioned earlier.

I've updated my pch image page with the image rendered with < body background = ... /> It has the same problem as the meta content. There is something wrong with the way background images are drawn by the PCH (note the Image_Load text at the top left.

I have got a problem with GBPVR and the PH while watching live tv. When I watch a movie GBPVR stops after 45min with streaming and starts from the point I started watching the channel. I have to reselect the channel to start the correct stream again. It looks like there is a maximum filesize-buffer or something like that for watching Live-TV.
I have enough diskspace so that should be no problem. Does anyone know what is causing this behaviour?

I'm away from home at the moment, so cant double check it here, but can you reproduce the problem then zip and attach the GB-PVR logs subdirectory so I can take a look?

As a follow-up to this thread I've updated my screen capture page http://mvallevand.googlepages.com/pch.html with default output from the 080117 beta (the 2nd image) and you can see how much clearer it is than my first attempt (the 3rd image) and it is now the same as browsing the pch.jpg. Not as nice as the last two from the mvp but it is much nicer now

Without a doubt the PCH 100 is still in beta.

For the mvpmc PCH emulator I forgot to mention that I did some testing and my initial speed problems where because I installed the PCHServer incorrectly. Roughly I get

2-3 screens per second with emulation mode
1 screen in just under a second on the PCH
1 screen every 2 seconds with the PCH emulator.
