My old setup with ASUS TV7133 and GBPVR 0.96, the tuner died on the card forcing me to buy a HVR1600 and update to 1.1.5 and I'm just having problems out the ass. First, I updated from 0.96 to 1.15 then had problems and I thought that was just broken code from updating from a severely out-dated version. so I did a fresh install in a different directory, doing a complete uninstall of the other copy before doing the install.
PVRX2 wasn't obeying the EPG when something was setup to record. Somehow I managed to fix it, I don't know how I did it, might have been the fresh install.
Doing stuff like moving up and down the menu cause the GUI part of PVRX2 to lock up, preventing me to see the desktop like crtl-shift-escape/delete or alt-tab, requires hard reset.
Watching recorded shows starting from the beginning without pausing it or FF or REW, everything works fine, then the minute you FF or REW or hell pause it then come back causes the audio to cut in and out or lags a little bit behind, and the picture is kind of skippy/jerky. * I personally think this is a decoder problem. Could someone recommend some decoders to me.*
Another thing is that the "KEYS" as in the buttons you push on the keyboard, the functions of PVRX2 don't obey or cause PVRX2 *not windows/system* to lockup so if you wanted to FF and press Ctrl+F it would either not do it or lockup. It does it randomly.
The system doesn't crash, thats if you're lucky to get to the desktop otherwise you're stuck looking at PVRX2 then you press ctrl+shift+escape or delete and see task manager pop up in the back of PVRX2 barely bleeding through, forcing you to reset the machine anyways.
The option "Use short skip instead of FF/REW" in misc is dead, as in it does nothing.
Few other things, but I can't remember them, so it must not be that big of issue.
