GB is great and is almost perfect.
I have found a couple of annoyances.
They are:
- when attempting to cancel a recording in progress, it sometimes takes quite some time to respond. On occassions, it has sometimes caused PVRX2 to fail to respond altogether. The only way forward is close PVRX2 with ALT-F4 or taskmgr. In some cases a complete reboot is required. Any ideas of what is doing this, which log should I look at?
- playback/skip sometime freezes. I presume this is related to TS problem others have spoken of. Is there a fix or a workaround? (note: I prefer TS over other formats due to its flexibility - I tried mpeg muxes and never achieved a reliable result, dvr-ms has limitations when viewing video on another platform when recording)
- auto aspect gets confused and sometimes provides strange results. The most common is to show a squashed letter box. Can I improve this. Note: I am using a Nvidia PureVideo decoder.
- I sometimes get this error in my pvrx2.exe.native log

Any ideas as to what is causing it?:confused:
- this is not really a bug, does gbpvr automatically purge old guide data so as to ensure the database does not get to large.
- when connecting as client over wireless, any updates such as adding a recording take a very long time and I suspect are receiving timeouts. I am guessing this has something to do with the way the client updates the database on the server and limited speed of the connection. Unfortunately, I cant improve the speed of the connection, hence is there something else that can be done.
