Hello all,
First off I must say that GBPVR makes a great front end for a HTPC.
It is totally customizable, especially if your familiar with xml.
I'm not new to the game of video off a computer, I've been messing around with this stuff for years, all the way back to C band.
OK, now I've been playing with GB for about two weeks now and have a setup that has a WAF of almost 100.
I have read just about every post I could find to no resolution.
2 problems-
#1
While watching live tv and its in 720, I have perfect pictures!
If I change channels to something 1080 (MOSTLY CBS)
the picture is great but will freeze for a second from between 10secs and 2 minutes.
I've tryed tweaking about everything I can tweak from CCC to renderers to codecs.
Best so far is VMR9 fullscreen with Intervideo codec! AC3 audio.
(I have just about every codec known to man)
I do not see this behavior from any of my other tuner software.
Is there anything I am missing??? (maybe older version?)
#2
I have setup a schedule to record soaps for wife.
What is the behavior of the this software when it starts recording?
She came home early one day and the main menu was up, she went to select Tv Guide and it hung. It did however still made the recording, but I had to crash my computer to unhang it. I've since instituted a kill switch with tasskill. Yesterday I came home early and it was on the main menu, I pressed a button and it hung again,
this time though after recording finished I could select and restart live tv. I this a bug?
Sorry so long winded!!
