GBPVR menu on the PCH

OK, changed the config to 640x576 and that makes no difference. So, are you saying I need to rerun the NMTInstall and set it to 576 instead of 720?

NMTInstall doesn't make a difference at this point. Did you try twice or restart the recording service?

I found on my 33" CRT TV I had a huge amount of overscan even though I had selected 576 when I installed, I know Martin isn't a fan of it but I used the MVP Position tool off the wiki as a guide to get mine right. Below is what I finished up with, as you can see it had quite a lot of offset to get it right.

<MAC-0006DCxxxxxx>
<MVPSendIncrementalUpdates>true</MVPSendIncrementalUpdates>
<MVPClientType>PCH2</MVPClientType>
<MVPWidth>564</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>532</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>40</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>24</MVPOffsetY>
</MAC-0006DCxxxxxx>

Stopped and restarted the RS a number of times but no changes.
Does the MVP position tool effect anything else? May give it a try.

The MVP Position tool is just one dll that you copy into plugins (I can't remember exactly where it goes but it tells you on the wiki).

I didn't let it change anything I just took a note of the numbers it displayed & then edited them manually with notepad in my config under my MAC address. After I had finished I just moved the dll out of plugins to uninstall it.

Actually Jaggy I am a fan of the MVP Position tool, but too many people use it incorrectly. Even yours looks wrong.

Instead of messing things up with that tool, I think I'll leave good enough alone. I can use the menu with some patience and everything else looks good so I'm going to quit before I break something else. It's really not a big deal and I've already taken up enough of people's time with this.
Thanks for all the help. The PCH and GBPVR do what I need it to do.

In what way does it look wrong?

It is well worth the time & effort getting it displaying the menus right as things look a heap better after you do.

My bad luck continues then. Adding the MVP screen tool dll to the plugins folder does not show it in the config plugins.

[mvallevand]

It doesn't meet the rule 2 x offset + dimension being equal to max width or height.

Edit: another rule 9 plugins on the main menu only.
